Hello All,
I found this group by doing a search for Lynx Point Siamese. I'm so happy to find you all. I bore my poor colleagues to tears with stories of my kitties so now I have a place where not only will people not mind, they will join in chorus with me!
I'm a middle aged single woman who recently adopted 2 young kitties from a local rescue group. My older kitty, Chen Mao, was a Tonkinese that I rescued from the street. She had been abandoned by her former family and the vet estimated she was about a year old. She was my best friend for 17 years before I had to have her put to sleep in June, 2007. She was an only child and didn't tolerate other animals at all. She even attacked the Snuggle Bear on TV one time. Hilarious. I had a dog named Shana who was part Samoyed and part wolf. She was beautiful and the most loyal companion I ever had. I also had her 17 years when she was put to sleep. Their times overlapped a little bit but for the last 15 years it was me and Chen Mao. I was devastated at her loss and the well wishers that told me I could adopt another one didn't seem to understand the depth of my loss and that I needed to grieve first.
In November, 2008 I had a "milestone" birthday and mild depression from THAT. I decided that 1.5 years was enough. I started looking around for another Siamese or Tonkinese rescue kitty. The only cats I ever had have been Siamese and that's what I'm used to. I found Brie through Petfinder.com and a local agency. They said she was Siamese but I didn't believe them because of the stripes. I saw a program on TV that showed a Lynx Point Siamese and it looked exactly like my Brie. The agency's Foster moms named her Brie because she was "Soft, light and luscious...just like warm Brie Cheese". I wanted her to have a companion since I work full time so 2 weeks later I brought home Nugget. That was his name from the foster moms. Nugget is a little yellow tabby who is a challenge. I've renamed him Scutter. Well, Scutter J. McNugget O'Love. The J stands for Jihad...he really can be a brat. He is so loving and sweet sometimes, he likes being held like a baby and will ride on my shoulders. Brie has a quiet and sweet disposition and tends to be spooked easily. Scutter is fearless. He is my first male cat and my first yellow tabby. Neither of my kitties make normal meow sounds. Brie squeaks and Scutter makes more lyrical sounds, similar to a bell bird...starting low and getting higher at the end. He sounds more like a toy than a real kitty.
The rescue group vet estimated Brie to have been born in April 1, 2008 and Scutter to have been born June 1, 2008.
I've posted some pictures in a photo album. I'm happy to find this group and I look forward to sharing moments with all of you. I'm not a crazy cat lady just yet but I'm thinking I can't be too far from it.
Cheers to all.
From Houston, Texas,
Dj, Brie and Scutter
