Those of you who read the gardening blog know that we have two brother and sister Siamese cats, Yin and Yang, who are 6 years old now. They are real characters and give us endless pleasure.
Well, here we have a visiting Siamese. He showed up about a fortnight ago, announcing his presence with the classic loud Siamese yowl. He came twice a day at mealtimes and for a while I wouldn't feed him, as he disappeared at night and I thought he must have an owner. He didn't look uncared for and was friendly enough, albeit a bit strange with half a tail and cross eyes!
You won't be surprised to learn that things escalated once I gave him breakfast. He's now taken up position on D's favourite chair on the patio and yowls in the evening for dinner when ours get fed. No, I'm not going to give him any until/unless I find out if he has an owner; so I'm ready to put a notice up locally on a telegraph pole.
Our two are tolerant of him, but get spooked when he tries to get in the house. Last night after creating a racket outside he got on his hind legs outside the sitting room window (which looks onto the patio) and banged with both front paws on the window. I think he's very determined to adopt us. Watch this space.......

Ah, the saga continues!
Having known cats all my life including, at once time, a pair of Siamese, it sounds to me like you have a new feline member of the household and just haven't realized it yet.
Resistance is futile, you know...
Yes, it does Barbee - see below.
'Aint that the truth, Ronnie. He's getting dinner now and follows me round the garden.
No-one's claimed him yet, so next stop the vet to stop him spraying everywhere.
Gorgeous cats! Do you by any chance remember the children's cartoon series on the BBC in the 1950s aboout a SIamese cat called Tai-Lu? It was based on the books by Shelagh Fraser and Billy Thatcher, which had wonderful illustrations by Janet & Anne Grahame- Johnstone. I had at least one of the Tai-Lu books once upon a time . . .
Hi D. Tai-Lu - lovely name. I didn't see the programme. We didn't have t.v. until 1955 and by then I had so much homework, I didn't get much time - nose always stuck in a book.
