Last Updated December 5, 2003
This page is dedicated to the enormous number of cats and their carers who have written to Custard saying what they think of the website and Custard. I have had to split this page into current and archive pages as it's getting so large. You will find a link to the older pictures and email's at the end of this page OR CLICK HERE
If you have or had a Birman, send me in an email and a picture. If you would like to have your Birmans picture on this page but don't have access to a scanner, send me an email and I'll give you a postal address to send a photo and I'll scan it for you.
If you don't have a Birman, don't worry, send me your email's anyway, (and get one they are so adorable!)
Remember there is absolutely no charge whatsoever for putting your cat's photo on Custard's friends page!

Name
Max, Lara and Oscar - (Carer - Joan) Hi Custard
Many thanks for including Oscar on your pages - he was beginning to get jealous. The three of us get on famously now and our owner says there is only one thing better than a Birman and that is another one! (and another one) Just for fun I attach a photo of the three of us on the climber (Joan had to add an extra bed once Oscar arrived) the order on the beds is very important. Lara has to have the middle one or else Oscar and Max keep wrestling which makes the whole thing rock! So from the top it is Max, Lara and Oscar. Keep up the good work - and happy belated birthday! Best wishes Lara, Max and Oscar (and Joan of course!) |

Name Kai - (Carer - Andrea) Hay Custard, We (me and my birman cat)
are from Zagreb, main town of Croatia. Attached is my blue pointed male
Kai (it means ocean on Hawaiian language) 1,5 months old. Now he is 4
months old. If you get this mail I'll send you the latest pictures. He
is beautiful. Also he is very stubborn and very very curious. He likes
to eat everything that we eat. I hope you were like that too, when you
were a kitten. Here in Croatia there is no many Birmans. We have only
one breeder.And people in Croatia don't know much about Birmans. We wanted
to tell you that Custard is a very beautiful cat. |

I found your website, just looking at different breeds--I
too was considering a maine coon, as I was looking for a large cat; I
just wanted to have a BIG bundle of fur to love (my husband and I have
two cats now, and we would like to add another cat as well as a dog to
our family after we move into our first home). However, after seeing pictures
of Custard, I think my mind has been changed--he is a BEAUTIFUL boy! I
cannot wait to add another kitty to our family soon....to me, there is
nothing like having a cat purring, and falling asleep on your chest. I
just want one more furry four-footed baby to love! Once again, Custard
is a beautiful boy, I hope you have him for many more years to enjoy!

Name Caesar - (Carer - Alexsey) Hi. We love your website. It's so nice to see all the pictures of much loved Birmans (and other kitties). This is Caesar. He was the best kitty ever. He died recently of the terrible disease, FIP; he was only 8 months old. We only had him for 4 months, but he change our lives forever. We just want him to know that we will always love him, and he will never be forgotten. He was our first Birman, but I'm sure he won't be our last. |

Name Flash & Topaz - (Carer
- Arlette) Hi there, We are Flash and Topaz, two
little brothers. Flash is a cream point and Topaz a red point Birman.
On the picture, you'll see Topaz above and Flash in the tunnel. Mummy
found out about red point Birmans, by surfing on your internet site with
the lovely pictures of Custard. She absolutely fell in love with red point
Birmans and decided to have one (after loosing her 18 years old cat in
June). We are now 8 months old. We live in Belgium and enjoy being together.
Thank you for making this internet site and greetings to Custard.

Name Not yet named - (Carer -

this evening while doing some surfing for Birman websites. I have two
moggies at the moment but am collecting a sealpoint Birman kitten on Thursday!
I'm just so excited! I wanted to thank you for sharing your beautiful
photos on the web. I have a digital camera too and you've given me lots
of inspiration for taking photos of my new arrival! I spotted that one
of your photos had a yellow colour cast and have removed this for you
in Adobe Photoshop. I hope you don't mind :) I've attached the coolour
corrected version. I'll send you some pics of my new kitty when I get
her!

Santamorra Ko Chang -posh or what!) Just want to say hello from Manchester
in the UK and that my two uprights loved your site and all the fantastic

Name unknown
- (Carer - G) Hi Custard, Custard Replies - I was bought from Schwinthe Birmans in Oxford England, and I don't always sit on your lap either. Though I am nearly always asleep somewhere! |

Name Sebastian
- (Carer - Kim Bowman) Hi Custard - Your daddy sure made a fun
website. I just found it today and really enjoyed all of your pictures.
Your mummy is a terrific artist; her paintings of you are beautiful, especially
the watercolors. (I know that looks misspelled, but I'm a Yank ...and
we don't know any better.) I have a cream Persian named Sebastian who
writes our annual Christmas letters that we mail out with our cards. He
keeps our friends and family updated on our doings. Sebastian, our only
pet, is 10 years old and kind of hauty and condescending, but I, my husband,
and our four-month-old baby love him anyway. Tell your daddy "thank you"
for creating your wonderful website. Sebastian is envious! - |

Name Snowball
- (Carer - Kristal Sweet) I found your website a couple of months
ago after adopting a kitty named Snowball from a local organization called
FAIR (Foundation for Animals in Risk). I was told that he was a 6 month
old flame point Birman. I knew nothing about this breed so I stumbled
onto your website while searching for more information about this special
kitty. When I saw Custard's pictures and read about him it was almost
as if you were describing my new sweetie. As you can see from Snowball's
picture he looks like he could be Custard's brother and he's obviously
very much into everything. Snowball is one of three kitties that share
my home and my heart. I guess I should say we share "his" home - I'm sure
you can relate. He is the sweetest kitty I've ever known and I'm so glad
that he came into my life when he did. He seems to adore me as much as
I adore him and the other kitties love him too. I can't imagine that there
was someone out there that gave up this precious little fur ball, but
I am so grateful that they did because he's enriched my life so much.
I really enjoy your website - reading about custard and looking at the
pictures and all the pictures and emails from Custard's friends. I will
continue to check up on what's new with Custard and you. Thank you for
sharing your pictures and your stories with all of us. It's nice to know
that there are other people out there that love their furry babies as
much as I do. |

- (Carer - JO Dewbery) Hi Custard Brilliant website. I am looking
at the possibility of getting a Birman and now I am sold. Beautiful blue
eyes. Might give my daughter boyfriend a complex though as his eyes are
bright blue, but I'm not sure he can compete. |

Name Sapphire
- (Carer - Scott Gibson) Hey there Custard, Just found
your web-site. it's great to see how many Birman lovers there are out
there! I have sent you a picture of Sapphire, who I'm really sad to say
passed away last year at the age of 19. She had a wonderful life though!
and SHE insured she was treated like a member of the royal family, fair
enough!! I've not been able to bring myself to replace her with another
Birman yet, maybe one day!!

Name Purdy
- (Carer - Geri Develara) Hi custard, Just had to drop you a line
to say you truly are an absolutely gorgeous cat. I don't have a cat -
I used to have a moggy called Purdy many years ago who I loved dearly
, she was devoted to my mother and when my mother passed away so did Purdy
- (yes, cats can be just as devoted as dogs). I have always liked long-haired
kitties , and now I like them even more, especially Birmans called Custard!

Name Abbey
- (Carer - JodieSwiney) Hi everyone Thought we would send a picture
of our new baby! She's beautiful and her name is Abbey. We picked her
up on Friday, she is 12 weeks old. She is a kitten if you are wondering
and she is a breed called Birman. We are spending hours playing with her
and trying to find her when she hides in all the nooks and crannys we
didn't know we had. Hope you like her Name Abbey
- (Carer - JodieSwiney) Hi Custard and Mum and Dad Just wanted
to tell you I loved your web site I'm in Australia and was looking up
names for my new kitten that we get of Friday. She is a blue point kitten
and looks just as lovely as Custard . |

Name Custard - (Carer - Mark
& Jilly) Hi Custard We also have a Custard cat
who was 3 years old on the 12th April. He is a ginger & white fluffy Norge
Skogcat (Norwegian Forest Cat). We nickname him Pants because when he
walks away from you, he looks like he is wearing a pair of big white trousers.
He tends to trill rather than purr & always seems to have a lot to say
for himself. When you come home he will trot up to you chatting away then
just throws himself to the floor infront of you & rolls over. He is at
his most affectionate at about 4.30am when he will wake you up purring
loudly then jump on the bed & brush himself against you. He doesn't like
to be handled much & soon starts growling if he doesn't get his own way.
Custard tends to sleep in a radiator hammock or on his catnip scratching
pad. His favourite pastime is chasing birds & mice which we certainly
don't encourage Infact he has so many bells around his neck, he sounds
like Rudolf. He has the softest fur & the prettiest face we have seen
on a cat & likes to play when not eating or sleeping. Enclosed photos
don't do him justice. We have two old tabby females who just don't have
time for him & consider him an irritating child. |

Name Kissa
- (Carer - Janis Dickson) We had five Birmans at one time. We have
had three bluepoints and two sealpoints, but never a flamepoint, as I
mentioned. All lived to be at least 14 years old. Eventually, their kidneys
went down, but I guess if you keep cats in the house and they are never
exposed to other illnesses, their kidneys do eventually give out. We still
have Kris, a sealpoint and he is 14 years and 8 months old. He came from
a different bloodline than our other Birmans and may be from heartier
stock. There is a lot of inbreeding in this country. Best wishes to all
of you and your Custard Name Kissa - (Carer - Janis Dickson) What a great name. We have one Birman
called Kissa (Finnish for cat). We chose this name having had our honeymoon
in Helsinki. Kissa is an extraordinary cat and every morning before we
leave for work my husband has to lie on the bed with Kissa and stroke
her tummy otherwise she follows him everywhere "complaining" until he
does so. We also have a British Blue and two moggies. I loved your site
but wondered is that a scratching post you have attached to your radiator
and if so where would one purchase these?? Custard - hope you are feeling
a lot better. |
|||||
|
Name Kris - (Carer - Betsy Poole What a beautiful website and what a beautiful
Birman. We have had five Birmans. Kris is the only remaining one. The
others lived long and fulfilling lives and have now gone to "cat heaven".
Kris was fourteen years old in August and his renal function is deteriorating
some at this time, but he is still a joy. We have never had a flamepoint,
but since I have red hair, it would be fitting to have one. We hope that
Custard stays healthy and doesn't get into anymore trouble! |

Name Lara - (Carer - Joan Clarke) Hi there I have just been reading your
web page and greatly enjoyed it - plus I am glad to hear you are 'on the
mend' after your 'op'. My owner has done a web page for me (I am far too
young to do one myself yet anyway!) and I heard about your web page through
the 'Your cat' magazine. I thought you might like to look at my web page
http://www.basics.freeserve.co.uk and see what a charmer I am! Quick note from Lara's owner As you will
gather she is an adorable Birman kitten - just about four months old and
has been an enormous help to me getting over the loss of my previous Birman,
Lucy, who died at the beginning of March aged 16 (her litter sister, Katy,
lived to be fourteen and a half!) I am getting her half brother in about
ten days but in the meantime I am one of her main sources of entertainment
and she has shown a huge interest in the PC and the internet sitting purring
away on my lap as I work on the PC!! I put a web page up for her so that
her breeder can keep track of her progress without me boring them stiff
and running up their phone bills by sending them endless photos - they
can look at them on the web if they want! I thought you pages were excellent
- would you mind if I put a link in to them from Lara's page? I was planning
to put a 'Links' page on there soon. |

Name Navarre - (Carer - Caroline
Grund) Greetings from Chicago! I'm so sorry to
hear that Custard has been having a hard time of it... I've enjoyed his
website for well over a year... and he seems to have such a wonderful
personality. I hope he's feeling fit as a fiddle very soon. I live just
outside of Chicago in a town called Evanston Illinois and I have a wonderful
female Blue Point birman by the name of Navarre with whom I share my life.
:) She loves checking out Custard! I'm actually writing with a question...
my boyfriend lives very close to Banbury England... and yesterday he lost
his beloved seal point Birman. He is completely heartbroken ..almost inconsolable.
I remember reading that you acquired Custard from somewhere in the Oxford
area which is not far from where he lives... by any chance to you recall
the name of the breeder or the shop from where you purchased him. He got
his little guy from somewhere in the South of England... but I would like
to be able to put him in touch with the name of someone more local. He's
been wanting a kitten for several months.. And I think that after a couple
weeks... he'll really be lonely if he doesn't have a kitty to share his
life with. And as I'm sure you would both understand... he's a Birman
only kind of guy. Is there anything better in this world than a Birman
snuggle!!!! :) So if you can recall the name of the breeder... I would
very much appreciate knowing. If not... I will completely understand.
Thank you so much for your time... and give my regards to the sweetest
little red-point in the UK! Kind regards, |

Name Sasquatch
& Capocine - (Carer - Andrew & Gwen) What a lovely presented web site. Custard
is a beautiful Cat and I hope he is well now. I have a 7month old Blue
point Birman who unfortunately is Desperately ill, he managed to contract
a PIF Virus and there is no cure But he is fighting it on his own and
we are just giving him lots of love. I Decided to get a Birman for the
same reason and before he fell ill he was the most adoring little thing.
Wishing you and Custard Well |
