Visited an Oriental breeder this weekend! (Update with *PICTURES*)

[Russian Blue]

It doesn't hurt to look, right? ......
Am I crazy or insane? I swear, I'm just going to look...

Famous last words! Can I come with you?

I grew up with a Siamese cat and I would love another oriental if I had the chance! Life is short Karen. If you want another cat go wherever you need to, to find that one. I just checked out the Pacific Siamese rescue pages. Check out Ella or Buster (scroll down to the bottom of the page for Buster....he's so darn cute!): Ella & Buster!

Of course, I'm not going to stop you if you want a Russian Blue. Rescue or not, Nakita was the best thing that ever happened in our life. She is our soul cat and it was meant to be (fate, maybe?). I've been to cat shows but no other cat matches Nakita's beauty, personality and CHARM! Nakita has been the most unique cat ever to grace my life. Can you tell I'm smitten?!

If you do get an oriental cat, then you just have to come here to visit Nakita. You're welcome in my home anytime chikk! We just need to somehow bridge the distance between us.

You don't need anyone's approval! Beware of "just looking" though!

[critter crazy]

Definitely your life, and can do as you want!! Dont feel that by going to a breeder, you are doing something wrong! You have definitely done your share! All i know is that when you come home from "just looking" make sure you post pics of what you brought home!!

ORIENTAL CATS ARE SO MUCH FUN, AND ARE NOT ONLY FUN CATS, BUT VERY INTELLIGENT AND DROP DEAD GORGEOUS TO BOOT.
YOU WILL NEVER REGRET HAVING ONE OF THESE AMAZING CATS AS A COMPANION.

I KNOW THAT I DONT.

Karen, this sounds wonderful and I know how much you love this breed. Is this the same woman that I met when we were at the International Cat Show. If so remember they specialize in white Oriental Short Hairs and I know how much you love white kitties.

Here's a closeup of Karen holding an Oriental Shorthair. I took this picture at the cat show.



Isn't he adorable?

Thanks everyone!
KAK, the woman I'm going to see actually co-bred the kitten (Max) that I'm holding and lives just south of Modesto. The woman we talked to had given me her card, and you're right, I believe they do specialize in the white orientals.

catmandu - thank you. I agree, they are definitely beautiful...as are your babies

critter and kim, thanks! I know...just going to look really could have some repurcussions, couldn't it?

Russian Blue - I would LOVE to have you come with me!
I also have to agree...your Nakita is the most gorgeous Russian Blue I've ever seen. In fact, KAK and I even commented about that when we were looking at the Russian Blues at this past cat show. LOL How come these don't look as stunning as Nakita??? They are all gorgeous, but Nakita has the most beautiful face and eyes I've ever seen in a cat. I have seen Orientals come in that beautiful grey/blue color. Hmmm...best of both worlds? I would love to meet you and Nakita in purrson. Stay tuned on the Oriental escapades!

Stace, thanks sweetie! I love you lots! We (you, me, zip and Kelly) should have a conference call again sometime! That was fun.

Lizzie, thanks for the links. I'm definitely keeping my eye in the rescue world, because you never know when the right cat (purebred or not) will pull at your heartstrings. I may have to swing by the Pacific Siamese Rescue as a lot of the kitties on that site were totally adorable....OMG...Buster, Max and Milo, Bocelli, and all of the adorable fluffy kittens. *sigh*

Bocelli looks like a very helpful kitty!

So cute!

Uh oh...this could be trouble...

**hugs**

Have you gone to visit the breeder yet?
If you did, I hope you took lots of photos to show us.

Russian Blue, thanks for posting that link to Siamese Rescue, I love looking at the kitties there.
Cinder and especially Ella are just beautiful, someday I hope to adopt a Snowshoe kitty from Siamese Rescue.
