Let me start out by saying that these are not Mr. Keystone's best picture. Okay, he is a Blue Point Siamese, and he is 7 months old. He was brought home to me in Dec b/c Paul thought I had taken one of my older cats to be put down earlier in the day. One of the older cats, Kahlua, has stomach cancer and really does need to be put done, I am just really having a hard time doing it. So imagine the surprise when it was realized that I did not put the older cat down, but to be honest I think Paul actually fell in love with this kitten. Let me explain his name...All of our cats are named after alcohol. We have Amaretto, Kahlua, Tequila, and Bailey. So needles to say we could not break the trend with this little guy, however we were really having a hard time deciding which one to call him. We would call him Captain Morgan for a few days, then it was Bacardi, and then it was Smirnoff for a few days. Well, I guess he was sick of not having a name b/c one night we had some friends over for a couple of beers, Keystone Light beers to be exact. My friend Mary accidentally spilled a little bit of her beer on the end table. That kitten jumped right up and started licking the beer up. And so he became Keystone. The other reason we stayed with that name is b/c his eyes are as blue as the blue on the can of beer. His name doesn't really match the others, but at least it is in the alcohol family. Keystone was brought home for me, but I must say he has become more Paul's cat than mine. He sleeps right next to Paul (under the covers no less), he waits for Paul to get out of the shower in the am, and he sits with Paul while he eats his breakfast. He even goes crazy at Paul's feet when he come home from work every night. This is the first and only cat that we have had that Paul actually likes. Paul will actually pick Keystone up and carry him around the house, it is kind of cute. For being a Siamese, Keystone, has a very sweet disposition. I was a little bit worried about it b/c I have heard horror stories about this breed of cat, but I must say our little Keystone has been wonderful.
