Yup, the rear elevation establishes conclusively that SHE is a girl. She looks a little heavier than in the other photo, but I can see her ears really well and they look quite nice. (She's also obviously a TOTALLY HAPPY cat - look at that Siamese smile and scrunched around tail).

I'm really just teasing about the breeder, some of 'em are really funny about "their" cats - they never really let them go. I used to take my champion back to "visit" his "birth family" - he was a son of Hatcher Granville's oldest tom (Sonnenhof's Apache of Barba) and was always glad to see him. He would call on all his cousins and uncles and aunts - he made best friends with Hatcher's "boss neuter" Kinkajou (they looked a lot alike) and they would "walk the rounds" around the house, shoulder to shoulder, making sure that all the kittens and queens were behaving themselves.

I'll bet what happened is that somebody bought a breeder's kitten and then couldn't put up with the Siamese voice or the Siamese personality, and rather than return the kit just dumped it by the side of the road. You might take a head shot, front and side (like a mug shot) and circulate it to local breeders seeing if they recognize her. There is a strong family resemblance in most breeders' bloodlines - I could have picked any of MY kittens out of a lineup! :-D

I thought that couch pose would help. That's when she might have been six months old. Having had a multi-cat household all my life, maybe 30 or 40 cats, I can confidently say that this is the happiest cat I have ever seen. She's got tremendous chutzpah yet is the gentlest pet. She's a genius, too. :)

My husband's theory, and he's sticking with it, is that someone dump them. Maybe the pair were a gift and the giftee didn't want them. I heard the animal control officer who kept the male, said the boy was a sealpoint.
