Siamese Cat

Having a cat health care plan in place helps you take care of your Siamese’s everyday health care needs.

A membership to a plan, like The Healthy Pet Club, covers your cat’s preventative health care, including vaccinations, health checks, flea and worm treatments, savings on vet fees and medication, plus other benefits like discounts on purchases (including things like pet food, treats and toys) in your veterinary practice.

Many plans can be paid for on a monthly basis, so you can spread the cost of your cat’s membership, whilst saving money on their everyday health care needs at the same time!

Cover your Siamese cat throughout all of their adventures with our cat insurance.

There’s a huge variety of foods on the market to feed your kitten or cat, both wet and dry, making it difficult to decide which is the most appropriate.

When choosing a food, it’s important to know that the needs of your cat will change throughout their life and will vary for different species and breeds.

Check with your vet if you need help choosing your Siamese’s food and amounts to offer.

While shorthair cats require less maintenance in comparison to their longer haired counterparts, they still need some level of grooming.

For Siamese cats in general, weekly grooming will cut down on your cat’s need to groom themselves.

This can reduce the likelihood of hairballs, which could potentially lead to intestinal blockages if they’re not coughed up; this’ll require emergency surgery.

Siamese cats are a beautiful Thai breed that have made a name for themselves internationally.

Their elegant physique ensures they are both athletic and agile.

They thoroughly enjoy human companionship and many will initiate little ‘chats’ with you.

You should be aware that the Siamese is a very active cat, who doesn’t like to sit about doing nothing.

They appreciate being kept entertained and you will have to put in some effort when it comes to preventing boredom.

Those cats who aren’t provided with enough mental stimulation can develop behavioural disorders.

Signs of asthma can include fast and laboured breathing as well as episodic ‘attacks’ when cats struggle to get enough oxygen and audibly wheeze.

Asthma is, frustratingly, not easy to diagnose, with a number of diagnostic tests needing to be done to confirm the condition. This can include a blood test, chest x-ray, heart scan and/or a bronchoalveolar lavage.

Treatment usually consists of medication including oral or inhaled steroids and bronchodilators. We also need to avoid any potential triggers, such as smoke or perfumes.

As cats are usually asthmatic for life, the ongoing treatment can cost thousands of pounds. 

Cats with PRA tend to struggle to see in the dark at first. Over time, the vision impairment is present in both bright and dim light.

As their blindness develops gradually, many cats learn to cope well. However, they cannot be let outside as it is not safe.

Sadly, there is no treatment for PRA. It is advised that predisposed breeds are screened before reproducing. 

Bright red and inflamed gums can cause a range of signs including a loss of appetite, drooling and food refusal. Certain breeds, including the Siamese, can be predisposed.

We can help prevent gum inflammation by feeding a prescription dental food, brushing teeth daily and getting regular veterinary dental cleanings. 

Cancer within the chest can lead to fluid build-up and symptoms such as fast breathing and lethargy.

We see this condition in younger Siamese cats, especially those with FeLV. Chemotherapy can prolong life but may not be affordable to all. 

While amyloidosis is a rare disease in cats, it is seen more commonly in the Siamese.

It is a genetic condition that leads to chronic inflammation and amyloid deposition within the liver, which causes liver failure.

Owners may notice jaundice (yellow gums and eyes), vomiting and weight loss. Those affected are generally under five years of age.

The average pet insurance claim currently stands at £848 according to the report produced by the Association of British Insurers in 2022.

As there is no NHS for pets, could you afford to take your chances and not have cover in place for your beloved Siamese cat?

Yes we do, as we know that more furry friends = more fun!

Both our LifetimeFlex and 365Flex pet insurance policies cover dental treatment as a result of an accident or illness. (So long as your cat is up to date with their yearly dental check-ups and where any work recommended is carried out at your own expense).

No, we currently do not offer cover for pre-existing conditions when you take out a new policy with MiPet Cover.

This includes any illness, accident, or incident, that occurred to your pet prior to taking out the insurance policy with MiPet Cover, and, any accident, illness, or incident that occurred within any exclusion period.
