Siameses?

[clarebear]

Are you more creeped out by the traditional Siamese (skinny faces) or the apple heads (normal cat sized faces)? I have a few Siamese cats, one is an apple head very handsome boy Eli, and the other is all black, but 99% Siamese... Chip. Chip is the kind of guy ANYONE would fall in love with! He's the most talkative, smart, animated cats I've ever seen. He's the official greeter to all my new rescues, and makes friends with every animal or person he meets. He loves to play games with me like racing me up the stairs (I tell him he cheats, and he gurgles back at me)! Or hanging on the sisal wrapped beam in the cellar like a squirrel while I tell him he's a GREAT 'QUIRREL!..he rubs side to side and gets really funny. He won my heart years ago. I agree, you have to meet one as they are stunning creations IMO! And can't forget Simon..a rescued feral boy... Does he look scary?

I think I am more creeped out by the traditional Siamese (skinny faces) but I guess I will learn to like them

I have to highly recommend going to a cat show and talking to the Meezer breeders and meet some of them. I grew up with an apple-head Siamese and will never forget her. I love the breed, but right now I love Maine Coons even more .... My Mishi Goon!

I foster Siamese cats.

You apparently haven fallen victim to the Number #1 myth about Siamese.

'Siamese cats are mean.'

When asked why would you think that?

Reason given: Lady & the Tramp

Well, here's the news: it's a cartoon.

Unperpetuating the mean Siamese myth is one of our major efforts at
siameserescue.org

My Snowy, is a big goof. Not a mean bone in his body. And my Bella is a velcro lover cat. Malfi is an angel, he never even struck out at us when we had to debri his wounded leg for 6 weeks, nightly. How it must have hurt him.

I'm sure someone could come up with a story about a mean Siamese, but aren't there a few mean cats of every color. More so, what is happening to these cats that they need to be 'mean'. Are they provoked, abused?

(they can be weird looking critters though)

I KNOW its a cartoon lol I guess its just the thought of them being mean lol.
I just find them a bit creepy but I do love cats and even those breeds, just wondered what they are really like.

The purebred Siamese can have a sinister look with the flat skinny head, that is probably why Disney made it a villian in his movie.

But they are so sweet and have lots of personality. Some say they are more like a dog in personality. Outgoing and vocal.

My Siamese is true to that. He likes to be with people and is so intelligent. If I talk to him he tries to understand what I am saying. He also knows some words. My Tabby never tries to understand what I say. She's just a cat and goes her own way. Cute but I call her my dumb blonde. LOL

Thanks for pointing that out!

No way, actually they are one of my favorite breeds! I used to have one, Luange was her name, although I was young and I never really knew the exact spelling but thats how it sounded, with the n pronounced even.

I love the Old Style Siamese (rounder faces) they are just so chatty and very intelligent. I have a regular feline client who is a lovely old lady of 17 years of age and all she has wrong is arthritic front paws! She greets me at the door and we have a very long chat when I prepare her food and play with her....I would love to have a Siamese....if you please

I think siamese kitties are one of the most friendliest and talkitive kitties!!

I think Siamese are absolutely stunning. I've never met a purebred, but other than the movie I haven't heard anything bad about them. I'd love to get a Siamese X (that still looks like a Siamese ) one day. I've seen crosses at work that still have the coloring and they are just so pretty!

since march 2005, at our shelter we have gotten over 5 purebreds, they all have been really sweet
