I've mentioned before that we had another Siamese years ago. This is so long
ago that it was right before we were married (and we're celebrating 30 this
year!) Someone had abandoned her  (she was about 1 yr old) in the hall in
our apt building with a bowl of food; so they may have deprived her of food
for a while so she'd stay.

This was an apt bldg w/no animals, so of course, we had to be careful but we
took her in, you know the story, and she owned us.

When we bought our house she moved with us. She lived for 15 years.

She totally ruled the roost, never weighing more than 7 lbs. During her
reign a total of four dogs (incl a doberman/shepherd and a malamute) feared
her wrath. She housebroke the puppies, leading them outside, and showing
them where to go. I think she figured she was the only one to use a bathroom
in the house!

Toward the end she developed cancer and had 3 surgeries. After the third, it
had spread terribly so we had her put down. In those days we didn't have
digital cameras, so I've uploaded some snaps we took of her. The ones of her
sunning outside were taken right before we had her euthanized. I was able to
hold her when he gave her the shot, so at least I knew she wasn't scared.
