Happy birthday Sunshine!

Hiep, hiep, hoera! Vandaag wordt Sunshine alweer vijf jaar!

Niet te geloven dat deze mooie dame alweer vijf jaar oud wordt. Dat wordt natuurlijk uitgebreid gevierd met lekkere hapjes en wij hopen dat ze er nog minimaal tien jaar achteraan plakt.

Happy birthday, dear Abby!

Abby is jarig! Ze is vandaag tien geworden en we zijn maar wat blij dat we dit mogen mee mogen beleven. Abby was (en is nog steeds) onze tweede Ragdoll en een verschrikkelijk schat.

Het is niet onwaarschijnlijk dat ze over niet al te lange tijd aan haar midlife crisis gaat beginnen want we hopen dat ze minstens twintig gaat worden!

New pictures of Fiddle

Isn't she a lovely girl?
Thank you Marjorie for the new pictures of Fiddle (daughter of Muis and Lotje). We are so happy to hear that she is doing so wonderfull and that she really found her new family.

*Mister* Mouse is now *JUST* Mouse, originally uploaded by Tom Poes.

Mouse has been neutered. We had all the litters we would liked to have with him and he was getting a bit frustrated being a boy without girls.

Even though he did not mark his territory nor was he aggressive towards others, we believe that we serve him better by promoting him to his brother's companion than keeping him whole.

In due course we are going to look for a new home for him. But for now that moment is not neigh..

Glamour pictures

Last weekend we went to the TICACats show in German. As always it was a great show and we were happy to see so many (old and new) friends. It was Katy's first show as an adult and she already made four finals! Not bad for an eight month old girl :-).

We also had the opportunity to have our cats photographed by Graf. The pictures are super! And soon they will be added to the website. In the meantime a preview of the two brothers......aren't they great?

Scarlet and her new friend

Scarlet is feeling very much at home at her new parents. She shares the living room with a parrot called Rico and so far - and to our great surprise - all is well.

Rico has been used to living with cats and likes the company. We just hope that Jenny will continue to feed both on a regular basis :o).

Thank you Jenny for these pictures.

Tempus fugit

How times flies, at the end of this month Katy already turns eight months old and she is no longer a kitten but an adult cat (at least according to TICA). We loved showing her as a kitten and fortunately she loved it as well :-). Because we didn't show her that much we took the opportunity to show her one last time at the Vienna TICA show last weekend and she did great!!! She got 8 finals in which she even got two first places as best kitten!!! We are sooo proud of our little girl and we hope to show her as an adult with the same love and pleasure. For a cat who likes showing as much as Katy it is a treat to show her (off).
