Knowing the behavior Siamese, Scottish Fold and Persian Cats

 Common Meanings Of Cat Behavior

A lot of people think that cats work on their own agenda, not paying much attention to their owner – provided they have clean litter, food, and water.  Cats can behave in odd manners at times, which can easily confuse their owners and make it really hard to determine what the cat wants.  As much as cat behavior can be confusing, there are some ways that you can solve common cat behavior mysteries.

A common behavior that almost all cats do is push their heads into any type of object that will allow them to do it.  You’ve probably seen your cat do this before, probably against table legs, TV stands, or another object.  This can be noticed more when you have other people who own animals or those with allergies over at your house.  When a cat notices this, he will rub his head against the person.  In doing so, he will put a touch of saliva on the individual.  In a cat’s mind, he owns what he puts his saliva on.


By putting his saliva on something, that object or person will have a familiar scent.  Although this can be very annoying, you have to understand that other people in your home are seen as odd or weird to your cat.  When a cat does this, he is simply trying to make the visitor belong.  When he brushes up against them and puts his saliva on them, he is trying to put his scent on them – which in his mind will mean that they belong in his territory.

Even though marking someone or something with saliva is beneficial to the cat, saliva is one of the most common forms of pet allergies.  When someone wipes the saliva off of them, the scent will be gone and the cat will go back and attempt to do it again.  Even though it may appear that cats target those with allergies, cats are actually just trying to make the visitor belong at the house.  If the guest simply cannot take the saliva, allow the cat to rub himself on their pants leg a few times.  Normally, this is all takes for a cat to leave the person alone.

Those of you who an indoor cat should expect the cat to spend quite a bit of time lying near windows.  During this time, you may hear your cat make very strange noises or weird movements.  You shouldn’t fear though, as he is simply acting out his hunting instincts.  Whether it’s another cat or object outside moving about, the cat will see it and simply go into his native hunting instinct.

As most already know, cats love to play.  They love to played with, especially with toys.  They will pounce on things on occasion, which should always be expected.  If you try to prevent this type of behavior, your cat will take a very negative approach and you’ll end up with a lot of broken things in your home.  You can always play with your cat using a string, as he will love to chase the string around the room.  

The longer you own your cat, the more odd behavior you’ll see him exhibit.  Cats behave in strange ways, although they always have a reason for behaving the way they do.  If you can understand why your cat behaves like he does, you’ll have no problems keeping him healthy and happy.  If you simply pay attention to your cat and the way he behaves at times – you’ll be able to understand him better than ever before.

Siamese Cats as Pets: Siamese Cat Facts & Information, where to buy, health, diet, lifespan, types, breeding, care and more! The Ultimate Siamese Cat Pet Guide



Siamese cats are robust, with round heads and a truly muscular build.  They are well known throughout the world for their color points and unique personalities.  Unlike other breeds, Siamese breeds have a talent for communicating with people.  If you are looking for a cat that is nice and quiet, you wouldn’t want a Siamese cat.  These cats love to play, love to make noise, and they also happen to be the most social breed of cats out there.

Siamese cats demand a lot of attention, because in their minds, they believe that the world revolves around them.  For this very reason, they can tend be quite dependent on their owners.  They love to play, and crave interaction.  If you leave them alone for too long, they won’t like it.  They like to get attention, love to play, and hate to be left by themselves.


Even though Siamese cats are emotionally high maintenance, they don’t need a lot of maintenance They need a minimum amount of grooming, which involves bathing every once in a while, and brushing maybe once or twice a month.  If you like cats with minimal maintenance, Siamese cats are perfect.  Their hair is short to their skin, so a gentle brushing is all you need.  They can get sick however, which is to be expected with any breed of cat.

According to John Loyd Siamese Cats Owner

I held out a long time from getting Siamese cats because I had heard the same thing. That they’re mean, temperamental, etc. etc. I didn’t want anything to do with one. Eventually, my wife picked out a kitten at the shelter, and it happened to be a pure bred Siamese. I wasn’t too happy about that. Well, as stated above, I now have TWO. I got the second because the first one is one of the sweetest, gentlest, kindest, and most loving and friendly cat I’ve ever had, (not to mention downright show quality beautiful). The six month old is no different. She’s extremely affectionate and loving, and a total doll. I just love having her around. Despite their age difference, they were inseparable friends from the day they met.

The only difference between the two is our first Siamese is painfully shy around those he doesn’t know, and runs and hides until company leaves. He also never shuts up and is a total chatter box. The second loves and adores anyone who comes into the house, but doesn’t make a peep and only meows on very rare occasions. 

I think a lot of the issue with Siamese cats is that they are extremely smart, and they need to be part of the family. Some people who have cats, but aren’t really a cat person, try to treat them like they do other cats and just “have them around the house”. Other cats, when treated like this, become loners and just do their own thing. But this makes a Siamese angry and bitter, and they become quite unpleasant. With ours, we treat them as part of the family, include them in our daily routines, and dose them up regularly with love and affection. I have very quickly become an extreme admirer of Siamese cats.

Persian Cats Behavior

The Persian breed is gentle and sweet, getting along great with everyone – including kids.  They have a pleasant voice that is always good to hear.  Using their voice and their eyes, they can communicate very well with their owners.  They are very playful, yet they don’t require a lot of attention.  They love attention however, and love being admired.  Unlike other cats, they don’t climb and jump much at all.  They aren’t destructive either; they just love being admired and lying around.  A majority of the time, Persian cats love to bask in the sun and show others just how beautiful they truly are.

 There will always be individual personality differences even among cats of the same breed. Some of that personality is undoubtedly genetically influenced, and some develops according to how well the cat was socialized as a kitten.  I am over 60, and have had Persians as part of my family since age 12. I have thus known at least 20 Persians well. 99% of mine have had the placid, gentle, human oriented personality typical of the breed. All of mine were/are friendly and kind to my other animals, and often sleep with my toy dogs! The Persians have little hunting instinct, and thus are affectionate with my guinea pigs- one Persian loves to sneak into the guinea pig cage and curl up to sleep with my long haired pigs! Many of my Persians sleep with me, often on my head, and lick my hair!

I also volunteered at a no kill shelter for 20 years, so altogether, I have known hundreds of cats. I always adopt some mixed breeds, and am careful to choose laid back, cuddly cats. Mixed breeds too can be very people oriented. However, I will say that a well socialized Persian from a knowledgeable breeder is very generally tip tops in terms of gentleness, friendliness, adaptability with other pets, and lack of destructive behavior. I love the breed dearly and feel the Persian personality is very compatible with mine. They are not usually super active and not prone to behaviors like curtain climbing, either.

The Persian Cat (A vet's guide on how to care for your Persian cat)



According to Sophia Winston, Persian Cats owner

Persian cats differ from one to the other. I used to have a pure white one with golden eyes who passed away at 5 years old due to an infection. He didn’t appreciate being held but liked petting. He wasn’t the friendliest of cats but more lovable than anything.

I got another one about a year ago and she’s the most cuddly cat ever. Her fur is different shades of grey and her eyes are a beautiful gold. She follows me around and can be extremely playful when I take her outside or when she sees her toys and extremely lazy when she decides to spend almost all of her day sitting in my lap and climbs on even when I’m using the washroom.

My grandmother is a typical cat lady and owns seven Persian cats. Only one cat likes to stay by herself and the other six are the clingiest and most affectionate cats you’ll ever come across.

Their fur needs taking care of but their long coats are the most majestic thing ever. Their beauty is incomparable and those big eyes looking up at you would make anyone melt in their shoes. If you take care of them and treat them well, you’d become their number one hooman :)


According to Mausam, Persian Cat Owner

In my view, most Persian cats are little dumb. I have owned and have seen people owning persians and they do not come across as a cat with lot of personality. Anyway that may be due to very small size of cats I have seen. On being affectionate- breed, gender, age, looks, everything fails. Every cat is unique and it's relationship with you dictates how loving it would be.

I have seen old stray cats being super cuddly, once given a family and home. I have seen exotic breeds kittens being sold at super high prices quoting as lap cats only to know find out later that they are aloof.

My own Persian cat is loving in terms of having me as his company with ‘Touch me not Policy'. I have owned few mixed breed cats who will make a dog embarrassed with the love they shower on me. Lastly it depends what is your definition of love, is it just about being together, sharing experiences or is it about cuddling, lots of kisses, obvious kind of love. In short the is No, they are not.

The Scottish Fold is a delightful, charming breed. She is a simple feline to live along with and to treatment for. She is actually caring and also is comfy along with all of participants of her family. Her tail should be dealt with gently. Some of these cats are actually recognized to establish rigidity in the tail that can cause ache if it is mishandled or unintentionally taken care of in a harsh manner.

How to Remove and Handle Cat Claw and Scratching

Image
Cats use their claws for a variety of purposes. Claws are important to cats because they are an essential part of balance. If you've ever watched a cat jump and grab onto a tall object, you've probably noticed that it uses its claws to pull itself up. When climbing trees, cats tend to use their claws to hold onto the bark and climb towards their goal.  Cats also use their claws to stretch, walk, and run. Claws are also the cat's primary means of defense against other animals and humans. Most cats keep their claws extremely sharp, as their claws and teeth are basically their only weapons. Claws are also essential for bathroom use, as cats use them to cover their messes with dirt. Cats also use their claws to scratch at things that mark their territory. Their claws have glands that contain a secretion. When they leave their mark on something, the secretion is transferred to the area where they scratched. This is detectable to other cats, but not to humans. Sometimes they will...

Who is Cat Whisperer Jackson Galaxy

Image
The cat whisperer A cat whisperer is generally referred to as someone who is very knowledgeable and skilled in cat behaviours and expressions. In a professional setting, they may be known as a cat behaviourist or therapist because they are good at communicating and working with cats for purposes such as training or pet sitting. A cat whisperer is somewhat similar to the dog whisperer or horse whisperer, although cat whisperers are very good with cats. These types of people are unusually lucky and very successful with cats. In most cases, a cat is abandoned or just shows up on someone's doorstep. In this case, the cat will adopt that person as the cat whisperer. Often, alley cats and black cats will show up at someone's house and decide to move into their home. This may be the result of abandonment, or the cat's family may move away and simply leave the cat behind. Sometimes the cat decides it likes someone else's home better and decides to move there instead of staying ...

How to shop for the best cat food. Top 5 Best Seller Cat Food

Image
Cats know what they like to eat, and many are unwilling to deviate from what they want to eat without coaxing. Many people think this is because cats are difficult, but their selectivity is actually an evolutionary trait that keeps them from eating toxic foods. Simply put, your cat only ate certain foods as a kitten and is now certain that only those foods are safe. You should approach buying cat food the same way you approach breakfast: start with a nutritionally balanced diet. "You need a complete and balanced diet that is appropriate for your cat's life stage," says Bruce Kornreich, DVM, the director of Cornell Feline Health Center in Ithaca, New York. This is why protein type, mouth feel, and the type of food can be so important for adult cats. To make mealtimes easier, try to decipher your own cat's preferences in terms of preferred proteins, preferred food types - and, if your cat eats wet food, mouth feel. Once you know your cat's preferences, you can relia...

6 Facts You Must Know When You Take Hamster as Friendly Playful Pet

Image
As a child, most of us grew up with hamsters or friends who had hamsters. Even our children are fascinated with the small fuzzy creatures. There are many types of hamsters, dwarf, Syrian, Russian, Chinese, and hybrid.  First, hamster is a burrower so they prefer to have lots of bedding to hide under as well as tubes to create little nests in. The most difficult aspect of hamsters is telling if they are female or male and being wrong. Who has bought two hamsters thinking they were the same gender and ending up with ten hamsters? I certainly have. Second, A lot of biologists and geneticists use hamsters and other rodents to show genetic possibilities. In genetics, we often discuss the genome and how genes are dispersed in relation to eye color, hair color, and other traits. When you have hamsters as pets you are seeing this first hand. I had one gold hamster and one white hamster. When they bred I ended up with several color traits from gold, white, black, white and black to many mor...

How to give cats and dogs a pill and supplements?

Image
 Giving Your Cat A Pill Giving a cat a pill can be a nightmare.  No cat wants something shoved down his throat, and he will fight you tooth and nail to prevent it. Although most cats are small in size, you’d be quite amazed with how much power they actually have.  There are ways that you can get your cat to take his pills, which we will cover below. image: hillpets.com The easiest way to give a cat pill is to crush the power into a powdery form by putting it between two spoons.  Once the pill is powder, mix it in with some wet cat food.  Cats that are used to eating dry cat food will see the wet food and think of it as a treat.  They will normally eat it up, unaware that they just took their medicine. If the medicine happens to be in capsule form, all you have to do is pry the capsule apart then sprinkle the medicine on some wet food and serve it to your pet.  If the food also contains the pill or if your pet is sick, chances are he won’t eat it. ...

How to Keep Cats Away from Your Garden and Your Neighbour's Garden

Image
 Keeping Cats Out Of Your Garden Your first line of defense when keeping cats out of your garden is to make sure that you have your boundaries secure.  If there are any gaps in your fence, you should make sure that you block them to prevent any low access.  Cats are very agile animals, and can jump very high.  Normally they can jump a fence, which is why you should also invest in string or taut wire across the top. If a cat has made his way into your garden, it may be hard to get him out.  Most people choose to use dogs, simply because dogs are known to dislike cats. There are several dog breeds out there that completely dislike cats, such as pit bulls and Dobermans.  Cats are completely fearful of these breeds, and will flee if they see them around. All cats are known to despise water as well.  If you spot a cat in your garden, water almost always gets him out.  All it takes is a bucket of water or a well aimed squirt with a garden hose to make h...
