The Beautiful and Amazing Siamese Cat
I am often asked questions regarding the demeanor of the Siamese Cat. Those who may be contemplating getting a Siamese or had recently acquired one may be concerned about rumors on how the Siamese is relatively mean, pretentious, and peculiar. Let me dismiss these negative tales, Siamese have gotten the wrong publicity due to stories or movies, especially in the film “Lady and the Tramp” from the clip “We are Siamese if you please!” Of course they are beautiful with their mesmerizing blue eyes, head shape, slender body structure, and their sleek striking color contrast. Wouldn’t you be a little conceited if you were that beautiful?
So what is the personality of the Siamese cat like? The Siamese cat is one of the most extroverted and social cats in the world. They are a type of cat that is warm and affectionate and bonds with their human very closely which means that the Siamese is not quite as independent as other cats. Having this close relationship with their human, they prefer and enjoy the inside restrictions of the home with their owners. They are a “people” cat like no other cat for they love to be on your lap, on your bed, at your dinner table, and in your heart!
Besides their gorgeous two-toned coat, another distinctive feature of this breed is that it has a very loud and distinctive low pitch to its voice. The Siamese meow has been compared to the cries of a human baby. The intensity of the vocalization should not be prolonged if you are smart enough to understand what they want. Most of the time the Siamese will talk at conversational levels, and they always have something very important to say. So the Siamese is very talkative.
In the hierarchy of cat intelligence, the Siamese stands on top. It has been indicated that Siamese and other oriental shorthairs are the most intelligent of all domesticated cats. Anyone who has owned one will brag about and the amazing feats that these cats can accomplish. You may want to “cat-proof” your home for a Siamese can learn how to open doors, cabinets, and latches. Actually these cats love the challenge of these feats, and will not give up. They find creative and unusual ways to get into trouble.
Because of their intelligence, Siamese are very lively and entertaining. They can also be very demanding, and can be totally involved in their owner’s life. Siamese do not like to be ignored and always want to be the center of attention. They regard themselves as people instead of cats. One thing for sure, you will never be bored if you own a Siamese cat.

Will a siamese cat get lonely when I go to school?
I want to adopt one of two cats both of which are siamese. I read about siamese cats and it says that they get depressed if they are alone for long periods of time. I am worried if they will get depressed or mad at me because of school?
I'm going to be gone everyday for 10 hours... Will s/he hate me for being gone so much?
I have one 7 year old cat that escapes outdside sometimes even when we don't want her to go outside.
Any type of cat will be bored/lonely if left alone during the day. If you are to leave your cat during the day (like for school, like you said), make sure they have a lot of interesting toys and such to occupy themselves with. This will give them an outlet for their energy so your furniture won't end up occupying that role.
They might be grumpy with you at first, but as long as you spend lots of time with them while home and give them things to play with while away, ideally they should be alright.
Bear in mind, of course, that Siamese are EXTREMELY vocal no matter what, so be prepared for obnoxious meowing. In addition to this, cats can be very expensive to care for well. You need good food, lots of water, lots of toys, love, vet bills, etc.
And as a side note, DO NOT DECLAW! This is the equivalent of lopping off the tip of your finger. It is mutilation, not merely a removal of the nail. They are maimed, and can no longer walk without discomfort or pain.
Just so you know. =P
