Yep, it's not real exciting. People who came here looking for something better than SPT should -2 and click onward. Or skip it and look at the nice kitty pictures at the bottom.
Since I started living alone again, I started realizing how much I missed my roommate's fatass cats.
They were fun, if annoying at times. Everybody needs a little companionship once in awhile, and now that I am an hour away from the closest friend of mine, I decided I needed someone, or something around.
What do lonely single people do? They get cats.
So I did.
I found the most clever, devilish cats I could get, and I brought them into my home. Apparently I also hate myself, because the level of abuse I take at the claws of these little Freddy Kruegers is astronomical.
And I've only had them about 2 weeks.
Siamese cats are among the smartest of the species by far. They are curious, playful, and sneaky. They form bonds with their owners and each other, often dying when separated, as these two almost did when they were sent to a shelter. I brought home the pair, who have been together since they were kittens. You never see them apart, except when one is off doing something and the other was left to distract you. This is when you should begin to worry.
So far, there have been some memorable moments. Being tackled by the two of them, climbed like a tree, only to have my hamburger stolen straight out of my hand was kind of fun in a way. I'm getting a lot of exercise these days because I'm literally eating on the run.
Sleep has become a thing of the past. It's hard to sleep when you are paranoid, lying there waiting for the gleaming eyes of the stalker under your coffee table to streak towards you with claws extended. Or to leap from the windowsill onto your pillow, because your snoring has annoyed them.
I lay there the other night, when one of them came up and began to "knead" his claws on my bare chest in happiness, as they often do.
This is not fun.
What's worse, when I tried to scoot away, he placed one outstretched paw full of razor-sharp skin-flaying death on my NIPPLE. Looking me in the eye, and purring, the eyes said it all:
"Move again, and I'll cut you, bitch."
Yesterday morning around 5am, I heard one of them clawing the shit out of my couch. I yelled out at them to quit it, and all sound ceased.
Then I saw it. The tail. Like a sharks fin, bobbing along as it headed for me.
He jumped up, purring like crazy, to stare me down from 2 inches away.
I said: "I'm going back to sleep now."
So he turned around, reached out one paw, and tapped my touch-lamp, turning it on for me and flooding my unprepared eyes with bright light.
Then he looked at me again, still purring.
I made breakfast like a good slave.

If you're a cat lover, and of Siamese in particular, please: Give a kitty a good home. Find one, and adopt. Don't buy from a breeder unless you can't find what you're looking for. There are plenty of animals out there who need homes. http://www.siameserescue.org

My cats are rescued mongrels and they fucking kick the ass out of any pet evar.
I was watching pet rescue the other day (ahem) and they said they have trouble rehoming black cats because no one wants them. Bugger that!!! My cats are black, one with a white bib, and they're gorgeous! I don't like the ones that look like they've been sewn together out of spare bits of unmatching cats. Like Zombie cats.
Actually that'd be cool..

Siamese cats are awesome. My cat (appropriately named "menace") is part siamese (long story, it involves an un-neutered male siamese and a Russian Blue) and is the most insidiously evil creature I have ever met. but she's cute and I love her.

My female (Lily) does not not like whistling - I found this out by whistling and having her run full speed at my leg, climbing my leg, again, claws fully extracted and running up my chest, claws fully extracted, to bite my lip - I bled.

THAT is the exact thing that I'm talking about. If one of my cats scratched the shit out of me like that for no reason I would punt it into the nearest wall. Fuck, you want pets for affection and companionship, not to force you into a wary state of combat readiness.

I hate Siamese cats. Dirty little fuckers.
I get annoyed when people let their cats or pets be little bastards. Fuck that. Sure they're a little scary...but I'm of the firm belief that no cat looks scary when it's flying out of a third story window.

I've had a couple of siamese mixes (3/4 siamese) in the last 15 years or so, and I will always have them. They are so smart, so damned fun. Mine were abandoned on the street as kittens, so they are always looking for food.
I lost one a few years ago to a heart attack.
Right now I have Jack. 8lbs of annoying, twisted genius in a very cute pacakge.

That cost about $ 3k.
I'm planning one myself for next may/june timeframe. A week-long class on Mt. Baker, in Washington State. Rock, Snow & Ice training, rope team work, etc. Cost about $1k before travel expenses and any specialized gear.

I'm not a huge fan of siamese cats. Every one that I've met has been mean.
But seeing as I'm a cat owner, I will always think my handsome Saskatoon is the most beautiful cat EVAR. +2 for cats.

I read that when you posted it. Completely freaking awesome. What's the damage on a trip like that, if you don't mind me asking?
This summer, I plan to take a backpacking trip, but am not sure where yet. I will be planning it after the first of the year.
Glad all is well. Don't worry about fucking things up. It happens. Hell, I could fuck up a wet dream, but I don't let it slow me down.

In May I moved into my own little place. Beachside, along the coast between San Diego and Orange County.
Learned to surf over the summer, along with the vacation I took. See my other posts "Summiting the Lost World" http://www.ubersite.com/m/70623
2005 has been a good year in many ways, but I wish I hadn't fucked up a few things.

They're not skinny. That's the way purebred Siamese are supposed to look. No extra fat on them, ever. They're lean and strong.
I got them from Siamese Rescue, linked at the bottom.
The previous owner had given them up 2 months ago, they spent almost a month of that time in shock, refusing to eat or drink. They had to be force-fed and given IV fluids to keep them alive. They had not come out of it entirely when I went to get them. Still severely depressed. It wasn't easy to get them to realize they were in their new home. But they're fine now and really coming around.

Calm down, calm down. Just a joke. I got my two cats from the The Pound too. One's a large part Maine Coon muttcat with black fur and the ability to come home with pink ribbon tied to his tail, and the other's a small part Tabby muttcat with grey and black stripes and a notch in the ear he can't hear with. The only time they cooperate is when it's 3:00AM and I forgot to feed them the evening before. See? I like cats, so please, please, jus' don' hit me again!

One is a Blue point, one is a Seal point.
Yes, they do many of the same behaviors. The personality is the reason I wanted them above any other kind of cat.

I too have 2 siamese cats that act exactly the same way. A few weeks ago I woke up to my male one (caleb) running as fast as he could, claws fully extracted, over my face. I still have a scar on my nose. In fact, the 2 I have look identical to the pics you posted. A choco point and a lilac point. They sleep, eat, play and attack me visiously purring like a pair of, well, siamese twins.
My female (Lily) does not not like whistling - I found this out by whistling and having her run full speed at my leg, climbing my leg, again, claws fully extracted and running up my chest, claws fully extracted, to bite my lip - I bled.
I also wakeup 6 out of 7 mornings with both of them lying on my chest looking at me, purring and kneeding my chest, especially if I have anything that even resemble fleece on.
I cannot leave out the fact that they drive my dog insane by intagonizing him by standing on the couch arm and yelling - as only a siamese can do - and then running around the corner into the hall - 1 goes one way the other the other way - only to attack him from the front and behind. My dog now eyes them with great amounts of suspicion and will no longer walk within 2 square feet of them.
Oh but aren't they so cute as they lay together and clean each other and snuggle - only to suck you in so that when you say awwwww how cute and want to love them they immediately give you the dirtiest look and then start to clean themselves where you touched them like you are diseased.
But they love me and follow me around wherever I go, come when I call them and even play fetch...
