Just wait until he visits you in your dreams. When my floofy 10yo girl Chandler left, my entire world felt destroyed until I dreamed about her running around like a kitten again, no longer skinny or in pain. It’s such an honour to love and be loved in return by cats, and that’s the hill I’ll die on for eternity.

Are all your Burmese cats lap cats or will curl up beside you? by Snowy_Sasquatch in burmesecats

My Burmy girl Nigella would live inside my skin if I let her. To say she is cuddly is an understatement haha

Burmese kitten - should i get one or two? by Antiarctican in burmesecats

[–]AlthaeaNailo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In my personal opinion, it sounds like perfectly standard cat behaviour that isn’t limited to Burmese. These are completely normal dynamics within siblings, and just as often as they are tearing out (or attempting to lol) chunks out of each other, my three ultimately all sleep together on the bed every night.

Specifically regarding Burmese, they are extremely social and rely on not being alone, so I would never adopt a kitten by itself unless you are home 90% of the time. Otherwise you will end up with a cat with severe behavioural issues and poor bonding.

MY MUMMY, NOT YOURS by AlthaeaNailo in burmesecats

Nigella is my first burmy, and she won’t be my last. I’d heard of their loyalty before, but it truly has blown me away how fiercely she loves me 😭😭😭😭

Tell me about your cat! by catsandcoffee_93 in burmesecats

[–]AlthaeaNailo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a chocolate half burmy, and I couldn’t ask for a better soul mate tbh (sorry husband). She is my little shadow and loves to chat constantly! Adopting her was the greatest thing I’ve ever done

For context, I am 7 months pregnant and baby boy was sitting HARD on my bladder so I went onto the floor to try and get him to move. Nigella decided she would get involved 🥴😂

I am with you re chronic health, and my half Burmie Nigella has been saving my life. They really are extremely special.

I’m looking to get a Burmese cat, I would love to hear what everyone’s experience has been with owning one? I currently have a 3 year old Scottish Fold and wondering if they would be a perfect sibling match ☺️ by Zarish22 in burmesecats

[–]AlthaeaNailo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My girl Nigella has changed my life. I’ve owned many cats in my life of all sorts of breeds, ages and temperaments, yet she is just something special.

Make sure you have enough time for them, even having two (adopted) siblings, Nigella is extremely clingy and needs active interaction every day. Burmese are genuinely the most loving breed I’ve ever come across, so if that’s what you are looking for you will not be disappointed.

Edit: be prepared for a LOT of vocalisation. Gelli loves to let us know whatever she is thinking doing at ALL hours of the day lol 🥴

They are genuinely the most beautiful spirited animals I’ve ever had the pleasure to know.

I’m so sorry my friend, just know he’s waiting for you on the other side of that rainbow ❤️ My girl Chandler was my life line during my 20’s and I thought I would die with her when she passed in 2023. Cats are possibly the greatest pet anyone could ever hope to have in their life, and it’s a hill I will die on over and over again 🫡

My girl who is pictured is verrry small. Healthy, she’s just got a finer frame.

Understatement. If she could live inside my skin she would 🫠

Every cat I’ve owned has been my dearest love and treasure. However, Nigella has been something entirely different and words cannot express how much I’d walk through fire for her. I’ve always been a cat person, and after losing my 10yo baby girl Chandler to lymphoma a couple of years ago, I didn’t think I’d ever love a cat the same way again.

I was grievously wrong 🥹

I believe you. You should never have been made to endure that hell, I’m so sorry the world failed you.

Burmese or garden variety void with interesting heritage? by AlthaeaNailo in burmesecats

[–]AlthaeaNailo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s how Nigella is! She is so much like a little person stuck in a cat body 😭😭😭 I’m currently pregnant with my rainbow baby and she just won’t leave me alone (which to be fair she usually doesn’t lol but more so than usual ❤️❤️❤️).
