I had a traditional seal point siamese for nearly 13 years. She was an adult between 2 and 5 when she first showed up at our home. We called her China-Rose. Though definitely a pure-bred, she was a stray so we had no papers to prove it. (People tend to just drop cats off in my neighborhood - we have 7 because of other people’s irresponsibility.) She had all of the wonderful traits of a siamese - the blue blue blue eyes, angular face and lean, lithe body. She was incredibly smart. She wasn’t a yowler, though she did have a distinct ‘meow’ that we could tell apart from the other cats. She knew her name, came bounding across the yard when called, walked me to the bus stop every morning from 8th through 12th grade. She was usually waiting there (from the safety of under our neighbor’s car) when I returned.
She watched television with us in the evening and, literally EVERY time the neighbor’s kid started pounding on his drums and playing guitar (badly) his the garage across the street, China would run to the front window and stare out at the garage intently, give a long hiss and a cranky little growl before exhaling sharply and turning away.
As she aged, her hearing failed almost entirely, and she developed arthritis. One evening this February, she was acting weirdly all of a sudden, so my mom went in to check on her. (The home office was her Queen-dom and she lorded over it from her purple pillow.) China-Rose went into a stroke as my mom kneeled down to pet her. She knew what was going on and talked China through it. It paralyzed from approximately her ribcage down and we had to China her down the next morning. She was somewhere between 14 and 17 years old.
The point is, though, that Siamese are a wonderful cat to have. They have personality and are demanding of your attention and will be a good companion for someone who will take the time to be a good companion to them.

Hi
I have a problem, we have 2 female cats both de-sexed. One born 2005 the other born 2006.
Our 2005 cat is very quiet and timid and our 2006 cat is also quiet and I guess some what timid. Now our 2006 cat has started fighting with the older one, they have always had play fights but at 5am this morning he turned very nasty. Our younger cat actually full on attacked the older one and put punctures in her tail. We did not know this at the time we thought it was outside, but later in the morning I found a little trail of blood fixed up her tail.Sitting having a coffee thinking all was good (BIG mistake) the older one came out of my bedroom and as soon as the younger one saw her, she attacked again as a result the younger one in her travel cage. After a few hours she was let out and again all seemed good until she saw the older one and it was on for young and old AGAIN. I do not understand why this is happening as they have been together for well over 12mnths now. Any ideas??? We have a vet appointemnt in 1hr just to make sure nothing is wrong with the younger one. I cannot keep the younger one locked up in her cage but I cannot have her attacking the other one either. It’s just so sudden.

Well Siamese Cats love space. They will be quite happy living n a large house, but preferably I would suggest you allow your cat to have a yard as well.

Now just like most cats, Siamese will graze. Soft vitamin enriched food and cat biscuits are fine. But never allow your cat to eat rubbish food like left overs from dinner etc.

Hello Kate
You do have a problem! Sometimes same sex cats will fight for territory and when a new cat is introduced into a home the old cat will feel threatened.

We have the same problem at the moment and we are scalding the new cat each time he fights with our female cat. A spray bottle with water in it works great. Each time the new cat looks like giving the old cat a hard time we give him a spray.

As far as the eating problem. Place the old cats food in a safe place. We have placed her food and water in our bedroom and take her in there and feed her and pet her. Give the old cat heaps of affection.

Also reward the new cat for good behavior. If you can get someone to pickup one of the cats while you hold the other one and sit down together and pet both at the same time. Hope I have been helpful

We have one cat who is 7 months and we just brought a stray home who is about the same age. The new cat is constantly attacking our old cat and we dont know what to do. Our old cat won’t defend himself and we’re affraid he’s going to get hurt. He is also not eating and drinking as much because he always has to watch his back. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Comment on Buying a Maine Coon Kitten by Pauline Powell

Dear Sir/Madam

The lady who is hopefully selling me a male coon kitten has told me that I must keep the kitten inside and provide a fully enclosed covered over yard.

She has told me that Maine coon cats think they are invincible and will happily walk in front of a car or tractor.

I did not plan on covering over my yard but will be keeping him inside 90% of the time. I would just like to know is my breeder’s request normal. She says I cannot purchase a kitten from her unless I fulfill this requirement.

Please advise.

Kind regards

Pauline Powell

I have found the good old fashioned Tabby Cat equal to any breed and better than many. They are friendly, loyal, affectionate and playful. They are also very clean cats and easily trained to fit into house holds with other dogs and cats.
