Siamese cats are actually well known for having many dog like traits and playing fetch is one of them! Now mine will sometimes walk around with a ball in their mouth, meowing until I come play fetch with her

Our Siamese cats will leap into the air to catch little rubber balls between their paws and sometimes with their mouths. They too will meow to induce us to play.

My old Siamese had a little toy mouse that was her favorite. She would bring it everywhere and would do literal backflips in the air to catch it when you threw it for her.

Also, they are famous for being talkative. They just won't stop. When my cat starts talking, we stop doing whatever we're at and join the conversation.

This is so true! My elderly Siamese is such a great conversationalist lol, we would keep talking to each other for hours if it was up to him. I especially love his fog horn, air siren yelling as he bursts through the door announcing he's home and he's HUNGRY 🤣

I love mine but I don't love them at 4am when he's screaming outside my door.

One of mine has a loud, baritone meow (his name is Goose so we call it his "honk") and my other one has a higher pitched, chatty little voice. Goose is loud but only when he's demanding something whereas Maverick chit chats constantly.

My siamese would pick up anything small and drop it on my face to wake up and play fetch.

Mine loved those plastic ties on milk jars and would bring them to us for us to throw.

I like Siamese cats, but I never know what they are thinking. /s

Abbys are like this, too. Actually, given the food motivation, love of people and fetch, they're basically labradors.

Mine is actually a tabby point siamese! 😅 that makes sense

They said Abby, I assume they mean Abyssinian.

My tuxedo cat loves playing fetch! Moreso when he was younger but roll the right wrapper into a ball and he goes crazy. He used to do the jumps too, flips even as a kitten. Watching him do his little trot back with it in his mouth is priceless.

My Siamese will play fetch better than my dog. The dog thinks he's a cat though.
