Thank you for explaining that. It doesn't make sense to me though, you say that temperment is not genetic yet all of these breeds are supposed to meet the standard for personality as well as looks. Is this not correct? If it does not have a genetic basis then why do the vast majority of Siamese...

Why did you breed from a cat that is aloof?

ALL reputable breeders have a spay/neuter contract, if there is a specific breeder you would like kittens with breeding rights from I would suggest that you email them explaining your reasons for: wanting to breed, wanting to breed with their cats, breeding ethics, etc. and see what they say. If...

I have three cats, one of which came to me already front-declawed. She is a Persian so she has a typical docile, dippy personality so she is the lowest in the pecking order, but her being declawed has no impact on this whatsoever. The other two cats, a Siamese and an incredibly BAD DSH do not...

I have 3 cats - Ruin the blue point Siamese who is 1.5yr Princess the cream with white point Persian who is 2.5yr And George the black DSH who is 9mo I also have two dogs, 4 rats, a cockatiel, and an ickle mouse.

How exciting! Huge CONGRATULATIONS!

I agree with those who advised you not to get this kitten. I understand having your heart set on a kitten and finding that everything isn't as you had thought. When I was looking for a Siamese kitten I had found a breeder who sounded excellent and like she really cared about her kittens, emailed...

Another thing to take into account, Siamese are EXTREMELY demanding and thrive on attention from their owners. My girl is my shadow, she is at my side her every waking moment. Should I happen to come home from work late she is highly upset and makes no secret of it. I have no idea about Ragdolls...

The hammies are adorable! I had a Syrian when I was in 1st grade, she was soo sweet. If you are interested in possibly getting rats here are two good sites for info: http://www.fancy-rats.co.uk and http://www.goosemoose.com (click on the 'Rats Rule!' link). I have been keeping rats for about 10...

Ruin talks to me all the time...even if sometimes I would rather she not! LOL She is a very typical Siamese, if I call her from anywhere in the house she calls back, then does these really short meows every couple seconds until she gets to me. She will also sit infront of me and reply to...

I love rats!!! I've been keeping them for 10 years and wouldn't dream of living without them. I currently have 4 does - two black irish dumbos, and two black-eyed white topears, they're 9 months old. Your baby sounds lovely, I would love to see pictures. I'm not sure if you're aware of this or...

Isn't longhair recessive also? I agree that he looks like a Ragdoll mix. Toby is TOO CUTE!

If you mean in general, yes it is. I know many, many people who have both cats and rats and have never had an accident. Actually of the three rat forums I'm a member of I can't think of a single instance where someone has said their cat attacked or killed their rat. If you were referring to my...

I'm going to be bringing home 4 sweet little rattie girls and am so excited! Their breeder has sent me a couple pics so I thought I'd share them. My two black-eyed white girls: I'm still waiting on pics of my 2 black dumbos girlies, apparently they refuse to sit still. It is SO HARD thinking...

I have three cats and currently 8 rats, though in the coming weeks I'll be adding 4 little rattie girls from a breeder. I do not allow the cats in the room with the rats while they're free ranging, but I do walk around the house with them on my shoulder and in my shirt. The cats aren't...

I would never accept a kitten without spending some time getting to know it in the breeders home. It is very important to see how the kitten acts in a familiar environment, and to see exactly how it was socialized for the first 4 months of it's life. I went to meet my kitten when she was 8...

I understand all of this, what I meant was if the breeder is unable to find a suitable home in the next couple of months. The kitten is already atleast 4 months old, most kitten families want a young kitten (even if we understand that this doesn't impact how the cat wil bond to the new owner...

If you still think she would be a suitable owner I would give her three days to pick up the kitten or tell her that the deposit is non-refundable. I don't think she is entitled to the deposit after dragging you along. Also, the price a breeder can ask for kittens goes down as they get older...

It really makes no sense to me why the book would say Siamese require moderate grooming. For Ruin who is a Modern style I use a rubber brush about once a week and that's it. She probably doesn't even need to be brushed that often, but she loves it!

I much prefer the girls also, so much easier not having to deal with fighting and I love how the girls just go, go , go all the time. Oddly enough I have 6 boys currently, 5 of which are rescues that I just couldn't leave. I'm so sorry that you lost two of your babies, URIs are horrid and so...
