We found Frankie, ( above ), through craigslist. A back street breeder, as we now call him, advertised a 100% Siamese male kitten for sale. This was to be our second cat as we adopted Molly, the Maine coon mix, six weeks earlier when she was ten months old. The breeder kept putting us off when it came time for the papers on Frankie. We did not need them because Frankie was to be a pet and not used for breeding. There was also paper work from the Vet, we were to receive. We never received them and our phone calls went unanswered. We have followed this person, via craigslist, and as soon as possible another litter was up for sale. These poor cats are being used as an ATM. The day we picked up Frankie, we asked to see the father. We had seen pictures of the mother online but never the father. We were told he was hiding and it would have been difficult to find him. I was surprised because the apartment was about 400 sq. ft. We were smitten with Frankie so nothing else mattered. We do question the 100% Siamese, not that it would make a difference in our relationship with Frankie but to clarify our suspicions about the breeder. We believe Frankie has a bit of Birman in him. He is a wonderful, smart cat and we are all enjoying each other. That was not the case when we brought Frankie home to meet Molly. I will talk about that in another post. Have a great Holiday Season and a wonderful new year.
