Siamese cats are amazing. I'm on my second because the first had some genetic issues. We rescued him around 3-4 years old and got 4 good years with him. I knew something was up when he started spending even more time on my lap than usual (which was a lot) and seemed lower energy, kidney issues are common in them. Got my second about 9 months after he passed when one of my friends rescued a momma and 3 kittens. One didn't make it but the other 2 were strong and my current boy grew up into a big strong kitty. He isn't the lap cat my first one was (yet) but he's still sweet and loving even though he's a brat and a bit of a hellion when he gets worked up lol. Still just a big kitten when he gets going, I'm hoping because his momma was a tabby that he'll be healthier as well. My friend managed to snap a pic of the stray we're pretty sure is his dad, they look super similar lol

Wow that’s a hard pass for me. I loved my boys as kittens but I’m so so happy they’re into zooming only in the morning and evenings now.

Yeah, I'm good, too. I foster kittens all the time and... I need a break. It's like you wake up one day and they learned how to defy gravity and climb walls overnight. I'm actually ignoring some kitten bullshit right now, hopefully they get tired soon.

Lovingly staring at my good boy who is keeping the couch warm. Good grown up kitty lol
