I really wonder why Siamese and Himalayan's are NOT bred? To me, this is
a
no brainer. Blue was such a sweet cat and so beautiful ( he was apricot
flame point), inside and out. He neeever had any behaval problems /
issues.
Would come if I whistled, was extremely obedient and loyal. Extremly
docile
and gentle. Good God, I can't even begin to name all the excellent
charator
traits that he had.

Needlesstosay, I would get another fifty-fifty-(Siamese and Himalayan
breed
of cat) in a heart-beat if* I knew where they were available, And if I
knew
about the parent/cats' personality.

Honestly, IMO, this 'mix' should* be a *new* breed, no doubt in my
mind.
And I can't believe that if, and since, the 'Persian' breed is so
readily
available ( and I personally would NOT want a Persian), then why* in
the
world isn't the Siamese and Himalayan 'Mixed blend' available??! Comments
and suggestions are welcome.

I'm sure that your Blue was all these things and more, but he's one data
point. Even if you did get another siamese/himalayan, there's no
guarantee
the cat would have all of the traits you loved about Blue. It wouldn't be
fair to the new cat, either, to expect it to behave a certain way just
because
another cat did. Half the fun of a pet or child is watching them develop
their own unique personalities!

Congrats on Dove!



**Thank you, Monique. And yes, Dove is "Ma boy!" ;-).

I was thinking along the lines that everything I've read regarding
Himalayan's say that they are known for being extremely docile and gentle
( save for the occasional anomalies and inbreds). Siamese are known for
being very loyal and smart. To me this combo = Excellence.

So why not breed for those not so common and excellent traits... Hummm.. I
think I've had a light bulb moment :-). I have just* discovered my new
occupation...Now, if I can jussst find the right people that haven't* (oh,
this is a Biggie) already spayed their great & beautiful Siamese's and
Himalayans.
I digress.
