(13,324 posts)I have no doubt that if cats had a concept of language they would consider "human" an insult.
BTW that looks like a Himalayan with Siamese coloring and eyes. Or is it just a long-haired Siamese?

(17,621 posts)The breed was created by crossing and recrossing Siamese with Persians. Longhaired Siamese are called Balinese.

(13,324 posts)And my 11-year-old cat, Bob, happens to be a (short-hair) Siamese mix - he has the black 'n tan coloring and the blue eyes.
Brigid
(17,621 posts)His papa was unknown. Hamlet was blue and white with no tabby markings and copper eyes. He had the typical stocky Persian body. His mom's owner said she may have seen the dad. If she did, he was a large blue longhair.

(13,324 posts)But her mother had the Siamese "look" - whether or not she was a purebred - so I guess it just skipped a generation.
Brigid
(17,621 posts)They have that slender Siamese (foreign) body type and come in several different solid (self) colors and tabby patterns. Or maybe she was just a Siamese mix.

(13,324 posts)As I understand it, that's the "classic" Siamese as opposed to the "modern."
Brigid
(17,621 posts)And I prefer the classic. They're called apple heads.

(13,324 posts)I figure he doesn't need anyone to inflate his ego - cats in general already think very highly of themselves, seems to me.
Brigid
(17,621 posts)Brigid is black, and Ruby is black and white.
nomorenomore08
(13,324 posts)He is relatively friendly with other cats, though, so he might be down with a couple of playmates.
