We are passionate about Siamese Cats . . . and Ska Music
 

We care very deeply about the welfare of our animals and the environment


We use exclusively compostable litters - Pine and Cedar.  We are also avid cycling enthusiasts.
Our cats bring us tremendous joy. We take great pleasure in seeing the happiness our kittens bring to others.

Princess Skweekums, our red Main Coon, is a rescue who has found a forever home with us.

We are committed to preserving the original characteristics of the breed. The Traditional Siamese is an intelligent and affectionate,
long lived cat - often living into their teens and twenties. There is nothing extreme about the Traditional Siamese, they are long
elegant and muscular.   Their head show what was called a "modified wedge" shape  (That's breed standard lingo to say more like a
triangle than a common British Domestic Short Hair or say a Persian). . . .

Their heads aren't really apple shaped as the American  colloquial "Apple head" implies, but they do seem round compared to the
very extreme cats that began to develop during the later part of the twentieth century.

Breed Clubs have come to recognize these and other Oriental type cats as separate breeds unto themselves. The word Siamese  now  
refers to a " Breed Class" including the Traditional Siamese (mother to all Siamese cats)  but also the new "Modern Siamese/ Extreme
Wedge", Snowshoe Siamese, Color Point Siamese and Oriental breeds. and showing many different point colors including flame point
and lynx point cats.  The word Siamese brought about some confusion as it's meaning changed from one breed of cat to a breed class
including many recognized breeds of Siamese.  Just as there are different types of Retrievers - Labrador Retrievers are very different
from Newfoundland Retrievers or Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, yet they are all "Retrievers". How these breeds of Siamese are classified
differs somewhat between breed clubs but refers to cats originating from the Traditional Siamese - the long, robust, pointed cats with
*moderately* wedge shaped heads, imported to England from Thailand - the region formally known as Siam.

The Siamese genetic includes many different color points.  2TONE Siamese specializes in producing stunning  Lilac Frost Point  Long and
Short Haired Siamese and Balinese cats.    We also have kittens in the four main colour points:  Seal, Chocolate, Blue, and Lilac.

*We Do Not produce Modern Siamese Cats  - These cats are sometimes referred to as Show Style Siamese or "Extreme Wedge" type
Siamese, were developed in the U.S. between 1950 -1980 are a marked departure from the historic interpretation of the breed standard, and are not considered an acceptable  out cross in a Traditional Siamese breeding program as they are  generally regarded
as seperate breeds of Siamese type.  



We are expressly concerned with providing cats of a high quality of health and character.  We are very concerned when any breeder compromises health or temperament to breed to a specific look or type. We do not support designer breeds - breeds which  cannot  survive without a high degree of human intervention, when we hear of dogs or cats with congenital eye problems, that deliver only by cesarean or breeds which have other predominant health or behavioral problems we are very concerned.  We do not breed kink
tails or cross eyes, and  we regard declawing procedures as cruel and inhumane.

We consider the Traditional Siamese to be the most stable, and long lived of all Siamese breed types (just my well researched but
highly biased opinion).  These principles have been the guiding ethic for 2Tone Siamese.

 We do not: breed cross eyes or kink tails, we do not participate in cat shows & we do not declaw our cats
 


We do not show our cats.  Traveling and exhibiting is extremely stressful for cats. They are exposed to many different pathogens and
stressors while being handled and transported during cat shows.  We do not believe that placing well in a cat show will guarantee
health or temperament.  We believe that breeders who are concerned with the health and preservation of the breed are most qualified
to interpret the breed standards produced by their supporting breed clubs and organizations.  Our cats are happier at home with their
families than traveling and exhibiting.- Their happiness is important to us - more important than ribbons and recognition.  We are
most interested in seeing the happiness that our kittens bring to others.  If you are  interested in showing your Traditional Siamese
kitten let us know so that we can help to best meet your needs.
