Jeep "I am Siamese if you please"

Description

Jeep is the brother to Houston, Alice and Rouser and is our Siamese. He is very friendly lives on the back porch and yard but is not a big fan of the camera. He has intense blue eyes. Right now he has some kind of fungus or spots on his back so twice a week I have to get in the tub and bathe him with a special solution and leave it on for 5 min. He hates it and howls till we dry him. It cured him of same problem a year ago.

I think you are one incredibly brave guy, Emile--wow, in a tub with a cat who hates the process. And I'll bet those howls are ear shattering, given that he's Siamese. #1570803

You sure do put yourself in the line of fire with a cat and a tub of water. But we do what we have to. That is one fantastic story Emile. And you got a beautiful picture of the main character in the story. Them eyes are gorgeous, what a blue. #11028280

Love the blue eyes. Wonderful capture and story. I think you go beyond the call of duty when it comes with your cats. #11028317

I would be wary of the claws in his right paw Emile! A beautiful cat and capture, I hope he gets well soon! #11028345

I have to hold both front paws to keep from being scratched. Thanks Mitch, Frank, Tammy and John. #11028362

You are one of the most nurturing (if not THE most) people I've ever encountered. This cat is beautiful. Unfortunately for me, I am allergic to cat dander, and unbearably so to Siamese cats. My loss. #11028392

You're taking great care of him, Emile! Jeep is a lucky boy! What beautiful eyes he has and this is such a wonderful portrait of him as well! #11028441

A beautiful portrait Emile - love how the colour of his eyes is echoed in the background. You are doing an amazing job my friend! #11028585

I'm pleased we don't have to bath Rango, she lets us know when we are doing anything she doesn't like. You should have heard her when she got her annual injections today at the vets!! Jeep sure has stunning eyes, great portrait of him. #11028667

I just know how much cats hate water, so you deserve full credit for doing this, Emile. He has just the most adorable blue eyes, they are a perfect math for the blanket behind. What a real beauty, Emile! #11028788

Hi Emile.
I had to take a second look, this beautiful cat looks so much like our cat Harley! Vivid blues and all. Plus, he's experiencing the same skin condition.
Beautiful pic, Emile. #11028849

Such pretty blue eyes! You are either crazy or very brave to take a bath with your cat :-) #11029868

Emile Abbott level-deluxe April 25, 2014

A little bit of both. #11030191
