Bette,

Thanks.  I'm particularly fond of DNA and genetic stuff.  It just 
fascinates me how that stuff works.  Over the years, I've fostered a few 
litters of kittens, but one particular litter sticks out in my mind.  It 
was a litter of four kittens - three blue tabbies and one female that 
looked exactly like a lynx point siamese right down to the blue eyes. 
It just amazed me how that one kitten was so different from the others.

That siamese look alike got adopted by a client at the clinic where I 
worked, so I got to see her as a full grown adult who still looked like 
a lynx point siamese, blue eyes and all - although she had the old apple 
head shape rather than the elongated face of today's siamese.  What a 
beauty!
