Django is the lickiest, friendliest, floppiest, cuddliest
most devoted cat in the world.
ever

Django looks up The amazing Django is a Red Burmese cat, from a line with an English 'muzzle' rather than the American style flatter face. If you've ever met a Burmese you'll know they have a reputation for being the friendliest and most playful of cats, and Django is this and more.

The first time we met Django he was a little tangerine scrap of fluff, rushing about Mrs Melville's rustic homestead in Lincolnshire. Amidst scenes reminiscent of Wildebeest stampeding across the plains he, and his many relatives, charged about underfoot, and up and down the curtains, whilst we sat, chilled from several hours drive through the winding snowy lanes at night, and drank hot drinks. Claire had announced at 9pm that she had found the perfect litter of kittens in a small ad in the Cambridge Evening News and with an icy midnight fast approaching, here we were. Even at that age Django had his character - he licked us. He climbed up me and licked my face, purring. We had to have him.

These days Django is a big hefty boy, but he still destroys my attempts to work by clambering up me, pushing his wet nose insistently into my face and rasping at my nose with his tongue - purring wildly all the while. Then he flops on his back on my lap, asking to be tickled, and often enough slides onto the floor with a thump, intoxicated with his own happiness!

Django looks up Once a day Django asks to be let out, using such subtle techniques as staring at the door, knocking cosmetics off the cabinet and tearing up envelopes pointedly. Upon being let out he does a swift 10 minute circuit of the courtyard, smelling every lavender plant along the way, then pads back up the steps and knocks politely on the door, yowls briefly, then waits to be let back in. Django is very reliable...

The only other time Django goes out is on our trips to the Lake District when he gets to roam supervised on the moors, and does a sterling impression of a wild panther!...
