Caring in Malaysia
- Malaysia's heat suits the short coat, but keep your Siamese indoors with fans or aircon and fresh water to prevent heat stress.
- Brush the short, fine coat once or twice weekly to cut shedding and hairballs; wipe the face and ears gently in humid weather.
- Watch for wheezing or coughing, lethargy or fast breathing, and increased thirst or urination; these can signal asthma, heart or kidney issues, so see a vet.
For health concerns, consult a licensed veterinarian in Malaysia.
