BorderCollieLvr,
Please look around a lot and study who is producing good Siamese kittens with a proven show record too. There are a lot of cat breeders out there who just basically do that, yes some produce some good kittens but some just repeatedly breed from their queens year after year.
I have just bought myself a pedigree kitten after having had lots of lovely moggies over the years. I saw the British Shorthaired black tipped on a website and fell in love with them. I basically tried every link in Google to find out more about the breed and then several breeder's names kept cropping up with good quality cats. I sent off a lot of email enquiries & had about a 50% response to them, luckily one lady remembered me and put me onto a breeder who had used her stud cat several months earlier and had 2 females for sale. I now have a beautiful kitten and I made contact with a really helpful breeder who entrusted me with one of her kittens.
If you can get to a cat show, even better, take your mum & have a good look at what would appeal to your mum, she could have this cat for 16-18 years. Be prepared to pay approx £250- £400 for a kitten on the non-Active register (Can't be bred from), more if it's on the Active which most breeders won't do either. You have to pass their very rigorous tests to get a kitten on Active!!!!
