| Hi there,
I am Nancy Jenkins and I live in Sandown, NH which is only about 45
minutes from you. I am new in Birmans and I have just had my first
birman litter.
I do not have my own stud but I do have membership listings of birman
breeders and would be very happy to meet with you.
Btw, where do you work?? I work in MKO2, Merrimack, NH. Maybe we
could have lunch??
Nancy

| Gee, us Birman folks are going to start outnumbering the Persian
people soon!!
Tell us some more about your girl. I take it she came from a cattery
in Europe. I have a seal boy, but he's neutered! Glad to hear
there is another Birman breeder here in New England!

| Here is more info about our girl.
Indeed, she comes from a French cattery. We have the whole pedigree
somewhere in a drawer.
She is three years old, born the 14 of July (which is a national
holiday, the equivalent of the American 4th of July). She is just a few
months older than our twins - my wife, who is the cat person in the
family, had been working on me for a while. Once she was well pregnant,
my preocupation with the burden of caring for a cat and not easily
leaving for vacation was drowned in what we were up for anyhow :-)
She is a seal point. A remarkably nice character. She goes along with
the kids quite well. When they were babies, she would go and sleep at
the foot of their bed. They love to play with her, and she takes an
amazing amount of punishment before she gets fed up and calmly walks
away. They never got a scratch.
She is very affectionate. She roams the house at leasure, with the
distant snob of any cat ("dogs come when you call them. Cats take a
message and get back to you"). But she loves to go and sit or sleep in
someone's lap, like a big soft teddy bear. Or she often comes and sits
on the end of the sofa when there are people around. She sleeps on our
bed at night, which is fine, but for two things: one, when everybody
gets settled, there is some negotiation going on, or else she sleeps
between my wife and I (we're married for sufficiently short time to
fight that). The other is that if we don't feed her at night, or feed
her things she doesn't like, she gets up at 4 or 5 AM, and nibbles at
fingers, toes or noses until we take the subtle hint and get her decent
food. She wonders away early morning, but is always back for the
morning party, when the kids wake up and the whole family crowds the
parents' bed.
So what can I say, she's just part of the family.
