I'm sorry they keep having tooth issues--I think that is unfortunately more common for the wedge-shape headed siameses. I'm glad the extractions worked, despite the expense and hope Elsa stays healthy much longer now and they don't' prove to be weak. I lost my first own siamese at 9 with IBD, and I think too much stress from moving, being high-strung to begin with, and it was a very traumatic loss for me. I had 2 domestic shorthairs in between and I had Milli 2 years but couldn't stay meezer-free too long and found Saki 3 years later and fell in love and she lived with Milli for 9 years. Saki was healthy her first 12-13 years and made it to 17, so I can't complain about her longevity. But it was very hard work keeping her alive and getting her healthier the last 3 years. No amount of time would have been enough to be with her though.

All my family cats were/are siamese. The first siamese I grew up lived to be 14 and was pretty healthy until near the end and died from kidney disease. Our next, Pyewacket only made it to 9 with cancer, but then we got a brother and sister siamese, Yoda and Turandot, who both made it to 18, though Turie had hyperthyroidism for only a couple of years before the end. Then they got 2 sister siameses, who are 10 now and live with my brother.

I love Moo and Tuxie, but they are domestic shorthairs and are so quiet and less socially smart. But I'm only allowed 2 cats here, so Tuxie has been here on the sly. Now we are legal with only 2 and I can relax about that. I'm going to be hurting without my spirited Saki meezer for a long, long time. She was such a love. Much pic spam of her will be following on this journal for a little while. I have a great many I never posted.
