Hi There! My name is Suzi. I'm the owner of Texas Thai-A-Mese Cattery and our two current queens, Aravis & Skylar. I live on a farm in central Texas with my family. Our back pastures are dotted with red and black cows contently munching grass while their calves lay curled up napping in sunshiny piles of hay. In the spring the front pasture is full of mama sheep chasing after the newborn lambs. (Lambs take alot of chasing, and they can be a pain to catch!) Spring time is my favorite time of the year, it means the grass is turning green, I can dig my hands into the dirt and soak up the sun, and spring also means, baby lambs! I can say from personal experience, if you never pushed little seeds into the dirt and watched them break open and send little shoots of green plants up toward the sun or never held a newborn lamb, born only an hour ago, you're missing out on some of the most enjoyable things in life. We also raise Chickens, Ducks, Sheep Dogs, and kids, (and they're no easy thing!) Apart from all these things, I had always wanted something that was mine, and only mine. I wanted something to love, raise, and be responsible for. Off and on from the time I was real small, I would beg my Mom to buy me a Siamese cat. The answer was always no, but I still longed for one. I loved their thin wheaten bodies, dark, slender paws, and their beautiful sapphire eyes standing out starkly against the dark, masked face. I had an audio story when I was younger about three family pets who had been left with a friend traveled across hundreds of miles of unpopulated wilderness to reach their family who had taken an extended trip. one of the trio was a Siamese Cat, and I was enthralled. from there I began to look up the history on the Siamese, and how the Egyptians were the first to adopt Siamese as pets. Way back then Siamese cats were considered royalty. it was punishable by death to kill a Siamese Cat. Also, one thing that that interested me was how Siamese acquired their kinked tails. As I said above, they were considered royalty, and through the generations, many of Pharaoh's Daughters owned a Siamese as their personal pets or servants. The cats would accompany their mistress's down to the river, where she and her servants when to bathe. the Princess and her servants would slip all their rings onto the tail of their attending cat. To keep the rings from slipping off, the Egyptians kinked the Long, black tails. From that time on, I knew that I wanted the real thing. from time to time I would look on my own for the real Siamese that I knew existed somewhere. All I could find was cats that resembled Siamese, they ether had small, apple-shaped heads, or they had long, angular shaped heads. Not the slender body and head of a true cat with Siam ancestry.
