Thanks Cdbga! She really looks like she has her nails painted (and they match the pads on her feet LOL). She is a beauty. Christiii, Bailey is gorgeous. Sounds like you prolly should get another to keep him company while you are at work.

escapee, a tonkinese was a breeding between a siamese and a burmese, many many years ago. now it is it's own breed. they are distinctive by their light blue/green eyes.

Didja notice? It looks like Naiya has black bandages wrapped around both her left legs. Too cute!

Looks like Bailey is making himself right at home. Not much room for you in "their" bed, is there?

Christii - I've had 2 Siamese and their behavior is just like described. They act much more like dogs than cats in that they follow you around and like to be in the middle of everything. When my kids were little and grandma would come over and be on the floor w/the kids, Jade was right there with them. My dad laughed when Misha met him at the back door when he came in one day. He could be either..but what I want to know is - how are you finding all these Siamese/Tonk/maybe mix kitties as rescues? Holy cow! They're so hard to find around here although a few archives back I was talking about the kittens my evil neighbor had and the one that her idiotic friend's kids put in the dryer and killed, looked just like your Bailey and I loved to know where she got them..the other is flame point (orange w/blue eyes) but I never want to speak to her because I truly cannot stand her because of the kittens and I've never met her!!! Enjoy your new baby!!!!!!! BTW..after Jade died and I was looking for a new kitten, I even had a hard time finding a Siamese at ALL. They get snatched up so cute. I used to think they were "mean" because of some I encountered as a kid, but mine have been the most affectionate cats I've ever had. And yes, they do think it's THEIR HOUSE!!!!! Jade never forgave us for bringing in the dog!! Well, she never really accepted the dog, but got spoiled rotten because of her terrain being invaded.

Christiiiiiii - absolutely adorable! A Tonkinese would be brave enough to lay around with two huge pups - gotta be some Tonk in young Bailey.

A rare moment...
(Spot is in front and you can just about see the spot of white on his chest. Trouble is in back. You can see the difference in their sizes, even though they are littermates.)

I'm on the bandwagon, Prison, they are beautiful! I have a question.. Every once in a while, not often, I go into where Leia's litter box is, and there's a piece of poo on the floor, but there's also poo in the litter box. This happens, I think, only in the morning. She sleeps up in our room with us, where there is no litter box. Do you think that maybe she just has to potty so bad that she can't make it all the way to the litter box? We hadn't put a box up in our room because we don't want the dogs digging for "treats." Do any of you have any thoughts?

Saxy, in my experience, that 'outside-the-box-poo' is the last little bit that clung on, and fell off with the jump to the floor. Once in a while a little piece will cling by a hair that is embedded in it while the other end is in the cat. These pieces sometime make it quite a ways into other parts of the house. Both of these occurrences while rare, do happen.

Well.. the thing with the poo this morning is that it was a large piece of poo. Basically she had two normal sized pieces, one in the box, one on the floor. But yeah< i guess it could have been a hair.

Saxy, I have no idea on the 'outside-the-box-poo', as I haven't had that experience yet with little Naiya. But, I did have a lot of success with elevating her litter box so that Whitney doesn't try to eat of out it. I have her litter box up on a cabinet, so she can get up and into it easily, but Whitney can't jump that high. Of course, I don't know how big your dogs are or what their jumping capabilities are! They also make these litter box cabinet things that have offset openings, so that only the cat can get in. I was just too cheap to buy one, when I could work around it!

Saxy, OG's explanation is a good one. Also sometimes my girls are startled by a noise outside or a door slamming and jump out of the box before finishing. Unless Leia isn't using the box at all, I wouldn't worry about it. And yes, OG, those pieces sometimes show up in the strangest places all dried up and shriveled and unrecognizable.

ROFL you guys are too funny!! Cdgba: I have big girls. Sandy is 55 lbs and Mocha is 67. There's really no where in our bedroom we can put a litter box up so they can't get to it! They are crazy little ones. (OOps, I mean BIG ones!)

Prisoner, your kitties are soooo pretty, and Gina...love yours too! My Toby LOVES to get under the covers after I've made the bed. I often wonder how he gets enough air under there, but he seems to!

Trying to make a bed with Ophelia in the room is an exercise in futility. No matter how hard I try, I always end up with a big lump right in the middle of the bed.
