Phambala Mouji Pusan (BP 6 5 1990 - 22 4 2008). Bred by the Handscombs, by Snowqueen Lilac Legend x Phambala Belle Blue). Mouji was a cat with a sense of humour and loved to answer back. His favourite past-time was being combed. He was just 2 weeks short of his 18th birthday when he died peacefully at home, he had suffered with arthritis and balance problems. Mouji was the last of a pair of Birmans, his half sister, Sabra (bred by Shirley Talboys) dying at just 10 years with a tumour. He was an extremely affectionate cat, missed so much.

Chausette Tinsel Ming ( SP male born
02.12.1988 ) --------------------------- Tizzi aka Barijka Betsy
is 17! Not a
very good picture but taken a day or so after her 17th
birthday. She has developed a very bossy and piercing meow
which changes instantly to deep purrs when food is produced. Life
is generally very restful for her matching exactly our own
lifestyles. --------------------------- Dryslwyn

May 2009 --------------------------- Klassyklogs Karizma: (28.06.1991) a seal point female and litter sister to the late Gr Ch Klassyklogs Furst Edition. Karizma has just celebrated her 18th birthday, and continues to enjoy good health. Karizma lives with a Turkish Van, a Ragdoll and one or two other Birmans, she of course rules the roost!
Karizma lives with and is much
loved by Linda Paulden --------------------------- My loved Gimzo, a Birman cat, brown and white with blue eyes. Was born 1989 on valentines day and died 20 Nov 2009. He was a beloved member of our family. I am 24 years old, so he has been in my life as long as I can remember.
We live in Skåne, south of Sweden. --------------------------- I live in
Germany, near Hamburg and I had a Birman seal point for my 15th
birthday. Her name was Nena vom Samland, she was born
April 18th 1983 and died on first June 2003. Her great-grandmother was
Nadine de Khlaramour. --------------------------- We have a veteran Birman Goldlay Regalis (Ben) who was born on 23.11.89. He is still going strong and eating and sleeping well! He takes a daily walk up and down the road and is still very handsome! Also
Terglo Uncle Whiskers (Ashley) born
23.12.1994. He is descendant of Laurant Daniel, Laurant Sugar Dandy and
Laurant Libra Athene (she is also listed as a veteran) He was
adopted by us aged 3 when his family emigrated. He is still fit and
active, and will not leave us alone!!! ---------------------------
Jeni Baldwin, --------------------------- My female blue point Birman, Elchris Silmaril, born 3.9.91(Sil) is now nearly 18 1/2 years old. I have had her since she was a tiny kitten - not that she's big now, weighing in at just 2.37 kilos! Her kidneys aren't in the best of health, but medication has kept her going for the last 2 1/2 years. Like all Birmans, she is the most important member of the household, and dearly loved!

February 2010 --------------------------- My blue point Birman Willow (Imperial Grand Premier & TICA Quadruple Gr Ch Alter Goldlay Star Gazer) was 16 years old on 4th April. Willow's sire is Nighteyes Genghis Khan and her dam Lizzara Wysiwyg. Willow has enjoyed lots of good times at shows where she enjoyed strutting her stuff, but now enjoys her retirement by putting her paws up and expecting to be pampurred. She definitely reigns in the household with a quiet but confident air.
Marcia Owen ---------------------------
"I live in Cumbria and have two golden oldie Birman cats a chocolate
point 16 year old and her 15 year old seal point daughter. Both are
still going strong and enjoying life the only real sign of their age
being a shortage of teeth when eating their treats!"
Regards Judith Abel --------------------------- Santamora Sabatini blue point female known as Pip she was 20 on the 7th of April and this week she had her rabies vaccination as a prelude to getting a passport. She is due to move to the South of France before the end of the year. The vet said she was "not a kidney case" any more, after 3 years on a controlled diet. I bought a (finger) tooth brush for her to reduce the plaque on her teeth and I suspect she will end up enjoying her teeth being brushed as much as she enjoys her daily rake - which she demands. She was bought from breeders Geoff & Barbara Riley of Stretford, by her first man, broadcaster James Maw, who sold her to me when he started to travel a lot. By 1994, now owning a particle physicist, Pip became one of the first cats to set up her own web page:
I have known a few cats and without a doubt, she
is the most delightful of any I have known.
Robin Marshall --------------------------- Let me tell you about Sam....(Antonio Tandaloo) Sam lived to 18, Born 1 August 1989 and lived to June 2007. He didn’t have owners he had staff. He liked to run a tidy household. A firm but fair boss. Mother aka Cheff, Dad aka Chauffer, Sister Maid and Me Butler. Often entertained by a knitting needle a marble or a ball of wool. We now have a new Birman called Leo, he is the equivalent of a spoilt brat!
Regards, David
Crawford --------------------------- We would like you include our female seal point called Pepsi in your veterans record book. She was born on 27th February 1988 and was brought as a kitten by my brother from a breeder in Devon. We took her in when she was 5 after my brother had to move to London. She is on a special diet for kidney trouble and has a heart murmur but still manages to go upstairs and jump up on the sofa. Our vet has told us that she is one of their oldest patients if not the oldest. She amazes everyone who sees her as they can t believe her age and how she keeps going. Many times in recent years we thought her time was up but she keeps bouncing back, fits, dislocated leg, attacked by another cat resulting in a nasty bite and all the other ailments associated with old age.
We
haven't had a holiday since 2005 because we don't want to leave her
in the care of someone else just in case something happened to her.
We know straight away when something is wrong with her. Perhaps
that's why she's lasted so long!
