| Physically of Siamese Cat |
| The
body of a Siamese is long, graceful and rectangular shaped with
large ears on a wedge shaped head. The tail is long and graceful and
the legs are thin. The eyes are large, almond shaped with a stunning
blue color. The coat of the Siamese cat is short and comes in
Chocolate, Seal, Lilac or Blue Point colors. All other variations of
color in the Siamese breed are considered to be a wholly different
breed. |
| Friendly Cat |
| Although the cats look
different enough to potentially be a completely
different breed, both types of Siamese are outgoing and friendly cats.
Both have wonderful temperaments and in many ways act as much like a
dog as a cat. Both are very active and well muscled. The slender cat is
lighter boned but remains surprisingly strong. |
| Need Attention |
| A Siamese cat is not
recommended for anyone who spends a great deal of
time away from home. This breed loves attention and if left alone for
long periods will become lonely and bored. A lonely and bored Siamese
can get into more trouble than your average cat, spending much of its
time planning an escape. If you are away from home much of the time you
might want to get a second Siamese kitten. The two will keep each other
company while you are away. |
| Take Care |
| Potentially the slender
Siamese has a greater risk of certain health
problems, however the teeth problems that can be so common in these
cats, can also show up in their traditional counterparts. It is
possible that because of the in breeding that went on to create the
wedge headed cats, that the traditional breeders have been unable to
breed out the more negative characteristics. It is also possible that
this is just a long ongoing genetic problem with these types of cats
and is related to the genetics of their coloring. |
| Siamese Cat Dislike Water? |
| While Siamese are curious and
love to be around humans, like many cats,
they tend to dislike water. Some Siamese are very curious and
don’t
mind getting a bit wet, but this is an unusual cat. Even Siamese who
like water, tend to have very different ideas about water if they think
they are going to be dunked in it. Have a place that’s
comfortable for you to bathe your Siamese. While
the bathtub is handy, consider whether you can lean over the tub for
time it takes to lather the cat and rinse. If using a sink, consider
how high the faucet reaches. The ideal place is a large kitchen sink
that includes a sprayer nozzle |
