I have been hanging out for about 3 months now. This is an amazing site full of such caring and knowledgeable members I read it daily.
A little background i grew up always having one or two cats in our home. Once I was in my own place I added two Siamese cats and had many wonderful years with them. But since then it has been about 15 years since I have had a cat. For my birthday this year (57) I decided to find a kitten who needed a home because I was a human who needed a kitten. As I was looking online I found this site. I dove in and read the forums obsessively they were so great. I quickly found that over the years some of the norms and advice for having a cat had changed over the years. I mention that because it had a huge effect on my search for a new kitten. I had started looking for Siamese and found that a lot has changed with the breed While looking I found a pointed kitten born to a Siamese mom and the dad that was a black cat. When I went to see him in person he was just 4 weeks old so little. As I sat on the floor playing and getting to know him and his mom and litter mates a tiny little guy came walking into the room. I was told he was the runt. I fell in love at first site. As I started to pay attention to the runt the original kitten I came to see started meowing and crawling up my shirt as if to say hey don’t forget about me! His little meow was so soft (a whisper)but to him he was yelling. After the meet and greet on my hour and a half drive home I kept thinking of the threads I had read here on how much better it is to get two kittens instead of one. That was not something I would have done.Years ago it was normal to get one kitten. While I did have two Siamese before they were not litter mates and it just happened by chance about a year apart. I had time to think before making any decisions because they were still too young of course to leave their mom. So I kept reading and thinking but the decision of course was already made. They are 15 weeks old now Whisper has white Markings and X-Ray has the tradition dark. We are so happy to meet all of you!!!!!!
