Dono de siamês é assim
You expressed an interest in knowing something about my Siamese cat "Catherine." She was given to me while I was filming "The Heiress," by one of the technicians on the picture, who raises Siamese cats. The role I was playing in the movie was Catherine Sloper, and so I named my new pet "Catherine." I had never been fond of cats, but this little creature, being Siamese and having all the remarkable traits of that breed, inspired my affection and admiration almost at once. She was extremely shy at first, almost neurotically timid, but we gave her a great deal of affection, and very quickly she developed into a really autocratic, domineering, and thoroughly engaging, personality.
My husband and I, a few months after she joined our household, made an automobile trip from California to Canada. We had decided to leave our Airedale and Catherine behind at the veterinarian's. When we took Catherine down to what we thought was to be her temporary home, she clung to us so desperately that we found we could not bear to leave her behind. We got back into the car, taking Catherine with us. On our way up the Coast we stopped at a hardware store and my husband was able to secure an enamel pan there and two little bowls which fitted into a wire frame, for her food and water. We found she was an ideal companion and since that time has been with us everywhere.
On the one time we did leave her behind, we learned that we could actually make no choice about whether or not she would be with us in the future. Mr. Goodrich and I made a trip to San Antonio, Texas, soon after our return from Canada. This time we went by train, and since we did not know it is permissible to take an animal with one on board, providing one has a carrier for it, we left Catherine at the veterinarian's. We returned five days later to find that she had developed pneumonia. The veterinarian explained that this was induced by her emotional state and he recommended that she remain with us at home all during her illness and convalescence. He made two house calls a day, administered penicillin, and she pulled through.
She is devoted to my son, who is 29 months old, and allows him numerous privileges she would not permit me. One day he walked into my room carrying her upside down; she dangled perfectly limp and docile in his arms, though I can assure you her reaction to my handling her in this way would hardly be the same. She eats beef, horse meat, shrimp, mackerel and salmon. She can not bear milk, and she seems to need very little water. She knows when I leave the elevator on my return from the theatre at night, and though I may not be saying a word coming down the hall, she is so sure that it is I, that she is already scolding me from the other side of the door, as I approach my room.


With all good wishes,


Yours sincerely,
