It's not so much thin fur, but lack of fur. Siamese do not have an undercoat like most cats do, it's what gives them their sleek appearance and why they're always seeking warm spots.
You should get a pet warming pad for your kitty. Mine sleep on theirs all the time.
This is a good starting point.
Also, Siamese are high energy, highly vocal and very social, that's why it's best to have them in pairs or more. They are not solitary cats and need social interaction. They make excellent supervisors, they're everywhere you want to be. They're also very loving and loyal cats.
I also recommend getting a pet warming pad as Siamese are always seeking heat because they do not have an undercoat like most cats.
Overall, you're in for a treat if you've never had a Siamese before. They are amazing cats.
You should get a cat door. We got one on amazon that fits into our sliding door for around $130. That way we don’t lose ac in the summer and no bugs. example
I've had my Siamese for almost two years and have tried several different litters. Luckily, he's never been picky even when he was a kitten. I found the latest one I bought is the best one at masking unwanted odors; it's made from crushed walnut shells. I get it from Amazon .
Amazon. Not cheap, but they like it. Quality is good. My parents have one for their cats, and it’s a hit at their house too.

Yeah for sure! And thank you! I got it off amazon, it was only 45$ and today was our first time using it but it seems to be doing well! It comes with stakes as well. There are definitely sturdier or nicer ones out there but this one honestly does the trick and it got good reviews on amazon.

It depends on whether your cars are territorial about food! I only had the boy to contend with, but the slow feeder DEFINITELY reduced how often he was vomiting. I am dropping the link to the feeder I used. It’s rubber so it should be cleaned frequently.
Also, switching from dry to wet food helped. This isn’t at all scientific, but I felt the expansion of the dry food in his stomach was leading to more vomiting. The pile of food looked so much larger on the way out than in the way in.
Siamese are arguably the most social cat breed there is. They're smart and need companionship and stimulation. They love to play and sing. If you don't have another pet in the house, I suggest you get another Siamese or some kind of pet to keep them company.
They're also very loyal and once you're they're person, they like to be wherever you are. They enjoy having conversations with you and being included in whatever you're doing. They also like to get in trouble, but that's part of their charm.
Also, unlike most other cats, they don't have an undercoat and tend to get chilly. I have a few of these pet warming pads in different rooms so they always stay warm and they love them.
He absolutely wants to play more! My Siamese has endless energy. Siamese cats are a very energetic breed. For my cat, I bought a changeable ball track for him to play with while I'm busy! Because you can rearrange it, it's always new for my cat and so he never gets bored of it and loves it so much. The one I got is from the company Catit. Definitely recommend getting that or other stimulating toys he can play with when you're busy.
Here's a link of the one I have:
Have you taken him to the vet for this? Maybe there’s something they can prescribe, like cat Xanax.
I’ve read different stories about the efficacy of Feliway diffusers, I think it depends on the individual cat.
I hope this tiny kitten will be at least 8 weeks old when you bring her home, they shouldn't be separated from their mom before then.
Also, toys toys and more toys. Siamese are exceptionally busy cats and require a lot of stimulation. The interactive toys like the feather on a string/pole will help build their trust and confidence. You being involved in the play is important.
Siamese are arguably the most social breed, so having them in pairs or more or having other furry buddies to play with is important. Be prepared for this kitty to be your shadow. They're very loyal as well as social and love to be in the middle of whatever you're doing. Once they find their person, they stay pretty close to them. They make excellent supervisors.
And Siamese don't have an undercoat like most cats, so they are always seeking out heat sources. I highly recommend getting a couple pet warming pads. My two are always on theirs.
We have two of them and they work great! They’re pretty basic but they hold up to our other cat’s 12lb body (he’s not fat, I promise!)
There is a trick though… because of the way the suction cups have been packaged, they become slightly warped and don’t hold their suction as is. You have to let the suction cups sit in a bowl of hot water for a few mins so they can reshape themselves. Haven’t had to redo any of them as of yet (couple months).
Oster Sunny Seat Window Cat Bed:
You should think about giving your kitty probiotics. I give this kind to mine. I also give them fiber (psyllium husk) and it completely sorted out his digestive and intestinal issues.
But talk to your vet about it first as your little cutie is still very small. Looks like his ears also need to be cleaned. I use a q-tip with a little alcohol on it.
Unlike most cats, Siamese do not have an undercoat, so they're little heat seeking missiles. I have several of these pet warming pads and they sleep on them exclusively. I highly recommend them.
Please consider getting your guy a pet warming pad. I have several around the house and my two love them, they sleep on them every day and night.
Please consider getting your cats a pet warming pad. I have several around the house and my two love them, they use them whenever they sleep.
I appreciate u/El-Ahrairah9519's perspective. I was assuming that it was more to do with the fact that they wanted to stack them up on top of each other because they wouldn't allow the hard plastic top entry carriers either. I will try to adopt this thought process instead of assuming the worst.
About them shooting out before you zip it closed, ours has a leash clip (seat belt) on the inside that if the cat has a collar on you can clip it to that leash to keep them from bolting out. I don't know that all the soft carriers have that option though. https://www.amazon.com/Funko-Pop-Television-Collectible-Figure/dp/B071X7HZBN These are the ones we use and they're great.
In a panicked state I can see how it would be difficult to get the cat to get into any carrier. I specifically train ours to play in them by leaving them out and open and putting treats and their toys in them so they can become more comfortable with being in that space. I didn't do this with the hard plastic one because we had to go buy one just so they would take him that day and not reschedule 3 weeks later this also might have been part of the problem. I find that the easiest way to get them in the carrier is to turn it on it's end with the opening facing up and gently setting the cat down into the carrier. Two people doing this one holding the carrier one holding the cat.
Is he neutered? Are you saying your kitten is spraying inside the house? Or just the other outdoor cats? If you have a stray problem try contacting a local rescue/shelter. Many set traps to catch and spay/neuter. Neutered males spray less. You can also purchase air guns that have a motion sensor that go off when it senses motion that will scare animals away from certain areas. After awhile they may just stop coming around if they feel it’s unsafe. product
We use a version of this: Catit Senses 2.0
You definateky need to take it apart and clean the engine / filter periodically - we do weekly. My wife is a little over clean though. You could probably pour some rubbing alcohol there weekly, rinse, and be fine.
Oh no I don’t mean to put the cat on a plane! I just meant to use a carrier that’s designed for air travel but you could use it in your car too if you have the space:
In my experience, cats meow up a storm in these hard shell carriers but love the soft fabric ones. Between myself and family, we’ve experienced this with 4 different cats! So if anyone is struggling with their cat and carrier, consider a large fabric one.
If you want to get him a window seat the lazy way (don't want to drill permanent holes or place adhesives to attach anything), I found these work great for my athletic 12+ lb. girls: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JWCZLKZ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
They're very easily movable from window to window or removable if you're relocating.
They make better recovery collars that are not cones. We got a soft one that was much more comfortable. My cat was using it as a Pillow.
Happy Easter btw. They don’t seem to sell the eagloo anymore. This one looks the same. Did you get it on Amazon? rabbitgoo Cat Harness and Leash for Walking, Escape Proof Soft Adjustable Vest Harnesses for Cats, Easy Control Breathable Reflective Strips Jacket, Red, S (Chest: 18" - 20") https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B081YLH26V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_NXBFVRKX08MBHA56562H?psc=1
Hey OP, when my girl got spayed it was a huge problem to get her to stop from picking at the stitches, and she refused the cone of shame, getting it off every time we put it on her. I know it's a bit last minute, but this product ended up being a lifesaver. There's lots of different types but this is the kind we used. If the cone doesn't work and you need an alternative, you can also create something similar to this by cutting up and sewing/pinning a t-shirt
Amazon. This is what we have. https://www.amazon.com/Lectro-Soft-Heated-Pet-Bed/dp/B000ICGJZK/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&
We have three. Two are nine years old and work just fine. They are always plugged in. The third we just got for the basement since it gets cool down there. They have an inner air layer and don't burn like traditional heating pads. We first got them for our older cats and we credit them for them being active into their 18th years.
I got it on the Canadian Amazon here ! $136.99, but we ordered two towers so we can customize the tower a bit for two kitties.
I love how spacious the two beds and the hammock are, can definitely hold two critters at once. Also, the colour and material is nice. All around great quality.
My main issue... it’s a big one. There’s hardly any safe stepping space for your cat to climb up the tower!! So dangerous! I almost wanted the old tower back because of this. Luckily, we have a mini cupboard right next to the tower that Kai can step on and off which is the only reason he’s able to get on top with confidence. Also, I’m not the only reviewer who feels this way :/ another just personal thing, I wish there was a long scratch post on one of the front facing legs of the tower. When it’s leaning against a wall with a corner, Kai can’t have access to his perfect height daily scratching pole. He’s now scratching the back of the first hut.
I would just take a look at the overall picture of the kitty tower and see if you think your cat will be able to navigate and climbing that thing, also if it will meet her/his specific needs.
I have this one:
Escape Proof Cat Harness with Leash Adjustable Soft Mesh - Best for Walking https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DBY79MM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_kLcwFbXRMT62W
I’ve tried a lot of harnesses, and this is the first that hasn’t had any escapes, even partial ones. The leash comes from a separate kit- it’s the most common harness and leash kit for cats, it’s often the only one you’ll find in stores like petco. The harness isn’t worth it, but the leash is a bungee leash so it has nice give without being too much.
Good luck!!
Yeah! I’ve tried SO many harnesses for her and her brother, and this one is the first that hasn’t even partially come off either of them, no matter the wiggling. She’s wearing a medium.

I bet Ozzie would love our cats favorite toy, 'Redbird'. He tosses it around like this and bats at it also and plays fetch (only for positive feedback). it has a electronic chirp that has survived years for us, and trips into the water bowl.
All our cats have their own heated boxes, each with its own pet heating pad. Pet heating pads work differently from human ones; they stay at a low heat level and get warmer when pressure is applied. They're also safe for kitties - too much heat and they start losing fur in the areas that come in contact with the heating pad.
Ours have been plugged in for years. Literally.
I linked you to just a pet bed, but in your case, a box lined with blankets, then the pet heating pad, and a towel or something over most of the top to form a windblock/cave would work better.
In which case, the box should be about as tall as the cat when it's standing so as to form a decent sized cave.
As an aside, for whatever reason, I have to keep approving your comments.
Great information thank you!!
This is my cat's fur: http://imgur.com/a/GxWXJ Not sure how to describe it, but very spiky and "stray" cat appearance.
He grooms a lot and I brush him once a week with a metal tooth pet comb: https://www.amazon.com/Chirpy-Pets-Dog-Brush-Shedding/dp/B0178VW3PS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481650888&sr=8-1&keywords=chirpy+pets+dog+and+cat+brush+for+shedding
