Are Siamese cats more frequently sick than other cats? I ask b/c my little Meezer has his 2nd URI in the last month right now. It's frustrating.

They shouldn't be. Does your cat go out? Is he vaccinated? Did he come from a registered breeder?This is kind of an old thread but no matter... Are Siamese cats more frequently sick than other cats? I ask b/c my little Meezer has his 2nd URI in the last month right now. It's frustrating.
Great. Hope it helps. The daily amount they suggest on the package seems a little high to me from what I've read. They say two heaping scoops (the scoop is tiny) per day but that would be 1000 mg. I've read to use 500 mg per day so I just use two level scoops.I just ordered some.
I have no idea why I thought your cat was a girl or stressed.So pretty. My understanding is that the very old breeds do not have congenital health issues (were bred out a long time ago).
What's she stressed about?
Traditionally Siamese are only in seal, blue, chocolate and lilac but in the UK red and cream are both recognised (so torties are as well) as are tabby-points. Uneven points are also common in a pet-quality cat. However the head doesn't look much like any Siamese I've ever seen.Big Perm: FYI red tabby points mean it is not a purebred Siamese. They are called colorpoints when that happens. Meezers only come in four colors and orange tabby is not one of them. I also doubt that is a registered breeder's cat because no good breeder would allow the legs and face to be cream with point colors only on the ears, nose, paws, and tail.
Interesting that they don't say 'Siamese' - in the UK they would, the description your cat has would be for a cat that was from an 'oops' litter for example.According to my friend of 23 years (and his daughter) who I've known since the 4th grade, the cat's pedigree read COLOR POINT SHORT HAIR.
Possibly pet q bred to pet q. Or someone trying for the more traditional type (even if not quite achieving)However the head doesn't look much like any Siamese I've ever seen.
No, that's what breed standards are for, so the cats all look the sameWhen it comes to what a breed is supposed to look like the following rule applies:
Everyone has an opinion.
I agree on the head, but remember Big Perm lives in the United States, so what the UK calls it is irrelevant.Traditionally Siamese are only in seal, blue, chocolate and lilac but in the UK red and cream are both recognised (so torties are as well) as are tabby-points. Uneven points are also common in a pet-quality cat. However the head doesn't look much like any Siamese I've ever seen.
Except it's really, what the rest of the world does vs what the US calls colours so not much of a discussionA thread about the differences among cat registries would be an interesting topic in the Breeding Cats forum
