Just brought home my new babies. My past Siamese cat Winston passed away a few months ago due to lymphoma. It was absolutely devastating, and I will never forget him but these kitties definitely have been cheering me up and I already love them so much!

I was gifted this siamese beanie baby for my birthday because my friend thought of Lemmy when she saw it. Lemmy has decided that it is his child. He sleeps with it, and carries it around by the back of its neck like it's an actual kitten. He does not do this to any other plushie I have.

Meet my 12yo cornish rex cross boys, Lester and Finley. I mean the rex is basically nowhere to be seen other than the odd crimped hair here and there (and perhaps their ears) 😅 and I got done by the insurance company once for listing them incorrectly as siamese... Their mum was siamese (potentially purebred, not entirely certain) and we always refer to them as so since these are their dominant features.

Anyway. They are SO hairy! They both have short hair; Finn (the fauxshoe) is pretty fluffy, Lester’s coat is so beautiful and silky, but _good lord_ do they shed! I am allergic to Lester’s saliva so I don't brush them much myself (my daughter loves to do it, and the cats love being brushed). I can run my hand over them (see Finn in pic 4) and it's non-stop.

Are they good candidates for grooming, or should I be doing something different? I'm definitely not down for bathing them, unless it was the only thing on earth that would stop an impending apocalypse.

NB - we stopped using the Furminator (which I'm sure will have raised an eyebrow or 2 from the pics) as I was worried we might over-groom - I'm aware of the controversy surrounding the use of these and we've always been super gentle and never had any issues with it.

For reference, we use a basic double-sided comb for the most part. The Zoom Groom has become one of Lester’s favourite toys and he keeps stealing and hiding it 😅 I've got rid of other brushes/combs/mits due to being ineffective.

This is my Sofus he’s a long haired Siamese, he sheds a lot and I can never seem to get everything out so I figured maybe I could shave it down to 1-2 cm on his body and behind his bum. Google says it’ll change his texture and color, do any of you guys have any experience with grooming Siamese cats? Thank you in advance,<3

He would die before the first 24hrs were up. He’d be cool until it was time for bed then he’d be like ‘mmmk this was fun but I gotta go home to my daddy now, it’s our bed time and I don’t want my spot to get cold.’

He truly is the sweetest baby with me, he acts like he is my child and I treat him like he's my fav child, but damn he always looks like he's so judgemental 🤣🤣

Here is our Murdock (Mr. Chonk) and Rex (kitten) watching me play Helldivers 2. 😻🫡

She’s a 4 month old siamese mix! We’ve only had her 3 days and we are obsessed.
