We've had Berliose now for 6yrs. We don't really want him. He is a grump. He hisses constantly at Henry(the other cat), especially when strangers are in the house. He doesn't really like to be pet. He meows to be fed all. the. time. Even if he was just fed 5min ago, he still meows and runs to his food dish. He has asthma.
We've come to a conclusion though...He is part of the family, and just like you can't get rid of grumpy old grandpa, we can't get rid of Berliose. No one else will want him. But he sure is handsome.
