Some cats just aren't very social. I have 4 cats and 3 of them want nothing to do with anyone. They just keep to themselves and rarely will they let us be affectionate towards them.
I have another one though and she craves attention anytime she can get it. She likes to sleep with us and rub on us. She's so sweet.
It's just your cat's personality, it's nothing personal.

Cats are very independent creatures by nature and sometimes as they grow into adulthood, they just become more and more detached and independent.
If your kitty likes affection and petting, then why not carve 10-15 min out of your day to just give affection. You can do it while sitting on the couch watching TV or just hanging out at home. After a while she'll start to realize that you being there means she'll get attention and will probably start coming back around.
My Siamese mix is kind of the same way. She's not a lap cat anymore, but when I am home she likes to be in the same room as me and when I'm sitting down reading or watching TV she comes and sits next to me to be petted. Also, she doesn't snuggle up with me at night anymore, but she does have a spot at the end of the bed that's hers.

Siamese cats tend to be a bit more aloof as a breed anyway. Your baby luved on you 'cuz you were her mamma, and she was getting nurturing and safety from you. Now she's big enough (she thinks) to take care of herself. If she's in her kitty teens, she's probably just being a typical teenager. If she's older, perhaps like another poster said you might spend some deliberate time with her, going to where she is and giving her luvins and attention rather than expecting her to come to you. She might just want you to take the initiative and let her know you love her. Kitties can be as fickle as people, with as little logic.

Siamese cats are actually very people oriented. I had a male Siamese who would follow me everywhere. And even wait for me outside the bathroom (if I locked him out). The minute I sit down or lie down, he'd be on my lap or stomach purring his head off. In contrast, a friend of mine who has a female describes her character to be similar to yours. Female cats just seem to be more reserved as they get older. Male tend to remain more affectionate and goofy even as adults. I don't know if others have made the same observtation as me.

jus old and lazy...when i first got my cat, he would sleep with me, follow me around, lay on my lap, and play all the time. now, (10 years later) he does nothing but eat and sleep. once in a great while, hell jump on my lap but only for a short period of time. its jus cuz they are old and tired. its sad but thats how it is. so what i did...i got another kitten. this one is jus the way my other cat was, but this one plays more and is very active. i still love my other cat tho!

When I am feeling lonely, I just go to where my cat is a lay down on the floor with it. It will come over to rub against me. Of course I have 11 cats, so if one doesn't want to hug another one will. I guess I am spoiled. Or is it they are spoiled?

Cats change when they get older. She may change again though. My cat is six. He grew out of the affectionate stage and has suddenly become very needy of me again.

Aww!
What happened was that your kitten grew up. She still loves you just as much, but is probably a bit more reserved about expressing it.
