We were very lonely with Matt being gone so much and missing family, friends and Maggie so much so we started talking about possibly getting a pet here. Dogs are not very popular here - neither are cats really- but we wanted something. So I looked at the classifieds on the Doha Mums site and found a mom that already had 3 cats of her own (along with her 3 small children) and was feeding 2 kittens outside. So, we gave her a call and were amazed when we saw that the "street cat" was a Siamese! He was SO tiny and beautiful! We were surprised that after that first night of being skittish towards us, he was fine. He wasn't a scaredy cat and was so sweet and cuddly. He did eat like every meal was his last and filled into his body over the course of a few weeks. He was 2.5 lbs at his first vet visit and we are sure he has gained since. :) Ella adores him and I have to say that he has really helped me with my feelings of loneliness. Of course Ella picked the name and named him after Ariel (the Little Mermaid)'s dad. King Triton is now part of the family!!
