This is based on a very unscientific poll.
My first cat was a moggy who just happened to be Siamese. She was siamese coloured but moggy build, moggy temperament. Well, the fighting was done in typical siamese warrier fashion but everything else was normal cat. She made it to 18!
Then when I got married we were given an 8 year old black tom cat who lived with us for 5 very happy years until he disappeared.
The next cat is a snotty torty who still acts like we're going to beat her if we approach her, but at night, when the house is quiet she will permit us to pat her and she'll share the sofa with us. She's been with us for 7 years.
And recently a very streetwise black kitten has appeared in our lives. She plays tough with my son and smooches with the rest of us. She puts up with the torty who is reluctantly coming around. She's marvellous. The previous owner of the black tom stayed with us and couldn't get over how alike the two cats are. A reincarnation perhaps?
I adored my siamese but I think it's the black cats who have stolen my heart!
