What a lovely cat, those Siamese/tabby crosses sure do turn out some beauties. Just wanted to let you know, I named one of my cats Chriscraft because he purrs like a motorboat too! (And Harley is so overdone....) Best wishes to you and the fur person!

Dear Sallie,

Welcome to Pet Talk. I love it here and hope you will, too. Tell us more about your cats!

Well, let's see. Keju is the Singapura, he's 13 and a half, I call him my little instigator because he starts everything, although he can't always finish it--if he finds he's bitten off a little more than he can chew and Chriscraft is about to get him (playfully--they get along very well), he comes tearing up on my lap where he knows good and well Chriscraft won't follow; then he turns around a looks at him for all the world as if he's saying 'nyah nyah nyah nyah nyaaaahh, nyah, can't caatch meeeeee.' Stinker. He's also known as the Velcro kitty--he sticketh closer than gum on your shoe. Singapuras are still very rare, and I think they're beautiful. If you go on the net and look for Singingpurrs cattery, they have some lovely pictures.

Chriscraft is a previously feral, long-haired orange tabby. He's 3 this month some time. He has adapted amazingly well, though at first he would only come to be petted if I was sitting down. He seemed very afraid of feet; I think he'd been kicked. He is now pure house cat, loves being petted. He's named Chriscraft after the motorboat company because he purrs so loud (and Harley's too common a name nowadays).

I guess that'll do to start with. I have two other cats, Taz and Tsarina, who are currently staying with my parents on a 'long-term lend' -- my parents' pets passed away from old age, and since my parents are pretty old too they didn't want to get a kitten or a puppy that might outlast them-- but no animals just felt very weird, so I lent them two of mine. It works out well because sometimes my mom gets pretty sick and I need to take them back home for a while. Two beautiful white kitties; he's short-haired, stocky, with big golden eyes, she's Angora-type fluffy, very much a girl, with mint green eyes and a disdain of all other cats besides Taz.

Thanks for asking, I love talking about my cats (ask any of my friends!). What are yours like?
