Siamese are often vocal, but I would guess that she is just seeking some
attention.  Don't forget, this is all very new to her.  The fact that she
slept all night with you sounds like remarkable progress in such a short
time.

Have you had a full check-up (test for heartworm and FeLV, blood work,
thyroid check if your cat is several years old) by a vet?  If not, this
should *always* be done ASAP with a new pet.  Be sure to take a stool sample
with you (as *fresh* as possible) so it can be checked for parasites.

Good luck with your new furbaby!

She's siamese. They are VERY vocal cats. I have a cat who is part siamese,
part calico. She's very pretty adn talks all the time, especially when I am
trying to sleep. She seems to know. I just talk with her for a while and she
usually settles back down.

My last adopted cat mewoed a lot when he moved in. For about 4 days. I
believe it was everything mixed together: new place he didn;t know, new cats
he didn;t know, new human he didn;t know, new life he didn;t know. He was
probably expressing his fear, his doubts, his concerns and his need for
reassurance. Possibly he was looking for a previous owner, or maybe asking
me to take him back to where he knows.

Cats are very territorial animals. They feel uncomfortable in new
surroundings.They don;t know the smells, the limits, the possible dangers
and escape routs. They will feel very uncomfortable, especially if there are
other cats. Just think how you'd feel if you were just dropped into a new
place all of a sudden. Unfortunately we don;t speak their language, so we
can;t explain to them the situation. But lots of reassurance, kind words and
treats should do the trick. Once she makes your place "hers" she'll settle
down and relax. As others said, as a part Siamese she will be extra vocal
anyway, so she may continue speaking a lot more then other cats. All I can
say to that is: enjoy it! There is no music better then cats voices. I only
realised that far too late when my QT, who was extremely chatty, suddenly
died, and left me with this eary silence in the house. I'd give anything to
hear his voice again. Anything.

So really, I dont; think anything is wrong. I think she just needs
reassurance and time to settle. It might take up to a week, I think. Just
give her lots of love.

Gee

She may be looking for attention.   Maybe she wants you to pet her,
hold her, pet her.  

She also may be trying to tell you she appreciates the fact that
you are taking care of her.  

One thing I always do with every new cat (even from an animal shelter)
is to isolate them in a seperate room until the vet can check things
out.  I especially do this now because when I got my 19 year old
male when he was a few weeks old I made the mistake of cleaning
his ears before taking him to the vet, only to find he had an ear
infection.

  Sounds normal to me.  She'll calm down a bit in a few weeks - and a
lot in eighteen years or so.
