    Siamese cat behaviour problems.
    Hi
    We got a Lilac Point Modern Siamese kitten (Mesha) from a breeder. The breeder stopped breeding and sold all his adults and last kittens. Mesha and her brother was the last two left and he gave her to us for free.
    The problem is that he didn't socialise his last kittens at all, he didn't have the time, that's why he stopped breeding. So when we got her at 4 months (she is 8 months now) she was scared of us and all our other cats.
    After a while she started to trust us and she tolerated all the other cats, except for one. She absolutely hates our 2, year old neutered Siamese male. He didn't do anything to her, but every time he comes near her, even within meters of her she totally freaks out and screams like someone's trying to kill her!
    That was fine, we could deal with that, she only had issues with the one. BUT now a few days ago we got a new baby – female Siamese kitten. From the time she arrived Mesha has become allot worse. Now she hates the new baby, she hates our neutered boy, she doesn't want any of the other cats to come near her, if we try to pet her she growls and runs away and if we try to pick her up she screams like we're going to kill her and scratches us and runs away.
    She is stressed and on the defence permanently and I feel so sorry for her. We love her very much, so getting rid of her, or any of our cats is not an option. We need a solution, ANYTHING!We need to know what to do to make life better for Mesha, our other cats and ourselves.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Kind Regards
    Chantal
    (We have 6 cats in total)

    You love her so much that you don't want her to have the life she wants with no other animals around? I would say find her a good home. You can try all sorts of things, such as high condos and perches for each cat to stake out their own spot, but I think the odds of her acclimating are slim.

    I love her very much and she is very special to me.I put allot of work(and love)into getting her where she was before and grew very close to her.I can't imagine giving her to someone else::-( She's also scared of strangers. I'm not giving up now.

    I will try giving her more save places to go. I'm hoping that when she is over the shock of the new arrival then we will be able to work with her agfain, cause at the moment we can't really touch her. Im hoping and praying for the best. Thankx
