Animal. Repeat the process every week and if the cat gains weight, lower the dose of food (You can also take advantage of losing weight yourself).
- Hygiene: Siamese cats need to be clean, first always keep the house clean and second make sure your cat relieves itself in its litter box. A warning, unneutered male Siamese cats tend to urinate around the house because they are marking their territory, so watch your cat and try not to do so since the smell of cat pee is very difficult to remove and can last for months.

- Coexistence with other animals: With a dog it could be done but it is not recommended, since these cats are very fond of having their space and dogs are very jealous and like to be all over the house, as for rodents, don’t even think about it because They will be devoured by the cat as soon as you lower your guard, fish you can have since the cat will not enter the fish tank and as for exotic animals such as snakes, I do not recommend it since they could hurt your cat.
- Stray cats: There are many Siamese cats on the streets, so many times the Siamese cats that people have are picked up from the street, and for example I had a Siamese cat picked up from the street. The first thing you should do is take the cat to the vet to make sure it doesn’t have diseases and to get a general health diagnosis for your cat, then you should try to accommodate it at home since it is a wild cat, if you can’t with it you should give it to an animal shelter or another family but never throw it out on the street again.
- Sterilization: This has always been a controversial issue and it depends on your opinion, I did not sterilize my cat and I had the problem that he peed all over the house, the cats that are sold are usually already sterilized but not the homeless, If you sterilize it, the cat will be calmer, especially if it is a male, but that is your choice, I chose not to do it.
