Advantages: Love and cuddles and their amazing antics

Disadvantages: Wailing at 3 am in the morning and dead birds and mice on your pillow.

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 give in and adore him. In the winter he then burrows under the covers and curls up against my stomach to get warm. In the summer he usually goes back out to make sure that the local mouse and bird population does not exceed its quotas.

The Siamese is a very regal and snooty cat (except when you catch them rooting through the rubbish.) Every move they make is elegant and controlled. They never waste energy. They dole out their affection in carefully controlled doses so that you never get quite enought and keep going back for more (sort of like Cat Heroin).

Jasper is our youngest cat, but is king of the house. The only animal not to show him due deference is my Cavalier King Charles Hector who is his main wrestling partner. They play cat and dog tag which involves Hector pouncing on Jasper when is asleep and then they chase each other around the front room. Jasper does ninja like stealth moves onto Hectors back as Hector runs away. Once they have tired of the tag game they will curl up together and go to sleep.

Jasper is no respecter of laid down meal times. When he wants feeding he demands his food and his wail is so loud that he usually gets his own way. Meals are eaten fending off a skillfully aimed paw from the peice of meat you are trying to eat (he does not waste his time with chips or veg.) A butter dish left on the side is not safe even when the lid is shut tight as Jasper can usually get this off and then you have to pick out the cat hairs before you make your sandwiches. Foil covered packages are there to be attacked by Jasper just in case they contain a recently roasted joint. I have frequently wrapped a joint and then covered it thinking it safe only to walk into the Kichen 20 minutes later to find that he has lifted the cover and sliced open the foil and is sat munching on fresh lamb or beef. Even the egg pan is not safe as he is not adverse to a little drink of olive oil.

When we got ducks I was worried he would kill them. He did show a lot of interest in them when they were in their cage and used to stalk them. Once we gave the ducks the run of the garden however they soon discovered that if they attacked Jasper first with their wings out, heads down and beaks wide open that he would run for the hills. Now I worry that Jasper might not be safe!!

I think that Siamese cats in general are adorable and that Jasper in particular is worthy of my servitude. They may be a noisy breed, but their personalities and the love that they give you are worth any drawbacks.

Summary: The Siamese is the perfectly groomed superstar of the cat world.
