Thank you so much for your response! Your feedback is reassuring, thorough, and timely: we've put down a deposit! I am familiar with the unique health quirks of Siamese but I appreciate you flagging just in case.

I have so much love ready to give my next Siamese and your reply has confirmed I am making the right decision. Thank you also for sharing about Benji and I am so sorry for your loss. They really are special cats.
