Siamese Cat Breed Clubs: Another Option

Siamese cat breed clubs might be a good option if you draw a blank when searching for Siamese cat shows. If you really love these shows and want more, you can even try specific Siamese cat breed clubs. Many countries have good-sized national clubs or a scattering of smaller local clubs.

The beauty of these clubs is that they can be extremely specific and focused: not only do they hold a wealth of information, but may find some that concentrate on, say, chocolate points. Conversely you'll find others that cover all Siamese.

So why look them up on the web or even join one?

• It is a shortcut to valuable Siamese knowledge - the people in the club really know their breed.
• Siamese cat breed clubs will know whose cats have or are expecting kittens; this way you might be first to view the litter and have lots of choice.
• If you attend some of their events and become friendly with club members, you'll get to know all the ins and outs of caring for Siamese and get to know breeders with whom you have an affinity.
• The club polices itself so any problems should be sorted out if and when they arise.
• The members want to attract new Siamese cat lovers so you will be welcomed.
• You might find an expert friend from the cat club to come with you on your kitten selection visit.
• They run their own cat rescue side so cats kept by members will probably be looked after if one of their members can't look after them anymore.
• They are usually affiliated with one of the big clubs so if something blows up at a local level it can be sorted by the umbrella cat club.
• They run their own shows and as a member you should have privileged access to the event.
• You can volunteer to help at the event; this is a great way to see judging close up and listen to expert deliberations.
• A local club will have people local to you. This means you won't be traveling all over the country to meet people or hunt for kittens.
• You might even decide that you love the Siamese cat breed clubs so much that you would like to breed and show cats as well. Unlike many people who just fall into it you will of course know all about it and have good cat club friends to help you.
• You are safe in the club because everyone is bound by the club rules. If something goes wrong you will have others to intervene on your behalf.



So if you are not too impatient to get a Siamese kitten in the next few days, you might consider the longer route to Siamese cat ownership.
