To get another companion for Drillbit?

265 Upvotes

I had two beautiful bonded brothers which were born in 2021.

Nearly 2 years ago yardstick (liliac one) unfortunately passed away. I feel that poor Drillbit (chocolate one) is so lonely now. His whole personality has changed since loosing yardstick and he has now become quite similar to yardsticks personality. However he walks around meowing and he wants constant attention and I have a toddler so can't sit down with him during the day.

My husband and I are unsure if getting two more Burmese will help him or hinder him.

The positives would be that he isn't alone. However from what I can see online cats (unless bonded) will put up with another cat but don't necessarily enjoy it.

I need some advice from those with Burmese! Will it help him or will he feel even more pushed out.

We decided to commission a local artist to memorialize the wonderful cats we’ve had in our lives. Four are Burmese, a Himalayan and a fun buff orange mix. Lots of fun items on the back bar. Thought the community might enjoy the creation.

Vet help!

5 Upvotes

Hi all, my 2 year old burmese boy has thrown up 3 times this week which is unusual for him. Other than that he's been fine, drinking, eating, playing, acting crazy. I made an appointment to take him to the vet on Tuesday, but has anyone else had a similar experience?

Do burmese have tender tummies?

I'm feeling a bit worried...

Thank you for any help!

Two nights ago we thought we were losing our little man.

He’d already been at the emergency vet, then the regular vet, and he seemed to just be fading away and barely responsive. He lay between my daughter and I and we said our goodbyes and fell asleep expecting to wake up to him gone.

He was still kicking the next morning, so went back to the vet, and got more tests ($$$) - including a shaved belly for an ultrasound.

Brought him home last night. Bloods were fine. Ultrasound was fine. Repeat xray was fine. Then last night he’s lying on his side and wants to play with my sock. So I gave him a Mousey and he played with that. He didn’t play for long, still not 100%, but he’s gone from looking like he was on deaths door to wanting to play within 24 hours.

So glad he’s on the mend, but way to give us a major scare…. And yes - his belly is super soft and fuzzy 🥰

Ended up at emergency vet after he was in obvious distress - sedation, IV fluids, X-rays, and a soapy enema later he’s feeling better, but still has to get things moving some more.

And no more raw diet possibly - seems the bone and cartilage contributed to blocking him up. Sigh.

My girls are almost 15 weeks. Mo (chocolate) was originally thought to be a boy, but ✨️surprise ✨️ She had an injury at birth and is missing about ⅓ of her tail. Tilly (brown) hasn't thrown me any curve balls yet.

These girls are following in the pawprints of Smokey (lilac tortie, 20 ½), Romeo (red, 4 months - congenital), Cocoa (brown, 17 ½) and Latte (cinnamon, 17 ½).

I'm besotted. All of my cats have been perfect and my newest additions are no different.

Advice for play stations for a very cute and energetic Burmese boy?

Post image
168 Upvotes

Hello!

This is our Burmese boy :) I have played with the adult cats that visited my garden growing up, but this is my first time with a kitten living with me.
He’s been with us for almost two weeks now. My partner and I work from home, so we do interactive play sessions before every meal, for a solid 10-20 minutes.

As he gets more comfortable with us, I notice he is looking to spend more energy (running around the flat, biting and wrestling his many beds, sometimes even stalking our hands). We try to establish boundaries around acceptable play behaviour and redirect his attention on toys, but I think he needs more independent activity and environmental enrichment. He enjoys his vertical spaces and the window, but doesn’t care much about toys when he’s alone!

How you guys satisfy the mental appetite of your Burmese babies?
