Hello. I'm interested in the feeding a Healthy diet. Thank you.
@@IFoundMyNiche5200 I'm planning on doing videos about healthy cat diet.
Your cats are so cute 😍👍🐱
@@vipushanvarathalingam641 Thank you!
Hi, how do you get your cats to swim? My family's siamese cat hates water with a deep and burning passion, but I'm getting a kitten and I'd like to be able to at least clean them with a wet cloth lol
The best video on Siamese cats I’ve ever seen. My Siamese -- deceased nearly ten years now -- lived to be 17, and she and my dog were inseparable companions.
Thank you! Your Siamese had a really good age & nice that she was friends with your dog.
I’m so sorry for your loss😢 losing our pets is the worst
For over ten years you have these siamese cats did they suffers from any disease, my question to you.. ❤️
My Siamese is a lynx point with crossed eyes. She is 17.5 years old. She has mostly been a single cat. I am home with her more than most people.
Siamese Cat is a Boy or a Girl Please
Their blue eyes are so beautiful and amazing😍👍 🐱
Thank you!
Greetings, Rita
@@TravelersGarden_dgdr thank you for replying 👍
I ended up with my first flame point Siamese by chance. I saw his adoption photo and he was white and had these beautiful blue eyes. He was an orphan abandoned by his mother I knew he was mine as as soon I saw the photo. Later on when he went in for his check up and to get natured we found out he was a flame point. He is extremely smart, I make him do tricks (which I taught him) for treats and of course just the good boys. He doesn't scratch my leather furniture and I even think he prefers the scratching post. Hi is turning 3 this year and he has never bitten me, hissed at or growled. I play with him everyday and often I find his toys in my bedroom in the morning.
He has to sleep in my bed, but I would never have it any other way. I love his strange quirky habbits like grooming my stuffed animals and constantly licking his blankets
What is weird is that he really doesn't meow only when he cannot find anyone in the house. Or when he wants his litter box cleaned.
What I love the most from him is the hundreds of daily kisses I get from him...💕
Does he have another Siamese or close related breed as a cat buddy? If not, please get him one. Siamese should never be kept solitary.
Him grooming your stuffed animals & blankets is a sign of a behavioral issue. It is either the first stage of the Pica-Syndrome or he really craves for a cat buddy to groom with. Siamese need & love grooming with other cats.
we got our first siamese cat a few days ago. he is 9 and we drove 100 miles to get him. he is wonderful and we are already madly in love with him. we are seniors and are always home. he is adjusting quickly to our 2 big dogs who are very used to cats. i have a vet appointment for him because he squints. his eyes are blue but it took me a while to see it.i have also heard squinting is normal. he was checked by another vet before he was put up for adoption. he is energetic and eats fine. we have had several cats and have had broken hearts every time we lost one. several lived to 20 years.thank you for your wonderful tutorial. love your cat room!
My mixed Siamese (solid grey, though her head and coat shows what she is) cried until I got another cat for her.
Great that you gave your Siamese Mix a cat buddy! 🙂
My cat don give af and my cat will do yo cats shit
Hi !!
This is Kartik
Can you please tell for how much did you get Siamese cat ?
That is my Archie! We got him a friend after we first got him because he was so lonely being an only cat. They became a bonded pair for 12 years before Benny got sick and passed away. Archie howled for Benny every night until we brought Archie home a siamese mix sister. They are getting along really well and act like big brother and annoying younger sister
I've watched close to 10 videos on looking after Siamese and this is head and shoulders better than the rest. So much information, concise and clear. Thank you!
Thank you very much! Glad that the information in my video was helpful to you.
Hi Rita ... Thank you for another great video! You will always be the person I come to if I ever have any questions about cats! You have an incredible wealth of knowledge, and I am so glad you can share it with so many people. I love the thing you have at 1:57 that both Otani and Yozora can sit on to watch out the window. In the video of your cat room and how you re-did it, I didn't see it close-up enough to really see what it was like. It is really nice, and looks very sturdy. Always love seeing Yozora with her kleenex! lol. Makes me smile every time. Loved the video at the end , with them both basking in the sun. You can see the love between them, and clearly with you. Thank you again!
Hi Melissa, thank you very much! Glad you liked the video.
Ah, that's the window perch at 1:57. Yes, it's holding both very nicely...I'm actually surprised myself...haha.
Haha...yes, Yozora & her kleenex...I think it's especially funny, when she picks up all of them.
I discovered your channel today purely by accident . I was very impressed by your dedication to your cats because I believe that if a person decides to make any animal a pet ; they should be willing to make any sacrifice for the animal's well-being & happiness . Happy New Year !
Thank you very much! Glad you the way I take care of my cats. I hope that with my videos, I will motivate many other cat owners to enrich the life of their cats as much as possible.
Wish you a Happy New Year as well. 😺😺
Best Regards, Rita
I think another very important trait of the Siamese as that they are very vocal-sometimes have to explain to someone on the phone that I haven't left a baby crying but a Siamese cat wants to "speak" on the phone too
Mh...I'm pretty sure, that I mentioned that trait...
THIS IS SO HELPFUL, thank you so much!!!!! I LOVE Siamese cats because of how social they are and how responsive they are to training (I have an animal training background) and how they naturally play fetch, but my youngest Siamese has been displaying some of the behaviors you were mentioning only recently (she just turned a year old), such as being territorial of toys, growling at her older sister, whining a lot, and jumping onto my back to get my attention. I attributed it to her being the youngest and we hadn't spent enough time training her yet, but now I realize we may not be giving her enough exercise either, since it is winter where we live, we haven't been taking them outside on leashes. Thank you so much!! Your kitties are absolutely beautiful. I have a senior Snowshoe Siamese (she's 19!) who has the crossed eyes and curled tail, but my other two younger kitties do not have these traits! I didn't realize that they were rare!
Thank you very much! Glad it was helpful to you.
Yes, lack of exercise & lack of access to the outdoors makes Siamese cats often grumpy (well, frankly that goes for any cat).
Some quicker than others of course. My Blue Point Siamese Yozora wouldn't have minded too much, when she didn't get her walk sometimes, but my white Siamese Otani needs his walks without exception or he goes nuts. A lot of whining, pacing around & he tends to annoy other cats as well. He just has more energy & less patience.
Your Snowshoe has a nice age.
Yes, cross-eyes & the curled tail are rare nowadays...because breeders are breeding them out. (it disqualifies the cat in cat breeding clubs)
Now I have Burmese Cat which has cross-eyes as well...which is even more rare. That breed has even less the possibility of this trait than Siamese.
I have a Snow Shoe Siamese very smart girl.
🙂
I have one too. He will be 9 in May 😻
These two little kitties are so overwhelmingly adorable! :)
Thank you very much! You can find a lot more about them on my channel & there you can also see my 2 new cats. A Burmese & Bengal Cat.
@@TravelersGarden_dgdr You are so kind. :-)
I really do liked red point Siamese cats. When I was a kid a neighbor used to have 2 red point Siamese cats. I just loved their big beautiful blue eyes. They were both brother and sister. They were both afraid of strangers. When I was a kid that I had 2 sweet and friendly American shorthair red tabby cats. They both had green eyes. I did petted a Siamese cat that was a big sweetie. She lost one of her front legs. She had beautiful blue eyes. Even a little ruffle around her neck. She had 4 solid black kittens but, stayed near the front tire of the car in the driveway. I do liked Siamese cats because of their big beautiful blue eyes. I do have blue eyes,too.
I absolutely love this cat breed. I had no idea how complex, intelligent, and strong willed these cats are. This video inspired my adoption of a new born flame point siamese.
The road hasn't been easy. These cats are not merely subordinate background figures in your place of residence. They are very much PRESENT at all times. She's wakes me up at her leisure and makes it her destiny to prevent me from comfortably sleeping longer than she see fit. There's no off switch. I feel like im sharing my space with a whole roommate. But the affection, devotion, and loyalty i get from her actually humbles me and greatly inspires my life!
Does she have a fitting cat buddy to play with?
Really interesting to hear all the differences and similarities in the breed, you have so much knowledge about them and love too. They are so cute and happy - wonderful to see....they love their outings in the bike basket!
Thank you!
Beautiful cats and a lovely video chock full of useful information.
Did I mention I love listening to you?
I wish you rainbows.
Thank you very much! Glad you like how I present the information.
Best Regards, Rita
Love this video! I have a 13 year old flame point siamese and just got another regular siamese kitten. They have their moments of not getting along, but I think once the kitten gets bigger they will be fine. My cats do enjoy playing and my older cat plays fetch. They both let me clip their claws. Such a sweet breed, I am hooked on these babies ♡
Thank you!
If your cats have certain problems with each other, I recommend watching my tutorial about how to have harmony in a multi-cat household. You can find it in my Playlist about Cat Behavior.
And as additional tip: I recommend getting another kitten. Your flame point Siamese is pretty old to be a companion for a kitten. Kittens have way more energy & will annoy older cats. And it won't get better...since the kitten will be full off energy for years & the older cat will get just older, calmer & less energetic.
So, with time it most likely will get worse.
@@TravelersGarden_dgdr Yes, that makes sense about adding another kitten. Thank you!
What a beautiful life, thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
So lovely to see and know more about your cats. :)
🙂
i'm getting a siamese cat later today(along with two other strays from a house nearby) and introducing them to my four other outdoor cats that i've already had for months, and this video helped me figure out what i should do to take care of my siamese. thank you!
Glad my video was helpful for you.
Welcome to your new life with a Siamese, they are simply magic 💫💫💫❣️❣️❣️
@@lolacookie453 someone stole her or let her loose earlier today(idk ehat exactly happened, all i know is that she's not here) and i've been nonstop crying since. i really hope i find her. she's been such a sweetie and a blessing. :(
DoReMiRocker that is terrible I hope you find her and keep her indoors! Blessings your little one is safe!
@@lolacookie453 I FOUND HER LIKE 30 MINUTES AGO ACTUALLY- i have a bunch of outdoor cats and i was going to feed them and she showed up, i'm so relieved
She’s sooo cute!
🙂
Great info! You do such an amazing job with your fur babies 😻😻❤❤
Thank you!
Котики рулят! Прекрасный сюжет. Спасибо. У меня была кошка сиамской породы. Прожила 17 лет в общей сложности и умерла в старости. Оставив после себя исключительно приятные воспоминания. Как о довольно преданном и полезном домашнем животном.

Тайские кошечки- это чудо! У меня такая же! 😁

Our vet, and other vets have told us to only feed our cats dry cat food. Special stuff, made for urinary tract and other organ health, but still dry food.
One of ours is a Flame Point Siamese. She was supposed to be my wife's. However, she has attached herself to me. She loves to play with our Russian Blue. They are about the same age, about three years, and they will run through the house. They are all strictly indoor, but the whole house, except the bedrooms, are all set up for them. Cat towers all over the place.
Dry food is very unhealthy for cats. It's actually the cause of urinary problems & many organ problems like kidney failure or diabetes.
Most vets aren't educated about healthy cat diet, since they barely learn anything about it. Their specialty is something completely different. Dry food companies are also their sponsors & they get money from them. That's why they sell that stuff in their clinic as well to get their cut from it.
I strongly recommend doing your own research about this & never blindly trusting a vet.
Here something that talks about Dry Food: feline-nutrition.org/answers/answers-what-dry-food-does-to-your-cat-s-pee
But there much more out there...
I recommend providing some kind of access to the outdoors, if that isn't done yet. At least a fenced window, balcony, a cat enclosure in the garden or something. All cats need & deserve daily fresh air & direct sunlight.
@@TravelersGarden_dgdr Howard that specializes in cats, and has been doing so for almost 40 years. I kind of have to go by what they say. And where I live, my house situation, I have no way to give access for them to go outside. But they do have a great big window delay in the sunlight. It does have a screen on it, so in the summer, it is open a lot.
Here a vet & a study about Dry Food causing Urinary Problems:
healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2012/02/17/dry-food-wrong-for-cats.aspx
Another study done by vets proved that Dry Food increases the risk of Diabetes.
--> www.veterinarypracticenews.com/study-cats-eating-dry-food-have-increased-risk-for-developing-type-2-diabetes/
And that are just some examples. There are many medical studies done by vets out there. And they provide facts.
Just because a vet is long in the business, doesn't mean he knows everything. And diet isn't their specialty to begin with. So, doing your own research for the sake of your cat's health is important.
Good that they have at least a window, that can be opened completely. You could also go on walks in nature with your cats.
I LOVE your cat room
Thank you! :)
Great i admire the way u train siamese cat
Thank you!
I absolutely adore my Siamese cat. She's about to turn 13. She's getting white hairs on her face but still so beautiful. Raised her from a baby and spoiled her rotten. She had always had an attitude and has beaten up big dogs.
I'm getting a siamese and russian blue, this really helps!
Glad that it helped.
Kazuki did you get both breeds? Im deciding between those two exact breeds!
I recently got a kitten, her name is Freya, both parents are orange and white she's the only white kitten with Carmel stripes on tale and is now starting to show markings like a flame point. All her siblings eyes are turning green but hers are sky blue still! So we will see in time. She is about 10 weeks. I do have 2 senior cats that are 15.. Thank you very much for this video it will help me understand her better and I can make sure she has the best quality of life!💖
Glad my video was helpful for you. :)
Cats are totally adorable but Siameses are the best! I love mine with all my heart!
I agree, Siamese are one of my favorite Cat Breeds as well. But I can recommend Burmese Cats...they are just as special. I got a Burmese Cat recently. He is the sweetest boy.
This is very informative. Thank you
Glad you liked it. :)
LOVE LOVE SIAMESE CATS AND HAVE ONE. HIGHLY INTELLIGENT BREED. VERY VERY LOYAL JUST A BEAUTIFUL ANIMAL. THEY LIVE LONG ALSO MY IS 18YRS.
Thank you My Dear , I love your Catroom
Thank you, glad you liked it.
Your video is amazing thank you so much for posting videos like this for people that have Siamese cats that are just trying to understand them and give them the best life
Thank you very much! Glad you liked it.
Bravo!! Wonderful video!! I love your type of Siamese cats!! I grew up with this type of Siamese! I had a Siamese cat with the blue points! Thank you so much!
Thank you! Glad you liked it. Nice that you grew up with a Blue Point Siamese.
@@TravelersGarden_dgdr He was 15 years old when he 'passed' and he was my best buddy! Mr. Fu was a great cat and I still miss him but I have a sweet 14 year old black cat and this July I adopted a feral mama kitty after she and her kittens were trapped by our local spay and neuter group. All her kittens were socialized then adopted to good homes and Missy mama cat is on her way to becoming a lovely house pet with me! She's a sweetie and has her own room and lookout ledge and play area! Your cat play area is awesome and one of the most fun and very clever! Thank you for your inspiration!
Thank you! Glad you liked my cat adventure playground.
15 years is a nice age for a cat. May I ask, why he passed & what kind of food you fed him?
Great that you adopted a feral mother cat. Here in Germany aren't many feral/street cats, never seen one in person. (But there are some, as I read on animal shelter websites.) Would love to help feral cats as well, but didn't find a rescue group in my area which still needs help. (Meaning there are already enough people helping.)
So much information. My two cats come from India but they have very much the character you describe, especially the male. Both just under 7 kg(not fat just big). Sensitive and chatty. And super intelligent.
Thank you. Your cats are quite big. My male is 5,4 kg & my female 4,6 kg.
You and your cats are adorable
Thank you!
Got a Bengal cat now he's wild crazy had a Siamese cat when I was a kid had her for 17 years both breeds are good animal's
:)
I have 2 cats named yin and yang, one black domestic shorthair/mainecoon mix and a female flame point Siamese, they look so majestic!
That's nice. Though I recommend getting another Siamese or close related breed for your Siamese. Siamese need their own kind, because their character is very unique & not comparable to other breeds.
My 2 year old seal point Siamese went missing last week. I miss him so much!😭😭 He’s such a sweet and affectionate cat. He loves to cuddle and would snuggle with me when I lie down. There’ll be no other cat like him. He’s irreplaceable. I’m heartbroken.. 💔
Sorry to hear, that you lost your Siamese at such a young age. I guess he was an outdoor cat?
Elaine Decimo
Sure hope it finds it's way back to you soon.They're smart cats.
Traveler's Garden - Der Garten der Reisenden
He has been found! Thank God!
He’s an indoor cat. I’ve had him since he was a kitten but sometimes he would try to sneak out. When he does get out, he comes back right away. I guess he got too excited, got lost, and couldn’t find his way back.
Glad to hear that you found your Siamese again.
He seems to crave to go outdoors a lot, since he ran out multiple times already & now even was gone for a week.
I recommend going on walks with him regularly. Then he can go outdoors, but still will be always safe.
diese beiden Katzen haben ein Traum-Zuhause.....solche Videos sollte man angehenden Katzen-Besitzern und vor allem angehenden Siamese-Katzen-Besitzern zeigen .....damit diese daraufhingewiesen werden, was solch eine Katze wirklich braucht.........und nicht nachher zu späten Einsichten kommen, die aber dann den wundervollen Katzen Leid und Elend bringen, weil sie eben nicht artgerecht gehalten wurden, oder Fehler in deren Haltung gemacht wurden, die schwer wieder gut zu machen sind........
Vielen Dank! Freut mich, dass es dir so gefallen hat.
Als Tipp: Auf meinem Kanal gibt's dieses Video (& alle meine anderen Anleitungen) auch immer seperat auf Deutsch.
Viele Grüße, Rita
Thank you for sharing! Lovely way to spend time with my cat, watching your videos. Xo
Thank you! Glad you liked it. What kind of cat do you have?
@@TravelersGarden_dgdr shes a white Siamese, she loves to cuddle with our tabby kitten. They fought for several weeks when i brought her home, but now they're best of friends ❤
Oh, a white Siamese just like my Otani. Glad to hear that both of your cats get along now. 🙂
@@TravelersGarden_dgdr ❤❤❤😾
I raised Siamese for quite a few years and I hated parting with any of my kittens! They are the best breed (in my opinion) and it has been almost 6 yrs since my last fur baby passed away. Miss them all so much. You have 2 beautiful fur babies and seeing them makes me want to adopt a few! I have a Parson Russell Terrier and she was raised with mine, but unsure how she would react to a new addition! 💕🐈💕🐶💕
Thank you! Nice that you owned Siamese Cats. Wish you a lot of success with introducing a new cat to your dog.
Best breed, such wonderful cats
Agreed. They are wonderful.
I have 4 feral Siamese. To get spayed and neutered. They are Beautiful. Would love for them to be adoptable.💖 Your cats are gorgeous!😁💖
Thank you! Great that you help feral cats & I wish you a lot of success with them. Would love to help feral cats as well, but where I live (Germany) I never seen a feral cat. Animal rescue organisations in my area never search for help either, they have enough people working for them. Which is of course a good thing in the end.
Lovey. Two. Siamese. .kitties. .from. Maine
Thank you very much, lovely video 😊
Thank you, Lisa! Glad you liked it. 🙂
Aww The Siamese is cross eyed, thats a cute/funny trait Ive seen lol
Thank you! She is called Yozora. The white is a Siamese as well, he is her brother.
@@TravelersGarden_dgdr I know watched your video, very interesting. Makes want to buy a Siamese.
@@heatherchando5873 Thank you. Please always buy 2 Siamese or a related breed as a cat companion for the Siamese. This breed should never be kept solitary nor with a unfitting cat companion. Very very important.
We have a Flame point, She has the most personality of any cat I have ever known. She even corrals me when it's time for bed, she tries to pick me up like a kitten and gets mad when I check the door too often, yelling at me.
Sounds like a mental problem. Like aggression, frustration, desperation etc.
A cat should never restrict the movements of a human & definitely never bite. If a cat gets mad at what you do, then it's not "cute" or "love"...it means the cat is unhappy with its life.
You should get your Siamese another Siamese to be with...because this breed should never be kept solitary. Otherwise they develop mental problems, because they are very unhappy & suffer.
Plus fix/castrate your Siamese, if not done yet.
@@TravelersGarden_dgdr She lives with the father of her kittens and 2 of the kittens that we kept. She's mostly calm, but you are right, she doesn't like it when we leave for the day and gets anxiety. she gets like that when I'm gone for the day. When I come home, she does not want me to leave her again.
@@allys537 Are all the cats fixed/castrated? If not, that will make her be in stress...plus it will cause her to scream more.
Also playing with a Siamese at least 3 times a day (till tired) & giving access to the outdoors is important. At least a secured balcony...otherwise Siamese aren't happy.
If a Siamese is so extremely anxious, then it's either boredom (not enough physical & mental exercise every day) and/or feeling alone (owner is too long gone). From my experience an owner shouldn't be more gone than 10 hours a day (less is better of course, I'm gone for maximum 7-8 hours 5 days a week)...otherwise Siamese feel sad. And of course an owner should never leave them alone at home for vacation either.
Thank you My Dear
I have an almost 13 yr old traditional blue point siamese who has a kinked tail. My other car is an orange tabby cat named Duke who is also almost 13 yrs old. They're both very playful 🤗
Great that your senior cats are still so playful. 🙂
Beautiful cats a pleasure to watch the commentary was very informative Thank You.
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
Great video
Thank you.
Really nice cats. I love your cat room, great idea. They look really happy.
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
thank you for all the good information
:)
my siamese is dominent and when we got another kitten i thought it would be a problem but he was mostly annoyed with us at first rather then the kitten. He was always careful when they were playing to not hurt it. The kitten was really friendly and stubborn so they bounded quickly. He has more issuse with other people thou x.x which is our fault. We got him when he was really little and he didn't spend much time around other people so he is possesive and fearful of others. When we got him it seemed like he wasn't taken proper care of so that could be another reason for the fearfulness. Doesn't help that other people won't even try after he hisses at them..But he is really loveable and i adore him with all my heart.
Nice that he gets along well with the new kitten.
Yes, it's often that people don't want to do anything with a cat, that denies them.
With my cats I never had the problem with aggression, but with spooking/running away.
They were very scared of strangers & people backed away immediately as well. They felt either guilty or annoyed like they were thinking "I didn't even do anything!".
I had to train my cats a lot to make them more calm & confident around strangers. Nowadays, they don't run away anymore & let strangers even pet them. But it long quite a while to get there.
So, I think there is hope for your cat as well.
Adorable !!
They are so gorgeous
Thank you!
I care for a Feral cat colony and I currently have six cats inside as some of them developed a respiratory infection this winter. I have a tiny tom cat, an even tinier dwarf cat, and a beautiful lynx point siamese. The colony tom is a blue shorthaired and Almost A. Cat's (Allie for short) mother is solid black. Her littermates were 2 solid black and two blues. My question is, how did she get a siamese kitten? Allie looks like a purebred and there are no siamese in the neighborhood. It doesn't really matter, of course, I love her dearly, but my curiosity is killing me. I love your video, your babies are so beautiful.
Well, there are other breeds that can have the same coloring as Siamese. So it's not necessarily that she is Siamese, just because she has a certain coloring.
If she is indeed a Siamese, then a male Siamese simply could've traveled till your neighborhood...e.g. from another village. Not neutered male cats travel very long distances to find a female to mate. Or he was a stray cat & was in general traveling to find food or a new territory. After he was able to mate, he most likely got chased away by other males from your neighborhood. Males are very territorial, especially if intact. Since females can mate with multiple males in one heat cycle, one litter can have kittens from several males...so basically half-siblings.
Anyways, since she is a feral...her being purebred (regardless of breed) is very unlikely. The Siamese Coloring is pretty dominant...so you can take a Siamese & breed it with a regular cat...and there will be some kittens that have the exact coloring of a Siamese. Though sometimes their coloring will look less defined / "clean" colored. (Difficult to describe, but breeders would call that a "mistake" in breeding.)
Their body type, face type, fur type & character would however give more clear indicators of it being purebred or not.
So, my guess is that she is most likely a Siamese Mix or other breed mix that simply has the same coloring as a Siamese.
Breeds with such coloring are e.g.: British Shorthair, Ragdoll, Persian, Cornish Rex, Peterbald & a lot more.
So cute
Thank you!
Nice vid!! When I was a kid our family had 2x seal points - male/female. When I left home to start my career Sasha left with me. They were the best cats ever. Very engaging, intelligent and affectionate. I’d come home from work and she’d greet me to tell me non-stop about her days, mixed with lots of face2face whisker rubs. They’re the best cats ever. Highly recommended!!
Thank you!
Yes, Siamese cats are very special & one of my favorite breeds as well.
A couple of month ago, I got a Burmese Kitten...and they are just like Siamese. :)
So, definitely a breed I would recommend as well, if you want a super affectionate cat.
Hello!
Im sorry to put this all out here like this, and understand if you cant get to this, but you clearly know a lot about Siamese cats and are probably more well informed than my local vets even (they haven't inspired much confidence so far as nothing they've told me to do has seemed to actually help).
I live in an area that was recently hit by a hurricane. I found an abandoned cat that I wasnt sure about, brought her to the vet and she didnt have a chip or a collar so I got her her shots and I took her in. Shes clearly a siamese as the coat and eyes fit perfectly.
I managed to get her to eat and drink but I've been worried about her because I know very little about cats except for the two I grew up with and shes been acting strangely compared to them.
Vet said shes in the starting stages of kidney failure, she has constipation issues, shes very arthritic in her lower back, and she has hyperthyroidism. The cat is likely about 15 years old per the vet. She recently seems to be developing mild incontinence as I've started to notice that she occasionally leave a spot or urine where she sleeps, and I'll be taking her to the vet for that on Monday. Shes clearly depressed as she displays all the signs of it that you mentioned in your video, yowling, using outside the litterbox, very inactive, and occasionally spooks when the air freshener sprays. Seeing as how shes the only cat I currently have and she has all of the problems the vet mentioned it makes sense.
Shes sweet as can be and the most affectionate cat I've ever met save for one. I'm not sure what I need to do to get her back up to speed or if that's even possible.
Vet put her on prescription food and pills for pain and her thyroid.
I'm not sure if any of that is actually working though.
My question for you is this. As old as she is, with all the medical issues she has, is it feasible, and good for her, to try and prolong her life? And if yes what should I do for her?
I've fallen head over heels for this cat but the last thing I want to do is either A. Prolong her life when I shouldn't because shes cute and I want to keep her or B. Put her down to save myself the hassle of dealing with her problems when I could do things to make her a comfortable, happy cat. And unfortunately I dont know enough about cats to make an informed decision on the matter, so I can't help but think I'm being selfish no matter which way I lean. I'm also a college student and pretty close to broke consistently so that's an issue as well.
Would greatly appreciate your insight on the matter.
Very respectfully,
Dez.
Hello Dez,
I can try to help you. Before that, I need following Information:
1. What kind of food do you give her? Dry or wet food? Which brand?
2. Do you play with her every day? If yes, does she play with you or is she lacking motivation?
3. As she access to the outdoors?
4. What kind of Thyroid Values does she have? The thyroid value is called T4 & I need the exact number to know where she is at.
When it comes to Hyperthyroidism, I can tell you that it is possible to cure the sickness with the right diet. I have personal experience with it.
Kidney failure can't be cured, but it can be kept at bay even for years, if the diet is right & the medication.
Arthritis can be kept at bay with natural remedies, so if the case is not too severe, she might not even need pain medication.
I don't have experience with cat incontinence, but did the vet check if it's an infection, meaning not something else? Like an urinary tract infection, kidney or bladder stones etc? Because with those sicknesses cats can have problems with going to the litter box as well.
*As a very important info: Air fresheners are highly toxic for cats. It can make them very sick. Please NEVER use this stuff in a household where cats are living.*
*Long-term effects of exposure to this stuff can include liver or kidney damage, cancer, and nervous system problems (seizures, mental issues etc.). Short-term effects include vomiting, breathing issues, dizziness, and eye/mouth/nose irritation.*
*So, please throw that stuff away, because it's most likely one of the causes of her sicknesses.*
I think the cat can be helped to live a healthier & happier life for quite a while, if you are willing to do changes in her diet etc. Siamese Cats can live up to 20-25 years of age...so 15 years isn't old for a Siamese.
Best Regards, Rita
@@TravelersGarden_dgdr
So glad to hear that! Thank you so much for offering guidance.
1. Dry and Wet food, both Hill's Prescription Diet k/d for cats per the vets instructions.
2. I try to play with her every day, sometimes she engages sometimes she doesn't. Usually she doesn't engage for very long even when I do play with her. I think she doesn't like her toys maybe? I have a toy bird on a string, some cloth mice, and I try balled up paper from time to time. I'm not really sure what other toys there are for cats.
3. She doesn't currently have access to the outdoors as there are many other stray cats about that aren't too friendly with her and all of the fences got blown away by the storm. There's a few parks nearby I could take her to, but I live in a very urban area.
4. I just got a copy of her labs yesterday from the vet and her T4 is at 5.3
There's also something on here called SDMA and that's at 23 and is also flagged as high next to her T4 value.
I also threw out the air-fresheners and replaced them with candles. I didn't know air sprays were bad for cats thanks!
I'll send an email to the email you have listed on your channel with this information as well to better keep track of your instructions.
Very respectfully,
Dez
@@DezrathNLR Hello Dez, I will answer you per email. :)
Fantastic video of cat love.
Thank you!
I have a Seal point, she is 18 years old and still very active, and a Himalayan and he is 8 years old. They have been together for about 6 years now. Rachelle the Seal Point and Harvey the Himalayan. Bring in Harvey was the best thing for Rachie. He is a pest to her at times but it keeps her active. They play but Harvey will always get too rowdy. Rachie is clearly the boss even though she is smaller than Harvey.
If your younger cat is too rowdy while playing, I recommend playing with him daily a lot more. He still will play with your other cat, but he won't be so intense anymore. It's good that he keeps her active, but if he actually upset her (she starts hissing, growling, whipping her tail, running away to avoid him etc.) then I don't think it's good.
Damn loving your cat room..
Thank you! :)
I love Siamese 💛🧡💛
😺😺
1 what a pretty kitty
Thank you!
I love how these blue eyes reflect red. I have a Siamese, he lost one of his eyes to an infection at birth.
Thank you!
Sorry to hear that your Siamese has lost one eye.
i have adopted a homeless siames 2 days after he was sick i took him to the vet now he's ok playing from time to time but it's rarely where he come to me all that he do is eating and sleeping and playing from time to time
Did you do a big blood test? With kidney, liver, thyroid values?
What kind of sickness did he have?
It's very unusual to be so "lazy" for a Siamese...I think there is still something wrong with him. Either he is still sick or depressed.
Reasons for depression are:
- Being Solitary...meaning he doesn't have a fitting cat buddy to be with
- His food has no variety, so is very boring (dry food...plus always the same type of meat etc.)
- The games offered have no variety, so are boring
- He needs to have access to the outdoors.
Does any of this fit to his situation?
@@TravelersGarden_dgdr no i didn't do a blood test he had a fever the vet said he got a infection now he's still under treatment but he keeps playing with my little sister i think he is doing good now
maybe i will adopt another homeless cat to give him company
You should do a blood test, since you don't know anything about this cat. He could have kidney, liver or thyroid problems or something else as well...even if he doesn't show symptoms yet.
The other cat should be a Siamese or close related breed. Any random cat won't do it...Siamese are very special in character.
Такие милашка спасибо за видео
:)
Wow ur Cross Eyed Cat is very Beautiful animal. i wish her or him many more yers to live healthyness and fun with u.
Thank you very much! Glad you liked Yozora so much. I hope she will stay with me many more years as well. She is already 10 years old.
I have two Siamese cats and I’ve had them for around 4 years and one lost his eye recently due to a infection but he is still a cute cuddly boy! And my other cat still has both his eyes but he is also just as cute and cuddly!
Nice that you 2 Siamese Cats. Sorry to hear about the lost eye. What kind of infection did the cat have?
Traveler's Garden - Der Garten der Reisenden not sure exactly but we know we got a scratch on his eye but by what we don’t know but his eye was so red and swollen and he was just miserable but as soon as he got his eye out he felt a lot better but he is still recovering
@@5nightsatfreddys486 Maybe it was the other Siamese? If they do fight sometimes, then something like that can happen accidentally.
Yes, I agree, if his eye was damaged too much, then it had to be taken out. It's unfortunate but necessary. Glad that he feels better now.
Traveler's Garden - Der Garten der Reisenden I wouldn’t think it would be the other cat because when they fight it’s usually just a tap on the head as a warning it’s never been so violent and we do let the cats outside without permission so it could have been another animal that hurt him
@@5nightsatfreddys486 Ah, yes...when he is an outdoor cat then there are many possibilities.
Your cats are very beautiful! I need to get another Siamese cat for my Siamese to play with. He likes to play and interact with his brother (his brother not so much). He’s pretty much like a typical cat and likes to do his own thing (what you’d expect from a cat). He snaps and hisses at him when he’s being too playful. I feel bad for my Siamese as he just wants to play. He’s a very nice, affectionate, and social cat. He gets along with my two dogs too and sometimes sleeps with them - an overall great cat, in terms of behavior and personality traits (opposite of what you’d expect from a cat).
Thank you!
Yes, I think your Siamese needs another play-buddy. A high-energy Siamese or similar breed would be best. I recommend getting a male...a female wouldn't fit well.
Except you get a female from a breed, that is significantly higher-energy than Siamese. E.g. Bengal or Savannah. The females of those breeds play just like male cats from other breeds....they love wrestling & wild chasing.
Recently I got 2 new kittens (Burmese Male & Bengal Female) & they get along very well with my Siamese. My Bengal can keep up with the boys without any problems.
Haha...well, I guess there are a lot of bad "rumors" about cats. In my experience cats only behave badly, when they are unhappy. If they are happy, they will be sweet, playful & overall great family members.
I have a Siamese cat she's all black with a diamond in the front of her neck she's very beautiful she's my little princess Livey & a ginger cat named Ginger girl & boy kitties thanks for you blog very helpful & informative💜💜💜💜💜🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵😺😺👥💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you! Glad you liked it.I guess she is a Siamese Mix, since purebred Siamese are never all black. Or you have a Oriental Shorthair.
AII just found your channel. Boy am I in need of your help. I have always had Siamese and in the last 3 years I lost my two babies to kidney disease. I did not know about the dry food causing it. What component of dry food causes it?
Anyway, my main question today is about the gorgeous huge male Siamese I adopted from a shelter. He’s 14 years old and weighs more than 14 pounds. I’ve had him for almost 7 months and he refuses to allow me to touch him. I have been working with him.and it is getting better but I worry he’ll never come to me. He just started to play more with the toys I have for him. He loves the sparkle balls but stops when I try to show him I can toss them for him...i.e. fetch.
I only heard his voice two times in the early beginning and it was not Siamese . This really bothers me. Since then he has only hissed at various times. And I’m working with him to do it just once and I will back away.
All along I’ve let him know what I am up to...although a rescue neighbor said t ignore him and he’ll eventually come around. My last two I had 18.5 years and 21 plus one month. They were one month apart and were great friends but would fight at times. The second one was a little jealous of the other.
But now I’m older and it is difficult for me to get down on the floor. I’m trying not to be above him as JG says that is threatening to them. I’m trying a treat of freeze dried organic chicken livers. I also have down find the goodies and did three times with me on the floor and putting little treats around me. They are so clever it’s hard to get him to be. So close again.
My email is mystic janet, if you are still able and want to make suggestions. My vet gave me a med to calm him down so I can take him in but he figured it out right away and now that option is out. Blessings and Love to you and your two babes! Janet
Hello Janet,
Dry food causes kidney failure, because it doesn't have enough moisture & cats don't drink much naturally. (They are very different than dogs in that matter e.g.). So cats are in a constant dehydrated state, which damaged the kidneys over time.
Wet food is always the better option, of course it should be high-quality. Or even better, a raw diet...but this demands research & more work to do.
Is he overweight or normal weight? For a Siamese he quite heavy, I think. (But the vet surely can tell you, if there is something wrong.)
Since he is so old & it is unknown what kind of life he was living before getting adopted by you, I suspect that he is sick & that's why he is aggressive. The first thing that comes to my mind is: Arthritis. Cats react with aggression, if touched, if they have this sickness. So, a vet should check this carefully.
Also: When was the last time he got a big blood test, meaning: kidney, liver, thyroid values etc. If it was done a year ago or so, how was the result?
Also: Teeth problems. Are his teeth white & his gums softly pink? Or are his teeth yellow, have plaque (especially in the back) & his gums red around the teeth? Siamese are highly prone to teeth problems, also a sickness called FORL. (Diagnosis can only be done x-ray of the teeth & gums. Looking at the teeth doesn't confirm or rule out this sickness.) FORL is a sickness, that slowly makes holes in the teeth or teeth roots. It is extremely painful for the cat.
If that is taken care of or ruled out, then there is the training:
- Feed him from your hand or if not yet possible, from a big spoon. No free-feeding! (So, no food available all day.) Use wet food as treats. Not dry food, no treat sticks or any other dry stuff. So dried chicken livers isn't a good option. Plus there is a lot of Vitamin A in it, if he eats it every day, he can get Vitamin A-poisoning. *Liver is never a good treat.*
Treats needs to be juicy to have effect on a scared/unsure cat. Also cooked meat like chicken hearts are good.
Training always before feeding time. He needs to be hungry.
- Don't use balls or any other toys that you need to throw to play with him (at least not now). it is too invasive, since you need to reach towards him/the toy next to him while doing so. Use feather sticks.
- Don't touch him with your hand yet. But use a (soft) brush to touch & brush him. I have tutorial on how to get a cat used to brushing in a gentle & positive way (I use a harder brush in the tutorial, since my cats like it, but for your special case, use only a soft brush.). If he trusts the brush, you can starts getting him used to touch by hand.
- Enrich his environment with cat trees, a cat walk/shelves, tunnels etc. Just like I show in the video. (My cat room)
- Give him some sort of access to the outdoors. So at least: Fenced window which can be opened completely & safely, a balcony with a cat net, a cat enclosure in the garden etc. Cats need daily access to the outdoors to be well-balanced & happy.
- Search for a cat companion for him. An older Siamese with the same temperament as him. (So, if he is calm, get a calm Siamese as a companion etc.). Being solitary can make Siamese aggressive, grumpy etc. Maybe he was already so aggressive because of being kept solitary & that's why he was given into the shelter.
Of course you need to introduce both cats safely & correctly. (I have a tutorial about that topic.)
Maybe the other cat will show him, that you can be trusted, when he sees her/him being close to you. So, the cat companion needs to be friendly towards you.
Another option would be: 2 Siamese kittens as companions. He could learn from them. But it has to be 2 kittens, never 1. Then both kittens can play with each other & won't annoy the older one with playing all the time.
I think that's most of it, what I can think of for now.
Best Regards, Rita
I rescued an 8 year old Siamese who doesn't allow me to touch her either. I've had her since February, she won't let me near her. I've only heard her start meowing a little bit more now that I didn't hear her meow at all for the first 5 months. It's random in it late at night when she does. She's only 5 lb oh, they said she was a runt and that they believe she is autistic if that's even possible for a cat but you can tell by her eyes that there is something amiss. They're constantly dilated. I tried to change her diet to a better organic food with no grains but she won't eat it she only will eat what they've been feeding her all these years. I wouldn't even be able to take her to the vet because she won't let me touch her , I know she needs her nails clipped. I don't even know what her teeth are like. I have laid down on the floor trying to get her to come to me, she will sit and look at me but as soon as I put my hand to close she takes off. The family that had her originally gave her up because the first Siamese cat was old and passed away and she started being aggressive toward the third Siamese cat, so they gave her up. The other option was to put her down and when I found that out I took her. I have just decided that she has a good place to live and is still alive , so I'm just her caretaker LOL
Dena Collinge Our stories are so similar . I do think the key is to ignore them...they’ll do it on their own time. I love Siamese, it’s the only type I’ve had for a long time. I’m 70 now and Bandit is my eighth one. They would all play as kittens but when adults it’s just a very short time.
My guy is big 21 inches long...I measured by where he sits on my chest in the bedroom window. The hx with mine was the owner got sick and couldn’t take care of him anymore. I still not believing it because there is little interaction although I’ve taught him words like dinner, and am going out for a walk. Now as he plays with the balls I call them toys and sparkle balls. My other Siamese through the ages would retrieve them and my last one before bandit would go get the toy and droop it by my feet when she wanted to play.
Siamese I had heard were one person only but I found that mine loved company.(..I’ve rarely lived with anyone). I did get one at six months and it wasn’t a problem.
It’s nice you can see yourself as her caretaker as I’m getting there also. I do love him as he is so accommodating . But he was forced into it from the original owner. Not even meowing at all. My meezers would hack at night sometimes and I just feel it’s getting the sound to know where objects were or other people in my building had cats and so they were talking,
I wonder if your previous owner did realize she just wanted to play. I noticed on the rescue place that mine was considered that because he would roll over on his back and and fight with his back feet. That’s how they play. And even sweet pea I’d tell her to roll over and I would drag her over the rough feeling cement so she could get her back scratched. I ended up also teaching her to jump on the stool when she wanted a brushing.
I’m just hoping mine comes around but from day 1 he’s had one eye open at all times; today I watched him sleep for the first time and when he did awake I just said hi. If you want to compare stories on and off please email gmail. Thanks for commenting.
Dena Collinge I used to cut my cats nails but Ian finding with bandit I got him a very tall scratching post and the nails will fall off if they have that available. I had to cut mine because they would catch and snag sweaters or get catch on a fabric. Bandit rarely jumps up on anything; just the bed and the couch.
I think one of my problems maybe I’m the wrong sex. I think his energy was male or a little boy and the mother or wife would yell at the cat all day.
I wish people would find out about the animal they’re adopting.
What country are you in? I’m in the US
Blessings to you and Ms. Siamese MJ
Thanks for sharing this video ❤️
Glad you liked it. :)
I adopted a cat my friend found as a stray when she (my cat) was 4 weeks old. We don't know what the parent cats were but I get asked if she's Siamese by people who've owned Siamese cats themselves because of her striking blue eyes and insane behavior and meowing. I'm honestly thinking I somehow ended up with a half Siamese cat without intending too....
I want to DNA test her out of curiosity, though I've had here for about 3 years now so I'm used to dealing with her shenanigans and won't bother with training or anything like that. She LOVES cuddling with my tiny multipoo dog and plays with my older cat (also originally a stray that I adopted from a local shelter - he's probably just your average domestic short-hair. Lol). My possible half-Siamese definitely has jealousy issues about my dog and vise versa - they don't bother each other about it, so I find it rather cute. I'm not fond of my cat breaking everything and anything she can get close too in order to get my attention when she's in a bad mood though...
Well, if a Siamese breaks stuff, meows a lot, shows jealousy, has a bad mood or "insane" behavior. it means that it is unhappy & bored with its life.
You should make changes in her life.
"Insane" behavior isn't their character, that's their way to show that they need more in their life. It's not about training or forcing rules onto the cat. It's about giving them a fulfilling life.
As your Siamese is without a fitting cat friend, meaning has no other Siamese or close related breed as a friend, I recommend changing that. Regular cats & dogs are *not* a substitute for their own kind. They can be friends with everybody, but that doesn't mean they get fulfilled with those relationships alone. They need their own kind.
This info & a lot more you will find in this video, on how to give Siamese a fulfilling life.
How much do they shed? Honestly?
Not much. Since they have barely any undercoat.
Wow,this a good video
🙂
I have two they are beautiful

I was going to get a cockapoo but I already have 2 dogs so I might get a Siamese cat and i can get one sooner so thank u for making this video
I hope you're planning on getting another cat as a companion for the Siamese, if you don't have one at home already. Siamese Cats should never be kept without a cat companion & it should be a fitting companion as well. So another Siamese or related breed. (As I explain in the video.)
Dogs aren't a substitute for a cat companion for a Siamese. Dogs are a completely different species with completely different behavior & social rituals.
I have a caralina blue siamese I was thinking of getting a harness and leash angel is very active and talkative he always sleeps by my head at night
Nice that you want to walk your Siamese. I recommend looking into my tutorials about how to walk cats & what mistakes to avoid. Also I talk about the right harness & leash for cats.
You can find everything in my playlist about walking & traveling with cats.
My kitty might be a bit depressed he's a 3rd generation black longhaired siamutt but he's kind of cranky and lazy like that. He's social in that he likes to be involved and near people but he doesn't actually like cuddles and attention that much they make him grumpy sometimes unless you pet him in certain ways then he bites at you to get you to stop. With food we give him mostly poultry and fish flavored foods cause he prefers the flavor he's not a fan of much else although my folks probably don't give him the greatest food ever and he's an indoor outdoor cat. He's pretty active on his own he likes to go explore and hunt for squirrels in particular but he also kinda only lazes and lays around when he's actually home. He also likes to get himself second hand high off my folks's smoke. And recently appearently spray paint fumes too. He's an odd duck. 😛 However, I still really love that wierdo. 😊
Mh...he being so often grumpy is quite a sign that something is bothering him. Maybe he is even sick? Like teeth problems. Siamese cats are very prone to have teeth problems even since early age. Research about the sickness "FORL".
That he goes outside is good. But it seems he has no cat friend...not that you mentioned it anyway.
I would't let him near cigarettes though, cats are more sensitive to that stuff. I hear it quite often that cats, which live in a household with smokers die from lung-cancer. Cats have a lot higher risk to get that, than the actual smokers. I also would not let him near spray fumes, it might be toxic in some way.
If you want him to enjoy something without risk, then buy him a toy with Valerian in it. Cats LOVE that & its risk-free.
Nice to hear, that you love your cat.
Nice job!
I’ve had a Siamese cat before and they are so good! Although my Siamese cat didn’t have another cat companion it went outside every single day and he always did fine with me. I’m thinking about getting a Siamese cat again, but I have two dogs one is a miniature poodle who is 14 years old and the other is an Cairn Terrier that is 18 months old and is very energetic and playful. Do you think I’d need to get another cat along with my Siamese or do you think that it will just be fine playing and cuddling with the dogs? Thank you!
Siamese need other Siamese or similar cat breed as a companion. Cats communicate completely different than dogs & have other needs. Like long grooming sessions with each other...dogs don't have this behavior. Another species (dog, human or any other) can never fill the void of a cat companion. Just like a cat or dog can never fill the void of having a human companion/interactions for us humans.
When a cat is an outdoor cat, meaning it can go outside whenever it wants & can meet other cats, it's not so severe, if it doesn't have a cat companion at home...but it's still not ideal. (Since regular cats are still quite different than Siamese & often don't get along so well.)
It is very often, that people simply never experienced what a huge difference it makes when having 2 Siamese or just 1 Siamese being solitary. That's why it's hard for them to believe that it's a big deal. But if you experienced it once...having 2 cats being so affectionate & in-tune with each other, than you never will keep a Siamese solitary ever again. Just watch my 2 Siamese on my channel...especially how they are with each other while being outside on walks or any other outdoor activity. Such a bond is absolutely unique. And I wish that every Siamese has a chance to have something like that.
Jocelynn Seaton Siamesealways do better if the have a bonded buddy especially if you work. They love humans first but will put up with their mate if the human isn’t home.
@@anneschantl8929 Well, I wouldn't say that they only "put up" with their mate, when the human is gone. Siamese love being social other (nice) cats. And they get very sad & depressed, when they loose their mate....even if the human is at home all day. I say that, because recently my Blue Point Siamese died of cancer & her brother was devastated. He screamed non-stop for days (he screamed so much, he needed to take antibiotics for his throat, because it was so inflamed!), didn't wanted to play & even started to refuse to eat. He was on the way of literally dying. And I was home all the time, because I wasn't able to work after this loss. But my companionship didn't help him much, he was absolutely hysterical. Even though he is extremely bonded to me...he just couldn't live without cat companionship...not even for a couple of days.
So, I got him quickly a new cat buddy (a Burmese Kitten) & after 3 to 4 days they became friends & my Siamese calmed down again. He has now also another cat buddy (Bengal Kitten) & he gets along with her as well. All 3 cuddle with each other etc...regardless if I'm home or not...they just need each other. Usually they all cuddle, while laying next to me or on my lap.
So, in my experience Siamese Cats need & love cat companionship...they not only use that as a substitute for their owner.
Traveler's Garden - Der Garten der Reisenden you are right and maybe my girl was so strongly attached to me only because she was a rescue and had been abused. She did play with our Burmese but I was the centre of her world.
@@anneschantl8929 Her difficult life could've made her more distant towards cats. Maybe she was taken away way too early from her cat mom & then was kept solitary or came from an household were she got bullied from other cats or similar.
All of that can make a cat anti-social. Usually they are able to get better again, but they sometimes never truly recover, if it was just too much time in the bad situation.
If she really only played with the Burmese, but nothing else...then it's very unusual for a Siamese. Siamese *love* to cuddle & groom with other cats...multiple times a day. They form very deep friendships with their cat buddies...but that doesn't mean that they are less bonded to their human. Their human is definitely the center of their world & they can't live without them for 1 day...but they also feel the same towards their cat buddies.
Love babies

Are you using a Gopro to shoot these??
No, that's a Sony Action-Cam & a Camera from Panasonic (Lumix).
I have ended up in a flat with my Chocolate Point Siamese Boy called Theo. His friend a male (they both stayed at my partner's place till she died) Seal Point cat. He died a week after my partner died. The problem is should I get a rescue Siamese Male/ Female for company for him as Theo (The Thug) cat seems depressed and does sleep a lot and partially plays. He does go outside but beats up neighbourhood cats hence I call him Thuggles. Would he get on with another strange Siamese stranger?
I would get him another Siamese, when he is feeling lonely. Not sure if the best would be a male of female. It depends who he beats up outdoors. If he beats up males, then I would get him a female & vise versa.
And it should be a younger cat than him & they should be introduced very slowly & carefully. (i have a video about how to do that without risking a fight & reducing stress as much as possible.)
I found a one eyed Siamese kitten..pure bred..?? I give her toys and attention... one day on my lap suddenly made a horrible cry
and while jumping off made 2 huge bloody scratches on my arm..ran to my closet and would not come out kept acting like she doesn't know me and scream hissing at me..what happened???
Well, something triggered it. Maybe something came suddenly into her vision on the side of her blind eye & she spooked from it. Your hand e.g. or somebody entered the room or she saw something out of a window (another cat?) & she spooked.
How old is it & do you have other cats in your home? If yes, do they get along?
Yes I have a question, about nutrition that I have to consider, so it won't get these sides effects... Thanks to provide us your experience.. 👍🏻❤️
Raw diet is the best for cats. But you need proper recipes for that. I use the Frankenprey Plus method, so the recipes from that.
ijsnjids i want a siamese ;0 they are soo beautiful
Thank you! As a tip: Siamese need another cat as a companion, so it's the best to get always 2 Siamese at once (from same litter e.g.) or a similar breed as a companion that fits with the character. (e.g. Oriental Shorthair, Balinese, Peterbald)
I have a siamese & she loves to harass my Norwegian Baby& spar with a big old loving yellow tabby named Bunny. She also insists on giving them both baths constantly.
I recommend getting another Siamese or similar breed to be her friend. I don't think it's ideal, that she has the need to harass your other cats. Siamese are way too cuddly compared to many other cat breeds & regular cats.
If she has somebody, who is just like her, she will be a lot happier & your other cats can live more peacefully.
@@TravelersGarden_dgdr I guess I used the wrong word in "harass", the other 2 initiates the mayhem a lot of the times. It's fun to watch 3 different breeds associate,play, and nap together. But yes my siamese has ENERGY!
I have i russia blue siamese kitten and he likes to be petted 24/7 im petting him right now he is demanding about pets
:)
Hi! What kind of food/treats do you use for training? :)
I use mostly high quality wet food (no grain, no sugar, 60-70% meat) or cooked chicken hearts.
Sometimes I also use cheese (only sometimes because of the salt in it). 🙂
I have a question- is it required to have a second Siamese with your cat? I am considering getting a Siamese and would be able to attend to it frequently on a daily basis so it would not be alone for any considerable stretch of time. Thank you for the great video!
Thank you! Yes, it is a absolute must, just like I explained in the video. A human cannot fill the void of a cat buddy, regardless how much time you spend with the cat...since you aren't a cat. You can't play like a cat, can't communicate like a cat, groom like a cat etc.
Just observe 2 cats, which are friends & you will understand, that you can't provide such a relationship. Social animals need their own species, just like with dogs, horses etc. And just like humans need humans.
And just like I said in the video, if a Siamese doesn't have a cat buddy (one that fits with character etc.), then it will get behavioral issues (either aggressive/destructive/anxious or depressed/losing interest in life/gets sick).
Solitary cats also become anti-social & forget how to communicate with their own species...it's a really sad thing to witness. That goes for any cat btw...not just the Siamese.
Just get 2 Siamese kittens from the same litter. 2 kittens are 2 times more fun for you too, especially seeing them interact & play with each other is sweetest thing. And don't worry, they will be still extremely affectionate towards you...so you won't be missing out at all...on the contrary, you will get so much more. 😉
@@TravelersGarden_dgdr the same breed of cat or two of the same species?
@@irreligiousidiot3541 A Siamese needs a cat friend that fits with the character & since Siamese have a very special character, not just any cat will fit to them. Just like I explained in the video in detail.
Those kind of breeds fit to Siamese Cats: Siamese & Thai Cat, Balinese, Oriental Shorthair, Oriental Longhair & Peterbald.
