Why do Siamese cats get sick easily?
My piano teacher owns five or six (indoor) Siamese cats. They are very well taken care of; however, they seem to get sick really easily. One of them recently died of a mutated version of peritonitis and was only three-years-old. I’ve also known other people with purebred cats and those cats get sick easily. Me and my husband only have owned mixed breed cats. Our current set are over six years old and they have had no major health problems whatsoever. Is the reason that purebred cats more sick is because there is inbreeding at the “catteries”?
I think you’re on to something with your inbreeding idea. It’s a pretty well-documented fact that lots of purebred animals carry double recessive genes which is the cause of many health problems. And of course, inbreeding is one of the causes of double recessive genes.
I’ve bought the occasional purebred animal (frankly, I usually adopt from a shelter) and I like to give the pedigree a good going-over. Lots of breeders “line breed” which is deliberately breeding related animals together because they think the positives outweigh the negatives.
Lots of pedigrees are available online to members of the various breeding and registering organizations.
I’m with you–kittymutts are the way to go!

Trouble Is $6.26 It’s not hard to understand the appeal of Kenny Wayne Shepherd, currently being hailed as the heir to Stevie Ray Vaughan. He’s young (an increasing rarity in blues and blues-related genres), he writes catchy songs, and his “Blue on Black” is widely played on rock radio. Trouble Is . . . is an enjoyable listen, from rockers like “Slow Ride” and “Chase the Rainbow,” to swingy mid-tempo songs like “T… |

Wuthering Heights [VHS] $4.88 One of the most compelling tragic romances ever captured on film, Wuthering Heights is an exquisite tale of doomed love and miscalculated intentions. Though only half of Emily Bronte’s classic tale of Heathcliff and Catherine was filmed by director William Wyler, it lacks for nothing. The story begins when a Yorkshire gentleman farmer brings home a raggedy gypsy boy, Heathcliff, and raises him a… |

Typically played on stage and in previous film p… |

Titanic [VHS] $7.20 Although it was never known for strict authenticity, the elegant 1953 production of Titanic holds just as much fascination as A Night to Remember and James Cameron’s 1997 blockbuster.
