Meet Bertie Wooster, Bertie for short.
He is a 12-week old chocolate Burmese, purchased from a breeder in Seymour. He's been here exactly one day, and he is quite at home and we are all besotted.
Even though a pet is for life not just for Christmas, he
is a Christmas present (from Fixit to me). It's been 6 years since my last cat crept quietly away under our neighbour's house to die. That was when we lived somewhere else and Climber was a crawling bundle of baby, and then we moved here and had Cherub and for a while there a pet would have been beyond our means and our energy. Now though, we need a pet. 'Specially Climber.
It is so nice to have that little purring bundle of fur to cuddle; when we are not being entertained by his kittenish scampering antics, of course.

Great name! So glad you're all happy. He IS cute. I'd even give him a cuddle and then hand him straight back, as no cat is EVER crossing OUR threshold.
ReplyDeleteOh he looks so happy with that little cat on his lap
ReplyDeleteI'd be lost without a cat, and Burmese are the BEST ! I love Fixit for giving him to you - it's just so damn thoughful and sweet.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think all kids need a pet.
A real pet, that can be mauled and cuddled ( not a goldfish )
NONE of our MG kids have pets, not one. They maul our windows like it's a viewing zoo when they see our Bobby outside, and squeal and squeak with delight. Poor things...
But why did you name your cat after my husband, hmm ??
Suss.
You will need to wear lots of pink and sip your drinks delicately through a straw in order to keep up the girly quotient in your household. (shouting 'gilr power' periodically may help too)
ReplyDeleteOoooh, cute! Can't wait to give him a cuddle.
ReplyDeleteLovely.
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwwww! Congrats on the new addition! Burmese are my weakness - my last baby lived to be 17 and was loving and kittenish her entire life. May you all have many snuggles and giggles!
ReplyDeleteEeeee! So cute. And so tolerant. He looks like he will have fun with you all!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty!
ReplyDeleteThe boys look so happy!
Haven't been able to contemplate having a cat since psychotic wonderdog arrived ... she thinks all cats are THE ENEMY and must be annihilated ... She's 10 now and fit as a fiddle so I may put my hankerings on hold for a while!!
ReplyDeleteAll kids - big and small - should have a huggable, squeezable 4 legged friend ...
Well done Fixit!
Congrats on the new addition.He's lovely! The boys look so happy!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!

Perfect name. Looks like Bertie's fitting in already!
ReplyDeleteOh he is GORGEOUS! My cat Lilly thinks so too, she's looking at his picture and purring madly!
ReplyDeleteOh Bertie is so cute!
ReplyDeleteHello Bertie! He is beautiful. Climber and Cherub look so excited! That Fixit is a keeper isn't he?
ReplyDeleteHe is very cute. Let's hope he stays that way, and doesn't grow into a badly behaved big boy like our two...
ReplyDeletethat is soooo cute - I am actually a dog person but something is happening to me of late and I feel we need a little cat in our life. he looks divine and ready to be squished and cuddle by two excited boys!
ReplyDeleteWell that is just bloody fantastic.
ReplyDeletethat cat is gorgeous.
Good cat.
ReplyDeleteI expect yet another motorcycle will arrive shortly.

I've had two Burmese cats in my life. They are the ONLY kind of cat worth having, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteHe's very light coloured isn't he? I take it 'chocolate' is different from 'brown' then? (Both my Burmeses were brown, and very dark chocolately brown).
Beautiful though. I'm envious, in a good way.
Awwww, so cute! I'm jealous, where can I get one?
ReplyDeleteOh he's beautiful. My boy is a Tonkinese and he's sitting here with me as I catch up on blogs.
ReplyDeleteBurmese are gorgeous. There's a chocolate in the next street over from us and she's the most friendly cat with a beautiful shiny coat. I hope you enjoy your newest family member.
Oh my! Competition for the catlets! Bertie sure is a handsome fellow......
ReplyDeleteAwww! I so love cats. And what a great name, Bertie!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous!! Bertie is a great name too. I hope you get lots of chances for cuddles too and you don't have to fight with the kids to play with the cat.
ReplyDeleteAwww, congratulations! As you probably know, I love cats, so you get a big tick of approval from me.
ReplyDeleteGood you stayed true to form and got a cat that is gorgeous, to complement your gorgeous sons.
And you of course.
And Fixit too.
Pssst, I've passed on a little bloggy award to you.
ReplyDeleteOhh. I want that kitty. He is just adorable.
ReplyDeleteomg that is the cutest kitten!
ReplyDeleteEeww. Bloody cats.
ReplyDeleteLovely impromtu holiday!
