Does a Siamese cat prefer one person over others?

I have a Siamese look a like kitten that was born to a stray that did not look Siamese. She had two more kittens that both had different markings. The mother and other kittens went away but the little Siamesish one stayed. She was wild but now will come to me only. Someone said that is a trait of that breed. I was wondering if that was true because someone else would like to take her home and she is only comfortable around me right now.

its the same way with a lot if cats. my family has three cats. the youngest one like my mom the most. the oldest one like me the most. the middle one like my dad the most. when our neighbor goes away we watch her three cats. when i go over there one of them comes and sits on me and is always by me but the other two ignore me. when my mom goes over there one of the cats that ignores me goes by her the whole time. she also has a siamese cat that will sit in the same room as us but when we pet him he leaves. i dont think it is only with siamese cats.
you were one of the first people she saw..they always take to the ones that take care of them..just like children…besides, with any breed of cat…they will "adopt" a cretain person…they all do this…that means that you belong to her…she will be fine after a while if you give her to someone else..any cat will "adopt" one person from their home…no matter if they already "adopted" someone in another household…hope this helps you…
Yes, in my experience Siamese cats are very much one-person cats.
The good news is that the person can change. My Dad’s Siamese eventually switched to being my cat, and it seemed like the typical cat stuff–petting, treats, play-time, was the ultimate deciding factor.
yes people don’t think they do but cats will find a person to love and stick to them
I have had siamese cats most of my life and have 3 pure breed siamese at this time and yes usually siamese will bond with one person there main caretaker. I have had all mine since they were 9 week old kittens and they are extremely emotionally bonded to me and only me. My 6 year old is friendly towards other people and will go to other people for petting but knows I am her Mom my two young cats are rather shy of other people and only trust me. It is a characteristic of siamese to be bonded to there people and follow you from room to room like a dog and want to be with you 24/7 they do not do well as an only cat either. It’s best to get a pair or another cat as a playmate. I have always gotton mine in pairs of litter mates. I dearly love the breed they are the best.

All cats have a tendency to bond with the person who feeds them and gives them the most attention. But Siamese are "extreme" cats, so they play, live, love in extremes! They are very smart and very loyal. If the kitty goes home with someone else, as long as they understand and enjoy "demanding" cats, who want to follow them around and have their attention more than the average cat, the kitty will eventually bond with a new loving, attentive owner. I find a good way to bond with cats is through play, with quick stops to show affection, then back to play. Training them to do tricks all in fun, is another way to bond with them.
