It's a lovely Summer


Littlefeat Dixie Chick enjoys a bit of sun in the garden.

This Summer has been rather shifty, but lately it's turned into the kind of Summer we like. Hot and sunny. My roses are thriving with the rest of the flowers in the garden. It's lovely. Simply lovely.

Our cats share this sentiment. As soon as we open the door to the garden in the morning, they rush outside – tails held high. And then, as the sun gets more and more intense, they crash in different positions where ever they find a spot that combines a sun ray or two with a gentle little breath from a friendly Summer wind.

The only thing we miss right now, is kittens playing in the grass. Harriet has obviously decided that she doesn't want to have kittens at the moment. We still hope she will change her mind and start to call, but she's a stubborn little girl with a strong will of her own. So we just pamper her and hope for the best.
We might get more lucky with Olivia, though.

I am Siamese if you please. I am Siamese if you don't please.

Modesty loves to spend time in our garden. When the sun goes down, she likes it even better.

  The Siamese cat - not for the average cat lover
The extra cat  

Neither the Oriental nor the Siamese cat are cats for the average cat lover. These cats demand more, but they also give more. No other cat can compete with them when it comes to intelligence, creativity or the ability to love. These cats are described as the “extra cats”, because they are extra everything – extra energetic, extra emotional, extra smart, extra manipulative etc. If you are looking for just a cat, you have come to the wrong place. The Oriental and the Siamese are cats for people that are a bit extra themselves . . .

The Siamese and the Oriental shorthair are basically the same kind of cat, the only thing that separate them from each other are their colours and patterns. The Siamese has the coloured points (face, ears, legs and tail are coloured, and the body should be creamy white or light), while the Oriental shorthair is coloured all over and can be solid or patterned (mackerel, spotted or blotched). The body type, head and so forth are the same. As is the mental condition!

Many people get fascinated by the slender beauty of these cats, but before you consider buying one, you should read this article about what and how they are. If you are still interested, we could have a talk.
