I've heard that same description of the Siammese cat!
I own one that is mixed breed.  I had one other (cream-point)
for 10 yrs. before he passed on.  Then the next Christmas all
the pet stores had Siammese kittens.  I'd staand there with
tears in my eyes. I finally caved in and bought one for $150.
Now I have this lavender-point who seems
to spend her life either on or under the bed.

Really enjoyed your page and showed it to my husband.
