1202.0. "introducing.." by CHEFS::TUDORK () Mon Mar 21 1988 08:50

    I am owned by Isis (grey tabby female) and Tarot (black male) a
    brother and sister combination who found themselves with the RSPCA
    at 4 weeks since their Mum was a burmese and her owner was expecting
    her to have a pure bred litter.  The huge eyes and the intelligence
    were passed on - to my mind more charming in combination with the
    medium length coat of their Dad.
    
    Tarot takes his role as the hunter seriously, this has (so far)
    only manifested itself in his passion for depositing worms around
    the house where they dehydrate ovenight and are positioned for me
    to find immediately I get out of bed (usually with my feet).  I
    can't wait for him to graduate onto birds.
    
    Isis is more of a home cat, once she had trained us to realise that
    it is 'her' chair, 'her' bed and 'her' fire.
    
    We are besotted with both of them and I welcome the opportunity
    to bore a wider circle than my immediate workmates!

1202.1	Have they got Burmese voices?	CHEFS::GOUGH		`Mon Mar 21 1988 11:06`	7
	They sound gorgeous. How old are they now? Wait until Tarot starts on mice, voles, shrews, birds .... dead, half-dead, alive, and in small pieces ... Some friends of mine had a pure-bred Burmese, a female, which used to catch pheasants!
1202.3	reply 1202.1	CHEFS::TUDORK		`Wed Mar 23 1988 09:27`	8
	Re question in 1202.1 - how old are they? They will be a year old next month. Incidentally do they grow out of using the bed as a springboard to launch themselves up the curtains? Don't think they have burmese voices they rarely mew, just prrp a lot.
1202.4	Fully Fledged	IPG::KCAMPBELL	Pussycat Power!!	`Thu Mar 24 1988 07:06`	14
	Recently our cat, Georgie has taken to catching mice and then eating them on the doorstep. The only bits he leaves are the entrails; guess they're not that tasty!! Then he graduated on to pigeons (only one so far, thank goodness) and last week we found a baby rabbit outside!!! This ferocious streak seems to go against the grain as he's a very affectionate, sweet-natured cat...with us, anyway! Regards, Karen
1202.5	After 5 years, I'm still waiting...	CLUSTA::TAMIR	ACMS design while-u-wait	`Mon Mar 28 1988 13:09`	4
	re: .3...do they ever outgrow using the bed as a springboard to the curtains? No. Mary
1202.6	supercat	CHEFS::TUDORK		`Sat Apr 02 1988 11:02`	6
	What worries me more than the fate of the curtains is that one day I might forget and leave a window open.. Anyone passing by our house might just see supercat! Still the surprise might cure him and with a flat roof just underneath he shouldn't come to harm.
