    The pattern is typical of the breed. So is the stance in the LHS
picture. She *is* a very good example of the Siamese temple cat shape, but
the colouring (lilac) is rarer than usual. I think she's gorgeous, but I am
prejudiced. :-)

    Naturally she is spoiled rotten. From your comments I take it that you
prefer the Salem Saberhagen style of cat?

    Maybe we should take this conversation to a more appropriate echo?

Best Wishes,
Bill.
