Awwww, his face looks very like my Swamp, the burmese hooligan  :hug:. However His Swampness says any resemblance to a 'dog' is highly offensive. A 'god' maybe lol.


Awww I think a picture is needed! Have I missed one you might have already posted?  :shify:

They are hopeless without people though, that's true. They'll stop sleeping and change room if you do and they do demand constant interaction - play, affection, special games. They are amazingly good company.....however not that easy to ignore when you are trying to work from home hee hee. Very 'helpful'.


That sounds like Doc!  :heeee heeee: I wonder if my moggie has got some Burmese in him then?  :-:
He hates being left in one room when you are in another, he will wait outside the bathroom if I am having a shower, will sit in the window (or sleep) waiting for you to come home if you are out and if you are trying to get ready for work and not looking at him he makes lots and lots of noise! (he has a habit of going around making brr brr brr brr noises or really vocal meows, I think he will just start talking one day  :rofl: )

He is not at ALL nervous of new people that come into the house - Cheese will be cautious, Gerti will hide under the stairs but Doc is jumping up at them for pets or rubbing on their legs - or trying to jump onto their shoulders  :rofl:

Oh and an empty lap doesn't exist in our house  :evillaugh: not for very long anyway!

To think I might not see those eyes, makes it so hard not to cry, and as we say our long goodbyes, I nearly do.

"Burmese are extremely people-oriented; their personalities are almost dog-like in a tendency to shadow their owners and in a desire to give and receive affection."
He even wags his tail like a dog when he is happy, not very cat like at all  :heeee heeee:

Sorry to hijack the thread but can't resist posting this lovely picture of him  :Luv:
Hope it works!

And as kittens - well, my brother once watched the Swamp flying around the place at 11pm each night and remarked "not exactly the best choice of cat for a little old lady, the burmese, is it?" Now you've reminded me, Swamp lost all his babyteeth while biting OH's arm and being swung around violently -he LOVED that. When I see my little old man lovesponge now...aww.
that's a lovely pic of your boy. He's purr-fect :)

They're brill Dawn  ;D

That music on the last one is the alarm my o/h has on his phone alarm clock to wake him up every morning, Max likes it as well, when he hears it he'll come up to the top of the bed for some whisker tickles  :evillaugh:

Loved the first one Dawn as I missed that episode of cora' street  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


Gill, I normally always miss out when they are doing something cause I normally have left my phone elsewhere and by the time I run to get it they have stopped what they are doing! Anything that happens I am shouting "wheres my phone?!" to OH cause I want to get it - I love videos, but they arent very good quality  :(

Purrlishious - the cats even interrupt my corrie doing cute things (cheek!) and of course I have to try and get it on video so I wasn't paying much attention  :rofl:

BC - I see what you mean - I think this sounds alot like Doc too:
"Burmese are extremely people-oriented; their personalities are almost dog-like in a tendency to shadow their owners and in a desire to give and receive affection."
He even wags his tail like a dog when he is happy, not very cat like at all  :heeee heeee:

Every time I watch Doc burst out of the tent in the beginning it makes me laugh  :evillaugh:

Yes there is a peek hole on the back, and two little ones on each side at the bottom. Its the peek holes that make them tip the tent over!!

Wow! These tents sound so cool!  ;D

Chutney has also jumped on the tent with her full weight whilst mango was inside, which sent mango scooting out. Kind of reminf=ded me of stamping on a tube of toothpaste if you catch my drift....  :rofl:

They are definitely big enough for one of yours, two would fit but it would be quite cosy I'd imagine  :evillaugh:

Oooo goody. They had a tent bed before but Bilbo can't fit in it anymore lol and Boopy can get in but can't turn round lol.
