I want to know, what people think of siamese cats!
My Butter is not a purebred Siamese, but we believe he has a lot of Siamese in him. And I love him dearly, although most people who have met him don't! :o He has a vicious tendency to bite and scratch, which in most cases is his form of playing. But my daughter and a few others think he is wonderful, and I do too!! :D
{{Logan}} You're so cute and a GREAT mom, and that Butter is one handsome man, even if he is a bit of a touch-me-not kitty!;) He's got to keep that macho appearance! LOL I think he has quite a bit of flame-point in him! Last year when I attended a catshow up in Pleasanton, CA...there was a cat in the adoption area that looked just like him! Gorgeous flame-point siamese! I had to hold myself back from snatching him up. Amberlee said that I might just have to drive a van next time we go to a cat show, so I can adopt all the kitties and buy a bunch of items from the booths! LOL LOL LOL :D
I think siamese and oriental breeds of cat are very striking. I think my Marius has a bit of oriental shorthair in him with his high cheekbones, big pointy ears, slanted green eyes and triangular head. He's really resembles the white oriental shorthair. I could just have a whole housefull of these cats! LOL LOL Of course, hubby would have NOTHING to do with THAT idea! :rolleyes: LOL LOL
I was love/hate, but now I'm totally in lerrrrve!
My mum has two Siamese and they are cross-eyed, weird beasties with rather bizarre behaviours :) so I wasn't too keen on them.
Then Mini, our Siamese, came into our life by accident and needed a home due to his heart condition, so I weakened and said OK. We nearly lost him and it was then that I discovered how much I love these intelligent, yowling, domineering, playful, destructive kitties! I wouldn't trade him in for the world.
When I get home at night he's waiting on the stairs for me, he follows me around the house and then bolts upstairs to wait for me to change. He sits in the bathroom sink while I'm brushing my teeth and has a little chat with me in Siamese-speak. He sits on my ribs at bedtime just to make sure I know he's there and has his toys waiting on the bed for (far too early) morning play. He sits on the computer keyboard to play beeping sounds to me while I work and sometimes steps on the 'send' button so my friends can read my English/Siamese e-mails. The most engaging and infuriating of cat breeds rolled into one!
but I don't have one.:( I love their blue eyes the best! Is it true they are born white and they don't get their points until they are older? Miss Meow do you know? Did you get your cats as kittens?
Wolflady, if Siamese do start out white maybe Marius is just a late bloomer with his points. Does he have blue eyes?
I have a female Snowshoe Siamese, and I love her to pieces!
I'm not sure. I think the Siamese with the dark points are born fairly dark, and the colours deepen at several weeks of age. The light pointed colours, such as lilac, seem to be relatively pale at birth and also darken.Quote:

It's true that a lot of kittens are born on the lighter side, more creamy, and the points darken as they get older. Marius is almost 6 years old and he has green eyes, which is typical for the white oriental shorthairs (they can have either blue or green eyes) which leads me to believe there is some sort of oriental ancestry in his lineage!! He's definitely a Heinz 57 mix of something...and something because because he is...how should I say...bodily mass incline?? LOL LOL :D :D In any case, they're all incredibly adorable!! :DQuote:

Here's a pic of my Marius! This is oddly, one of his favorite places to sit:D
I thought I would include some pics of purrley's gorgeous cats! She has siamese, and they're all so lovely!!:D
Here is a pic of her Braydee...who is a flame point.
This is Frisco. Look at this face and that tail! Such a handsome fella!!!
Here's one of Spencer and Frisco...what a gorgeous pair of cats!! They look like statues:D
Miss Meow those websites are great and they did have kitten pictures that show them pale at up to one week then darker by 8 weeks. I think I like the sealpoints the best.
Wolflady thank you for more photos, I think Marius is handsome no matter what his mix!;)
Oh! Thanks for the website...Um ok the siamese kittens have big ears! lol
oh they are so beautiful. i want to get one. wolves are some of my favs too!
http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/caer/...ages/wolf3.jpg
Oh yes! I have one and love him/her!... I have TWO they mixed but Total Meezer! .... The Beans are just way too much fun!:D :D :D
Hey! Vermont Cat Here is your answer I got it out of my cat fact book:
245. Siamese kittens are born with a white coat, which changes as they mature. The Siamese cats are known to be very vocal.
Well there is your answer :)
Oh and that attachment is a Siamese cat graphic I made. I know it sort of looks like a dog. Oh well.
All of the photos are so cute!
Miss Meow and Wolflady already answered my questions, those Siamese websites that Miss Meow gave were very helpful too. I found another great website that someone had posted here earlier on pettalk, its www.siameserescue.org. You should check it out for more beautiful cats who need homes.:)
Oh cool. . .Hey uh is the font on your usernames all like screwed up? Mine is to small and hard to read!:eek:
What a great web site, although it's heartbreaking to see yet more abused and unwanted cats.Quote:

HUGS!!!!!

No, I do not have a siamese cat,(:( ) But they have always been my favorite breed and I would love to have one!:)
I did manage to bring Tiger with me to this new home. She is a lynx-point Siamese, but does not have some of the more pure-breds' habits, such as incessant talking. But she still retains enough Siamese traits, along with her appearance, especially her large expressive blue eyes, to make her unmistakably a Siamese. I would not trade her for any other cat.
.............wayne
I love them on Lady and the Tramp even though they are so mean on there. Many people think they are mean because of that cartoon, but they aren't. I have been around some very lovable ones.
I prefer Siamese mixes. I love the siamese coloring, but the heads on purebreds kind of wierd me out. Maybe if I ever had a purebred I would feel differently. But I've had two siamese mixes and I really love them.
the cat i had was Persian and half Siamese.
She's half Meezer and half DSH.
AND 100% ADORABLE!
I have a Meezer mix named Maya Linn. I love her SOOOOOOOO much. She's a talker too. I wish I could adopt a Meezer at the Shelter named Diamond. She's an older chocolate pt who is so sweet. But I don't think it's fair to add another cat to my already large crew (8). Although I WAS going to take Carrier before the shelter killed her...
Hmmmmm, lemme thinkg about this.
It's true. If you look at Skylar right now (who may have some Siamese in him) you can see that he was pure white and now gets the cutest caramel or orange points:)Quote:

I would love to have a meezer. If you know an Abyssinian then I think a Siamese will be right for you. But I prefer the Siamese of the old type (now sometimes named Thai) with their round little heads. they are incredibly cute and I simply melt when I see babies:)
Hee, hee Barbara, I asked that question a year ago when I was new to Pet Talk! I have learned so much here in a year!:)
If you look back in this thread Miss Meow posted some nice links with some photos.
I still love Meezers and I still want one though.;)
I was new too! And I loved Meezers so much that I got more :eek: :)Quote:

I owned siamese cat, she was cool :) So cute and smart :) her name was Dasie :) she was litle bit dark siamese, not light color :)
Miss Meow - in your signature - these are yours cats?
I think that my Sky has some kind of Siamese in him. He was shaved when I adopted him because his fur was badly matted. Now it's growing in and it's getting much longer so he's a DLH. He has sky blue eyes and will do this cute little raspy meow and chirp too. Do you think he could have some Ragdoll or Himilayian in him? Here are some pics.

His paws also have long fur tufts growing out of them. They're about an inch long and this is even longer than my Maine Coon mix Storm's paws.
One of my cats, Wooz, is part Siamese and he has all the Siamese traits. The wonderful almost human yowl, the playfulness, and the dominance factor. He is definitely the alpha cat in the house. The other 3 are females and I tell him he is the protector of the girls! He does a good job keeping them in line. At least he thinks so!
Re: Siamese cats
I also have a Siamese and I had two others that died. Mine were a seal pt. and a blue pt. I notice some of you have children. I do too and they are excellent with kids and take mishandling without hurting them.
They are definately smarter than the average cat. I have had some cats that were dumb. I have had three other domestics. My past two domestics did not even let the kids come close to them. My domestic I have now lets them come close to her.
They are definately intelligent. My current Siamese meowed into my phone. And they also watch what you do and follow me and my husband around. My current Siamese also comes into the bathroom with me when I go in there. They are also good with visitors and learn fast. They also seem to understand English.
Better sign off,
Anne
I'm a bit late! But, yes, they are my cats :)Quote:
