Cats Going Crazy

woke up to the sound of cats using my bedroom for a playground again - they love to wake me up in the mornings (and in the middle of the night!). Ginny, Axel and Phoenix can be so noisy (esp when trying to leap through closed windows).
Celeborn was in Steffi's room all night rubbing up against her demanding his dose of patting from her - so cute!
Phoenix was in Lily's room some of the night sleeping on her bed.
Itty Bitty is currently having a tantrum due to above cats getting attention - poor baby!
Shadow, Snuffy, Simba and Star sleep outside at night so they are in Itty Bitty's good books this morning!

The Myth of Siamese Cats

Siamese cat myths often tell of humans whose souls have stayed for a time in the body of this royal cat. It is a cat of longevity, and a cat that confers longevity to its owner. Siamese cats don't like to be patronized or trifled with, and their wish is to be with one person, or perhaps two people at one time. Once, in its long history, the Siamese cat was the guardian of the King of Siam's children, and this accounts for the diversity in the cat's vocalisation. No cat has more to say than does the Siamese. If you do not talk to this cat, he will challenge you to do so! If he thinks you are being too quiet, he will put his paw to your lips to make you talk! 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!

It is said that Siamese were once sacred cats with jobs guarding the Buddhist temples. One day, a valuable cup went missing and a pair of cats was dispatched to find the stolen treasure. After a long journey, the cup was discovered and the female cat stayed to guard it while her male partner went back to tell the good news. So worried was she that the cup might go missing again, that she wound her tail tightly around its stem and it became permanently kinked. For days and nights she sat watching over the prized cup and by the time her partner returned, her eyes had developed a squint. Later she produced a litter of kittens - all of which had kinked tails and squints, because of her vigilance in guarding the lost treasure.

A Siamese princess who, fearing that her rings would be stolen, entrusted her Siamese cat to guard them, placing them on its tail for safekeeping overnight. The cat fearful of losing the rings developed a kink in its tail to prevent them falling off.
