birman catbirman catI was at the pet shop of Makati Cinema Square, looking for an anti-flea medication for the pets at home when I spotted these kitties. How adorable. This Birman kitten mewed as I approached the cage. So cute. Then did a cutesy pose. He looks like a cross between a Siamese cat and a Persian cat. I looked at the price. Birman Cat, No papers, 10,000 pesos ($196.00). 10,000 pesos, really? I exclaimed. The salesman said it costs 36,000 pesos ($705.00) if the cat came with papers but he could gives me 1000 pesos off the asking price. Our Siamese cat came without papers and cost only 2,000 pesos over 7 years ago. But this is a Birman Cat. Unlike the Siamese cat, Birman cats are affectionate and soft-spoken. Lauren’s Siamese pet can be such a loud mouth. I really want to buy a pet cat of my own or even adopt an ordinary cat. See, the existing pets at home are owned by the 2 girls. They refuse to be petted by me whenever the girls are around. The kitties clamber up to my chair only when the 2 girls are at school

In fact, he surprised me by buying “The Everything Cat Book“. It’s enjoyable to read and contains a lot of information I never knew in caring for cats. He knows I love these furry balls.

But a cat book is different from having a third cat. Mother’s day is coming soon, as Lauren quipped. Hmm?!

*Edit: The next day….

The other kitty got sold and Lauren wants to buy the remaining kitten. But I can’t afford it.

    dexie: that’s strange. I thought condos usually don’t allow pets. Cats are adorable pets. Hope you can move soon.

    Came here by way of Pinoyblog :) Am not a cat person, but I understand how that kitten in the photos can tug at your heartstrings :) and some condo buildings are pet friendly (like mine). I hope you get what you want for mother’s day :) hehe

    Hi,

    I wanted to tell all dog and cat owners of a new product I found about a
    month ago, it’s called, Frescopet It is al fragrant
    tag that attach to the collar, and provides a nice soft scent to your
    pet. I purchased a couple of the coconut Frescopets for my lab
    Hershey. She now has a soft coconut scent in between baths. Check out the site. ;) Anabelle..

    Please note: I have no affiliation with this website, or company, I just thought I pass this information to other pet owners that love their pets.
