Many cat lovers often complain that their Siamese cats are overly talkative. However, this is actually a common trait among many cat breeds, and it usually stems from the interaction patterns within the household. When owners frequently engage in conversations with their cats or when the family members are generally talkative, the cats gradually perceive vocal communication as a normal way to interact with humans. In the wild, cats rely more on body language and scent for communication rather than vocal sounds. But let me digress no further and introduce my two charming Siamese cats, who defy the stereotype of being noisy.
My two Siamese cats are remarkably quiet and well – behaved. They don’t create a fuss or make excessive noise. My male cat, in particular, is incredibly affectionate. My parents often comment on his melancholic gaze, even though his eyes are round and full of charm. One of the well – known characteristics of Siamese cats is their tendency to change color, and this is indeed true for my cats. Before my male cat was neutered, he and my female cat had several litters of kittens. When the kittens were born, they were snow – white, so pure that it almost made me wonder if my male cat’s genes had played a trick. Only upon close inspection could one see a hint of gray in the pointed areas, which gradually darkened as they grew. Initially, I had expected the kittens to be as dark as chocolate cakes, considering how black my male cat was. It was quite a surprise to see their transformation.
Siamese cats typically have blue – hued eyes, although the exact shade can vary from cat to cat. My female cat’s eyes have a slightly grayish tint. At night, their eyes reflect a striking red light, adding an air of mystery to their appearance. When raising Siamese cats, it’s crucial to pay attention to their skin health.
Now, let me tell you more about my “son” Yiyi and “daughter” Xiaocai. In my eyes, they have no flaws. Yiyi is a gentle and affectionate cat. He forms a deep bond with Xiaocai. Xiaocai, on the other hand, is a lively and adorable feline. She loves to squeeze into boxes, finding comfort and security in those small, enclosed spaces. Although photos may make her look darker than she actually is, in person, she is a true beauty. Her figure and eye color make her resemble a kitten, and she is full of energy, just like a young cat. Her body is much lighter in color compared to Yiyi’s, with a clear contrast between the light and dark areas, yet the transition between the colors is seamless.
Xiaocai’s body is incredibly soft, providing a wonderful tactile experience when petting her. She is also an excellent mother. When she had her first litter of kittens, I was worried that she might abandon them, but she proved me wrong. She took great care of her babies, showing remarkable maternal instincts. She is extremely dependent on Yiyi. She loves to groom him, and in a way, she is like his “licking cat.” She is a dominant and assertive “cat wife.” She often forces Yiyi to stay with her, takes over his favorite spots, and sleeps on top of him. Even when they are just lying next to each other, she always places one paw on him, as if giving him a hug.
Despite her boldness with Yiyi, Xiaocai is quite timid around strangers. She hides whenever there are guests, and they rarely get to see her. However, at night, especially when I’m up late working or before I go to bed, she will scratch the door eagerly, asking to be petted. Once I open the door, she will enter the room, look around carefully, and then sit by the door, looking at me expectantly, as if waiting for me to shower her with affection. The things she fears the most are losing Yiyi, my father, and her kittens.
Yiyi, with his gentle nature, complements Xiaocai perfectly. Their unique personalities and the deep bond they share make them an inseparable part of my life. They bring me endless joy and warmth, and I cherish every moment spent with these two wonderful Siamese cats.
