Great ending to the story. Love their names and cannot wait for the official introduction and pictures. Seriously, couldn't you take the day off from work to post pictures -- it's cruel to make us wait

If it helps any, Dante (ragdoll, which is related to siamese) had strabismus as a kitten and grew out of it.

That should've read "a Ragdoll paint job but Savannah under the hood" but I couldn't edit. Sorry, blew the joke.

Yeah, I think it is a good thing too. It avoids further stress for all involved, especially the cats. Yuki and Yeti are bonded already, especially after almost 12 hours together in the shipping crate.
While talking to the vet this morning she saw Yeti's crossed eyes and decided to do an inpromptu eye test. She used the light on her ear scope to get him to follow it as she shone it on the table top. He seemed to do alright. She also had a laugh when trying to check to see if Yuki might have a heart murmur because she said she'd have to figure out a way to stop Yuki from purring so she could hear her heart.
Also, everyone Yuki encountered she tried to climb up on to groom their hair, even holding their face still with her paws so she could get at the spot she wanted to groom. I can see this little girl is going to be hoot when guests visit.
Congrats on your babies!
As for getting a kitten to quiet to hear their heart- that is important- suggest running the tap if there is a sink in the room- it will startle them and allow your vet to get a listen real quick to ensure no heart murmurs.

I am so happy to hear that this mix-up has worked out. Yeti and Yuki sound amazing, and I can't wait for pictures!

For such a small cat, Yuki purrs REALLY LOUD!, and almost constantly when around people.
Congratulations, and I am glad that Martin made good on the promise and you are satisfied with the outcome!
And yes, my vet uses the running tap sometimes to distract a purring kitten long enough to listen well to the heart.
