Shamu is a Siamese cat.  She definitely has a mind of her own.  She is very loveable but is shy when around strangers.  Shamu talks a lot.  When I call her name she will answer me.  She loves to ride in my truck and will spend hours in the front seat with me and not complain.  Shamu is a very good hunter and one time caught a squirrel.  She brought it to the house but released it unharmed when she realized she was not going to be allowed to bring the squirrel into the house.

Chibi is our male Tonkinese cat.  He is very people oriented.  Everyone seems to  love him and he returns the love.  The Tonkinese cat is a cross between the Siamese and the Burmese cat.  The goal was to have a cat with the Siamese markings and Burmese affection for people.  They have succeeded with Chibi.  He is extremely strong and can jump to the top of a six foot fence from the ground.  He seems to purr constantly especially when petted or placed in my arms.
