She has been absolutely perfect, she has the most beautiful personality, I have already had 2 families contact me to find our where I got her. Thanks Megan” September 2013: Jenny Jeffress who purchased 2 kittens (Brown Tortie Girl and Red Boy) shared.. Today couldn’t have gone better…. the kittens meowed a bit in the car but by the time we got home they were sleeping 🙂 Once home they hit the ground running…. playtime in a BIG WAY 🙂 🙂 🙂 They have only just gone to sleep, they played and played stopped for some brief rests, cuddles and scratches then back to playing….. such happy little kittens. They have both eaten heaps 🙂 �They seem really, really happy…. 🙂 They both love a cuddle and purr a lot, especially that Norman… he is a purr machine :-)� Thanks for making such great kittens Melanie, They are very special. …. they are amazing… I’m completely besotted 🙂 Will update again soon 🙂 ******************************************************************************************************************************** Hi Melanie, Ninja had a great first night with us. Much exploring at first of course, but settling very quickly. He is so affectionate– the whole family has had lots of purring and cuddles. Three small meals eaten and many trips to the litter, one normal poo this morning hurray! Couldn’t contain him too well last night- we tried the downstairs bathroom but oh the howls of dismay! So the litter got moved to our ensuite and Ninja slept on our bed- he knows how to get what he needs!!! We are all delighted with him, he is so lovely and so well trained already. Will keep you posted as he further settles, Liz P Picked up a Blue Boy in JULY 2013 ******************************************************************************************************************************** HI Melanie, Just a quick email to let you know that Oscar has settled in very well and an absolute delight. Oscar hasn’t stopped purring, since he arrived which must mean that he’s enjoying his new home and surroundings. He has a healthy appetite and is going to the toilet properly. Oscar loves his scratching pole which has serves several purposes, ie, sleeping, playing and scratching. Have logged in with the username and password. I was contemplating buying a book on Burmese cats but your website, really is a one stop, site jammed packed with useful information and interesting articles. Thanks again, and if get more time next weekend, I’ll email some photos. Cheers, Jodi Picked up Oscar – Male Kitten – April 2012 ****************************************************************************************************************************** Sandy purchased Scout (brown from us back in Mid 2010 and then returned for another little bundle of Suchi Burmese Joy in early 2011 –  Hi Mel, Well the girls seem to have settled in very nicely! Scout is taking the mother role – never lets Piper out of her sight even if it’s just tilting her head to see where she’s going. Piper’s used the litter box and scoffed down her breakfast – and proved you right, she moved on to Scout’s! Scout then reclaimed her bowl and finished off her own IAMS bfast – meat and gravy (normally it’s just the gravy)! Fingers crossed… Have to say a very big thankyou – I left for work and they were both on my bed, Scout grooming Piper. Couldn’t have been less fazed about me going to work. It’s better than I could have hoped for. So cute! Sandy x Sandy sent me the attached image withe the caption: “Couldn’t have cared less when I went to work!” �  � Received via email in November 2011 Cosmo is well and truly settled into the family. He has worked out how to open the bathroom door, and sleeps with Mitch in his bed. He is wonderful and has become king of the house! As you can see by the pic…he always finds the sun and the most comfortable spot. Thanks Trish  �Received via email after purchasing 2nd Suchi Burmese: Hi Mel, Honey had a good night last night and seems to have settled very nicely. Yesterday she decided to hide on us see if you can find her in the photo oh she likes to climb on Jo as� well.  Bye Sherene    **************************************************************************************************************** Via email 8.1.12:  Hi Melanie, It is amazing how fast the kittens have settled into our home. They are providing much entertainment with their exploration and antics. They especially love chasing the laser light around the room. This morning I found Mima, Chooch and Rob enjoying cuddles and rubs together.� They didn’t need much help finding the litter box and kept going in periodically through the night. This morning I found two small solid masses. I cleaned out the tray so they could start all over again. Mima and Chooch are also eating very well. Regards Mark and Rob.  ****************************************************************************************************************  Received by sms on the 7th Jan 2012  “Good Morning Melanie, Guess who has made herself very much at home? Bindi has had a great run this morning and a slide across across the tiles lol. She is eating well and using her litter tray. She slept well last night and was awake and ready to play at 6am. She has the best litter purr that doesn’t seem to have an off switch lol. Thanks for our beautiful little Bindi. Celia and Bradford T.”  ****************************************************************************************************************  Via email January 2012-  Hi Melanie, Just thought I’d drop you a quick email and let you know my little man is doing wonderfully! He is just so perfect and has completely taken over my life. He has such a beautiful nature and I can’t thank you enough for raising such an adorable kitten. We’ve had no dramas and the vet was very happy with his progress after his final vaccination start of last month. He’s also half way through the litter kwitter training and seems to be doing fine with some added Greenies encouragement. Sorry I haven’t updated you sooner but the time has just flown! Thank you again 🙂 Justine A  **************************************************************************************************************** VIA EMAIL JULY 2012 Hello Melanie , I wanted to let you know how great Kimba is going , it hasn’t even been 24 hours since getting him to his new home , and he is eating well , he has done firm pooies, he is so friendly and affectionate, and talk about confident with 1/2 hour of settling him in his new room, he had mastered his 5 tier play gym, romped all over his queen size bed playing in and out of the pillows …he has boundless energy and that little purr mechanism to hear that is very satisfying, please don’t worry about him, he is in good hands and we love him very much, you deserve to be so proud of him, he is quite the ambassador for Suchi Burmese . I will post some photos of him soon , Thankyou Kay and Kimba and Tony   **************************************************************************************************************** Received in November 2012. I love this update as Monty was (and clearly still is) a very special little cat… He was born with a broken leg (Birth trauma) and I was going to keep him due to the fact that I didn’t know if this was going to cause problems later on down the track. One front leg just pointed slightly off to one side…it looked quite Posh actually! He wasn’t for sale when Louise and Rob came to meet my cats and kittens back in 2005 but they fell in love with him and persisted in (nicely) pestering me about taking him 🙂 … obviously it worked as I finally gave in knowing they would offer Monty a lovely home and deal with any issue that did arise with his little leg. As you can read from the below Monty is in a wonderful home and his leg is going strong without complication at this stage which is wonderful news! Thanks for the update and for being such good “Parents”. Hi Melanie I just wanted to drop you a quick line to update you on Monte, the little cherub with the broken leg we “adopted” in 2005. Well Monte has been the light of our lives now for 7 years (hard to believe!) and is still as PURRfect as ever. He greets us at the front door as we get home, “talks” all the time, and still licks like a puppy when happy. We are now moving interstate so Little Monte (or as we often fondly call him – Mo) will be a country (indoor) cat! He remains the mutual love of our life and we recall fondly our first meeting in your lounge room when the independent little guy promptly trotted away, his little leg flying out the side! We knew in that instant that he was for us! Monte is our joy, he is still so much fun & playful as ever. Super playful with Rob and a real cuddle-cat for me. He is my “guard-cat” when I am home alone. I must say he has the shiniest coat I have ever seen and has a very discerning palate – which matches his “parents”! Hope all is well with you, the kitties and your family, Best, — Kind Regards, Louise R *************************************************************************************************************** Hi Melanie, My little man, which I’ve decided to call Silas has settled in wonderfully. He’s eating well, going to the toilet properly and being a really cheeky little kitten as you said. He just takes everything in his stride, he’s a little bit wary of the ceiling fans so far and has been great with my friends toddler when he come to visit. [============88e4 cfv lol he’s even trying to type you a message 🙂 Will keep in touch with his progress and thank you ever so much again, I’m absolutely smitten with him! Justine Owner of Blue Male from Tilly. October 2011 ****************************************************************************************************************  Hi Melanie Just to let you know what a delightful little fellow you have bred. He is confident (didn’t hear a peep all night when he was left alone in the bathroom with his soft toy and bed) and so very relaxed, snugly and affectionate with all of us. He eats heaps and drinks and uses his litter like it was an old habit! (2 poos already) …. Amazing. To add to this he is so much fun/ The girls have been playing with him all day except when he catches a nap.. Congratulations, well done! Marcelle Received (Chocolate Male kitten) Mya in September 2011  Update: December 2011″Mya has definitely become a part of our family as you can see from the photo attached! He is now desexed and is still a playful little buddy and loves his cuddles….”  ****************************************************************************************************************VIA MMS : “Hey Melanie 🙂 We are all home safe and Phoenix (Brown female) has settled in well, had a meal, checked out the house and is now playing with my mum (I’m not sure who is having more fun lol) Here’s a shot of her hiding in the shaggy carpet before jumping out at her toy 😉 I can’t wait for the kids to meet her. Thank you so much.Rina”Owner of Brown Female Collected in early September 2011.  Rina says…. (via email 27/9/11) “Phoenix has settled in so well 🙂 She is an absolute joy to have in our family. She has even won over my father who is now seriously considering purchasing a kitten for himself and my mum” ****************************************************************************************************************  Hi Melanie, Just a quick email to let you know our kitten is settling in well. Eating, drinking, sleep and play – all ok. Will introduce her to our cockatiels later today. Have made an appt. vet check & vacc next Saturday. Will keep you posted. Jo & Andrew Received (brown female kitten) in September 2011 Via email October 2010,Hi Melanie, Thought you’d like an update on our gorgeous Coco….she continues to be a ball of fun, so curious and playful. A purrfect kitten 🙂 Via Email 17th September 2011 Hi Melanie, Just a quick email to let you know how well our new addition is settling in. She is an absolute joy. So affectionate and fun loving. We adore her. Thanks again for our beautiful kitten. Jo & Andrew **************************************************************************************************************** Hi Melanie Both kittens are doing well…. They have both put on roughly the same weight since last month…. They are both a delight and gorgeous, winning over everyone. Here’s a picture Many thanks Jo and Steve (Melbourne, Australia)Owners Of Shadow (Brown Boy) and Sabala (Chocolate Girl). Received kittens in May 2011.  ****************************************************************************************************************Hi Melanie, I’ve attached a photo of my eldest son and Nala. She is so cute and loves the boys. She’s always climbing into my youngest son’s jacket and going to sleep. Kind regards,Cathy.Owner of Sharka (Blue Boy) and Nala (Brown Girl)Kittens collected in May 2011  Hi Melanie, Another photo of Shaka and Nala. Such beautiful kittens and beautiful natures. Shaka loves his food too! Cathy,  In late January 2012 Cathy and her family picked up their 3rd Suchi Burmese…I think they may be Suchi Burmese Addicts! 🙂 Here is some lovely feedback that I received in early Feb 2012…..Hi Melanie, Nandi has settled in really well and getting on very well with Shaka, and Nala only hisses and growls every now and then. Thanks for all your excellent advice and for producing such beautiful and good natured cats. Bye for now, Cathy. **************************************************************************************************************** Hi Melanie, We are so happy with our new baby. He is nearly 4 months old now and is getting better each day. He is the most affectionate, well behaved, loving, relaxed and playful cat I have ever come across and am so proud to be his owner! We have comments all the time in amazement at just how social and relaxed he is. Very dog like. Thanks for providing us with so much help and support after taking him home too which can sometimes be a little nerve wracking if you haven’t had much experience with cats. Nothing was ever a problem for you. I found you to be completely dedicated, passionate, helpful and courteous since my very first enquiry about purchasing a new kitten. As opposed the standard response you seem to get from every other breeder which is, We’ll let you know when a cat becomes available. You took me through every step of the way in a non-pushy manner and we found you to be very welcoming when we came to visit to look at all your cats and how you do things. You don’t charge the earth either which is refreshing. You get 10 times the service of any other breeder at often less cost. It’s clear you are in it for the love of the animals & making people happy rather than how much money you can make off people. It was an absolute pleasure the whole experience of purchasing Prince through Burmese Australia and I would not get a Burmese from any other person! I am convinced that Prince is so wonderful largely due to the love and attention he received from you Melanie from his day of birth and this goes for all of them. Not to mention he is the most beautiful looking cat I have ever seen. Thank you so much Melanie. Regards Carley – Owner of Prince (born March 07)    Hi Melanie, Prince is growing up beautifully I think you would be really proud. If he isn’t the most handsome of the litter I’d be very surprised. Perhaps I’m a bias mummy but I cannot imagine a more beautiful cat. I had the day off work yesterday and stayed home with him and he stayed on my lap the entire day whilst I was studying ‘etc. He is so affectionate it’s unbelievable and ALWAYS purring. Loudly!! He’s playful and very happy. He has been very very good with his kitty litter and his food. He gets very spoilt yes. He is my beautiful little baby and he follows me everywhere just like a little puppy dog! Watches me put on my make up in the morning and then follows me down the stairs. He loves our new house it’s nice and big for him and he loves sprawling out right in front of the heater on the carpet and falling asleep there. So cute.’And yes. He’s the boss. Well and truly. He quite likes checking out his scary shackles in the front of the mirror too. Quite the poser I’ll have you know. That picture I sent sums it up nicely for you yes. One big happy family. Carley –Owner of Prince (born March 07) OCTOBER 07. Hi Melanie!Thank you for your email. Little Peppa has made real progress. She is eating a lot and is very happy and purring and her and Prince are getting along like they are in love!!They lick each other and play with each other and Prince is constantly wanting to be near her at all times. It’s so beautiful. She’s going really well and we are so glad we got her! Thanks so much!! We are two very, very happy parents – yet again. Having two is even better than having one! Speak soon Carley – Owner of Prince (born March 07) and Peppa (born September 07) **************************************************************************************************************** Hi Melanie, My beautiful little k.d. is going wonderfully. She is eating like a horse (check out the belly!), and is full of beans. She gallops through the house, sounding like a herd of elephants. It’s hard to believe that something so small could make so much noise running! She and Molly are getting on very well. k.d. loves to play with Molly’s, tail and feet, or cuddle up to her for a sleep. She really seems quite taken with her new big sister. She really is the most gorgeous kitten. She has so much purrsonality, even at her young age, and is such an affectionate little thing. We are both totally besotted with her. Also, she is such a good little girl! She seems to have learned very quickly what NO means, and more often than not, that is all it takes to stop her doing something naughty. It is very obvious that she has been SO well raised and socialised! Thank you so much for our precious little girl. In such a short time, she has become such an adored member of our family All the best,Liz    Hi Melanie, I’m sorry it has been such a long time since I gave you an update on the progress of our little girl. She is just gorgeous. She is growing up into the most beautiful cat. Her coat has darkened to a beautiful rich smoky blue, and the cream bits are a lovely pumpkin shade. Her eye colour has come in very nicely, and the look of those lovely honey yellow eyes in the grey face is quite startling – a bit like looking at a black and white photo with just one part in bright colour. She has the most beautiful purr-sonality! She is affectionate, and funny.She just loves to be wherever we are, and will go and get a toy, usually her favourite mouse, and drop it so she can play with it around our feet. She ‘fetches’ when she is in the right mood, which we love. She will usually bring her mouse back to be thrown 5 or 6 times, but the other day she brought it back to Bob 27 times before she got tired of the game! k.d also has quite a fan-club, and likes to meet visitors at the door. Our friends all speak to her first when they come to visit, and we get a hello only after they have had a cuddle and chat with her! When she was smaller, we threatened to install a ‘Cat-Scan’ to stop any one from smuggling her out in a handbag! She loves Friday scrapbooking and card making night, and escorts my friends out to the family room, and shows them where they should sit (except for one whose trolley she likes to hitch a ride on!). She then checks all their bags and trolleys to make sure they have brought everything they need. She also likes to help by pointing out where she thinks they should stick a flower, or some other item, onto their work! I have attached a picture. Not the best one of k.d., and now quite old, but I thought you might like to see how she gets on with Molly the dog. I will send some recent ones when I get around to taking them off the camera! k.d. is very loved. She has us wrapped around her little toe, which is exactly where she wants us. If she gets shut in a cupboard or somewhere (she is a dreadful sticky-beak!), she doesn’t worry or make a noise. She is quite confident in the knowledge that she is the centre of the universe, and we are bound to come looking for her, so she may as well curl up and have a sleep while she waits for us to tear the house apart. I often look at k.d. and think to myself, ‘how is it possible for you to be so beautiful?’ You must be very proud of these beautiful cats that you are breeding! All the best, Liz |
