Siamese Cat Behavior, Facts and Health Care Problem
July 7th, 2008Siamese cats are renowned for their distinct coloring and blue eyes. Its refined coloring and poise appealed to many, and it was at its height of popularity in the 1950s. It is still a well-loved breed today, however, less attention is paid to it today compared to its heyday.
Almost everyone knows what a Siamese looks like as they are renowned. This is partially due to their popularity in the mystery film genre. Many believe it is their curious nature that makes them the perfect choice for a detective’s assistant.
Appearance - The obvious features of the breed are its long oblong body, slim legs, elegant tail, a wedged head, large years and its famous almond blue eyes. The Siamese breed is a shorthaired cat and is available in several different colors and patterns such as Seal Point, Chocolate Point, Blue Point, or Lilac Point. Should there be different coloring, it is actually seen as a totally distinct breed; the Colorpoint Shorthair Breed.
Behavior and Characteristics - The Siamese breed is a loving, playful, affectionate cat and requires owners who are home more often than not to keep them company. Siamese who tend to get into trouble are usually cats who are left too much to their own devices and have nothing interesting to do or they can be thinking of running away.
But if you are busy with your career yet still want a Siamese, an solution could be to have another kitten as well. It will give your Siamese companionship for fun and games and reduce loneliness. But don’t worry; they will both be ready and waiting to greet their owners at the door when they return home.
The Siamese is a very loyal cat to the family and is even willing to try and aid you in household chores or keep you company or even rest by your side as you unwind from a hectic day. Siamese cats are very outgoing and will meet and greet anyone who comes to the door. Elderly people especially enjoy the loving and affectionate nature of this elegant and beautiful breed. A highly intelligent breed, the Siamese can be taught many tricks such as fetch and coming when their name is called.
But bear in mind that Siamese can be slightly melancholy at times and decide not to obey commands at times. In keeping with their playful nature, the Siamese breed are also known for making up their own games. Two of their most favorite playtime antics include hide and go seek as well as plotting, planning and carrying out sneak attacks on unsuspecting friends and family members.
If you love cats that are generous with their love and loyalty is a characteristic that you are looking out for, then the Siamese cat may be what you are looking for.

Donations fund stray cat’s surgery
July 5th, 2008| Erica is going to be looking for a new home after recovering from a leg amputation.
The 1 1/2-year-old stray was brought to the Eau Claire County Humane Association June 22 with a severe leg injury after she was found in the city of Eau Claire, said Lauren Evans, ECCHA executive director. To prevent further injury and infection, her leg was amputated last week. “It was kind of an urgent thing,” said Evans, who said Erica will be put up for adoption after she recovers. “She is a really sweet cat,” Evans said of the feline who likes to be petted and held. Earlier this week, Evans said all but about $25 of the cost of Erica’s surgery had been covered. Anyone wanting to contribute toward the remaining cost can send donations to the shelter’s emergency medical fund to ECCHA, 3900 Old Town Hall Road, Eau Claire, WI 54701. Any additional money will be left in the fund to help other homeless animals, Evans said. |

Independence Day for Cat
July 4th, 2008You can help a cat celebrate Independence Day this week — even give a cat its independence — at both the Maryland SPCA and BARCS.
The two shelters have teamed up to hold “Cats Independence Days” on Saturday, July 5 and Sunday, July 6 — two days when cats can be adopted for the unusually low, and highly patriotic price of $17.76. The offer applies to cats four months of age and older.
“Animal shelters have many more cats in the summer,” explained Aileen Gabbey, Maryland SPCA’s executive director. “We want cats to gain their independence — a loving new home — this weekend.”
“Animals are given up for many reasons, including people moving who are unable to take their pet with them because of landlord restrictions,” said Jennifer Mead-Brause, director of BARCS (Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter). “This is happening more with the number of home foreclosures on the rise.”
As a result, more adult cats are showing up — and adopting an adult cat can have advantages.
“Adult cats have lots of love to give, and they have outgrown some behaviors that can be challenging with kittens,” says Allison Nozemack, the SPCA’s Behavior Manager. “Most adult cats are already litterbox trained, and they are much calmer.”
Cats adopted from both The Maryland SPCA and BARCS include spay/neuter surgery and are up-to-date on vaccinations. BARCS is located at 301 Stockholm Street. Hours for adoptions this Saturday and Sunday are from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Maryland SPCA is located at 3300 Falls Road. Hours for adoptions this weekend are noon to 3:30 p.m.
