Gosh Burmese are so naughty

 we have had Siamese for 15 years both showing and breeding them and they can have their moments but nothing like the naughtyness of a Burmese we have now discovered

[noshed]

A lot of people won't believe you without some pictures

[Rubellite]

No, I don't believe you

Ha Ha

Don't even think of having a Christmas tree this year!

[Paul Plots]

We are presently catless for the first time in many years. My OH wants to get another.  :blink: But, the furniture and carpets are only just beginning to recover.... 

I know they are lovely but the damage the things do is costly and quite upsetting at times.

[Angus]

so when did your one calm down Janet?

Our Siamese have their moments but this Burmese boy is into EVERYTHING

[Caralou]

I dont think they do calm down Angus....  Burmese are a very intelligent cat which makes them all the more naughty!

[janet12000]

Peter calmed down when he was about 3 years old.  
But when I say calmed down, I only mean a little bit!
It helped when we got another cat for him to play with.   (have a word with Caralou)

Peter is 5 now and still behaves like he is a kitten......a clumsy one at that!

He wrecked everything.......curtains and blinds, door frames, wallpaper, carpet, the fish tank...

I had to put a child lock on the fridge to stop him getting in, but he fathomed that out after a few weeks.

As I am sure you will know though, Burmese go on a mad crazy wrecking spree, and then they come up and fuss you and are the most affectionate animals ever, and you forgive them because they are so cute!

Where did yours come from? Peter was a reject show cat.  
I think the in breeding may make them a bit daft.

[janet12000]

I dont think they do calm down Angus....  Burmese are a very intelligent cat which makes them all the more naughty!

I wouldn't describe Peter as 'intelligent'! 
Bonkers perhaps? 
Obviously we love him to pieces.

I couln't find a siamese kitten anywhere last year, so finally had to get one in Paris (see other thread somewhere).
I felt that it was a mistake, but you know how it is    

How do you treat a 24/24 hyperactive cat ?      

[mumofstig]

with respect cos you'll never get one to take a tranquilizer

[tode]

I wouldn't even try     

This one's learnt how to do J turns by bouncing off the walls.  A bit like those super-bouncy little balls that used to be the rage.  But with fur on.     

[janet12000]

How do you treat a 24/24 hyperactive cat ?      

In my experience with Peter...... you can't! Expect your house to get ruined, oh and if you go away on holiday, make sure you are prepared for the cattery to say " I don't think your cat is suited to this environment". Effectively banning your little furry bundle of trouble!!

If cats could have ASBO'S..... Burmese would be on the list! 

[tode]

No, I can't believe that anything's worse than a Siamese   

So far, she hasn't actually spoilt anything, though.   (Well, apart from the brass vase that she dented).    But she murders her scratching posts.     

[mumofstig]

My Siamese comes charging down the stairs hits the front door, flips over and skids across the laminate floor towards the kitchen..when she hears me open a cupboard door for her pouches Not a very dignified approach
She can even tell which door that is, cos she doesn't do the same trick for the other cupboards
