Bamboo's Big Workout
Well, you see, we bought this treadmill- you know, to get fit and all that. Well I got on, and someone joined me. None other than Bamboo, the scaredy cat of the family, the one that doesn't like anything new, who hides (for a while) when company comes to visit. So there I was, speeding along at .5 miles per hour and an incline of 3 when Bamboo bumps me off to see what all this was about. I quick hollered to my husband to get the camera. I couldn't believe what I was witnessing. This was not staged, nor encouraged. And still photography doesn't do it justice...he was moving.
Note BB's tail is straight up. He is excited!
Bamboo slipped off the treadmill only once. After that he got the hang of it.

Bamboo stayed on the treadmill for several minutes. Here, he is investigating the source of the motor sound. His brother is just visible left center, showed absolutely no interest in a fitness program, though he is the one that needs it most. Whenever I go on the treadmill (not enough), Bamboo comes in and sitsonthe ironing board I have near by. I am usually going a little faster than his preferred speed, but he watches me intently.

I think, I mean I know Choppers does this to get attention. He will sit up there perplexed until one of us rescues him. So we are in the Siamese rescue business, sort of. I wonder if he does this when we aren't around? He just may be...and getting down on his own so we are none the wiser!
Rescuing a Siamese! Yes, they need your help!
This is a wonderful resource to adopt a Siamese, learn more about them, or donate your time as a driver, interviewer or foster "meowmy." When I lost my Siamese cat for 9-days (more about that later), the ladies from this organization, who never met me before, were so caring, gracious and helpful. What a bunch of wonderful people.

To Jump or Not to Jump...That is the Question

I was told Siamese are either a lap cat or a shoulder cat. Chop Chop is the jumper. If you visit our house he will likely jump on your shoulder. All of our doors to our house have claw marks on them, thanks to Chop Chop. Here, he is deciding on what I am going to feed him.

Like most wives, I take too long in the bathroom. I drive my husband to the guest bath where he gets no privacy. A guy can't take a shower in peace. After any shower, Bamboo (sitting on the blue towel) hops in the tub and sticks his head under the faucet and waits for the diverter (technical jargon from a plumber's daughter) to drop. Then he attacks the water that gurgles out. We have video of this but it's not digital. Chop Chop in his favorite pose atop a door

and his nose, mysteriously turned pink during his first year. I've been told by breeders that this is probably a genetic trait. I think it makes Chop Chop look like quite the character, which he is, and which you shall soon see!
