Hello,
We have just been given an 18mth old female Siamese x Himalayan named Mushroom. We took her in as her owners were moving O.S. We only got her yesterday, she was scared at first but is now exploring our unit. She rubs the side of her face over every surface and wants to get into every nook and cranny she can. She was previously very spoilt/smothered and always kept inside. She has not stopped meowing since yesterday. I have had a Siamese before and he was not this bad, and the old owner assures she was not like this either. I'm wondering if she is maybe calling for her old owners? She has not been desexed, but is still about 3mths off heat. I have her booked in on Friday to be desexed but am considering if the meowing doesn't calm down by then, to perhaps give her to someone else that doesn't mind the noise. We live in a unit block and can't really expect everyone else to deal with it. Again we know Siamese talk, but she is just constantly walking around, rubbing her face and meowing. She seems ok with us, but every now and then will freak out and hide. Is she just disoriented and uncomfortable, and will we see a change if we give her a chance to settle in more and what time frame usually would you expect them to settle in?
