Does your cat talk to you? Our little buddy Einstein says hello with a dinstinctive "meh", when he hasn't seen us in a while, and he gives us each a peck [actually a tooth drag] on the forehead when he comes to bed.

Foofer has this ritual that is now repeated by his siblings. He approaches me, bows his head down, and extends his left paw to touch my lips. They all do this like some sort of homage. It's really weird. They do this whenever they meet me. They keep their heads bowed until after they touch my lips.

Both of my guys, Elvis and Wyatt come when you call them. They are incredibly smart...when they feel like proving it to you.

Ooh! Siameseses! :!) :!)

We are siam-e-ese if you plea-ese.
We are siam-e-ese if you don't please!
We are former residents of Siam --
There are no finer cats than WE-am! :approve:

We used to have a Siamese named Zoe. He was quite a talker, as are most cats of that breed I have known.

Elvis is a bit. It's not terribly noticeable unless you are really looking for it. They're talkers. That's for sure.

Come on folks...let's see some more pics!
