5 reasons to love meezers!

There are many good reasons to love a Siamese cat; these five are just a few of them…

1 – Siamese cats are very different and unique.

While many cats are placid, easygoing, and like to sleep a lot, a Siamese is not this type of cat. Siamese cats are strong-willed and intelligent. If a Siamese cat sets its sights on doing something then he/she will do it regardless of the obstacles or consequences.

2 – Siamese cats are extremely intelligent!

Siamese cats are amazingly intelligent but stubborn and that’s why they are very difficult to train. For example, a Siamese may ignore unpleasant experiences such as being squirted with water, which could make it difficult to correct unwanted behavior.

3 – Siamese cats are very “talkative”.

Siamese cats are extremely vocal, with a loud, low-pitched voice—known as “Meezer”, from which they get one of their nicknames—that has been compared to the cries of a human baby, and persistent in demanding attention. A Siamese may also keep howling and yowling for hours if it wants something.

4 – Siamese cats crave company.

If you want a cat because you are out a lot, then getting a Siamese cat may not be your best option. Siamese cats need attention and they will howl or destroy the place if they don’t get it. These cats are needy and they demand your attention. If they don’t get enough attention, they often resort to destructive behavior to take their minds off being alone

5 – Siamese cats are extremely curious (and naughty!).

If you plan to get a Siamese kitten or adult cat, then you MUST cat-proof your home to make sure that your home is safe for the newcomer. A meezer may end up tangled in your electrical wires or climbing up into your shelves.
