Learn why a Siamese cat will or will not make a good pet

People from all over the world have been charmed by Siamese cats since the late 1800s. It was then that Siam, or Thailand as it is now known, gave the English ambassador some to take home with him. They started showing up at the English cat show right away and, in the early nineteen hundred, they started seeing them in America.

Some of the reasons for having a Siamese cat as a pet is that he is very affectionate and affectionate, often described as outgoing for showing his feelings and enjoying human company. However, they are often depicted as evil and aggressive, like the two cats in “101 Dalmatians”. This is not entirely wrong, because some of them are very difficult to handle. There are cases in which Siamese cats are so sensitive that they cannot adapt to human company, so they behave aggressively. This would be one of the main disadvantages of owning one of them.

However, these are isolated cases, which lead to a great advantage of having a Siamese cat as a pet, as they need human companionship and are known to often have a strong bond with only one person. They are very playful and active even as adults. In addition, they enjoy the company of other sociable cats but be careful, these loving beings should not be left alone for long. Therefore, they rely on human affection more than other cat breeds, so if you don’t have enough time and attention to offer pets, it is not a good idea to keep a Siamese cat as a pet.

Another problem with Siamese cats is that they tend to be quite loud with a low pitched meow, also called meezer. It is similar to the cry of a human baby and they do it when they want attention. This particular sound is often irritating to some, so be careful before getting one as a pet.

A nice trait is the fact that they are not as active at night as other cats due to their blue eyes, which lack the ability to amplify light and help ordinary cats see in the dark. So you don’t have to worry about your cat breaking the curtains while sleeping, because the cat will most likely sleep next to you.

Siamese cats are truly beautiful yet complex creatures and should not be confused with the common cats that you may see in people’s homes. If you want to own one, these are just some of the advantages and disadvantages that you are likely to encounter when dealing with a Siamese cat. Do some research online or in your area and see if you are prepared to offer a Siamese cat everything it needs. If you can live with the little problems that come with a Siamese pet, you will have one of the best pets you could wish for.
