We’ve chosen the Siamese as our breed focus this month, and several of us have recently had the pleasure of welcoming some wonderful Siamese guests who provided plenty of inspiration. They’ve kept us thoroughly entertained with their charm, curiosity, and affectionate personalities.

Siamese cats are one of the most recognisable breeds we welcome into our hotels. With their striking blue eyes, short pointed coats and confident presence, they tend to make an impression quickly. This month’s feature is all about what makes this stunning breed so special — and how we ensure they feel right at home at Longcroft.

Siamese kitties are intelligent, inquisitive and thrive on interaction. They’re rarely content to simply observe — they like to be involved in whatever’s going on and often enjoy gentle company and connection. Many will happily greet us each day or potter about beside us as we go about our care routines. It’s a lovely reminder of how socially tuned-in this breed can be.

Because they’re so people-oriented and emotionally sensitive, we take extra care to maintain consistency during their stay. Our hotel owners are all trained in feline behaviour and tailor their care to suit each individual guest. We stick to familiar routines, maintain a calm atmosphere, and gently support our guests as they settle in. Something as simple as being able to observe neighbouring suites or having a favourite spot with a view can make all the difference, and we’re always tuned in to what works best.

Check-in is handled with calm and confident care. We allow our Siamese guests time and space to explore their suite at their own pace, using gentle interaction to help them feel secure. For those who enjoy it, puzzle feeders or light enrichment activities offer welcome stimulation and reassurance.

While their grooming needs are minimal, we find that a little gentle attention with a grooming mitt can offer not just coat care, but a moment of bonding and calm — something many of our guests come to enjoy as part of their daily routine.

If a guest ever seems unsettled, we take the time to consider all possible factors — from noise levels to suite location — and make small, thoughtful adjustments as needed. Our team is experienced in spotting subtle changes in behaviour, and we keep a close eye on eating habits, litter tray use, and general wellbeing throughout each stay.

We know that Siamese cat owners often have a very special connection with their kitties, and we make sure our updates reflect their character, quirks and preferences — not just the practical details. Our aim is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your kitty is understood and cared for with genuine expertise and affection.

We love having Siamese cats with us at Longcroft. They bring warmth, intelligence, and a wonderfully engaging presence — and with the right care, they settle in beautifully and leave a lasting impression on all of us.
