Yes, they are among the more talkative cats and will comment on daily life, though usually with a softer voice than the modern show Siamese.
They are usually sociable and enjoy busy homes, and they often get on well with cats and friendly dogs. Introduce new animals gradually.
They bond deeply and dislike long solitude. A companion pet, or midday drop-in visits for play, keeps them happier.
