Siameses?

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 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 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

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 ) 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 NO~ he isn't spoiled at all!!!!!

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.
