My Siamese is a moody teenager. Her sister Patch is a love-crazy purr machine. But Casey is not. The best word to describe her is "emo". She rarely ever socializes. The one room she stays in is a room we do not use. She hides under the chair, in the fireplace, in my electric organ (not safe I realize), and other places which we have not discovered yet. Sometimes she is a very charming cat. She'll come out into the living room begging for attention. She'll let you pet her. But the moment you make eye contact or say her name, she flees! And then she will hide from you and won't come out unless you try to drag her out (Which is dumb and I have stopped doing that) or if it's feeding time.

I raise siamese cats and they can be very moody but they are also very strong willed cats. These are cats that really do require a lot of attention as they get moody and antisocial when left too their own devices when young. You need to keep her out of rooms that you don't want her in. She will get very territorial of that room and will defend it and there is nothing worse than an angry siamese. If you can close off your room and not let her in there to force her to be with the family is really the only solution. We had our male decide he liked our family room and would not even let the females in there, let alone our dogs. We crated him for a couple of days and that straightened him out. We have a large airline carrier that we use for time outs. We put a cat box in there and food and water and no matter how they wail and she will she has to stay until you can pick her up without the hissing.
I'm afraid she may not change. Once a cat has grown, in my experience, you can change bad behavior by the squirt gun method, but you can't make them more lovey dovey. One of my cats was very friendly until a 'friend' of my ex obviously did some thing to her she did not like when i was at work. She's never been the same since.
Has your cat been spade? Raging hormones in a teenage cat is just like a teenage person!!! Having her fixed could bring out the lovey kitty you once knew. For her safety and sanity it is the responsible thing to do as a cat owner.
