Howdy all, we just picked up our second Siberian kitten,we have named him Kipper,yes named after the Great Calgary Flames goalie!! Our other Siberian is a female named Bella, she is around 15 months of age, Kipper is 9 weeks. Bella isn't a lovey cat, but loves to be around you. Kipper seems very lovey as he loves to cuddle. So far so good. Even though he hasn't been in the home for 24 hrs the two cats are doing very well together, very little hissing.

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Awww - how adorable! I love Siberians:-) It sounds like the two of yours are off to a very good friendship - lots of wrestling and playing ahead, I can see:-).

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

We love the Siberian breed as well. If it wasn't for the fact my wife is allergic to "normal" (no such thing as a normal cat) cat we would have just adopted from a rescue organization. The bonding process has been going rather well. very little hissing and no swatting! They have come nose to nose a few times, and continue on!! I belive Bella actually wants to play, but poor Kipper is still a bit nervous!! In time I'm sure they will be best friends.

Too cute for words, Scott! My Jenny just turned 21 on Valentine's Day and I hope you guys have at least as many years with Bella and Kipper!

Of course as an Islander fan, I would have named him Chico (as in Resch).
