Super photos kat, very magnificent and contented pussycats. The 'apple' shaped head in a Siamese is actually the original type found in Thailand. I don't know why, but here in UK they bred that out and went for the most skinny and slinky shape. I'd like to post some pics of my 'boys' but don't know how to. (not very clever technologically) And as I'm not a memebr, I don't think it's allowed. I brought up the breed type as I wondered if it has any bearing on lifespan. It would seem that the larger the body mass of the cat's breed, the longer he/she might live. My blue-point 'Smokey' is getting a bit old now, he wants to be beside me all the time bless him. It's sad isn't it?
