26 years ago, a hideous, abominable creature entered my house. In his hands, he held a weapon of uttermost powermost (most). He entered my kitchen, catching my mother's back at him so he decided to attack by surprise. But my mother heard his steps (hideous abominable creatures are rarely stealthy) and my mother turned herself towards the hideous abominable creature. So the hideous abominable creature opened his hands to show the weapon...

...A little (littlemost) 2 months old traditional siamese cat called Ilargi (ilargi means moon) and there began a love story for 18 years.

Trivia: siamese cats were called "wichien-maat" (in siamese), which means "moon diamond". Theres a new breed of thai cats which have been named with that ancient name. Traditional siamese cats have actually european face and body features, they looked exotic but not "asian". Thus they were breeded to be leaner and thinner, with these long acute faces. That's the modern siamese. If you look at the first siamese photographs around the turn of the XX century, traditional siamese cats look nothing like the two bad ones in the Aristocats. Siamese cats are considered among the most smart breeds of cats - tho most cats are deviously smart.

More trivia: my cat's favourite toys were either a small ball made of tin foil, or a hazelnut. Both were light and made fun sounds against the wooden floor. She'd play with them as if in soccer, dribbling all around the aisles at incredible speeds. She also loved ham. When small (2-3 months) she'd jump 2 meters (about 6 feet) high from standing still if 2 meters up her was a piece of ham. She also liked white asparagus, and sometimes her human slaves. She also knew how to open closed doors; but discovered that crying next to one would make a human run to open it for her.

It's traditional in these cases to put a giveaway, but literally I only have a couple heavily region restricted ones, so I'm sorry. I hope you at least like the pics, which I've already posted before.

(On a side note, recently it was June the 1st; my grandma would have been 111 years old that day. She disliked cats, but liked Ilargi.)

Edit: btw, I've put her in a contest to make a few cats characters in a game. I'm around rank 40. If you'd vote, it'd mean lots to me!

I'm happy that your cat gave your such joy and sorry that such joy is now gone.

But you had it once, lots of people don't know that happiness, always cherish it!

Have a great day and thanks for sharing your memories :)

I thought this was some extract from a horror novel......then after the weapon was revealed to be a siamese kitten,I understood that this was a Cat-ilicious post.The cat looks cute and proud.I didn't know Siamese were the smartest.Had lots of cats throughout my life but the Orange Tabby was the smartest we had in our house.

Ilargi, such a beautiful name for a beautiful girl! Omg yes, my cats also go crazy for tin foil balls and also ping pong balls. What a clever girl, choosing to make her human slaves come open her door! She sounds like she was very loved, thank you for sharing your story with us. She has my vote! :)

They've not sent me spam at all. Only the access link to enter, instead of having to make an account with email and password. That site is legit AFAIK.

Siamese are the most intelligent cats, I'd say. Not the friendliest, but clearly the most intelligennt.

Voted for Ilargi :)
