What you need to know to keep your Siamese healthy and happy
Exercise
30 minutes daily
Siamese are active cats who need daily play. Interactive toys, climbing trees, and puzzle feeders keep them mentally and physically stimulated.
Grooming
Weekly brushing
Their short coat is easy to maintain. Weekly brushing removes loose hair. They shed moderately and are relatively low-maintenance.
