      I always preferred tabbys, until a little Siamese came into my life and insisted on being my cat. Now, I love them. The eyes are amazing! I also thought they were the most beautiful shade of blue. Is that true with any blue eyed cat, or just the Siamese?

    I love the Siamese breed. Here are a couple more facts: They form a strong bond with one person. They are affectionate around others, but will usually follow their person around, stick close to them...etc. I am Sienna's person. It has been this way from the day we met at the shelter. She waits for me to come home from work. The other fact that I have noticed is that they darken as they age, instead of turning grey.

    I think just how strong the gene is for siamese is worth mentioning. One that I saw wandering around a few times knocked up a tabby n she popped out a siamese. So now I have a siamese in my group of 12 outside cats that I feed. He's even cross-eyed

    • @ThePurringJournal
      @ThePurringJournal  Před 2 lety +13

      Oh wow! That makes sense because crossed-eyes are more common in stray Siamese since they aren't bred to avoid the trait.

      Cross-breeding Siamese and Tabby cats results in Lynx-point Siamese, which are known for being much quieter than other variations of the breed. So if you're annoyed by Siamese meowing, Lynx-point is your best choice.

She had 2 all black 1 black and white and a white one with black spots looks like a cow lol. So as soon as the babies are weened off to the vet she goes! They all have her head and body shape just furrier.

    I think the original type is the best type of any bred, including Siamese. I don't like the way breeders have tried to make over any pet breed. Most times they make health problems.

Mum only gave birth to one kitten, who is now called Larwood. Mum is called Nell. I have to say, after getting to know them, they are amazing!

    I have a cat that is part Siamese. She's beautiful! I took her in from the street since she absolutely insisted on living with us. I also adopt her four babies when she got pregnant before we could spay her.
    Only one looks like her and could be mistaken for an actual Siamese! The mother has the crossed eyes, but her baby doesn't. Both have the blue eyes and fur patterns that started as white. The mother has a long, slim body and a crooked tail. The baby has a stockier body more like the older breed. The others are as different as they come -- a black and grey tabby with a Siamese slim built, a white cat with a few small black spots, and a black and white tuxedo. All are beautiful in different ways, as cats are the most lovely of all creatures. And I'm including all cat species, from tigers to little sand cats and everything in between!

    I loved your video, thank you. We have two Meezers, siblings Felix and Pixie. They are now two years old. The male DEMANDS what he wants, whether it be brushing his back fur, to wanting me to hold him when I take the dogs outside to "do their business", when he is hungry, when he wants a treat, when Dad comes home from work, before he does anything else, he must pick Felix up and stretch him out over his head, and then flip him over and tickle his stomach, and on and on. He understands perhaps 20-25 words from me. The female is a sweetheart. Every night she jumps on me and I have spoiled her by singing a made-up lullaby with her name in it. Now I am her slave!! But, at least, she only needs one thing! After all our rituals, I say, "Pixie and Felix, it is bedtime." and they trot off together to their bed which is in our Master bedroom closet (which we leave open). In the morning they walk all over us and Felix must lick our eyebrows before he wants us to get up!!! We adore them for sure! Crazy, smart, and beautiful cats...our first Siamese after many "alley" cats.

    I have not had a cat since I was a teenager and now I’m 31 and have been raising a Siamese baby man cat named Sisyphus.
    Let me tell you, it has been the single greatest joy of my entire life.
    We are attached at the hip. This is my familiar, my son, my confidant. We go for walks, he knows how to shake hands and give high fives and he even sits on command. If you are willing to be patient you will get far more than what you put into one of these little babies. They really do attach themselves to one person and that’s it. He definitely thinks he’s a king 😅but he’s also very well behaved. A bit mischievous but that’s because he’s so curious and can’t help but play with the garbage disposal lol We are the same entity, I struggle with staying mentally stimulated so I have created different techniques to keep my mind busy and I basically passed along what I’ve learned to him.

    I learned a lot of cool and interesting things about Siamese cats in this video so I just wanted to share my Siamese 🐈🐈. I had a Siamese cat that was almost fully white with some brown patterns on the legs, face and body he also had blue eyes and he was cross-eyed and chunky. He was a sweetheart and would never hurt a soul at least not intentionally🐈🐾🐈
    His name was Toasty by the way cuz he look like a toasty marshmallow. Sadly he's gone but I eventually got over it.🐈🐾🐈

    It's true that Siamese are very loyal. My seal point would follow me around like a dog. He always wanted to be a part of whatever I was doing.
    I'd let him run around in the yard and woods during the day time, and when I called and whistled for him in the evening, he ALWAYS came running. Sometimes he sounded like a bear, crashing through the bushes. 😂
    I never found a single flea or tick on him.
    He was my friend. Best cat ever.

    My cat is a scottish fold blue point with original siamese traits. His mom is a full siamese and dad is half scottish fold half siamese. He has a crooked tail, super talkative and I am pretty sure he thinks he is the king of our house. He has a different relationship with every member of the family but I think he is more close to me. He is a real sociopath around other cats, I feel like he was a man that hated cats in his early life, and he still thinks he is a human. We have another cat from the same breed ( but she is a totally black scottish straight for some reason ), and my siamese cat doesn’t like her at all either. Last year a male stray cat came to our door and wanted to stay, so we took him in as it was winter and he seemed a bit sick. We took care of all his medical care and he stayed with us for around 6 months , then he went out and never came back, still miss him so bad …but during his stay my siamese cat’s personnality changed negatively and I could tell that he was depressed.They were fighting all the time and he didn’t let the new cat use his toilet, that’s why the stray cat needed to go out all the time. He is 6 years old and during those 6 years he never got sick except during that 6 month time period when he has fallen ill 2 times out of no where. After my other cat got lost, he went back to normal and he seemed even more in peace and happier then he was before the stray cat came.

    My boy is half siamese on his father's side! It's the father who influences temperament so he's a siamee temperamentally !! He was taken from a physically abusive human at 6weeks so for quite a few years he wasn't very vocal! He's only very vocal among his few favorite friends! His best friend is my late neighbors dachshund who he talks an earful to!and he regularly plays with his dog breath pal! Siamese are extremely smart and hands on they literally like to help cook! My boys coloring is mainly Russian blue! He looks like he's been manicured with siamese white, big green eyes and the facial features of a siamese!I was always frightened of siamese due to growing up around a crazy mean one! Since all of my cats came to me unexpectedly I don't know ifill ever end up with one?

    The coat thing is interesting. I have a male Siamese named Bowie. His fur is a bit darker then other Siamese that I've seen. He also has that paw thing, which I think is called Snow Shoes/Socks? But basically the tips of his paws are white. His fur is a little thicker kind of. But his colors and gorgeous. And the fact about them wanting more attention is for sure! My cat is always trying to get my attention. He even sleeps in my bed! But for some reason, he mainly only wants my attention? He follows me around the house. He even only wants me to be the one to hold him. For some reason he always seems to only want my attention

    Siamese are my favorite. I prefer the traditional Seal Point, but I'll just love the breed, the personality and temperament. I've had Lynx Point, Seal Point, Lilac Point and a Tabby mix. They have so much personality. I've heard then referred to as "monkey cats". My 2 year old Seal Point Milo fits the bill. He's my BFF. He's a total mama's boy, he's a bully, he's sweet, but very moody. He knows he's snagging. He's psychotic furry ninja. My 3 Lilac Point Lulu is very petite, shh like overweight, she's round, but it's because she's just so tiny, she weighs writing her approved range. She's a talker, she didn't meet a stranger and she's always doing her own thing.

My mom was also a huge fan of the original That Darn Cat! film with Hayley Mills. We have had three Burmese cats throughout my life (as they are believed to be related to the Siamese cat, but I could be wrong). They were Katie, Donner, and Linkin.

    I had a siamese cat when I was 10 years old..I named him Simon.
    As a kitten his eyes were cross eyed but they straightened out when he got older.
    Sometimes he would give off a loud low pitched meow non stop that drove my mom crazy..she would say: "would you take care of your cat".
    All I had to do was pick him up..then he was fine..he'd stop meowing.
    Simon liked lots of attention which is one of the things I loved about him.
    When I'd get off the school bus after school I would hear a meow and see simon walking towards me.
    I would 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.

  • @AWeekLastTuesday

    We had many Siamese cats over the years, is my favourite breed, cause are more sociable then others. To me, I cant handle a dog barking, agitates me, yet our Seal Point Siamese, would bellow, and it as like an echo, and bellow for hours, and I would never be agitated, if anything just mouth back, like saying her name. I found the Seal points the most vocal, and we had 2 blue points, both were way quieter and more passive. One was a female, other a male. I also found that, in out family of 6, the Siamese cat seems to pick one person in the household as theirs, and usually hang out or sleep with that person more often then anyone else...other breeds of cats we had never did that, just were the usually come to anyone if they want attention but didnt favour one person over another, My mom called the round head Siamese, which was her fave variation, Apple-head Siamese. That first face was one I never knew, that and fact 2.

    The legend of why siamese have crossed eyes and crooked tails is... 2 siamese cats were given the job of watching over a golden goblet for the ruler..they watched so closely they became crosseyed while their tails gripped the goblet so tightly they became crooked.
