We have had Chessie since he was a kitten ( born in a barn ). Just a little gray fluf ball. he is now 7 years old and a momas boy. Bart and ET came to us on Feb 9, 08. bothe are about 5 years old Bart at 21 lbs I call my big Teddy bear and is now ansering to Bear. he just loves to be brushed and loved. ET is about 12 lbs. and she is very voical. is any thing move with in 3 feet of her you will at lest get a low growel or hiss. She loves to be groomed, but if you slow down or stop you will get told off. She does like to sit on my lap and watch tv. For the most part they get along great with the rest of the CREW. Both are always good for a head but.
