Brach Lee

Brach Lee is Kukka-Maria's brother or husband (it's complicated). He is 7.75 years old. As you can see he loves to be brushed. He is delighted that Kukka-Maria has no interest in his brush, so it is his alone. He has an unfortunate attraction to string and will try to eat it whenever he finds any. This had very bad consequences in 2004 when he swallowed a piece of thread, which wrapped itself around the base of his tongue, then tore 18 holes in his intestines. Luckily, the vet was able to perform surgery to remove the thread and Brach recovered completely. Brach is a fun cat, but he gets very little blog time, as Kukka-Maria does most of the blogging, being the Alpha Cat, hence this limerick.

                                       Have you heard of a cat named Brach Lee?
                                       He's usually eclipsed by Kukka-Marie.
                                                But he's very smart
                                                And has a good heart.
                                       He needs more blog-time, does Brach Lee.
