Of all the cats that have become human companions, Siamese cats have a reputation for being extraordinarily talkative and interactive.
It may be useful to consider these points if you’re struggling to deal with a Siamese cat.
They may also be useful if you’re considering getting one, just to be a little more prepared for what may lie ahead.
You will definitely need to set time aside for play, and sometimes when you’re just trying to binge-watch a series on Netflix. It’s not recommended that you get a Siamese cat if you like to be left alone yourself.
Sometimes your cat just wants to know you’re there. Simply talking to it will set it at ease and keep it satisfied. So, even while you’re doing your chores, keep a conversation going with your kitty.
So, a Siamese cat is likely going to meow. But there may be a few things you can do if you want to cut down on excessive meowing at least by a little.
Two play sessions a day or more, lasting around 20 minutes each, might condition your cat to expect play at certain times. So it will not bother you to play outside these times, at least theoretically.
If the age factor is in play, consult a vet for a thorough examination. There may be a calming medication that can assist an older cat with anxiety or pain.
