I agree about the "kink" in the tail - I loved the story about the rings, but I had also heard it was a sign of a true Siamese to have that kink. And greetings and prayers to you, Morty's Mom, and to your husband overseas, from here in San Diego at the Naval Medical Center where prayers and loving thoughts go out to all our servicemen and women daily. I will add an extra thought for your husband next time I happen to watch the morning raising of the colors.
