I’ve been thinking about getting a Siamese cat, but IDK which type to go for. I’ve heard there are four main types, seal point, chocolate point, blue point, and lilac point. Anyone here have experience with them? How do they compare in personality and looks? Also, do they really act like dogs? Kinda curious about that lol.
Yeah, Siamese cats are super chatty and affectionate. Mine follows me around the house all day, kinda like a dog. If you don’t like a vocal cat, maybe reconsider lol.

Wait, they actually follow you around? That’s wild. Do they get clingy?
@Kai
Yeah, they can be. They don’t like being alone for too long. If you’re out a lot, might wanna get two so they keep each other company.
If you’re going for looks, I think blue point Siamese cats are the prettiest. That bluish fur on their faces is just chef’s kiss.

What do you mean by ‘blueish fur’? Are they actually blue?
@Kim
Lol, not like bright blue, more like a cool grayish-blue. Their ears, paws, and tail have that tint. It’s really pretty in person!
Lilac point Siamese cats are the lightest ones, right? I heard they barely change color as they age.

Yeah, they start off almost white and get slightly darker over time. Their noses and paw pads are kinda pinkish too.
Anyone here got a chocolate point Siamese? I heard they’re rare compared to the seal point ones.

Yeah, they’re rarer, and you can’t even tell them apart from seal points when they’re kittens. Their color develops as they grow.
BTW, if you’re getting a Siamese, make sure to get pet insurance early. Vet costs can add up fast, especially since some of them can have health issues.

Oh for real? What kind of health issues do they usually get?
@Lior
Stuff like respiratory problems, heart issues, and sometimes dental problems. Not all of them, but better safe than sorry.
