Merry Christmas 2011

Tron's Send Off

As you can see, the troop was jumping when they sent off Tron to his new home in Edmonton. As usual, Tron was his quiet self throughout the gathering, not knowing he had two days of driving on his way to his new home. Thanks to our good neighbours Tim and Geri, Tron travelled to Radium and on to Calgary where his new owner Patricia picked him then took him to his forever home in Edmonton. The word is he and his new owner Pat have bonded and are to a fine start...

Wishing Tron and all Murlyka kittens, wherever they may be, mucho purrs and a wonderful new year.

Murlyka Fantasia Mondiale (Fanny)

Last but not least - I'm pleased to introduce the last of our little girls. Fanny is the Queen of Purrs and loves to be cuddled. She will be going with her sister Fairy to join a little girl and her family in Kelowna. She is named after the Fantasia Mondiale rose pictured below.

Murlyka Floral Fairytale (Fairy)

It is my pleasure to introduce our sweet little Fairy - she is one of the smallest girls in the litter but has a heart that belies her size. She is a big time cuddler and purrer! She is named after the Floral Fairytale Rose pictured below. If you want to see more pictures of Fairy check out her web photos https://picasaweb.google.com/dianegam/MurlykaFloralFairytale.

Murlyka First Prize

First Prize (Pritzy) is the big man in this litter. He got the name because he was the first born of the litter - although we do think he has the potential to win a few prizes. He is a cuddly guy who melts into your petting and begins to purr up a storm. He is a lot like me - a big old lover boy.

Murlyka Folklore (Lori)

This is lovely Lori - her formal name is Folklore from the beautiful American bred rose below.

Lori, the kitten, is a spitfire of a girl - she is always on the move, running, wrestling with her brothers, pestering her sisters, tearing up and down the cat towers, chasing her toys, there is no time for this girl to slow down. That is until she drops and then she out like a light.

Murlyka Fresia (Sunny)

This lovely kitten from litter F is Murlyk Fresia. The rose Fresia is also known as Sunsprite so we've nicknamed this little girl Sunny. She is a ray of sunshine - sweet cuddly and playful as can be.

Introducing Murlyka Frederic Mistral

You might wonder why the picture of the old dude and then a picture of a pretty pink rose when this is a kitten blog.

Bear with us - it is my strange way of introducing my boy Fred (or Frederic Mistral to be formal). At Murlyka all our kittens are named after roses that are then planted in our gardens - that way when the kittens have gone to their new homes we have a beautiful rose to remind us of their time with us. The old dude is here because Fred's rose is named after a French poet and this what he looks like. So our Fred is obviously much cuter than the dude and definitely more handsome than rose. He's a very sweet guy with the "wild" Siberian look that we love.

TRON

Would the Calgary couple interested in Tron please contact me - I've misplaced your #

Thanks

Murlyka Kodiak of River Valley

Here is a picture of our Sena (now Kody) from litter E with his new owner Diane at a cat show in Halifax. As you can see at five months of age he is a big boy who takes after his dad. He did very well winning 8 finals out of 10 rings - including a best kitten. He even won the best Halloween costume dressed up as Puss n Boots. He loved being shown - so he should have a great career ahead of him.

Murlyka Litter F 2.5 wks

Everyone has their eyes open (except when sleeping) and they are starting to teeter around on their little legs! You can see from the picture they are starting to look more like individual kittens vs. generic fat little sausages.

Watch next week for individual photos and names !

Congratulations Elina!

Elina went to her first show last weekend in Edmonton. She is only 4 months old but she held her own against some good competition and came away with a Best Long Hair kitten and 3 other finals. Here you see her being judged by Pam Barrett who gave her the Best Kitten Final. Pam loved her boning and musculature --- She comes by it very honestly - her Daddy (me) is called the Tank or the Cinderblock and her maternal grandfather - SGC Sibirsky Russian Bear is even bigger than me. Thanks to Pam and all the other judges for recognizing a Siberian beauty!!

Murlyka F litter 10 days

Hi

This picture is a kitten pinwheel - 6 kitten bodies, 5 kittens heads! You'll notice the kittens look much more cat like and that some of them are getting my lovely warm brown coloring.

Next picture - they'll have their eyes open.

One week photoshot!

We had the one week photoshot for Litter F today. These little guys are growing like crazy and are getting cuter by the minute.

I think they look quite a bit like me but time will tell. Next week should be a time of eye opening and more growth. Keep tuned for updates.

Four Days Old - Fat and Happy

Well here is the Litter F gang at 4 days. They are fat and happy. KD is a great little mom and this gang has perfected eating and sleeping.

Watch for future updates.

Litter F has arrived

KD (Kobe's Dotchka - daughter of Kobe and Marta Sibaris) had her first litter of 6 gorgeous mackerel tabby kittens on Sept 18/19. She did a great job and delivered them all within 2 hours. She's quite protective still - so we think there are 2 boys and 4 girls. This may change once we get a better look at them. They are all eating well and getting fat little tummies!

A little too soon to tell if any of them will have my great personality, etc but even if they take after their mom instead of me, it won't be a bad thing.

Mother and Daughter Litter E

Hi

Thought you might enjoy some pictures of my beautiful daughter Elina and her equally beautiful mother Prekrasne Roxie Hart. Elina is a real stand out in the litter as she is the only one with 'with white'. She like her mother seems to be quite a feisty girl - so I think she will have no trouble keeping her brothers in line.

Bye for Now

Introducing Litter E

Well finally - the typist has got some pictures of Litter E. As you can see they are pretty cute and most of the them look a lot like me. There are 4 classic tabby boys (just like their papa) and one beautiful little girl who looks a lot like me.

They are 3 wks old here and getting ready to rock and roll. We hope to have more (and better) pictures soon .

My Fourth BIrthday!

Today's my birthday and as you can see I'm pretty mellow about it. Humans tend to get bent out of shape about getting older - but not me. Keep life simple and you too can be mellow.


You just need some good scratchers - cardboard is my favorite - it allows me to be very creative - there are a million ways to shred it.




















I also love the stretch I get from this cedar scratcher.























Then you need a good source of grass - to chew!



















A nice rock to view the world from
















And last but not least don't take yourself too seriously.



And there you have it - words of wisdom from a very wise and smart four year old.
