Unusual Siamese cat behavior?
Nermel

by Jayse Hagar
(Sequim Washington)


My cousin has a Siamese cat named Nermel.

It's obvious how smart he is because of what I'm about to tell you.

This cat is a little bit like a dog.

He high fives and chases his tail. (I find that weird.)

 Rufus the Seal Point
by: TRUDY

My cat Rufus was so smart he turned the thermostat up when he was cold, and ran the can opener when he wanted to be fed. He was a nurse when I was sick, never left my side. He was a 14lb handsome guy. I loved him so much that when he passed at age 12 I have never had another house cat. There could never be another one like him.

 High Fiveing Tinker

My stepdad's kitten hi-fives as well, shame I don't have a good video of her doing it.

 Drinking Water

Sylvester has a habit of dipping his paw in his water dish in a cup shape and drinking the water out of the cup of his paw.

 Training Siamese and other cats
by: Caroline (Admin)

Hi Jayse and thank you for telling us about Nermel. He's clearly a clever cat.

My own Siamese, Bandit, also chases his tail from time to time, but I've never known him to high-five. That's a pretty neat trick - perhaps I should try and teach him to do that!

*****************************

A note about training cats:

Siamese cats are quite like dogs in their behavior and personality and it's possible, with patience and kindness (and lots of treats!) to train Siamese, and sometimes other cats too, to do simple tricks - 'Sit', 'Stay', 'Lie Down', 'Spin' and so on.

The earlier you start to train a young cat, the more easily they will learn, but always be gentle and kind and remember that cats don't have as much patience as dogs.

They'll let you know and walk away when they've had enough, so take it easy and don't force things.
