Mommy's sick so Pumpkin & I need a new home. My name is Angel, I'm a 3 year old Flame Pointe Siamese cat and my big brother's name is Pumpkin. He just turned 4 and is also a Flame Pointe (we aren't really brother and sister but have been together since we were kittens). Our Mommy loves us so much but due to her failing health, can no longer take care of us. We are wonderful, loving cats who like to play, snuggle and still have our claws. Our home has lots of beautiful things and we've NEVER scratched anything. Mommy keeps our nails trimmed and has two scratch posts that we use all the time. (More information from Mommy) Angel is a wedge head Siamese cat who is very snuggly and playful but has also been labeled by our vet as being "orally fixated". He has been known to chew through very thin electrical cords (cell phone charger cords and Christmas tree lights) as well as nipping people sometimes. The cord chewing I've attributed to him being frustrated but the nipping can occur when he is purring and relaxed in a very happy state. I have found that putting bitter cat spray on electrical cords mitigates his desire to chew on them. Angel is very shy in new environments but warms up within a day or so. With other animals, once he's comfortable, he tries to establish himself as the dominant animal. Angel can usually be found somewhere around me and loves to be held and snuggled as well as playful. His favorite game is what we call "prey"....he puts one of his stuffed animals into his mouth and goes up to Pumpkin and makes a growling sound (which she totally igornes). He also will throw his stuffed animals into the air and chase them around. While Angel is more dependent and insecure, Pumpkin is the opposite, being a very indepenent and secure cat. She is an 'apple-head' Siamese who loves to play but is also content sleeping most of the time. Pumpkin also likes to be around me but isn't as snuggly as Angel. She adapts very quickly to any new environment and seems to thrive quickly. I got Angel to keep her company but am convinced I broke her heart in bringing a new kitty into her home. They both play and get along well but I think she would also do well alone in a good home. Both cats are used to be bathed at least once a month, teeth & hair brushed regularly and nails trimmed every other week. They get rewarded with cat treats after their "grooming" sessions. They are also very obedient, they know what it means when I say "that's a no, no" without even raising my voice. They both also know what "bad kitty" means which is reserved only for very bad behavior. When Angel has bitten/nipped, it's been very effective to put him in a "time out" (suggested by my vet). Time out entails putting him in a small room such as a bathroom or my laundry room with the light off for 5-15 minutes. This only happens if he does something very bad and is caught directly in the act of doing it, (books and my vet advise that if not caught in the act, the animal will not associate the punishment with the action, rather it would be considered abuse and confuse the animal) he's told he's been a bad kitty and goes into time out. Since the cats are bathed regularly, I have never used the behavior modification technique of spraying water at them due to the negative association it might create. It is with the heaviest heart that I am placing my cats up to be re-adopted. My health continues to fail and I just cannot care for them as they should be.
