My husband and I have adopted two foster kittens and one of them happens to be a Siamese which has always been a breed I was fascinated with and loved but I knew they had particular traits and that a lot of people say that they’re not fond of other cats because their possessive. And so having raised her from bottlefed with my bigger cats and the other kitten and she got along well with them so we decided to adopt her despite that warning.
Since she’s gotten bigger and really settled into the house and has developed her personality I’m noticing some pretty unique traits that she has and I’m wondering if it’s just her or a Siamese thing. Most of these things aren’t negative to me and while they can be a bit much sometimes I don’t really mind.
She licks my lips but only mine not my husbands or anyone else.
She demands I pick her up and if I don’t she’ll jump into my arms.
She’ll start purring like a motorboat when she within a foot of me.
She is possessive of me and asserts dominance when with the other cats, she’s sitting on the highest part of me, or she walks over them or bats her paw at them so she is getting the most attention.
She brings me and my husband “gifts” while we sleep. He wakes up with paper towels, empty toilet paper rolls, ribbon, anything small and light that she can carry up and she’ll actually put the stuff in my bed as I don’t have a door.
She’s extremely vocal, demands to have doors open, if I walk away and she doesn’t know it I’ll hear her cry and then I say her name and she runs to me, and if she’s sleeping when she first wakes up she cries for me to call her and come to me.
Is my cat just acting like a typical Siamese or is she just super clingy to me?
Again most of the behavior is okay with my husband and I, though I am working on redirecting the walking over and batting at the other cats, even tho it never starts fights I’d like to redirect it.
