| Peps & Daisy – Bluepoint Siamese CAtz! |
 We would not have ever imagined that we would have siamese cats! Peps came to us only because we couldn’t say no when we saw her little face, we were actually looking for “free” kittens and happened to do it on the only weekend there weren’t any in the newspaper!- When we bred Peps, we never thought that we would take and keep another kitten. We had 3 of Pep’s kittens already spoken for, even before they were born but with the complications at Pep’s non-delivery, we ended up with just the one kitten and we couldn’t give her up.
- They are quite a pair, and it’s wonderful to see Pep’s always be a mother to Daisy. They are both very smart and very social.
- They both have never left the apartment, except to see the vet and to be cared for when we go away. (Herman put Peps in a snowbank once!)
- They have their bizerk moments on a daily basis where they both run after each other in the apartment.
- Peps & Daisy will fetch until they are to pooped to fetch anymore!
- They are the most spoiled cats and live a life of luxury!
- They freak at the sight of a suitcase. They know somethings up and live in our suitcase. It’s not hard to know which suitcase is ours at the airport because our has the most cat hair on it!
