Okay, my cat is a persian/siamese mix (supposedly) She cost $100 from the local pet store, so I guess I should trust them. My question is about their temprament. This dumb thing will stare right at me, and then just knock crap off of my table, or take a swipe at my face for no reason. I've had her for a year. She eats normal, but she always cries and runs in circles before I give her food. She has a clean litterbox as well. And water. I don't know why she's so dumb. I know, pets take after their owners. blah blah, I'm looking for serious answers. Are siamese persians all this stupid, or is my cat just a retard. If so, I'm getting sick of getting gimp animals. My first cat had 2 . inch legs and crossed eyes, my dog is a 26lb chihuahua that eats 1 time per day.

Please do not take offense, but this is probably more a matter of your not being familiar with cat behavior/psychology. Making eye contact and then swiping something off the table is more of a challenge/'hey, pay attention to me' ploy. You may give her attention, but often times it takes a while for you to learn what type of attention she prefers (I learned after 3 years that my siamese mix likes being held over my left shoulder where she can just go limp. She still 'talks' but it is with an underlying purr, so it comes out like a gurgle - go figure!). The swiping at your face is not a cause for concern unless her claws are out, but even then, keep in mind that she could scratch you if she wanted - again, she is more likely looking for attention. Make sure her litterbox versus her food and water are as far apart as possible (if they are too close it causes territorial stress, which causes them to act strangely). Not sure about the crying and running in circles other than she is just excited to be fed. Do not worry, she is not stupid - you may want to try reading a basic book on cat behavior.

No..your cat isn't stupid...she's actually getting your attention! I had a cat that used to do this..especially if I wanted to sleep in..and she wanted me up..one by one things would fly off the dresser until I couldn't take it anymore and got up! Siamese cats crave attention at all times...maybe you don't pay enough attention to her and even though what she is doing gets negative attention...it's at least attention as far as she's concerned. She's not dumb at all..she's very smart actually. She learned that if she does this..you notice her. Not a "gimp" at all...she's a very intellegent cat! Consider yourself lucky to have such an outgoing cat that wants attention rather than one that hides under the bed! Play with her..that's what she wants!

actually, your cat is very smart... smart enough to look adorable in the pet shop so you'd part with a $100 bucks for the privilege of taking her home to take care of her so she can run around in circles as you faithfully lay down her food bowl. Oh, the running around in circles is an ancient siamese ritual to bless the food and rid it of poisons

siamese cats look like little old men and they have a weird way of talking. they like to watch you and have a creepy way of sneaking up on you and they are known to be destructive to get attention. is the cat friendly towards others? did you do something to it, like yell at it? siamese cats think they are people and they can be a little weird. maybe the cat is just reacting to your attitude toward it and the cat just doesn't like you. or, maybe the cat is normal and you're the gimp.

Probably needs love and affection which she did not get from her previous owner,At a young age kittens are meant to be socialised with other kittens and prehandled so they get used to their new owner. Maybe she did not get much socialisation with humans.Siamese Persians are claimed to be superior.

Urghhh....Its extremely difficult to get the scent out...its rancid. even then, you could nonetheless be questioning of it questioning if its completely sparkling, in case you cant locate the money for them on the minute have you ever receive a flat sheet out of your mattress which you will decrease as much as make her a pair of sheets for her cot, in simple terms till you could locate the money for to get her some greater (i be attentive to, they fee a small fortune!!!) to eliminate cat pee from bedding: a million. If the urine is cutting-edge, blot up as lots of it as you could employing paper towels or a sponge. word lots of rigidity to realize the dampness deep down. Stand on the paper towels for greater rigidity if mandatory. in case you own a moist/dry vacuum cleanser extract as lots of the moisture as you could. If the urine has dried proceed to step 2. 2. mixture a answer of fifty% vinegar and 50% water in a jug or different field. Pour a small volume of this answer over the component to cat urine. I used approximately 50mls. Then start up blotting as defined above to take up this answer 3. Sprinkle a good handful of baking soda over the stain. 4. mixture 1 / 4 of a cup of hydrogen peroxide with a teaspoon of dishwashing detergent and drizzle it over the section the place you have sprinkled the baking powder and artwork it in employing your hands (positioned on rubber gloves) or a broom. leave it to artwork for quarter-hour then start up blotting lower back. 5. whilst the mattress is dry vacuum thoroughly. With a mattress this is taken under consideration necessary to make optimistic this is carefully dry. in case you reside in a sunny climate the main suitable theory is to place it out in the solar to dry. in case you're no longer able to do this you will help the drying technique by employing removing it from the mattress and status it on its side in front of a heater or fan. do no longer positioned it back on the mattress till this is carefully dry.
