Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2006We are siamese, if you please...
I had to nip up to TED's today to get some food for Robbie. It's a very quiet specialist cat clinic, and as well as your normal run-of-the-mill moggies, he also deals with a lot of pedigree cats. A lady was there with a litter of Siamese babies. She breeds and shows Siamese, and the 12 week old babies were coming in for their shots before going onto their new homes. We started talking about the babies, and how beautiful they were with their big blue eyes and brown noses. Then we heard, "YOWWWWL". So we looked down. 6 babies looked back innocently. We carried on talking.. I heard three voices go "YEEOOOWWWWL" together. So we did what good slaves should do and we started scritching them. By the time we were finished, we had six siamese babies all squirming in ecstacy, all giving their comments on life. It was kind of cute. I've not really had much to do with siamese, but the comment that they have a lot to say certainly rang true with this lot! They KNEW they were pedigree and they were going to let me know it! Having said that, pedigree cats are lovely, but give me my scruffy bunch of moggies any day! Helen M > Having said that, pedigree cats are lovely, but give me my scruffy bunch > of moggies any day!

Siamese are *definitely* > characters. You haven't? Oh, gosh. I need to scan a pic of Frank when he was a baby. They don't get their mask at birth. The pic I have he just has an itty-bitty mask, only covering his nose. He was just starting to get his. I love the way they talk. It's my favorite thing about Siamese. Frank never talks though, unless he's really got something to complain about. Since he's been grounded indoors, he's had plenty to complain about. He's been talking a lot lately. Sherry Siamese cats can be beautiful, and who can resist those blue, blue eyes they have? Obviously, that crew knew JUST how to get attention, and woe betide any future slave of theirs who is deficient in the love and attention department. And yet.... I feel the same way you do, Helen. Give me my clowder of moggies, and I'm perfectly happy. =o) There are many different kinds of feline beauty after all. And I've never yet met a cat that was suffering from an inferiority complex. Melissa I love Siamese - the old apple-head type - and I even planned to get one at one time. But the local breeder had no kittens and wasn't planning to breed any for a while, so I answered a 'free to good home' ad instead. Fortunately, I also like striped cats. And cats with patches, and those with solid-coloured coats.... Someone who is a bit less of a cat enthusiast than I am once said that I'd never encountered a cat I *didn't* like, implying a certain lack of discrimination on my part, but I'm sure I have. I just don't seem to remember them right now. Even the scrawny street cats with rather unattractive fur patterns that prompted the comment generally have *something* attractive about them; their eyes, or the way they move or something.

I think that last that you've hit on is the "it" for me - I *LOVE* the way cats move. I've danced since I was 2 - semi-professionally from age 6 to 16 (in mardi gras balls and 2 or 3 times on local TV). As a dancer I notice movement in much more detail than most people do. The ultimate dancer (Mikhail Baryshnikov) will make all movement seem effortless and *NEVER* make an extraneous move (he always "sticks" his landings after pirouetttes or jumps) - never takes a false (or balancing) step, never moves his pinky a fraction of an inch more than was choreographed. Cats make Baryshnikov look clumsy! Having said that, however, there is Sammy - the exception to the rule, the supreme klutz who is continually bashing into things, tripping over her own feet, and colliding with her sisters to their everlasting disdain. Hugs, CatNipped > Having said that, however, there is Sammy - the exception to the rule, the > supreme klutz who is continually bashing into things, tripping over her > own feet, and colliding with her sisters to their everlasting disdain. Makes me miss our Maggie. The clumsiest cat you ever met. And one with a fascination for walking the tops of fences and making all the neighborhood dogs bark.

Wish I could have seen them. This is why we usually have one very well bred Siamese in residence and one feral rescue. The difference is almost as much as the difference between dogs and cats. Without the Siamese there is no one to carry on a conversation with. Jo > Without the Siamese there is no one to carry on a conversation with. > > Jo I have Robbie and Lily who are complete chatterboxes and both give me a running comentary on life as they know it ;o). And Lily's comments on the stupidity of the human race actually getting into the shower out of choice, in the mornings, are hysterical! She got into the shower with me this morning by mistake. She wasn't impressed!! ;o) Helen M >Wish I could have seen them. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >Without the Siamese there is no one to carry on a conversation with. Well, my Spotty ALWAYS has something to say ;=) I've never met a more vocal cat - she talks to me, Sammy, Little Bit - heck if none of us pay attention she even talks to herself. OTH, Sammy never has much to say, and LB only talks to complain - I can always tell when I've neglected to clean out the litter box, since LB walks from one to the other muttering to herself while looking over at me LOL SignatureSteve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Spot with loving memories of Rocky (RB) stouchst@JUNKsirinet.net [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html > Having said that, pedigree cats are lovely, but give me my scruffy bunch > of moggies any day! Amen! I think the pure breeds are beautiful as well but I love my moggie-babies and wouldn't trade them in for a million dollars laid out in a line.

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Blessed be, > Baha I think Siamese are really beautiful, but I don't think one would suit me. I don't like vocal "in-yer-face" cats. Or dogs either. Neither of mine are pushy, Kitty is unable to meow anyway, don't know why, she opens her mouth but no sound has ever come out except an occasional quiet "wah"; Boyfie only meows if he wants to go out, needs a little snackette urgently or is alerting me to Kitty's need, so we all suit each other very well.
