This is Minton Lee (Mint for short). He's a flamepoint siamese (his father was a flamepoint, his mother was regular siamese). He has vibrant blue eyes, and is 14 pounds. He's a sweet boy, is needy, and loves to be pet. He is a year younger than my Susannah, so he's about 12 years old now. He is about as grumpy as Susannah is too, though he's far more playful than her.

He is a kitten that we found in a patch of weeds that we had sprayed with weed killer two days before. His mother had her entire litter in that patch of weeds (8 kittens in all) so we had to take them away from her and wash them off. Since feral cats tend to abandon their kittens when they have been handled by humans, we ended up raising the entire litter. Unfortunately, two of them died, but we were able to give two of them away as well. Each of my brothers ended up with a kitten, my dad ended up with Mint, and my mom ended up with the runt of the litter, which lives with her in her apartment while she is at school.

Yes, I know this was a long little speech about my cat, but I like to give a bit of his background. He was a fighter and was able to keep from getting sick. While he's one of the laziest cats ever, he is a good friend, and always makes himself present when anyone in the house is in poor spirits.

I did edit this photo a tiny bit (mostly to bring out his beautiful eyes). I had to enhance the color a little bit due to the flash erasing some of his markings.
