    What a gorgeous girl! And I like Beaujolais better than her actual name, too!

    Ha Karen, that's actually what I've been calling her, since I'm not sure I can pronounce her name right (the family is French).

    I'm doing what I can to convince her family to get a sister/brother for her. I spend about three hours with her every day. Will be cat-sitting again in October.

    What a beautiful girl!!! Please give dear Beaujolais some pets and skritchies from me.

    I bet she's lonely, being alone so much when her people go away so often. What a good idea, for you to take her home, Randi!

    Bourgeoise, you are a very beautiful lady! I agree that you should go to Randi when your people need to leave again. Your coat is so fluffy and long, I would love to pet you! I am sure Randi will give you plenty of petting for everyone on Pet Talk!

    She is STUNNING!! A Norwegian Forest cat or Maine Coon is my guess. Very regal looking. If I were petsitting, I'd make her go poof!!!! J/K

    I can't get over how beautiful Bourgeoise is. I hope she gets to stay with you when her people have to go away again, Randi ... I bet she would enjoy being with you and NOT being alone. She's gorgeous!

    Try this: boor - zhwaz. That should be close to her real name! She is STUNNING!

    "boor - zhwaz". I finally got in the habit of saying just that - after having called her Beaujolais and Bonjour. LOL!

    Or boor - zhwaz - zee.

    Thanks Candance, I was trying to figure out how to help her pronounce it.

    She is a stunningly beautiful cat. Her coat reminds me of old driftwood...Somewhat bleached with a variety of colors and a certain sheen. I happen to like driftwood.

    She is really stunning! I love her coat colours - so pretty. This must be so good for you Randi and I think Bourgeoise is very fortunate to have a special friend like you to care for her when her purrents are away.

    RIGHT - I forgot the last "zee" part.

    Gorgeous girl!
