when I was about 12 my father got me a pair of Siamese...male and female....we named them Gotto and Gottina...on the advise of the man that got them for us...he told us how males help with the kittens ......which made the quiet more the family oriented male cat...and they were an awesome pair....Gotto was just as involved in raising the babies as momma was ...she would nurse the kittens and he would bring her food...and help with cleaning the babies.....we were told the names meant "loyal partners"...
