Very attractive cat. I had a brother/sister pair that were similar. Not purebreds, but definitely the Siamese coloring and build. Brother sadly passed away at four years old, sister still with me at 17.These past few weeks are the first time I noticed how big Simon is getting at approximately 10-months old. And the brown in his points and coat is getting darker. What an interesting breed of feline. It's like having a "mood cat".
And he's so ferocious! Grrrrrrr! (Picture was captured mid-meow.)
Here's a kitten picture for reference from the day I got him six months ago.
The male was like a panther, lean and muscular, very athletic, incredibly friendly. Me being young and stupid, had him and his sister declawed, that's something I'll never do again if I get another cat. It was not pleasant, but they healed, they'd climb trees, sun themselves on my garage roof, catch birds and mice, nothing stopped them.
Female has a much different build, heavier, not as in shape as the boy. She's sitting with me now, has become very friendly the past few months. Laying across my arm, on the keyboard, covering the mouse, has become BFFs with my black lab.
Kind of annoying but this is from a cat that I used to see 3-4 times a month. She ate the food I put out, used the litter box, so I knew she was alive somewhere in the house. I welcome her suddenly being so affectionate.
