I just "met" a couple of beautiful cats, a neutered boy named Romeo and a spayed girl named Juliet. Romeo is a little bigger or more sturdy-looking than Juliet, both are beautiful.
I did a search in this forum and this breed did turn up, but both threads were so--o-o long I began a new one.
I've only ever had "pound" kitties, and know nothing about Siamese. I've seen Sealpoint.
I love this Red Point peaches-and-cream variation.
Both cats were so friendly. They were cautious with Elwood (my dog) but not freaked out by him, and let me pet them.
Check out the pictures on my profile, my album is of my pets. My Rufus was a Flame point Siamese Mix, he was my sweetheart. He passed away about a month ago.
I now have a baby Flame point Siamese Mix and he is a sweetheart as well. He talks MORE then Rufus and he likes to ride on my shoulder alot.
I have heard everyone say that the Red points are more laid back. BUT I do believe Siamese in general are very unusual and personable animals. They do have their own noises they make as well. Sometimes my little boy sounds like a racoon with his chittering.
My Rufus was almost dog like in how friendly he was and he was that way from the first day I found him abandoned in the neighborhood.
Check out the Siamese Internet Cat Club website. If you scroll down and click on "Breeds," you'll learn all you ever wanted to know about the different color/point types.
We had a half-Siamese when I was a little kid. His name was Cha-Cha.
That cat was really something.
I have vivid memories of the time he attacked my mom's roast beef.
Or when he would leap up to capture ping-pong balls when we were playing table tennis, or yowl something fierce if he wanted something.
OTOH
He was a sweet and tender lap cat. I still have a picture of me at age 5 with this big cat in my little kindergartener-sized lap.
i've had 2 Siamese. The first one was a Sealpoint, died at age 13 of feline peritonitus. She and a black domestic shorthair actually went to Germany w/me where we lived for 2 yrs (military). My second one was a Bluepoint. She lived to be 20 yrs., 3 mo.- died of kidney failure. I don't think Siamese are as delicate & sensitive as they're portrayed to be. Neither one ever had hairballs which is supposed to be common w/the breed. They lived long lives. They did yell a lot but you get used to it. If you want a lap cat, Siamese are definitely that. I now have a domestic shorthair tabby who is a lot shyer and more sensitive to everything that both of the Siamese together. He's also not a lap cat. Some day I hope to get another Siamese.
