Siamese & Orientals

First of all, I wanted to make a few corrections. A Siamese is a Siamese, & if you go back & LOOK at the CFA yearbooks from 30 years ago or more, the type was ALWAYS this way, & the pointed gene is present in the domestic population, so what people are calling Thais, aren't really Siamese at all. They are pointed domestics who have developed pedigrees. Yes, they "may" have some "real" Siamese back in the pedigrees, but they could also have pointed Russians, or pointed Korats back in there. Korats & Russians don't allow or recognize their pointed kittens.

We breed these cats on a small basis, & they are absolutely WONDERFUL cats. They are elegant, playful, & snuggly with very few health issues other than liver & kidney issues, & those are rare, & found more in the Oriental LH than the SH.

Instead of just using Helmi, why not ask permission to use one of CFA's best photographers? Chanan? He takes AMAZING photos!

Thank you for comments and a great photograph. I always like peoples' views. About Helmi. She has very generously agreed to allow me to publish her photos on the site. So she has donated them for this site's benegit as it is about cat welfare and a good proportion of money raised goes to charitable concerns.

Helmi is also the best cat photographer, in my view. And I don't think Chanan would want to show his photos on this site unless he sold me a limited right to do so. Also it might upset Helmi and the last thing I want to do is that. Helmi is a very generous person. And I am eternally grateful to her. Without her help this site would not be what it is.

But if Chanan wants to and if Helmi accepts that, of course, I am fine with it.
