Fair-dinkum Aussie cat

We only met two cats to talk to in Australia. Are they an endangered species there? This is Irrawaddy, whose person owns the house we stayed at for the last two nights. I've not really talked to a Burmese before, let alone an Australian Burmese, but it seems that like the Common or Garden Alley Cat (such as Eggy, if he'll forgive me saying so), they like to try to get round a room without touching the ground and with scant regard for objects of value.

Anyway, goodbye Irrawaddy, and goodbye Australia - and hello, 24 hour plane flight!
