No Vacancy...One on the way!
Ive got a mixed kitty who's got some siamese in him.
He is a handful. I mean every other minute he is getting into something or climbing up something. way opposite of my Mikey.

I too feel ya on your problems. Although my kitten is vocal, I associate his behavior with that not only of a kitten but of a siamese breed.

Lets give it some time.

I hear nothing but boasting about the breed.

Your baby is precious. There is nothing like Siamese, although I may be bias. I can relate to Yosemite. I had to bargain with my husband to get our first Siamese. But now, he will debate with me insisting she is his cat. They have a way with their people. They make you fall hard for them. Enjoy her.

She's adorable, and a real siamese.


As for eating what is on the counter, I learned from experience with my first siamese (Joss) not to leave any food on the counters, at any time, unless I'm in the kitchen. And I also trained him (and now Mily) with a water gun, very efficient and not painful (just wet
)

I have an older (1.5 years old) cat, and he does play rough with Mily, but it's getting better and better with time. When she first got here I never left them alone, and whenever I heard her cry out, or noticed that he was getting excited I would calmly tell him "No, gentle, it's a baby". And now (she's 5 months old) it happens rarely , and she's big enough (and quick enough) to get out of the way.

She loves to play with him, and they sleep together all the time.

Mily is a beautiful girl.

But I must disagree with spraying with water. If water should get in their ears they can get a very serious infection. Please don't spray with water.

Hi again!

Fiona is gorgeous! And no, spaying WON'T stunt their growth. She won't get fat, either, unless she exercises too little and/or eats too much. Those are things YOU can help her with, by seeing to it that she doesn't overeat, and by playing with her (interactive "wand" type toys like Da Bird and Feline Flyer are wonderful ways to share quality time with your furbaby and if you're tired out from work or whatever, you can always sit while SHE does the flying!

You'll love her playful behavior with one of these toys...and she'll never tire of it! My 16+-year-old still has plenty of "kitten" in him when Da Bird comes out...You can get these toys through any "pet" supply store or check out some of the businesses advertising on this site! We love Plain Brown Tabby...

Ah, you just gotta love a Siamese kitten with tons of energy! You should be happy your baby talks to you.

Thank you


She's my baby, and follows me everywehere. We also have very long conversations


As for the water, I don't spray it in the ears of the cat, so there isn't a risk of infections. I aim for the body not the face.

She's amazing! Looks so elegant.

I will try the spray thing then, will be careful about the ears. Just tonight she put a hole in the bag and ate some of the bread! I guess we'll have to get used to not leaving anything outside, it's just hard to remember.

Btw, it's difficult to catch her 'in the act' so do you reckon it works if when I find the eaten bread I take her back to the kitchen, show it to her and then tell her NO? :-/

I still don't agree with spraying water on them and there are some veterans here that agree that one shouldn't spray them with water. It would be better to have something that makes a loud noise to distract them. Even though you may not be aiming for their head/ears, it's always possible that they'll move quickly and you'll get them by accident.

Your siamese is a SEAL point - not a chocolate - chocolate points are pale chocolate color - whereever you got her from called it wrong. Its seal and it will get darker. Chocolates rarely get that dark, especially on a kitten. At that age they barely have color on the points.

My SunLee is a chocolate point. She looks darker than she is, in my signature, but in real life, her tail and paws are so light, that they still are barely coloured. Her body is a very light creme colour.

I like SunLee, but I'm sure as a kitten she had pale points on the face/legs


That kitten is way too dark for a chocolate at that age. It could be a "spoiled" seal and not the proper color either, so the breeder called it "chocolate".

I agree Mithrella's kitten definately looks like a Seal Point. As a baby, she already waaay darker than SunLee is as an adult. I have a Seal Point Shane, who is 9 years old, and he's almost completely dark brown, except on his chest and around his points on his face, and Shane started out looking a lot like Mithrella's kitten.

Here is Shane.

As for the bread (or any food) you will have to catch her in the act, it will mean nothing to her if you show it to her afterward.

You can't even leave dirty dishes on the counter, rince the right away and put then in the dishwasher.

Siamese cats are thieves when food is concerned

Oh no, I really thought the bringing her back into the kitchen and showing her the bread thing would work, I guess she'll just be freaked out by bread now.


Oh I know about them getting dark. A little over a year ago my brother got what they thought was a Siamese, but she ended up having long hair. She's gotten so dark! And she's huge too. Here are some pics of her, kinda crappy, sorry about that. (Taken with a phone and I cut myself out of some.)


That's Duchess shortly after they got her, her hair just kept growing.

Duchess now:



My favourite Fiona pic:


Notice how much darker Fiona is compared to Duchess when she was little, her 'mask' is a LOT bigger.

Seals tend to darken up faster in points and body then some of the other colors. Both Fiona and Dutchess are seal points.

I can see why that is your favorite pic of Fiona. She looks very regal.
