In the world of cat – raising, Siamese cats attract many cat owners with their unique personalities and charming appearances. People often say that Siamese cats have some theoretical “flaws.” However, during the process of getting along with them, these so – called flaws have instead become a different kind of scenery in life. Interwoven with the sweet troubles in cat – raising, they constitute a unique cat – raising experience.
Theoretically speaking, Siamese cats are afraid of the cold and have high requirements for environmental temperature. Their thin fur can’t provide much protection against the cold. Therefore, in cold seasons, a warm and comfortable environment is crucial for them. If the environmental temperature is too low, they may curl up in a corner, shivering pitifully. At the same time, Siamese cats are incredibly energetic. Without enough play and activities, their excessive energy has nowhere to go, and they may turn into “home – wreckers,” making a mess of the house. Items like sofas, curtains, and tissues at home may all become targets for them to “release” their energy. Moreover, Siamese cats have extremely high emotional needs. They are very clingy and eager to get their owners’ attention and companionship at all times. Once they lack sufficient companionship, they are prone to psychological problems. Symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and compulsion may all trouble them. In addition, due to the congenital development of some Siamese cats, they may have poor balance. They often tilt their heads, looking confused, and sometimes accidentally miss their steps. These seemingly cute and stupid behaviors in the eyes of their owners may actually be the result of their dizziness and disorientation.
However, these theoretical “flaws” are not absolute. Just as people cannot be generalized, each Siamese cat is a unique individual with its own personality and characteristics. You may choose a Siamese cat because you like clingy cats, but when it arrives home, you find it’s a cold – shouldered “little princess” who ignores you. Or you might expect a quiet Siamese cat, but it turns out to be as lively as a “little madcap.” These surprises and unexpected situations make the process of cat – raising full of unknowns and fun.
In fact, during the process of cat – raising, the real “sweet troubles” that make people feel both love and helplessness are not these theoretical flaws of the breed but the common problems of all cats. In their kittenhood, they are always full of energy and play without restraint. You may get bitten or scratched accidentally. Looking at the wounds, although it hurts, it’s hard to blame them when you see their innocent eyes. Kittens’ stomachs are very fragile, and they often have diarrhea. The sticky feces in the litter box are not only disgusting but also require you to clean them up despite the discomfort. They also love to crawl into hard – to – reach corners. You can find them under the bed, behind the sofa, or in the gaps of cabinets. When they come out, they are covered in dust, and you have to give them a bath. When they run around the house full of energy, they often knock things over. The sound of vases breaking and items falling is both annoying and funny.
But it is precisely these seemingly annoying little details that constitute the happiness of cat – raising. These “flaws” are part of their vivid lives and also a testament to the bond between us and them. With these big and small “troubles,” they enrich our lives and let us experience responsibility and love in the process of taking care of them. Perhaps this is the charm of cat – raising – feeling the warmth and beauty of life in those sweet troubles.
