If your Siamese cat is making unusual noises, especially at night, it's often a sign that they are entering their heat cycle. If the Siamese cat's usual meow sounds unusually rough, like it’s coming from deep within their throat, it could indicate that they feel threatened and are ready to defend themselves.
Siamese cats are very lovable pets. Though some may find their appearance less appealing than other breeds, they are known for their affectionate and clingy nature. They tend to be extremely loyal, often bonding with a single owner. However, one drawback is that their vocalizations aren't always pleasing to the ear, especially the calls of an adult Siamese cat which can sound quite odd. The meows of a young Siamese kitten are very different from an adult cat. When they’re young, their meows are often soft and delicate, making them sound adorable. As Siamese cats mature, their vocalizations change. Adult Siamese cats develop deep, strong voices, often described as howling or 'ow-ow' sounds, and some will stretch out their calls, resulting in peculiar and strange noises.
Why Do Siamese Cats Make Strange Sounds?
Siamese cats cannot communicate with humans using words, so they use their meows to convey different messages. When a Siamese cat makes certain sounds, it’s important to understand their meaning, especially when they're kittens. For example, if a Siamese cat cries like a baby at night, which can be quite unsettling, it generally indicates that the cat is in heat. If your Siamese cat’s meow is unusually loud and rough, sounding like it's coming from their throat, this could be an indicator that they feel threatened by a potential enemy. The cat is likely angry and preparing to attack. This is the reason behind their unusual vocalizations.
How to Train Your Siamese Cat to Be Quiet
To train your Siamese cat not to be too noisy, you must first build a strong bond with them. Regularly petting, paying attention to your Siamese, and rewarding them with occasional treats will help them trust you and form a strong emotional attachment. Of course, while building this positive relationship, do not over-indulge your Siamese cat. The more you spoil them, the more arrogant they become. Training, discipline (including rewards), caring for them properly, and not spoiling them are all essential to making sure your Siamese cat is well-behaved.
