I'm Amante's Izzido - Nökö to my friends (everyone). Welcome to the blog of Murlyka Siberian Cattery, located on Sunshine Bay, BC. Learn more about the cattery at www.siberianskittens.ca. Remember: Siberians bring Sunshine to your life!
Miisu has settled in our household although she and Roxie aren't best buddies - they do tolerate each other and in the mornings have fun playing sparkle ball together (provided each of them get their own sparkle balls). As you can see from the picture you can see that Miisu makes herself at home.
'Miisu' (her home name) traveled with the typist all the way from Finland. Speaking from experience - sitting under a airplane seat for 3 flights totally 15 hours in the air (not to mention all the hours in transit) is no mean feat for any cat! But like me (a sturdy Finnish Cat), Miisu came through it well. She has been here about ten days and has been settling in nicely.
As you can see she is a colorful and beautiful girl who is very athletic. Her name comes from her harlequin color (hence her registered name) - which means she is mostly white with large patches of color. Miisu's patches are orange (red) and classic tabby which also make her a torbie cat. She does have a bit of "Torbietude". Some people interpret this to be temperamental - I think of it more of having opinions and being able to voice them! She is very affectionate and gentle kitten who loves to come for a pet then be off on her explorations!
Its great to have another Finnish cat living here at Murlyka. I guess once you know one Finn Siberian you want to know more.

Prekrasne Roxie Hart of Murlyka made her show debut last month. We just received these pictures. She wasn't very happy with the loud noises at the but did show off her beautiful self for this judge. She won two finals as a kitten in a very strong group of kittens. Well done Roxie!
Murlyka Belle Story (Chloe) attended her first cat show two weeks ago. Here are some pictures her owner Katharine took. I'm going to brag now - isn't she a beauty! She looks a lot like her mother Anya but has my classic coloring and good boning!
We are pleased she became a TICA champion - she is only 9 mons old and was competing against huge 5 year male cats. - see her beside the Maine Coon below.
Although we live on Sunshine Bay - in winter sunshine is a rare commodity. So I take every opportunity to catch some rays. Today was another good day for sunbathing and the rock garden just outside the house is the perfect spot.
Another highlight of the day was some visitors - Marie-Helene and her daughter and grandkids - its so nice to meet new people and lap up the compliments.
It's springtime in the Kootenays. The sun has been shining and the snow is melting quickly. I've been out enjoying the sunshine, lying on the rocks and soaking up the rays!
Don't know if you're familiar with the great children's books of Sandra Boynton (e.g But not the hippopotamus). She's a quirky writer (books, cards and songs) and illustrator. The typist says that in my full winter coat I look like a Sandra Boynton Cat. What do you think? I don't remember ever using a telephone though - I leave all those chores to the typist.
Here I am fulfilling one of my New Year's resolutions to get more exercise. I started by watching the typist shovel the walks and then to make sure she got a real workout I took her on an obstacle course through the trees! We are in the midst of a snowfall warning so she should gets lots of opportunties for shovelling!
May your hopes and dreams come true in 2010!
Wishing you and your families the very, very best!
