We are siamese, if you please...

I had to nip up to TED's today to get some food for Robbie. It's a very
quiet specialist cat clinic, and as well as your normal run-of-the-mill
moggies, he also deals with a lot of pedigree cats.

A lady was there with a litter of Siamese babies. She breeds and shows
Siamese, and the 12 week old babies were coming in for their shots
before going onto their new homes.

We started talking about the babies, and how beautiful they were with
their big blue eyes and brown noses. Then we heard, "YOWWWWL". So we
looked down. 6 babies looked back innocently. We carried on talking.. I
heard three voices go "YEEOOOWWWWL" together. So we did what good slaves
should do and we started scritching them. By the time we were finished,
we had six siamese babies all squirming in ecstacy, all giving their
comments on life.

It was kind of cute. I've not really had much to do with siamese, but
the comment that they have a lot to say certainly rang true with this
lot! They KNEW they were pedigree and they were going to let me know it!

Having said that, pedigree cats are lovely, but give me my scruffy bunch
of moggies any day!

I've never seen siamese kittens. Somehow, one thinks of them as just popping
out fully grown. I bet they are adorable. Siamese are *definitely*
characters.

Siamese cats can be beautiful, and who can resist those blue, blue eyes
they have? Obviously, that crew knew JUST how to get attention, and woe
betide any future slave of theirs who is deficient in the love and
attention department. And yet.... I feel the same way you do, Helen.
Give me my clowder of moggies, and I'm perfectly happy. =o) There are
many different kinds of feline beauty after all. And I've never yet met
a cat that was suffering from an inferiority complex.

I love Siamese - the old apple-head type - and I even planned to get one
at one time. But the local breeder had no kittens and wasn't planning to
breed any for a while, so I answered a 'free to good home' ad instead.
Fortunately, I also like striped cats. And cats with patches, and those
with solid-coloured coats....

Someone who is a bit less of a cat enthusiast than I am once said that I'd
never encountered a cat I *didn't* like, implying a certain lack of
discrimination on my part, but I'm sure I have. I just don't seem to
remember them right now. Even the scrawny street cats with rather
unattractive fur patterns that prompted the comment generally have
*something* attractive about them; their eyes, or the way they move or
something.

I think that last that you've hit on is the "it" for me - I *LOVE* the way
cats move. I've danced since I was 2 - semi-professionally from age 6 to 16
(in mardi gras balls and 2 or 3 times on local TV). As a dancer I notice
movement in much more detail than most people do. The ultimate dancer
(Mikhail Baryshnikov) will make all movement seem effortless and *NEVER*
make an extraneous move (he always "sticks" his landings after pirouetttes
or jumps) - never takes a false (or balancing) step, never moves his pinky a
fraction of an inch more than was choreographed.

Cats make Baryshnikov look clumsy!

Having said that, however, there is Sammy - the exception to the rule, the
supreme klutz who is continually bashing into things, tripping over her own
feet, and colliding with her sisters to their everlasting disdain.

Hugs,

CatNipped

Oh, they were beautiful alright, and yes, I love all cats, but give me a
scruffy one-eyed balck mog any day. ;o)

P.S. HRFL says he's actually 1/2 persian thank-you-very-much and his
mommy was a pedigree, so I'm not to forget it. ;o)

Wish I could have seen them.

This is why we usually have one very well bred Siamese in residence and one
feral rescue. The difference is almost as much as the difference between
dogs and cats.

Without the Siamese there is no one to carry on a conversation with.
