[/quote]she's adorable! i'm curious, what makes that specific kind of cat "hypoallergenic"? [/quote] When people are allergic to cats, they are allergic to their dander. Dander contains flecks of saliva left over from the cats cleaning themselves. In their saliva is a protein FEL D1 that is what causes MOST allergies, not all. Siberians produce a fraction (200mcg as opposed to 63,000mcg) of this dander in their saliva, so any allergic reactions MAY be reduced. I had to test with the breeder before going on a wait list for over a year for her. If I pet her and rub my eyes, they still water, but I can breathe around her and that makes her priceless! ;D

I may have to bribe Chris (my bf) into getting one of these. He's really allergic to cats too. I love kitties though.

I don't know how to post pics either. *embarrassed face* Could someone let me know, too? PM is fine! (Since my username has my 2 dogs' names in it, I suppose I should post their pictures!)

Well, you asked Toby is technically my dad's (and he lives with my parents), but I love him to pieces. Sparks is my mom's but I show him Champion Norman's Liberty Cloud Dancer, Junior Hunter- Diann, my only Weim now and the mother to boys below American/Canadian Champion Liberty's Zane Gray (father to the boys below) And then Champion Liberty's All Inclusive and American/Canadian Champion Liberty's All in One the loves of my life who I lost 3 and 2 years ago respectively

This is my pug, Piglet, making her "serious" face. She was a Christmas gift from my boyfriend. She'll be 5 in November.

This pretty girl is my Bluetick Coonhound "High Rock Blue Amazing Grace" or "Gracie". She will be 13 years old on Dec. 31st, 2009 and I have had her since the day she was born. This handsome fella is our Beagle, Jack, commonly known as "Jackie Boy". He was given to us by a fellow that my husband cut a tract of timber for. We gave him to Harrison as an Easter Bunny gift a couple of years ago. He is such a sweet boy and I am hoping to get another beagle soon. We also have a beautiful black cat named Chi-Chi that wandered up on our property around 8 years ago. He is our little "mouser" around the farm. (Chi-Chi is my little sweet baby boy This baby boy is my adopted son Chief. He is a Siberian owned by my friend Kimmie that I work with. He comes to our office and visits quite frequently Lastly, this is Puss In Boots. He belongs to my friend Cheryl and he LOVES my husband!! Cheryl owns a convenience store and Puss lives there at the store! What a handsome boy!

Kathleen - How did the cat's name end up as Pig? It's a cute name for a cat and reminds me of Babe when the farmer was like "That'll do pig, that'll do" lol
