Ready To Go


Skye gifted us with 6 babies on Jan 19. 3 girls and 3 boys so we had to name them after "Friends" We have Monica, Chandler, Ross, Rachel, Pheobe and Joey. Notice the really white kitten; that is Chandler, he was 1st at everything especially purring. He loved being held even when he was tiny like this. He turned out to be a flamepoint like his uncle, the rest are lilac and blue points.

Monica in front and Joey looking over her shoulder. Monica must be part parrot, her favorite place is perched on my shoulder.
Chandler napping on the couch in his customary spot.
Ross, is a sweet big boy.

Skye is a Birman (long-haired) Siamese. Ross is the only one who has the longer hair. He and Monica are Blue. Chandler is a flamepoint. Rachel is a lilac, she is not available yet as she is a bit smaller and is too little to let go. Joey and Pheobe are not available.

Sad News


A few weeks ago we lost our precious Weezer. He died in a tragic accident and we were so sad to loose him. He loved his babies. I would bring him to visit his kittens from time to time and he always licked them and made over them . He was a real sweetie. He had become good buddies with our Himalayan, Bilbo. After he died Bilbo cried and cried for him. Bilbo now has Solomon to keep him company.

This is Joey he is from Skye and Weezer. We will keep Skye to breed with Bilbo and Joey will be our new Siamese stud. He is a blue point like his dad and a sweet kitty. We are so thankful we have a boy from Weezer that we could breed with the Siamese girls.

What We've Been Up To Lately


Here Ross (collar) and Joey are exploring the new "Man Cave". We were able to enclose our back porch so that the breeding males could have their own territory away from the girls. They can get plenty of sunshine and fresh air. There are lots of things to climb on, scratch on, toys and tunnels. Currently Bilbo, our Himalayan stud and retired stud, Solomon live out here. When Joey gets a little bigger he will move out here permanently.

This is Buckwheat (sealpoint) and Darla (chocolate point). These were Myrrh's babies. These two went so quickly we never had to advertise them.
Here's Darla helping me with my puzzle.
Sheba (mom to Myrrh and Lily). Helping me with my puzzle. Sheba is my constant companion. Sheba is pregnant now, her kittens will born in a few weeks.
This is Bilbo. He is our new Himalayan Stud. He is a chocolate point. We will be breeding him with Skye eventually. She is a long-haired Siamese or a Birman. We are hoping for Himalayans with a bit longer nose. This promotes easier breathing and better overall health than the pushed in face similar to a Persians.
