Siamese cats - love them or hate them! I must confess, I love them. 2 Siamese cats share my home, I wouldn't say that I own them, as any cat lover will understand, they own me! I have had them for 10 and 8 years respectively and cannot imagine not having them around. I have kept cats my whole life but always had moggies beforehand. I rescued one male Siamese aged 2 and then purchased a scrap of a kitten (all knees and ears with piercing blue eyes. Although she looked like a helpless waif, trust me, she wasn't!) to keep him company. They hated each other on sight but within a couple of weeks, they bonded and are now frequently found in fluffy purring ...  Read the complete review

I am proudly owned by red point siamese cat called Jasper. Yes I did say owned by, as you do not own a Siamese they own you. Once a Siamese cat moves into your house you become its body slave anytime of the day or night. I have frequently had to wake at 3 in the morning to open our bedroom window to let Jasper in, even though he could enter just as easily by the door. If I try to ignore him his wails get louder and louder till I fear that he will wake the neighbours. Once he is in I then have to spend 10 minutes at least worshiping him. If you try to sleep he sits on your chest and puts his nose as close to your face as he can get and purrs at double volume. So I ...  Read the complete review

Siamese cats make fantastic pets given time and commitment and a good amount of love and care. My husband and I bought our first Siamese cat around three years ago, a male tabby point who we named Charlie. Charlie soon filled our lives with endless entertainment, playing fetch, bringing us gifts, following us everywhere to see what we were doing and often sitting on our shoulder. Charlie became a little possessive with me and did not like me leaving the house for work after his breakfast and morning cuddle. He would run in front of me and block the doorway, often attacking my ankles! This was the point when we decided to buy another ...  Read the complete review

Siamese cats originate from Thailand (formerly Siam). They were so highly valued that only members of the royal family were allowed to keep them. Their original name - Royal points - refers to both their famous appearance and their distinguished environment. The cats were also honoured as guardians of the temples. When a member of the royal family died, one cat was selected to receive the person's soul and intercede for it with its special powers. In the past, crossed eyes and a kinked tail were considered regular features. There are various legends to explain them individually and one that explains them both. All the men of the kingdom had left to ...  Read the complete review

I dont like to generalise but of all the siamese I have met and Ive met a few I can count on one hand the ones that were not aggressive towards carers other than thier owners. We have been running a boarding cattery for some time and I have seen over a hundred different siamese from different breeders and they all display this characteristic. They are very socal cats and are to thier owners incredibly affectionate and intelligent. However they do not like people other than those they are in day to day contact with. Intelligence is the key here they will look at thier owners with adoring eyes, they look at another person with real hate. That ...  Read the complete review
