Caring For Your New Siamese cat

So you’ve just gotten home from visiting a Siamese cat breeder and now have a new addition to your family? Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of a highly intelligent breed of cats – the Siamese cat. Siamese cats are one of the most loving cats in the world, even if it looks anything but friendly to the eyes of non-cat lovers. However, cat lovers will tell you that it is impossible not to fall head over heels with this expressive and charming breed of cats. Here are some tips on how to show your new Siamese cat some love after bringing it home.

Firstly, you should ensure proper nutrition is given to your beloved Siamese cat. These cats are not averse to eating veggies but meat is an essential ingredient in their daily diet. Feed your Siamese cat proper food such as dry kibble according to their age, weight and general needs and you will have a healthy, happy kitty in your hands. Cheap pet food is a big no-no, but table scraps and leftover meat or fish is deemed okay to be given as an occasional treat.

When it comes to kitty litter, it is recommended to get scoopable non-clay litter. Clay litter has sodium bentonite a natural clay ingredient that expands into a hard mass when it comes into contact with moisture. Cats will ingest fine sodium bentonite particles when they dig in the clay litter. The particles expand in the lungs and cause asthma and other lung problems. Good litters to choose from include newspaper, corn or wheat based litters.

Lastly, it does not hurt to show plenty of love and affection to your Siamese cat. Here’s to a lasting relationship with your feline friend!
