Every body has a home to go to

Just to say a big thank you for the response are had yesterday to homing of Cadbury and Caramel after they became available again . You will be pleased to know that they are going together to some dear friends of ours , a great family home with one very excited 10 year old who with adore them both. I thought I'd share a few photo's as well of Henry who captivates every bodies hearts a real star of the show I think you'll agree?

WoW!

WE are all doing well this end on Friday at a week old Tiny Tim Weighed in at 103gms ! Which is absolutely brilliant, especially as I haven't been supplement his feeds since last Tuesday! To put it into perspective Sopretty had her Kitten ( yes only one again!) in the early hours of Friday Morning and it weighed in at 102gms! You can see the difference in his size when you look at him now against Missy's foot and at 3 days!

Missy Update

There is good news and bad news! Little Tiny is still fighting and weighed in at 63g this morning, you can see how small he is when you compair him to Missy. So fingers crossed he keeps going well, early days yet I know but he's even more important to me now I know that he will be Missy's last. Poor Missy had to have her womb removed today as it was strangulated , having twisted around it's self so there was no way the others could have got out , which is why the Oxitocine didn't work. She has come through the operation I have to collect them both at 2.30.

KT kitten Update

All the babies are big , beautiful and full of mischeif! Here are some photo's I caught this morning of Cadbury ( Seal ) , Henry ( Tabby) and Caramel (Tortie) having fun playing !

Missy ! No sleep last night!

Missy had a very tiny kitten last night , only weighed 56g!! Early, but it has some fight as it weighs 60g this evening and is still with us! I spent the whole night up with her expecting some more but no show. So it was off to the vets this morning for a scan. sadly although there appears to be another couple in there there were no signs of life so she has had some injections to hope fully enable her to pass them with out having to open her up! It's at times like these when your exhausted you wonder why you put them and you through such heartache ! So please think positive thoughts for tiny one to have the strenght to keep going and Missy to go through the next few hours successfully. Looks as if I'll be up all night again tonight.

Naughty KT!!

I have to admit to a security issue! 11 weeks ago KT decided that she wanted to find her own mate , and fancied a bit of rough dispite the fact that I had a fabulous boy lined up for her! So she escaped through one of the small windows in the conservatory and arrived back next morning very pleased with her self and no longer calling!!! 2 weeks ago she gave birth to 4 little cuties so I can be too cross with her even though it puts my breeding program in chaos for her this year! So if you are after a half ragdoll kitten, please get in touch there are to dark chocolate ( not really black- one of each sex , a tortie and tabbie- male.

Calling all owners of my cats and kittens!

I am going to do a calendar again this year. So if you have a beautiful photo of your darling that you feel might win a place in it . Can you email it to me. It needs to be a very high resolution to make a decent print.
Good luck with your photo's may be you'll be seeing it in print!

Exciting news!

I had this email today which I just had to share with you! Sookie was Joy and Tylers kitten from last year.........................................
Hi Tanya, apologies for not being in touch recently, I can't believe it's August already! Anyway I thought I'd let you know that Sookie is 'ragdoll of the week' on one of the websites I really like, there are lots of pictures of her and some stories if you'd like to see how she is doing. http://www.floppycats.com/sookie-ragdoll-of-the-week.html Also I take so many photos that I decided to start my own blog, so Sookie and Mr Darcy now have their own site! It's only a bit of fun but I'm quite enjoying it and some people have even sent me their own pictures to do a story on. If you know of anyone as mad about cats as me who'd like to show off their cats, please do point them in my direction! I hope you and the family are all keeping well, I still enjoy seeing your updates on all of the kitties on the blog. Laurawww.kitcaboodles.blogspot.com=^..^=

Herbie at 6 month!

WOW time flies! Herbie is now 6 month and is going for the snip tomorrow, our thought are with him. A necessary evil. Thank you Natalie for the photo's.

News Flash - kitten Available

Just got back from holiday! ( which is why , I've not posted recently) . Joy's kitten's are having last vaccinations on Friday, so will be ready to go the following weekend. However I have one very handsome boy now available due to a prospective owners change of circumstances. So if you would like to adopt him please call me.

Update on Molly ( Herbie's Sister)

Just a bit of back ground on Molly's new home she went to join a red point Ragdoll , Goose, who was very depressed after having lost his litter mate , Mavirick to HCM. It had been very distressing to everybody in the family as he had his fatal attack while he was alone at home with Goose, When Laurey arrived home poor Maverick was in such pain the only thing the vets could do was put him to sleep. Goose then as his brother had to under go numerous test to check he wasn't in danger of suffering the same fate. So when they came to us it was very important that Molly was HCM negative to guard against any further distress for all concerned. They were very nervous when taking Molly home as how Goose would take to her as the new girl.

However this is the email I received yesterday with the photo's:-

As I said in the text Molly is wonderful. She loves being with Goose and also following us around wherever we go. She loves playing fetch - she has a little duck teddy which she brings to you when she wants to play. She has a big appetite and her and Goose wake me up every morning without fail asking for brekkie! She loves talking to us and I literally cannot do anything without her playing - when I sweep the floors in the morning she hangs off the brush, she hangs off my hand when I use the floor wipes, she grabs the washing when I am getting in ready to go in the washing machine, she just does not stop, ha, ha.

How could anyone even think of doing this!

If you'e ever thought that declawing might be an option , please think again apart from the fact it is illegal in uk . it's barbaric and make me feel sick at the thought that anyone could mutilate there beloved pet in this way , it may be illegal in England but it is not uncommon in USA! See a few fact at http://bit.ly/aFKUQb .

Breakfast time with Bella and George!!

Not my recommended diet for cats at Breakfast , but Bella and George seem to think that Glyn needs a bit of help!

Fluff Ball :)

Herbie Update!

Herbie was 5 months old on Tuesday, I can’t believe how quickly the time is going! He’s doing well. He’s extremely inquisitive and playful. He also loves biting my feet and hands In the mornings, he loves snuggling into my face and always tries to lick and nibble my nose! He follows me everywhere and loves drinking out of my ensuite tap! I bought him a water fountain recently which he loves. I have attached some pictures so you can see how he’s growing. Natalie x

Sad News!

Had some very sad news yesterday one of Dora's babies from last year , has been killed on the road, it was a fair distance from his home and his owner felt far enough to be safe, they live down a very quiet lane that only leads to the church! but unfortunately to Milo 's cost it was not.
this is the note I received from poor Jo.

"I am devastated to tell you that we lost Milo on the road early this morning. We are so upset. He went out very early and we think he crossed the busy road when it was v quiet... I have never seen them venture that way before.
Anyway, so sorry we didn't look after your baby properly.. :(
I am spending a lot of time with Monty to make sure he is ok, he is meowing a little bit around the house, so I guess he is calling for Milo.They used to play together out in the long grass and it’s heart-breaking to see him all alone. "

I am sure like me your thoughts go out to Jo, John , Harry and of course Monty ( who has lost his brother) who are all understandably heartbroken at the lost of their beloved Milo, Please be careful for your babies sake when and where they are roaming , as it may be further than you think and they are really to gorgeously daft and innocent that they can get themselves into all sorts of trouble some that can be fatal!

May I also point out if you have a multi cat household and you lose one for whatever reason, I have found it does help if you can allow the others to see and sniff the body, otherwise they can get very stress looking for their buddy not knowing what has happened to them.
