Cat sitting
December 2nd 2010 21:00
Like any cat lover, Brett has been roped into cat sitting for his parents while they are away on holidays. I asked him how it was going, expecting him to be overcome with joy.
“I have to look after this boring Burmese cat,” sulked Brett. “It just sits there and does nothing.”
“Not like Butterscotch, you mean,” I said.
“Exactly.”
Judging by the way he was carrying on, you would think he was being asked to look after someone’s sloth. When I used to cat sit for my ex-neighbour, I didn’t mind the fact her cats didn’t do much; I was just happy to have them around.
While we’re on the topic of Burmese cats, Brett once told me about the time he asked a friend to cat sit for him while he was away on holidays.
“I asked my friend to look after them. She took them to her place where she had this Burmese cat. They did not like the Burmese cat and they were glad to be back,” said Brett.

I am a great fan of Burnese cats, and had one once. He gloried in the name of Bojangles.
I think of Burmese as Siamese without the ego and the glam looks. Burmese breed characteristics include great affection and formation of strong bonds with their people.
Does sound like Brett got a boring one though.

Of course Brett is being Burmese-ist. And, I might say, sloth-ist. If the Burmese doesn't want to be active, than it's his/her choice. And as Butterscotch is ageing, I've noticed he's not as active either e.g. he no longer has wrestling sessions with Gingersnap. Me, having no feline of my own, love them all, active or not active.
