Pros and Cons of Adopting from Siamese Cats Rescueorg

There are many different elements to look before taking in a rescue cat.

Pros

Although kittens are cute and sweet, an older cat is often past that hyper kitten stage and unlikely to climb your curtains or tear up your furniture. Older cats often come to you already declawed and spayed. You'll be rescuing a cat that needs a loving home.

Cons

Rescue cats come from homes that no longer want the cat for a wide variety of reasons. Sometimes these cats come with issues a non-rescue cat won't have. You may have to retrain the cat, and this requires patience and perseverance. Some of these pets have been abused and need time to learn to trust humans again. You also will have limited selection as far as the exact look of the cat and sometimes even the age.

Why a Siamese

Siamese cats are becoming an increasingly popular choice for pet owners. Did you know that these felines were revered by Siam's kings and kept in the palace? They were believed to bring good luck and ward off evil spirits. Siamese were also kept in monasteries for the same reason.

Owners of Siamese find them to have unique and bold personalities. They have a knack for communicating with humans in "meow-ese" that many other breeds simply don't possess. They also seem to crave human companionship and attention, and they bond strongly with their caretakers. Most Siamese enjoy cuddling and like to be close to you. They have a loud meow that is a sure attention getter; just try to ignore a Siamese when she is determined to get your attention and see how far you get!

Although Siamese like a lot of attention, they require little grooming because of their short hair and excellent self-grooming habits. Brush your cat once or twice a week to remove loose hair, and that is typically all that is needed. Siamese also have long life spans and many live close to 20 years. Some even live longer.
