Cats Galore

Yes, it's Monday. Thankfully, we haven't started school yet, but it's just a matter of time till Mom decides that we have to. I've also been thinking about this blog. It used to be my alternative to writing in a journal, but I've gotten way out of the habit of writing on it. Therefore, I'm going to ask Mom to make it a part of my school. I'm thinking, write in it twice a week at least, and writing about interesting things. So today's subject, if I decide to actually follow through with this, is going to be cats. Pretty much all cats, but some cats escpecially. Like which ones are which and how to identify them and so on.

Recently I've been reading a series of mystery books by Lillian Jackson Braun. They're about two Siamese cats, so I thought that Siamese especially would be intersting cats to write about. Here goes.

Siamese, as I've been told, are hard cats to catsit. Certainly my mother thinks so, she has told us stories concerning a certain Siamese who she catsat at one point. Apparently it was not the smartest of cats, as it would not use it's commode (cat litter box) at all. Also, Siamese are incessently loud and can annoy the most patient of people. Mom has a cat that we call her birthday presesnt because she found it on her birthday, and we are almost cerain that it is part Siamese simply because of it's loud and insistent voice. Insistent because it meows almost all the time it there are people nearby, and it becomes even more insistent if it wants to go outside or get more food. Such a cat can be quite a pain because of it's loud voice and small brains. But there is also another point of view on the Siamese.

In the books that I've been reading recently, the two main characters are both Siamese, one of which is thought to be remarkably smart because of it's crime solving capabilities. This cat's name is Kao Ko' Kung, Koko for short. And his female companion's name is Yumyum. No, don't ask me how they got they're names, becuase frankly, I don't know. So, two very different opinions and I haven't ever met a Siamese in person, so I wouldn't know which to believe.
Some other cats with known personalities are several of our own. They aren't pure bred or even close to it, so I call them mutts. Pardon the allusion to dogs. Anyway, we have three cats, and although only two of them are related, they all have the same color coats and one little white spot on their chest. Cyprus, our only female, is the confirmed queen of the house. Beamer the oldest, is our fat cat who lazes around most of the time. Then there's Schafur, the brat. He is the part Siamese I talked about earlier, and is also the most annoying of the three.

So, comments on cats are encouraged.
TTFN, tata for now!
