Dear Sue, I have owned Brown Burmese for many years now, and have just lost my adorable "Woosie" to cancer of the jaw.
I moved to Maryborough 15 years ago from Sydney, and came catless, but with two dogs. I didn't want a cat here, because I was terrified of the damage to wildlife a cat may cause. I didn't get rid of a cat to come here, I'd lost my last Burmese a couple of years before I moved.
I cat and dog-sat for a friend of mine in Crow's Nest, near Toowoomba, and before my friend left for Melbourne, she said I just HAD to look at a Burmese female, who was at the local vet's after a difficult time with 3 different owners. One was too old, and went into a home, one had a baby and didn't want a cat near it, and the last one thought cats didn't belong inside ! ! ! ! ! Apparently, Woosie had run away, and lived rough in the bush for about 5 months. Someone found her, took her to the local vet, who put a notice in the local shops, and the last owner turned up to claim her. The vet refused to turn her over, because of the "no house" rules, and then I came along, saying I didn't want her, what about my wild birds and lizards etc.
Of course, one purr and she won me. I took her back to my friend's house, where she decided she owned the place - then when it was time to go back to my home in Maryborough along came darling Woosie. She soon battered the dogs into shape, and they all became the best of friends. She NEVER stalked birds, just used to sit and watch them as if they were a terrific movie. LOL. She caught mice in the house, which she ate, leaving nothing but the tail. What a clever Woosie. My partner and I adored her, and she is buried in the garden with her own pots of geraniums and a little name cross which my partner made for her. We say hello to her every morning.
I'm finding life without a brown Burmese is definitely lacking, and would be most pleased to know if you have any kittens, or are  likely to in the future. I would like a little female again - all my Burmese have been girls. She would be de-sexed, as I have no interest in showing or breeding, and I am totally against feral cats (or rather, the people who allow their animals to breed, regardless of whether there are homes for the progeny or not).
Would you be so kind as to let me know of the availability of kittens?
Thank you very much. All best wishes, Leah Jones,  Qld. 4650  22/9/09

Hello Sue, I remember the first Burmese I had - a little girl. She came on the train to me, and her breeder said "don't open the box until you're safely in the car". I didn't, and when I opened it I couldn't believe the ugly little scrap that was in there. Hardly brown really, and so skinny - I was so disappointed. She grew into the most wonderful deep brown girl, the light of my life - she used to come in the car with us everywhere, and miaowed when she wanted to do a wee, and then we let her out on her leash. You're right about the "dog" bit - she'd come running if I shook her leash, just like a puppy. I'd love to have that wonderful beginning again - I really would. Leah. 22/9/09

Hi again Sue, Oh, woe is me . . . . . . . no brown girlie pussies. Boo Hoo.
Never mind, I'm not REALLY obsessive, and am willing to wait for a brown girlie puss. It would be so easy to just say "Oh, I'll have another one, then," but that would be silly of me, because I want a brown girl badly, so shall have to be patient. I'm not too bad at that. I guess one will turn up at some time.
Never mind, I shall wait with baited breath. Don't please for one moment think I don't want one, or shall look elsewhere, because I certainly won't. You'll make me one - I know it. All the very best to you, and a big stroke for the new Mama, and a big smile for the new kitties. I hope all are well and healthy.
With all the very best to you - and once more waiting with baited breath. LOL.

Very dear Sue,  Thank you so much for your hospitality - I felt very honoured to meet all your kitties, and was pleased to meet Yogi and Shadow (your dogs) as well.
Of course, being such a "Brown Burmese Fan" I particularly liked your "wet nurse" mum, and your utterly beautiful young man (brown Burmese). They were a joy to behold, especially since I haven't set eyes on a Brown lovely since my girl - over a year ago now. I DID cry on the way out to the Highway - I'll never stop missing my Woosie, and leaving your beautiful cats was sad for me.
Again Sue, thank you so much for kindness and giving up your time for me. It was a gracious act, and truly appreciated.  Big hugs, always, Leah x  10/11/09

DARLING SUE--DON'T SELL MY KITTY - DON'T SELL MY KITTY - PLEASE, THIS IS
MY KITTIE, ISN'T IT? I DON'T CARE IF IT'S MALE OR FEMALE - DON'T CARE IF IT'S GREEN. I JUST WANT MY KITTIE.
WITH THE BIGGEST HUGS YOU'VE EVER HAD,
ALWAYS, LEAH XXXXX  XXLXX  5/1/10

Oh Sue, They're so lovely - their little eyes open now, beginning to look like kitties. Just wonderful.
You have no idea what it means to me to get these photo updates - a permanent
record for what so many people don't see when they buy a kitty. I'm very, very lucky, and thank you SO much.
The pictures are winging their way round the world now - I have people who wait for them as eagerly as I do LOL.
Showering Blessings on you for your kindness. That looks like a very content mummy. And a very good one too.
Big hugs for you, Sue, Always, Leah xx 16/1/10
