Moche came to us from an owner who could no longer care for him. Imagine having to give up such a jewel of a cat!

 

This handsome fellow is a true gentleman - he's mellow, affectionate and very polite. He has settled into his foster home with no problems at all and we are confident he'll fit into his forever home as if he's been there his whole life!

 

Foster update 11/11/09:

Moche is really coming out of his shell. He purrs so loud when I go into the room to visit him. Sounds like a motor. He loves to he held and petted. This cat was definitely a single cat. I do not understand how someone could give him up.

I have 5 other cats and I have been working for the last two weeks to indoctrinate him to a multiple cat household. It is slow going, but he is now coming down the stairs on his own, venturing out to see what's up. My cats hiss at him, but do not attack, but Moche has chased down three of my cats so far. It will just take time. I recommend that Moche live in a single cat home.

 

Foster update: 10/13/09:

Moche's first night in foster care - He did great, came right out of the cat carrier. He is in a very large bonus room, has it to himself. Acting like a King. Stretching out on the arm of the couch in the sun. He is so happy to be out of the cage, Purring up a storm and rolling over to be petted. I cleaned him with cat wipes, and brushed him really good. His coat is so soft. He likes to crawl up under my big overstuffed chair and sleep. So much for the big cat bed I bought him.

 

 

 

According to the Cat Fancier's Association, www.cfa.org, this ancient breed, perhaps the oldest of all our cats, is able to communicate like no other. The Siamese voice is legendary. They speak both with their voice and with their body. They are the quintessential “people” cat, for they love to be in your lap, on your bed, at your table--and in your heart! Siamese have fascinated folks around the world since they were first officially exported from Thailand, or as it was known then Siam, in the late eighteen hundreds. Their sleek lines, striking color contrast, finely chiseled aristocratic heads, deep blue almond eyes, and short silky coats make them living art. Combine this beauty with acute intelligence, inquisitive personality and a loving nature and you have the essence of the Siamese cat. The first Siamese to appear in Englandwere a gift from Siam to an ambassador who brought them home. They began appearing in English cat shows almost immediately, and in American shows by the early twentieth century. Seal points, still the best known variety, were the first to arrive. With their seal brown, almost black extremities and their pale fawn bodies, they were sensational. While chocolate points, with creamy white bodies and milk chocolate legs, tail, mask and ears did appear from time to time, it was the blue point that gained official recognition in 1934. The blue point has a bluish-white body with slate blue points. The chocolate point was recognized next. In 1955 the lilac point followed and completed the breed. The lilac point has pinkish gray points with a white body which makes it most ethereal and delicate in color. For more information on cat breeds visit www.cfainc.org
