Our snowshoe siamese is a lot quiter than the regular siamese.Not a loud vocial cat.She talks but is sweet and a talker.Can be trained real easy to stay on the porch without being tied after the first summer.Her white feet look like hands and she uses them the same way.Her name is Meicha,She is three years old and is a sealpoint with matching white feet and bellie and a cute mustach.She wants to play all the time and loves to sleep with my husband at the foot of his bed. She is a broader built cat than a regular siamese.She does not look it until you pick her up.She gives kisses when asked.Hope you have a chance to have one.    Shirley

I know what you mean.  Our Snowshoe is 9 months old and her name is Kimi (short for Kimora).  We adopted her and her sister from an animal foundation that rescues stray cats.  Her feet and belly are white and she has white on the lower half of her face---as a small kitten she looked like a little raccoon and now looks like she has a bandit mask on.  The tip of her tale is also white---like it was dipped into a can of white paint.  Her sister, Kori, is a seal point Siamese.  Kimi is broader built then Kori.  However, they are both small cats.  I don't think they are going to get much bigger.  They do not talk much, unlike our other cat who passed away in October.  However, they are very ornery!  And such a treat to watch.  They make us laugh.  They are not very cuddley, yet.  I hope that changes with time.  Enjoy!  I know we are!
