Lu-Tze is coming. He's not yet ready to leave his home. Early November is his ETA at the HouseOfVirge.

We visited him today. He wasn't completely pleased at first.

Lu-Tze

When we visited we found that Lu-Tze's mother had finished her breeding days and was looking for a place to retire. Guess what.

With that particular expression on his face, your kitten-to-be bears a striking resemblance to my rat-that-is...right down to the demented sparkle in the eyes.

What breed is that? Looks Siamese-ish. Had a lilac-point Siamese for 14 years. Died last winter. Very loving but extraordinarily loud, kind of destructive (ate a blanket off a sleeping child, tore up couches) and literally the most persistent creature I've ever met. Could push her away 40 times and then you'd look down and she'd be on your lap / have eaten your food.

Lu-Tze is a Birman. To quote from the breed information at http://www.cfainc.org/breeds/profiles/birman.html :
"The Birman personality is marvelous - gentle, active, playful, but quiet and unobtrusive if you are busy with other things."

I hope Lu-Tze will live up to the Birman breed information. It sounds perfect for us. Gandalf (our blue-point Persian) was a very tolerant cat. He used to be vocal from time to time, but never was destructive.

Interesting. I've never had a long hair. Well not true. Found a kitten on the street. The mother was a short hair - she is the mother of our other cats - but the father must have been a Maine Coon. This guy was about 15 pounds at 1 year and, though he had long hair, his favorite activity was beating up other cats. Then he ran off. None of the wild cats I've caught has ever destroyed anything or bitten anyone. All of the bought cats - the expensive breeds - have done both. Our next cat will come from a shelter.

Enjoy Lu-Tze.
