Tiki, we have checked out all the Toms in the area but never seen anything like her.
She was really white when she was born and has gradually got darker (and fatter). She is great to cuddle but then they both are.

As I understand it the Tom could have a Siamese recessive gene and not show it himself. Your jinx is definitely part Siamese. I love the appleheads they're much nicer than the new breed Siamese with the very pointed face to my way of thinking.

Sadly the rats are no longer here, they both died last year of old age. I got them from an animal shelter and they were already at least a year old - unfortunately they only live for about two or three years.

Mine all got cancerous lumps, something they are prone to and is genetic (which is why they are NOT suitable for experiments ) But all lived over 2 years

Similar to songbirds, but with a cacophonous din instead of tuneful singing. They look pretty and colourful but just when it is peaceful and quiet, they start arguing @ 100 decibels
...Uh-oh, they're off again!

If only Google Translator could translate bird-speak, then I would be able to find out what it is they're yelling about!!!
