I have a one year old Linx point siamese mix. From day one, this cat has proved he has a few screws loose. these are merely observations, I'm not really looking for advise, but if someone does have advise, it could be helpful...
When i first got Sano, he used to walk right by my ankles. he had this thing with separation. I couldn't even go to the bathroom without him being with me. Forget showers, I had a little peeping tom! (then after the showers, he would drink the bath water. Mommy soup? eww...) He constantly needed to be held. He was spoiled within a week.
Ok, because he was always a few steps near me constantly, I was always accidentally stepping on his tail. Strangely enough, he didn't seem to mind it. I step on his foot, he yowls. I step on his tail, he looks up at me confused wondering why he can't move. Hubby is convinced he can't feel his tail. it also swishes in ways that a cat's tail should move. it twitches, an not like normal twitches. and when it's not twitching, he's wagging his tail like a dog. hubby is convinced this cat thinks he's a dog. He can fetch too. Again, hubby thinks this fits his arguement.
This cat will chase his own shadow. And then run into walls. haven't figured this one out yet...
Sano like to watch the toilet swirl. then he looks underneath the toilet to try to figure out where the water is going. Strange. One minute, he is showing higher throught processes like this, then he's off chasing his own shadow and running into walls.... my poor kitty is so confused.
He sleeps in the sink....
Forget the $50 kitty condo we bought for him, he would rather play in the box. And toys? just give him the plastic it came in.
You cannot be within ten feet of this cat and have candy. if you do, he will demand that you ball up the wrapper and throw it so he can play with it. Again, why waste money on toys?
Sano is afraid of feathers.
Sano has gotten his head stuck in freezer pizza boxes (he'll fish the empty boxes out of the trash can and try to get in them)
his toes are ticklish.
this is something funny: if he gets scared, his tail will puff up like any cat's tail will, but it is dark with white stripes so when it fluffs up, it looks like he has a racoon tail. AND it takes a half hour to un-puff it (again, we don't think he can feel his tail, so maybe once excited he can't get his tail to calm down).
he has the tale-tell Siamese eyes, the beautiful blue that looks cross-eyed. It's just adds to the level of his appearance of unintelligence.
If it's on the floor, Sano will eat it.
never walk past him with socks or houseshoes on. Shoes or bare feet are fine, but he has this vendetta with socks and houseshoes. and he loves to attack you from under the bed where you can't see him coming.
