when your cat has reached this age. Just make sure he has enough 

 food to satisfy his appetite, and keep a saucer of water available at 

 all times. 



OUTDOOR TRAINING 



As soon as the kitten is older, you can begin housebreaking 

 him outdoors if the weather is warm. Take him out immediately 

 after his meals and keep him out for as long as necessary. Once he 

 learns the purpose of the trip, he can be relied on to do his business 

 as quickly as possible. 



If you want to walk your Siamese on a leash, a cat harness is 

 the safest and most secure type of collar to attach it to. A matching 

 harness and leash look very smart on the Siamese cat too. Your 

 cat may balk at first when you try to get him to walk on leash, 

 but if you're patient and gentle he'll soon cooperate. 



If your Siamese goes outdoors by himself, be sure that he wears a collar with an 

 identification tag. You can teach him, too, to come when called. Start by summoning 

 him to his meals with the call "kitty, kitty," then add his name until he recognizes 



it and responds.
