I bet you will soon notice he is not like any other cats you may have had.:smiley:

Forgot to ask how the other 2 feel about him and vice versa?

Post by: Judi_bk on 22 Nov, 2019, 03:50:55 pm: He just appeared in our garden a week ago. Crying, frightened and very very thin. Been feeding him up. The vet says 10 weeks and he has had injections and worming tabs. He was very quiet for 2 or 3 days but he is getting very lively now. Not sure he is pure siamese just aSpanish Siamese moggy

The other two are not impressed

Post by: frankie on 23 Nov, 2019, 10:56:30 am: Same as my Katykat. She has all the characteristics of a Siamese apart from the paperwork. I bet Josh will be the same. Incredible he found you as you have wanted one for so long... The other 2 will probably just tolerate this 'thing' which hurtles all over the place and skitters around corners..

I have told her about a certain Katykat who was nasty to two little Burmese kittens and when they grew big they beat her up but I don't think she believes me.

Post by: cagzok on 27 Nov, 2019, 09:37:21 am: We have one of those too, he was dumped in a box, the vet said he was Tonkanese.........Burmese/Siamese cross. As Frankie says he wont be like other cats, they are more dog like,loving to be patted on the rump, and faithfully following you everywhere.
You are very lucky to have him Judi.

Post by: frankie on 27 Nov, 2019, 05:41:42 pm: I've been telling her that for years but there didn't seem to be any around. That's why it is so incredible he found her.... It was simply meant to be..

Post by: cagzok on 01 Dec, 2019, 02:22:17 pm: Ours also loves a belly rub, most cats will have you if you attempt it!
Title: Re: Josh
Post by: frankie on 02 Dec, 2019, 10:12:35 am: I disagree with you there cagzok! Cats will only permit someone they really trust to allow belly rubs. It is their most vulnerable spot. I have a red Burmese who loves cuddles, head bumps and falls asleep when on my lap but if I make the mistake of letting my hand drift to his belly it is a totally different thing. I have twice needed treatment down at the Urgencia from severe infections! There are more nasty bugs in a cat's mouth than any other pet, according to the DR!
My siamese and his lilac burmese bruv just love having belly rubs

My lovely charlie will let me rub his tummy and head for hours but refuses to touch noses

Post by: Judi_bk on 21 Apr, 2020, 04:13:05 pm: The cat Drax. Juan I really like them. It was wierd, you hand them the cat in the carrier at the door and wait in your car. Only go in to pay and they are in full anti virus gear
