Hi everyone,

I just found out that my dearly departed, 19 1/2 year old 'baby child'
named Blue, was actually a half Siamese and half Himalayan. Blue's been
'gone' exactly one month ago, today-Dec.20th-04.

So what exactly did this bloodline make him/Blue? A mix breed? Or, is
there
an actual name for a breed like this?

As an aside: For all those who kindly took the time to respond to my
last
several posts, I have just* gotten a white medium-haired kitten who I've
named "Dove". He has one blue eye and one hazel eye. Although he's not
really super laid-back, he is* relatively calm and fairly gentle. Dove
also
can simply 'be' with me in the same room without constantly* running
around
and He can also just observe me. He makes eye contact with me when I
speak
with him, and already seems to know my voice/ his name..? So, I'm
reeeally
happy to announce him as my new 'baby' addition.

From what I have read about cat genetics, the Himmie decended originally
from the Siamese, so you could rightfully call your beloved a Siamese
offspring. IMHO Siamese are wonderful cats.

Congrats on your new babycat. MLB


**Thanks MLB,

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.
