Maddie the Burmese - Eyren - 07-09-2020
I didn't want to detract from Broadway's sad news, but here at last is a pic of my BFFF (Best Feline Friend Forever):

Yes, that's her in my bed - I swear she thinks she's human!
She also likes to play fetch:

Note that I did not teach her this - she just started doing it of her own accord so I could throw her toy again!
Maddie was diagnosed with diabetes at the end of July, but is doing well on her insulin and will no doubt continue to be an adorable pain in the butt for a few more years (she's coming up on 15, and Burmese are almost as long-lived as Siamese).

Hello Maddie and welcome to G&G.
You're a very beautiful girl!
I used to have Siamese cats who liked to play fetch too. They'd also come for rides in the car and walks on the beach and in the woods with the dogs.

Detract away Eyren, Maddie is beautiful?
My Dad's partner used to keep and show Burmese and he always said he thought they were more like dogs than cats.

Oh she is beautiful Eyren. I grew up with Siamese cats, and the odd Burmese cross even had a few when living in Thailand. I'm sure they are humans in feline form. Does she talk?

Yes, they're often described as the dog-lover's cat. She likes to go for walks on a harness and lead, though unlike a dog she is in control - she just likes to explore the garden and nibble on some grass!

She does meow at us when she wants something. Well, I say meow....sometimes it's more of a grunt - she could give Grumpy Cat a run for his money

Hello Maddie
You’re a beautiful girl.
RE: Maddie the Burmese - Can the Man - 07-09-2020
Welcome Maddie, she’s a fine looking cat.

Just popping in to add that Maddie has been off the insulin since early October - we have her on a low-carb diet and it seems to be keeping the diabetes at bay
RE: Maddie the Burmese - Small chilli - 02-02-2021
That’s great news.
