  2. Marina -- Siamese twins are not related to Siamese cats. Another name for Siamese twins is oonjoined twins, which happens when an embryo in the mother's uterus splits to become twins -- but the separation is not complete and sometimes the twins share and are attached by an organ or a limb. These days, doctors are really good at doing surgery to separate the conjoined twins after they were born. Probably the term Siamese twins came from a pair who were famous and were from Siam.

  3. Marina, I found an article in Wikipedia that talks about some of the reasons humans think that cats purr, and how they do it:

    But it doesn't really explain why they purr loudly.
