Siamese cats
Why, God, why do we keep them? Truly the oddest animal I have ever had. Does anyone else own one? And do you know why they are so odd?

This is Izzy, part dog, other part alien. She is just such an odd duck. She is at the dog 24/7. They fight, fight, fight and then nap together. She is so much like Bucky in the Get Fuzzy comic strip.

2. Very regal
Doesn't it crack you up that they are so perfectly poised every time you get the camera out.

3. All the Asian and middle Eastern breeds
Siamese, Tonkinese (sp?), Somali, Abyssinian, Turkish Angora (like my Puck), Oriental and Bombay; they don't know that they're cats. They don't know the meaning of "personal space", or that when you speak, you're not always speaking to them. They get frustrated when you don't understand exactly what they're saying, and I have no doubts that they receive messages from the mother ship daily. ;-)

5. I think it's wonderful that our three cats let us live in their house
although if they ever figure out how the can opener works, we'd get the boot for sure.

Libby is a siamese/tabby mix but her attit- cattitude, I mean, is pure siamese.

6. Me too
Our Siamese always makes me feel so inferior...as she does the rest of the household. It is her house and she will run it as she pleases thank you?!
