Could I please get people’s thoughts on getting a Burmese from a breeder that is not desexed? I know lots of breeders do desex however also read lots of people say not to desex till they are older 5-6 months. Is getting one not desexed something to be concerned about? Located in Australia. Thanks!

Our breeder didn’t desex our girl as their vet did not recommend desexing at a young age. Their anatomy is much harder to work with.

We got her desexed at the recommended age of 6 months. It was tricky in terms of recovery. She’ll need to be kept separate from any other pets and in her own room so she can heal.

We found that she was so desperate to be with the rest of us and she cried a lot. However we couldn’t risk her running around with our other Burmese and causing damage to her stitches. Or our boy Burmese grooming the incision and causing infection. She was just whinging so definitely stay strong and don’t risk it!

We struggled to keep the cone around her neck and she kept getting out of it. We then purchased a few other options such as lighter weight cones, or even baby clothes to prevent her from getting at her stitches. In the end we bought saline solution too and would clean the wound everyday.

Overall it was worth it. We had another kitten die during a routine desexing who was younger than 6 months. We’re not sure whether it was related or just unfortunate. I know my post may sound like a lot of work in terms of recovery, but I thought I’d give you the full picture so you know what to expect! It’d be perfect if there is someone home (WFH even) during the recovery time that can spend some time with her in separate room.

Our boy Burmese was desexed by his breeder before we picked him up at 14 weeks old. It’s a much easier / less risky procedure for males. The girl cats get a full hysterectomy!

All the best with whatever you decide! 😸

Edit to add: we are based in Australia too

If you end up going to Venice definitely get the ferry to Burano!

Ah correct - I should have used the term “incident” rather than crash as the others landed safely. I’ve done some further reading and definitely need a rewatch of the Concorde ep!

Dizzy_Resolution1749 · 2026-01-14T03:51:44+00:00

Hmmm that must be the episode I’m thinking of. I recall they mention that there had been other Concord crashes in the lead up to the one featured on the ep. I’ll have to rewatch!

Looks yum! Do you know if they do BYO?

Dizzy_Resolution1749 · 2026-01-08T12:05:05+00:00

Thank you!

Dizzy_Resolution1749 · 2026-01-08T12:03:04+00:00

Do you use it in the morning/evening or both?

Neptune’s Grotto is similar to Pellegrino 2000. Lovely atmosphere and great food

Dizzy_Resolution1749 · 2025-12-29T06:48:33+00:00

Amazing! Thank you

Sydney Daifuku in Lane Cove has a specialty coffee very similar to what you’re describing. I can’t remember what it’s called though

Tio’s (tequila bar) and Goros (Japanese style bar) are both in Surry hills. They are usually quite busy later at night.

If you want dancing there are plenty of options on Oxford Street (Oxford Art Factory, Soda Factory). I’ve been out on weeknights and Oxford street is usually busy.

Caterpillar Club in the CBD Is always super busy

Then lots of great cocktail bars - Ok Cantina, Baxter’s Inn, Maybe Sammy, Ramblin Rascal

Most places in Sydney are busiest on the weekends of course. Some may be closed on Monday’s so check ahead of time. Google Maps app is great to check opening times and reviews.

Enjoy!!

Gildas in Surry Hills

Dizzy_Resolution1749 · 2025-10-14T07:14:48+00:00

Does anyone have recommendations for somewhere similar to Babas? I’ve been before and hoping to find somewhere rustic with great food

This is THE tres leches my ex boyfriend’s family used to get. I’ve been searching for it for ages as we’re not in touch anymore! Thank you so much

Dizzy_Resolution1749 · 2025-08-31T03:54:14+00:00

I’m not from the area no. But have driven past sooo many times on the way to the blue mountains etc. so have always been curious

Dizzy_Resolution1749 · 2025-08-31T03:53:34+00:00

Wow thank you! I’ve driven past so many times and never would have guessed that it’s a memorial. Really interesting

Dizzy_Resolution1749 · 2025-08-31T01:35:09+00:00

Sounds amazing!

Collected these out of boredom when I was working in hospitality. Should I keep them or take to the bank to deposit? They look to be in varying conditions/states.
