Maddie and Sasha almost ready for Christmas

My son Sasha and grand daughter Maddie are a father and daughter pair who live on the BC coast with Marlene and Ken.  As you can see they are almost ready for Christmas.

Maddie thinks she's the best Christmas decoration - even when she's hiding under the Christmas Tree

Sasha is just taking life easy and waiting to get gift wrapped.

As you can see they are both taking the perfect cat like approach to enjoying the holiday season.

Black Kitten

The typist has been complaining about the challenges of taking pictures of Black kittens.  As you can see they are actually many colours  but their features all tend to blend together in most light.

When you can actually see them - they are pretty darn cute!

Litter I born September 10, 2012

I'm proud to say that I now have 7 beautiful grandchildren that will be 5 wks old tomorrow.  There are four classic tabbies boys, two black girls and one black girl.  My beautiful daughter Anna is doing a great job of mothering this every hungry gang.  

You can see what beautiful bright-eyed beauties they've become.  They are starting to explore outside their basket and there will be more pictures soon of playful antics.

Chunky Monkeys

Well Litter H is certainly growing up quickly.  At three weeks they are quite the little butterballs who are starting to move about and play, play, play.  Hence the name Chunky Monkeys!

Their mother Elina continues to be an excellent mother who feeds her kittens well.  They have been gaining 15-25 gms per day. This week they will probably be venturing out of their home basket so we should have some action photos for the next post.

Hope you enjoy my cute grandbabies as much as I do.

Murlyka Dainty Bess (Kaede) and Murlyka Distant Drums (Karumi)

Just over 2 years ago Prekrasne Roxie Hart of Murlyka and my son Sasha had an amazing litter of 7 kittens.  These two beautiful girls from that litter went to the lower Mainland to live with Karou and her husband.  They fittingly received Japanese names Kaede (Maple tree) and Kurumi (Walnut tree).

They were best buddies then and remain best buddies at 2 years old. 

Just checking - no bugs in the bathtub!

Karou reports that they are wonderful girls, who love to chat and trill and bug catchers extrordinarie1

Murlyka Eliza (Milaya)

Happy Birthday Milaya

 

Murlyka Eliza (now known as Milaya aka the Princess) turned one year in May.  Her owner Suzanne sent us some great pictures.  As you can see from the pictures she is not a big girl,  but  does she has my beautiful warm brown tabby coloring, personality and energy to burn.   Of course until the energy is all burnt up.  (See below)

Love to see my babies in happy homes and Milaya is definitely seems very happy in hers.

And then there were five

Sadly, one of the tabby with white boys died yesterday -  he never learned to nurse and then got an infection. Despite round the clock care by the typist - it was just too much for his little system. Much as we hate to lose a baby - his struggles are now over.

The good news is the other five kittens in the H litter are definitely thriving and are fat and healthy.  Their mother Elina is proving to be an excellent mother.  Little Heather, the only girl, has doubled her birth weight and now weighs a whopping (for her) 149 gms - just a bit bigger than her brothers when they were born. She may not be the biggest but she is probably the feistiest.
