Many Siamese can be leash-trained more easily with a harness than with a collar. 



There's no chance of the harness slipping off, as a collar can. Your pet shop will 



have harnesses made especially for cats, and with patient training you will soon 



be able to show off your pet all over town. 



to melt and the flowers begin to sprout, the Siamese may be 

 expected to come into season. The prelude to a female coming 

 into season is unmistakable. She is very fussy about herself and her 

 appearance. She likes to be let out for longer periods of time and 

 she craves more affection and stroking than normally. Sometimes 

 she begins to roll on the floor and makes crooning noises. This be- 

 havior may last for a few weeks if she is not allowed to be mated, 

 but more often it only lasts for a short period from 3 days to a 

 week. 



This period of heat is repetitious, and unless the cat is mated 

 she may go through it every month throughout the spring and 

 summer.
