You're right about cats not being domesticated. They're just socially adapted ferals.

But I take issue with you thoughts on Siamese. Over many decades I have a bunch of Siamese and none were anything about affectionate and sociable

They can be made crazy but they aren't born that way.

My latest Siamese likes people so much he comes and gets me when the doorbell rings and he hopes it's someone who's going to come in. No, they're great cats.

The thing with people thinking Siamese be crazy may have to do with their intelligence. Both of our guys have been very bright, sometimes almost scary smart for a cat.

Both excelled at inventing games. Our dearly departed buddy loved to play soccer. He would swat one of his fuzzy balls to you and expect it to be passed back. He invented the game, we did not start it. He also figured out how to pull drawers open by standing on hind legs, hooking the top with front paws, and backing up. Drove the wife crazy.

The Siamese cats I encountered as a vet tech were a sociable lot, for the most part. I’ve got one spayed female Siamese and she’s a good kitty. Her worst habit is abusing our small dogs when the mood hits her.
