Question for Siamese/ Oriental shorthair owners

Recently i fell in love with the Siamese and Oriental shorthair breed I want a 4th cat and it has to be one of those 2 breeds I really like the description about their character. Because i want a cat who loves to cuddle
How is your Siamese his/her character?

Siamese are very independant , loyal , sometimes load ... they are dog like

YY would hate to be called dog like but she is, extremely intelligent, vocal - has a large vocabulary (and YY understands both French and English), very independent (there is an old saying - there is no denying a Siamese - I have found that to be be sooo true!!), needs to be with her person - me - all the time or knows where I am, playful - will iniate play (hide and seek for example), very loving and cuddly - has a particular whine to be picked up and hugged like a baby.

That's my Siamese anyway!

She also loves heights!!

Thank you for the answers
I hope i will have my Siamese or Oriental shorthair soon I am on the waitinglist for a kitten and the boyfriend has not said yes yet But he will

MY Siamese Isis was a very independant kitten and wanted nothing to do with anyone and tended to be mean and nasty. As she grew older though her attitude changed and my H*** cat is an Angel. She follows me around the house wanting to cuddle all the time and even plays hide and seek on my bed. That is where I hold up and cover and she hides under them.

My Kittens Mirajuu and Lightning (turkish Angoria mixes) love it also since they can pounce on Isis while she is under the covers. Isis has also done good with the 2 kittens and mothers them (no she is not the mother). Samona My turkish (Mother of Lightning and Mirajuu and GemLady's Aristotle) I gave away to my vets assistant due to her fighting with my show pomeranian.

I will just warn you though a Siamese kitten can be more wild then a normal kitten but they can grow out of it. Isis has learned a few commands and loves it when I speak Japanese.

Simon. Snowshoe Siamese, bottle-fed from 2 1/2 weeks old.

Brilliant. Answers my cell phone, opens the door, takes photos, color-coordinates my clothes, and sets out dinner for me. Be ready for intelligence...it took me by surprise. I'm learning how to teach him more effectively, and he will use the leash without a problem.

LOUD. He has an enormous vocal range, from chirps and coos to growling yowls. his purr is a loud one, too...and he talks all the time. He'll walk around the house, talking to the wall, his toys, me, the dustbunnies, the other cats, the ghosts...whatever. He just talks. I don't think they should be "oriental," they should be "Irish," full of blarney and charm.

Temperament: Extraordinarily playful, loves to snuggle (on his terms), sweet and outgoing. Rarely angry, often teasing and provokes the other cats but just because he wants to play. Definitely likes routine (all cats do; Simon especially), and fairly dominant in his behavior. And he's incredibly gentle with Penguin (a cat I've got with some serious disabilities). He has an enormous respect for her, and they are pals. He'll play at her level with her, rather than thump her around like he does with the others. They bond very strongly with one person, and Simon indeed has done that with me (and I with him).

Activity: climbs, runs, flops, flies, and attacks. He's been known to climb the screen door to see what's on the top (a bug outside), and he thinks it's the height of hilarity to climb to the top of the 9 foot kitty condo, and fly down onto the bed...usually when I'm alseep. High energy, and loves to romp. He'll "invite" (read: smack) any cat who comes near him, just to get them to run so he can chase.

If you're on the waiting list, I'd suggest rather than get a purebred (unless you intend on showing, breeding, or otherwise want to pay that sort of money), looking into the Siamese Rescue closest to you. Often they have kittens who need homes - baby kittens, youngsets, teenagers...and rescuing rather than purchasing means that you've saved a life.

Good luck!!

Best-
Noni
