Hello everybody,

For years, my dad and many of my friends owned cats. Although I liked them, I never was a cat man. Found them to be too independent. This has changed last October when this fellow became part of the family. My wife always wanted a cat but I always prevailed. I melted when I first saw this beautiful cat. What got me was his sharp temperment, very playful, the cat almost seems to talk and sing as he makes sounds I had never heard from a cat. Very affectionate and yes beautfiful as well. He loves trees and follows squirrels around in the backyard's crab apple tree.

I guess having our moved out made the decision easy. I am learning more and more about cats and loving it. I think I love him more than my wife ! We picked him up as a stray at the local SPCA. Apparently he's a Snowshoe Siamese and a rarer bread ?

Anyways, here is our cat..Boules Noires..I gave him this name because of his dark scrotum ! Translated to english, Boules Noires means Black Balls !







Cheers,

Love your cat's name!
(Had to share that with my boyfriend!)

Yeah, pointed cats (and sometimes those that aren't pointed) have darker "bits" -even females can be darker in that area.

Bienvenue a TCS!

ETA: BTW he looks like a seal point cuz of the very dark points on his face.
