I just found this place (a friend of mine found it actually) and I thought it would be a great idea to sign up here!
Ok, so who am I and why am I here?
I'm Petra. I live in Sweden with my Canadian husband, Ben, and we've been married for 2 years (been together for almost 7). We can't have children (and don't really want them either) so we decided after 3 weeks together with a very charming Siamese cat that we've found the perfect breed for us. In 3.5 weeks two kittens will come and live with us, when they are 12 weeks old.
I've never had a pure bred cat before, neither has my husband. We both have grown up with all kinds of animals but haven't had any animals for many years and now we just felt we needed a few family members to keep ourselves occupied. Having pure bred cats is new, so I'll be snooping around this forum a bit to see if I can pick up a few ideas and tips. And if I can't find it or I'm just my normal confused self, I'll ask some questions. And of course, if you do have Siamese cats, don't hesitate to give me a few good hints here and there.
Be prepared to be presented with pictures of our kittens too.
The most silly thing is; that we haven't come up with a name of one of the kittens since we decided later that we'd take two instead of just one kitten from the litter. So the boy's name will be Sam and the girl's name we have no ideas for. Her breeding name is Rosé Pepper, but since Rose is my husbands ex wife's name, we can't call her Rose. So any suggestions for good names for a girl Siamese that's easy to pronounce both in Swedish (yeah I know, not many know Swedish and "bork bork" it out of the question) and English would be appreciated.
It's hard to tell Sam and his sister apart, they both look alike, so sorry if I only post one picture. It could be Sam or it could be the sister, even if Sam is a tad bigger than her already, it's hard to keep them apart right now.
Clicking on the smaller image above will get you to the photo album with the pictures I took yesterday, when we visited the kittens at the breeders (some other animal pictures is at the beginning, so on page 2 is Sam and his siblings).
I think this will have to do as my first post on this forum. Thanks for reading this far and hope to "chat" with you soon!
