My first cat was a Siamese back in 1968. I named him Tao after the cat in Sheila Burnford's "The incredible Journey". Tao was my devoted and constant companion for nine years, He died from megacolon. I cried for over a week. Siamese are my favorite. I live with 2 cats now - mixed breed - because most of my life cats have come to me as strays so most of my little ones were rescues. I am 80 years old now and my life has been dedicated to non-human animals and children --I'm a retired elementary school teacher.

My Siamese cats know simple commands, and have dog like characteristics, and love to play fetch, can open cabinets, drawers and doors. The three Siamese I adopted work as a team, when they raid the pantry. They want to be in the same room as their humans, and will track you down. If you are considering a Siamese don't get just one, get a litter mate if at all possible. Siamese love their own kind, because they are busier than other breeds. They are always looking for something to get into, just like having a two year old child. They need lots of toys, and play time with their humans. Check the shelters, before buying a Siamese. People new to raising Siamese kittens find they are too busy, and need lots of attention, that the human isn't prepared to give. So Kittens that were purchased are turned over to shelters, because owners were not aware of the time and energy these beautiful creatures require. It is an over abundance of love they give to their humans.

My Siamese "Chloe" lived to age 25. She was so faithful. I still miss her.❤️

When I was 10 years old I had a siamese cat I named Simon. He would wait for me at the bus stop. He had blue eyes and was cross eyed when he was a kitten but his eyes straightened out as he grew into an adult. He wouldn't touch cat food of any kind. It had to be raw meat, if it was cooked he wouldn't eat it. He loved raw chicken gizzards, that was his favorite. As I would step off the school bus I'd hear a meow and see my cat walking toward me, I'd pick him up and carry him home. It was always a mystery to me how Simon knew where the bus stop was and what time the bus arrived. If I ever get another cat It'll be a siamese. They like lots of attention which is one of the things I love about them.

Proven fact: all cats understand human speak. Most cats ignore it.

My sister’s Siamese rode the horse even if she wasn’t riding. We would look out and there was Pia riding the horse around the pasture. Favorite indoor game, hide and seek. Unfortunately she had several favorite hiding places, behind the door, atop the fridge and like. We had to pretend we couldn’t find her sometimes and let her jump out at us.

Back in the 70's I had a male Seal Point Siamese named Simon, and a Goldfish named Garfunkle. We had a small broken window in the basement of the house we were renting, and Simon liked going outside there and would bring me "presents." One morning I woke up hearing his muffled meows. He had a dead bird in his mouth that was still warm. On another day while I was talking on the phone to someone, he brought me a LIVE garter snake! He set it down on the floor near my feet, and I had to end the call and catch it. The house had large furnace vents, and didn't want the snake to go down into one of them because it wouldn't be able to get out of it. I could only imagine what that would have been like in winter when the furnace was on all the time. I caught it and took it outside and let it go. I had to put Simon in the bathroom with the door closed so the snake could get far, far away before I let Simon come out. Simon loved Christmas. He would climb up in the middle of the cut tree, and nap on the branches. He never bothered the ornaments at all. I think he thought we bought Christmas trees just for him. He was very vocal, especially when I was cooking in the kitchen. He always tried talking me into giving him some of whatever kind of meat I was cooking. Especially chicken! He was a great cat. 😻 ❤

i got my first ever cat 3 years ago its a full blooded siamese with paperwork and dna test. he is by far the smartest animal ive ever seen. he learned commends from seeing my German shepherd work with the trainer when my moms service dog passed he stepped up an started sleeping an spending time when her he serves as an emotional support/ alert animal these days. im glad they have each other i would not have enough time for him now that im in college.

Siamese cat owners !! be careful out there ! . we just had our siamese cat stolen 1 week ago . The Bengal cat breed is the number 1 most popular cat breeds stolen , number 2 is the siamese . our neighbor's had a party next door last week , and we have not seen our Mia since that early evening !! we are devastated !! makes me wonder if we should have never allowed her to go outside .She was a beautiful ,friendly ,blue point siamese kitty . 5 years old ..

my siamese kitten (at 4 months old) figured out how to open the door. it took him a week. he taught himself, i didn't want him to learn that! it took him less than a day to teach himself fetch (at 5 months old). he can keep a game of fetch up for hours, where i am exhausted! i heard in this video some siames learned hide and seek. i wonder how that is taught? I am about to start teaching him pet-buttons. he is plenty smart enough to do that. (just starting 6 months old). I adore having him and it's a good job i do, as he never leaves me alone.

Shocking indeed, I was shocked by these facts , to the very core 😂

Because my Spooky Mookie is only half Siamese she doesn't behave like a pure bred. She came to me out of the hedge in our apmt. parking lot. Lucky me. She's not a ferral. I think someone just put her out because of her BIG personality. Again, lucky me. She's a gift to me from The Universe. I'm old and before Mookie I was basically a couch potato. Now caring for her keeps me active and entertained. Sadly though, she is not a lap cat. I only get affection on HER terms at HER discretion. Good enough.

I have had three Siamese cats and two Himalayan cats over many years of being a crazy cat lady. 😁 They are intelligent and active, and four of the five were affectionate and sweet. I just love this breed!

Our two Siamese kitties, Felix and Pixie, are so smart that my husband take to spelling words in front of them!! If I say to my husband, please take the trash out, Felix will run to the door closest to the one where we can go to our garbage can. If I say "treat or dinnertime", they both salivate. At night we have "loving time" with them, and after a while we say, "Go to your basket." They jump down and take themselves to their bed not far from ours!!

I was outside tending to my 8 cats in outdoor enclosure about 4 wks ago and heard meowing- my neighbors dogs are cat killers so I went over and found a chocolate point Siamese kitten under their shed!….my vet said she’s a chocolate point Siamese.

Siamese kittens turn out a darker coat if they get cold. If they stay warm they remain whiter.

I have a blue point Siamese boy named Macaroni. He’s my first pet ever, he’s 7 years old. I love him sooo much he’s the sweetest, loving baby ever 🐾 💕

I am owned by 2 Seal point Siamese Munchkins. The legs are short. They are more agile than their long legged counterparts. They are busy, lovable and very interactive. 😻😻😻

Excellent! Thanks for sharing. Our Siamese always got along great with regular cats and dogs and would often sleep in a pile with them. Best of luck to you and our furry friends!

As others have said, get two as kittens. They are quite social and will pine for you if left alone for a length of time. Not a great breed if you like a quiet kitty either. On a scale of 1 - 10 ( 1 being quiet and 10 being extremely loud and vocal ), they are probably a 6 - 7 when you are around and they are playing. This noise increases to about a 36 at feed time. In colder climates, they LOVE the heater. They will lay in front of it for hours on end, holding the floor down. They can be protective of their huuuman also, growling at strangers that come into their home. Plenty of scratching posts and toys are a must also. They can be trained to not scratch furniture, but you should start this early in their lives.

2:45 my sweet Gretchen. Rip love you miss you

I have a 2 year old blue point Siamese he is my third Siamese I have had in my life time.He thinks I am a poor hungry hunter so far this summer he has brought me home 4 snakes of various size ,one dead bird ,numerous voles ,I thanked him for the voles and scolded him for the snakes and bird.

Awwwwwwwww sooooooooo cute

I do. Our Siamese, Zeus, has for white feet, with 1 or 2 dark spots, on each toe. His nickname is Jeebus, cuz, sandals. :) He is an indoor/outdoor cat, who is very aloof, and never seeks attention. He does however, absorb it, when put upon.

Bull droppings! Siamese cats have the most personality and are the most intelligent of cats. They are 100% FUN! to live with.

I have a siamese, best cat ever! Incredibly smart! And lovey!

I have twins Siamese cats they love to follow me and cause trouble

My Siamese is 2 months and has been watching me put stuff away in the drawer I don’t want her to get too and she’s starting to understand how to open the drawer

My Siamese has green eyes. She does follow me every where. Loves looking out the window and does play hide and seek.

Some friends in Ireland in the 60s told me their Siamese cat was 27 years old. They'd got him as a kitten.

I have owned 6 Siamese cats in my life..my father gave me the first..."Tawney" when I turned 13..my second was "Song Hong I Tong " a code word my parents couldn't recognize.... "Chester " a huge Chocolate point male..given to me by my father-in-law... "Sasha " we called " Sauce " a beautiful delicate female who adored my husband and would sit on his shoulder with her head against his face and gaze adorningly at him....and ignored me.. " Simon " a beautiful Lilac point... "Enki Du " named for the Samaritan God of mischief..who lives up to his name...all were unique and wonderful personalities...I've owned other cat breeds over the years but loved my Siamese the most...lesson learned by ownership....never insult a Siamese..they will get you..and you'll not forget the experience..

Haha my siamese opens cupboards at night

My Siamese Whittaker has known how to fetch a ball since he was 4 months. He also follows me to the restroom, if I’m taking to long he will leave and swiftly return once he hear the TP roll to remind me to wash my hands. He bunts the soap container then the water facet. Once I turn the water on he takes off running.

We share our home with 2 Siamese Cats at present and have had Siamese previously from the early 1990's and I can't say I find anything "Shocking" in your content !!. Can you explain. The differing colours of Siamese have become more apparent over the years as breeders introduce more variations. The 4 main colours were Seal,..Chocolate,..Blue,..and Lilac Points, but now there are many variations. Seal Points being dark Brown near Black with Chocolate becoming a lighter shade of Brown then Blue Point which is a Bluey/Grey colour and then Lilac which is a very gentle shade of Red/Ginger. The Colour Points are also known as temperature points as these areas change colour depending on the cats body temperature. Siamese living in a warm or hot climate are usually much lighter in colour than those living in countries with a cooler temperature. Another example,....If a Seal Point gets a small injury to one of its lower legs where the fur is dark brown and it's bandaged until healed, on removing the bandage the fur will have changed colour to a Creamy White as the fur has been closer to the skin and warmer under the bandage. Generally the cooler areas of the body such as the mask, ears, legs, and tail are darker with the warmer areas such as the neck, chest and underbelly being either Pure or Creamy White.

Not sure why you would say "not the most affectionate breed". It surely is. But I am very intrigued about which race you think is more so.

I'm not shocked by any of these facts.

I know a friend of mine who has a cat who starts her car with her right paw. A lot of people including me because I've never heard of a cat starting your car when it's right paw, and besides that cats do not start cars.

I like the black and cream model

My Siamese is very affectionate. His markings are very dark, though he looked typical as a baby. He is incredibly sweet, and also demanding. He is a great companion. He’s smart, but I don’t know if he’s as smart as my first cat, who was a giant mutt boy.

My Siamese has me trained!

THANKS TO You🥰‼️ 👍👏👏👏💯✨✨🇪🇸

This is something I will never understand anyone who owns a Siamese cat they’re bound to go to the great heavens, but what puts away that sadness a brand new Siamese kitten carry-on.

Our Siamese cat, Toby obey me once I call him. He loves to sit in my lap and when he finish his food he makes sound meaning clean his part.

I have a female that’s about a year old. She is absolutely stunningly, beautiful and smart. She opens cabinets. She sniffs the floor like a bloodhound with her tail up. But her amazing feet. If she had a voice, you could actually watch her and hear her count how many temptation treats she gets each time and the expression she makes when the amount is not enough for her liking

Chinese cats for children of my friends is my heart my business

I LOVED this video & a lot of it described our cat (now i know we arent crazy about him being cross eyed)....but one thing was wrong....we must have a defective cat because ours isnt smart, his head is just full of floof 🤣🤣🤣

Long live Siamese kitties

I had a beautiful loving Siamese years ago. She was intelligent and so sweet. My ex got her since I couldn’t take her with me since I was a traveling service technician

“Tree-tiss”

My applehead Siamese always wants to lick my boxer dog, all over like she’s bathing him 🥰 and also people she licks hands arms and feet, more than my tortoise shell cat does

Mine if he doesn't get his way he'll throw tantrums while doing zummies throughout the house

I'm desperate for a Siamese but dang... There are so many scammers online. I'm losing hope.

Shocking?????

My Siamese used to trick me ,she would open the balcony door and escape leaping onto a tree and then come back in and lay down by the gallery so I wouldn't know about it, until a neighbor saw her in the tree and told me , very clever , now she's 11 yrs.old and I let her out but she wouldn't roam around and stays within the perimeter of the house. ♡
