Siameses?

I think siamese kitties are one of the most friendliest and talkitive kitties!!

I think Siamese are absolutely stunning. I've never met a purebred, but other than the movie I haven't heard anything bad about them. I'd love to get a Siamese X (that still looks like a Siamese ;) ) one day. I've seen crosses at work that still have the coloring and they are just so pretty!

since march 2005, at our shelter we have gotten over 5 purebreds, they all have been really sweet

I thought maybe we should visit some Extreme Meezers, and desensitize ourselves a little. Nowadays they are bred for large ears, long muzzle and very blue eyes.

Take a look at these lovlies....

What a gorgeous bunch.

I love them, any shape, size, color, breed. Love 'em cats!

I just love Siamese cats!
My favorite thing about them is their beautiful blue eyes!
My next cat is going to be a Siamese or Snowshoe rescue kitty.
I loved the two Siamese cats in Lady and the Tramp, it showed that two Siamese cats can be much more fun than one.
If I had my way, I would have a house full of Siamese cats because I love them so much. :)

Zoe, I know one thing. You are a BRAVE woman! LOL!!!!!! And you met Butter, too, and still want one!! ;)

I kinda see where Clarebear is coming from................

Let's go back in time (ok, w-a-y back!!) growing up in the 1960's my cousin had a Siamese cat, Gertrude. Gertrude was beautiful, but oh my what a temper that cat had! She terroized and scratched EVERYONE in site except my cousin :eek: and that wasn't even a firm rule.

There were many times we all just stayed clear of her, but then one night while sleeping over, I awoke to a fuzzball cuddling next to me! :) then I realized itwas GERTRUDE :eek: :eek: I remember having to pee so bad but I dare not move in fear of this cat. Well time went by and Gertrude was the talk of the family, i.e. many trips to the ER :rolleyes:

Fast foward to 2000 when Lisa (K&L) tells us of a cute little white kitty with blue eyes (she knew I had wanted one for quite some time :D ) So along comes Yoshi...........after a few weeks of showing him off, everyone was calling him a siamese............WHAT???? I don't want a Gertrude!! Of course by then Yo-Yo had firmly planted himself inside our hearts and I didn't care WHAT he was.

But just to be clear, Yoshi & Gertrude are exact oppsites, Gertrude WAS mean, Yoshi has his streaks, but he is also still very much a momma's boy. Everynight while watching TV he lays in my arms, like I am holding a baby. ;) and he sleeps on my pillow, holding my face at night :p NO~ he isn't spoiled at all!!!!! :D :D

I'm having a flaskback to the 60's as well.
I lived with my aunt, and she had a Siamese and an big ole Maine Coon type fellow. Well, it was the Maine coon who was mean.
And I remember his politically incorrect name. Booby. :p
