Saimese Cats are great for the lonely

[Guest guest]

Seriously off topic, but maybe not so badly as this is still about therapy.

It is well l known that having pet can greatly increased your well being and also lower the risks of getting serious physical diseases. Well recenly, near by my house, I kept seeing this really strange spooky looking cat which was always very nervous and would run like hell from me, but eventually I befreinded it. After that I could not believe how friendly and adorable it was where it just seemed to love all the attention I gave it. Anway, I have never known a cat like it, or one so gentle, so I did my research and found out it was a wedge faced siamese cat.

I always thought that siames cats were viscous but apparently they are the opposite. They love being with people and make strong bonds with the families that they are with. And they love children too. They say if you have a siamese cat you should not spend excessive amounts of time away from home because they suffer without human company. And it is also a good idea to get two so that they can keep themselves company when you are not there.

Next year I intend to get two, but my girlfriend is not keen on the idea, she say's they really look strange and spooky. Hmmm! That's what I thought too, but now I am a convert.

Is Siamese cat behavior more dog-like than cat-like? It's often been said that Siamese cats behave more like dogs than cats. I'm not sure this is entirely true - these cats are probably more like other cats than dogs - but among other unusual facts about Siamese cats, it is true that they're remarkably affectionate, intelligent, inquisitive, trainable, and fun-loving, all of which are dog behavior characteristics.Siamese cats are generally good-natured and have a strong need to bond with humans. When raised in a loving household and handled regularly as kittens, they can develop powerful attachments to 'their' families.

This extends to the dogs and other cats that live in their homes, particularly if those other cats are also Siamese.

One aspect of Siamese cat behavior typical of the breed, which is in fact a genetic characteristic, is that they love sitting and riding on your shoulders.

But whether they use you as a climbing frame or not, Siamese cats always enjoy being around their humans.

My own cat loves to sit on top of the kitchen boiler while we're making dinner. This gives him a good vantage point where he can keep an eye on us - and coincidentally, on any little titbits that just might happen to fall on the floor. (This is very typical behavior - they do love their food!)

He takes a close interest in whatever we might be doing around the house – the ironing, the gardening, the shopping (oh, the shopping! He loves investigating all those bags), working on the computer …
