We are Siamese, if you please

We adopted a cat! It's "our" first pet, a big, beautiful half-Siamese (and half something long-haired) 1-and-a-half year old guy we have affectionately named "Major FitzHugh," Fitz, for short. FitzHugh was JEB Stuart's chief of staff for several years during the Civil War, until he was captured by the Union during a raid with Robert E. Lee's battle plans in his pocket. Oops. But apparently he was a pretty good guy, and spent a lot of time with the Sioux out West before being forced to enter the war.

Anyway, FitzHugh was a stray we adopted out of the Ft. Collins Cat Rescue. Someone neutered him before dicthing him, but he's completely sweet and loveable. He's also FIV positive (like HIV for cats), but is currently completely healthy. The virus, though, was keeping people from adopting for the same reason people used to be afraid of HIV positive people. So basically, its entirely unwarranted; we just have to be a little more aware of his health, as his immune system is not as strong as normal cats'. The vet said that most FIV cats live long, healthy lives. Plus, he's gorgeous! I know these shots are great, but he moves around a lot, following his curisoity. And he tries to open and get into everything!
