I
first encountered a Siamese cat at the age of eleven when invited home
for tea by a school friend. There on the kitchen table was a
beautiful sealpoint Siamese cat. It was of, of course, a
traditional Siamese as the year was 1959. I made a
mental note that I would, one day, own a Siamese such as that.
The chance came five years ago and I purchased Baby Girl my
foundation Siamese Queen.
Although
unaware at the time that I bought my Siamese Queen, I went on to
learn that she was the traditional/classic type as opposed to the modern
extreme type seen on the show bench today. I much prefer the
traditional Siamese with its softer, less pointed face and,
although the ears are large, they are placed more on top of the
head. The body is not coarse but heavier, in fact the whole look
is less extreme than the modern Siamese.
Baby
Girl, my foundation Siamese queen, proved herself an excellent
mother who produced strong healthy kittens with no genetic faults and
this is the line I am breeding from today. I do not keep a
Siamese stud cat as I only have one or two breeding queens which is not
enough to keep a boy happy. I aim to produce kittens that all
conform to the Siamese breed standard.
All
my Siamese kittens are raised in the home and are used to dogs and
household noises. My Siamese kittens are mainly seal, blue
chocolate and occasionally lilac. I live in the Kent Countryside
between Canterbury and Dover and am accessible from the M20 and
M2.
