After the death of my first baby, Nikki (1984-2004), I wanted to find 2
Seal Point Siamese girls and contacted Siam-Moon, an Arizona cattery that is run
from a home, where the kittens roam freely, to put down a deposit on 2 girls
from an October 2004 litter...A few months later, I was informed one of my girls
was Balinese (a genetic mutation=a Siamese with long hair) and I could decline
and wait for another litter if I wanted; I had no idea what a Balinese was, but
checked it out and called back that day to say I wanted them, no matter what...I
had surgery in January 2005 so my Dad drove to Dallas, TX (about 3 hours one
way) to pick up Calle/Halle from the airport; they were 3 months old and so
tiny=1.8 and 2.2 lbs!!...Calle, my Balinese, is named for Calista, which is
Greek for "most beautiful" and Halle, my Siamese, is named for Halle Berry, the
beautiful Catwoman!...I became email friends with Stephanie, the woman who owns
the Arizona cattery and in April 2008, she wrote to me about needing to place
some kitties and she wanted me to take Suki, a Balinese; I turned her down
because 2 kitties in my house was plenty after living with just 1 for 20 years
and I had Mommy Cat and Daddy Cat outside as well!...Steph said Suki was a
special 1 year old who recently had her first litter of kittens but was not a
good mother because she was a kitten at heart herself; Suki needed someone who
would give her lots of attention and loving...I thought about it for a few days
and told Steph if she couldn't find anyone else, I would take Suki; she told
me she knew in her heart Suki belonged with me, so I listened "to the universe",
let go of my hesitations and I went to Dallas in June 2008 with my parents to
pick her up from the airport (it took a few months because she had to nurse her
babies)...Within minutes of picking Suki up, she reminded me so much of
my Nikki=she was extremely loving and immediately felt like MY baby, she curled
up in my lap, purring for the drive home!...On the drive home from the airport,
after looking at her registered papers, I realized Suki is a full biological
sister to Calle and Halle!...Her name was Suki, but I added the extra K to make
her name 5 letters with double consenants like my other girls (even
Nikki!...Mommy/Daddy too!)...Sukki follows me everywhere and is the most
lovable, social cat I have ever had=she was such a wonderful gift and I can't
imagine my home without her...and somehow, I think my Nik brought her to
me.
