Polar ~

Our Siamese cat was born on June 20, 2003

He arrived home with me on a dare from a friend who said I would never have a pet. Taking on the dare, I took him home. Waking the next morning, I was amazed to see the little kitten taking up space in my home. I had much wonder of his strange actions. Not having a pet as a child, I was not sure what to do with him, and I certainly had no idea how attached I would become and what effect he would have on my family.

Polar has become a vital component to my family, especially to my son who has grown up to know the love of a cat and the responsibility of having him.
