My great great grandmother breed and showed Siamese cats. As a child there were a couple in my home and in every member of my families. I have grown up around cats and dogs (cats mostly). I have over the period of 21 years owned eight cats and do own two females cats at present. My male cat sadly passed away recently at the grand old age of seventeen and a half. I love and adore, spoil, play, cuddle, brush, take care of, make time for and talk to the animals (including any when I´m out and about). I consider any animal a part/member of the family and not just a pet.
