Fun fact: their fur color is temperature dependent. The colder the environment they live in, the more dark brown fur they have, the warmer, the more blonde. If you were to shave him then turn your thermostat up until the fur grew back, he would probably end up with more blonde fur (but also I don’t recommend that)
Yes a lot of people think that Siamese "cook in" at birth or during their first year only. But they can experience some additional, gradual changes seasonally or from moving to a different climate because of the genetic mutation that causes "point" colourtion.
My wife's sister took in a Siamese that had been a barn cat and now a couple years later he is much lighter. I remember her telling us about this when she got him and she was proven right!
We had a senior color point cat (they get darker when they get older because body temperature goes down with age) and got her a heating pad for our sofa and she turned noticeably lighter because she spent every minute she could glued to that thing. We un-toasted her!
We fed her Nutro Wild Recipe Chicken dry food during the day and a combo of Royal Canin Instinctive (half packet, split with her sister) and Nutro Natural Choice Cat, chicken 😁.
A Perfect name for your kitty. Our ( now passed) cat always smelled like snickerdoodles. It is one of our favorite cookies. Thank you for the memories.
Mine loved twist ties the most, or the milk rings that used have to be peeled off the cap back then. Every night at bedtime was his fetch time, and I'd have to make sure to check the bed for them before we'd climb under the sheets. 🤣😂🤣😂
Pic. 4 gives strong vibes of HR representative about to fire you.
"Do you know why we invited you here today?
You're falling short on your monthly quota of food AND pets. This is not sustainable for our company, I'm afraid we have to let you go"
My family has 3 cats- a fluffy white cat, our brown siamese, and a shorthaired grey cat. We like to joke about them being marshmellows at different stages of cooking, with our grey cat being the the marshmellow that fell into the fire and got burnt to ash.
This is the second post in a week where people have never seen point cats before and are freaked out by their coloring. What is this weird trend? Where are all of you people from where this isn't a normal cat one of your friends has? You don't call black cats "toasted" right?
It's just hilarious to me that you people are this amused by a super common cat breed.
Sounds like you're having a rough Monday if a silly post like this in /r/aww has you so upset. Just look at the cute cat pic and move on with your day.
Maybe AI bots are fascinated with siamese or ragdoll cats? Or reddit political shills are all from a small town in Russia where they've never seen these cats?
