I just joined this forum a few days ago. I also own boxers and I asked on my boxer forum for a good cat forum, now here I am. I actually was looking for a place for my friend and co-worker to get information regarding Persian cats. She just rescued a persian from our local animal shelter and will be needing some input. You will hear from her soon.
I have been owned by two siamese cats for over 3 years (my daughter thinks they are hers). They came to me as the cutest kittens and have developed into the most well-behaved, attention loving friends. No one can resist them. My fiance told me he didn't care for cats, but one of them is usually in his face. He tells them they are alright for cats.
My Kalua is a spayed female lynx point who is so round that she sleeps on her back. My Amaretto is a red point male ( also overweight) who thinks by breasts are his bed. He waits for me to lie on my back and traps me there. He is the best companion in the world!
We used to have indoor/outdoor cats, but their lifespan was too short. These two have been outside less than a dozen times in their lives and the distance they traveled was no farther than the front porch. I love it. I feel like they will be around forever for me, even though I know that is unrealistic. I don't know what I will do when my 17-year old daughter comes to me after college and says "I am taking my cats." I am not sure, but I think that will be our first fight!
I have only read a few posts so far, but I look forward to more cat stories! Maybe I will have a few of my own.
