Me gusta fotografiar gatos. Tal vez sea un hobby o un talento escondido. Pero disfruto tomarle fotos, a los míos, a los del vecino o los que veo por la calle en cualquier lugar. ¿Debería dedicarme de manera profesional, montar mi negocio llamado "Fotocats"? No lo sé. No creo que lo haga, pero de que me gusta, me gusta. ¡Y mucho!

Un saludo a esta comunidad. Creo es la primera vez que publico aquí. Un gusto poder compartir con ustedes una experiencia que viví hoy.

¿Ven a ese especímen felino? Fui a casa de mi hermana y de regreso, a pocas casas de la suya, me encuentro con este peludo. Como imaginarán, las ganas de fotografiarlo se activaron. Pero llevaba algunas bolsas y no quería soltarlas. Sin embargo, me detuve y empecé a observarlo. A simple vista detecté que era de raza siamés. Todo bien. Nada fuera de lo normal. Hay muchos siameses beiges, con sus patas, narices y colas oscuras.

Pero a este michi lo detallé bien y noté que no era un siamés común. Tenía manchas blancas, como si fueran canas. De hecho, mi señora madre que iba conmigo me dice:

"hijo, no toques ese gato -- ya yo había soltado las bolsas con la intención de acariciarlo -- parece que está enfermo, de pronto tiene sarna".

No es que no le gusten los gatos, ella los adora, solo que estaba apurada y no quiso detenerse.

---

---

---

Ella siguió y yo me quedé. Obviamente lo acaricié. Por suerte era un gato manso y cariñoso, como es común en casi todos los siameses. Estuve unos segundos dándole amor, hasta que no resistí y saqué mi teléfono celular, activé la cámara y empecé a disparar fotos. Unas más dedicadas que otras (ya saben, mi mamá estaba apurada, y aunque se detuvo a esperarme unos metros adelante, igual no fui tan detallista con las fotos).

---

---

Tomé las fotos y seguí mi camino. No las vi hasta que llegué a casa. Las descargo en mi PC y empiezo a seleccionar las que iban para esta publicación. Al hacerlo, veo con más calma esas manchas y recordé la raza Carey. Conozco que esa raza existe porque una vez conseguí un gata muy enferma, con sus patas maltratadas y llenas de gusanos. Al solicitar ayuda a un amiga, me dijo que era de esa raza.

---

---

Al ver al peludo protagonista de esta historia, noto esas manchas blancas, no muy comunes en los siameses. De una vez lo relacioné con la raza Carey y me dije: ¿Será un siamés carey? No soy experto en gatos, mucho menos en siameses, pero sí he leído sobre sus distintas variantes y nombres y no me venía a la mente algo así. Ni modo, le tuve que preguntar a "san Google".

---

---

Y me respondió. Y para no hacerle más largo el cuento, resulta que sí, existe una variante de la raza siamés llamada "Siamés Tortie Pointed" o en español "Siamés Punto Carey". Los siameses son muy comunes, no necesitan presentación, pero los carey, no. Por eso y para que entiendan a qué me refiero con un gato Carey, les muestro una foto por si no conocen esta raza:

¿Si notan esas manchas blancas que también están presentes en el siamés de nuestro post? En este artículo pueden aprender más sobre la raza Carey y disfrutar varias fotos (incluyendo la anterior a este párrafo).

Por lo pronto y ya para terminar, les dejo más fotos del felino siamés carey que posó para mí. Un gato diferente, pero con un encanto particular, una cara redondeta y amigable, de ojos azul claro. Un michi de una raza que hoy conocí y quise compartir con ustedes.

Espero hayan disfrutado de esta publicación. Y aunque no es mi mascota, es la de alguien más y pude aprender de ella. Gracias "Hive Pets", por recibir mi contenido.

I like to photograph cats. Maybe it's a hobby or a hidden talent. But I enjoy taking pictures of them, mine, the neighbor's or the ones I see in the street anywhere. Should I dedicate myself professionally, start my own business called "Fotocats"? I don't know. I don't think I will, but I like it, I like it, I like it a lot!

Greetings to this community. I think this is my first time posting here. Glad to be able to share with you an experience I had today.

---

See that feline specimen? I went to my sister's house and on my way back, a few houses away from hers, I found this furry feline. As you can imagine, I felt like taking a picture of him. But I was carrying some bags and I didn't want to let them go. However, I stopped and started to observe him. At first glance I detected that he was a Siamese breed. Everything was fine. Nothing out of the ordinary. There are many beige Siamese, with their dark paws, noses and tails.

But I took a closer look at this Siamese and I noticed that he wasn't a common Siamese. He had white spots, as if they were grey hair. In fact, my mother, who was with me, said to me:

"Son, don't touch that cat -- I had already dropped the bags with the intention of petting it -- it looks like it's sick, suddenly it has mange.

It's not that she doesn't like cats, she loves them, she was just in a hurry and didn't want to stop.

---

---

---

She went on and I stayed. Obviously I petted him. Luckily he was a tame and affectionate cat, as is common in almost all Siamese. I spent a few seconds giving him love, until I couldn't resist and took out my cell phone, activated the camera and started shooting pictures. Some more dedicated than others (you know, my mom was in a hurry, and even though she stopped to wait for me a few meters ahead, I still wasn't that detailed with the pictures).

---

---

I took the pictures and went on my way. I didn't see them until I got home. I download them to my PC and start selecting the ones that were going for this post. As I do so, I take a closer look at those spots and remember the Hawksbill breed. I know that this breed exists because I once got a very sick cat, with her paws all over her body and full of worms. When I asked a friend for help, she told me she was from that breed.

---

When I saw the furry protagonist of this story, I noticed those white spots, not very common in Siamese. At once I related him to the tortoiseshell breed and I said to myself: Could he be a tortoiseshell Siamese? I'm not an expert in cats, much less in Siamese, but I have read about their different variants and names and something like that didn't come to my mind. No way, I had to ask "Saint Google".

---

---

And he answered me. And to make a long story short, it turns out that yes, there is a variant of the Siamese breed called "Siamese Tortie Pointed" or in Spanish "Siamese Punto Carey". Siamese are very common, they need no introduction, but tortoiseshells do not. For that reason and so that you understand what I mean by a tortoiseshell cat, I show you a picture in case you don't know this breed:

If you notice those white spots that are also present on the Siamese in our post? In this article you can learn more about the Hawksbill breed and enjoy several photos (including the one before this paragraph).

In the meantime and to finish, I leave you more pictures of the Siamese tortoiseshell feline who posed for me. A different cat, but with a particular charm, a round and friendly face, with light blue eyes. A michi of a breed that I met today and I wanted to share with you.
