my Nana got me Basil for my 12th birthday bc our cats kept dieing of weird diseases. She told me she was going to get be a purebred cat that wouldn't come with any diseases - like kitty aids or leukemia. So, i got out the cat books and decided which breed i wanted. Originally it was a Scottish Fold bc they're scottish & like to swim and so am i (i'm wearing our swim team shirt in that pic up there - i still have it - actually what's more scary? this blog or having a shirt for 12 years?). Anyway, i think i was teetering between a Scottish Fold & a Siamese when i decided i'd get a Siamese bc they have blue eyes (like me) and kind of look like Casper - which i was obsessed with at the time. In fact, Basil's name was supposed to be Casper, but since he was show cat material, the breeder said that wasn't a proper name.
happy birthday to the best cat in the world!
