You can certainly borrow them. Pumpkin is a Himalayan/grey tabby mix, but for the sake of simplicity we think of him as a Siamese, yes. He's got the colouring and coat texture of a Himalayan, but with the coat length of the tabby in him. He's a bit curmudgeonly sometimes, but he's very handsome and regal, and incredibly, incredibly conscious. Smudgie is "calomese", or so the shelter people called her - part siamese, part calico. She's goofy and adorable and soo loving and sweet. Our last cat was a tortie, actually. She was standoffish, as torties can sometimes be. But she loved my mum.
Cherry Who?
