Update: News on day one home: You'll love this. Ride down 290 was tough Mewing all the way then a U2 set came on and he calmed down and dozed. [He's named after the U2 guitarist] He slept from 8pm to 2 am hissed a bit so I gave him space this went on for 3 hours then he crashed till seven. When I went in he curled up and purred and let me hold him. He's slowly exploring. He actually started coming to me for a snuggle on the couch this afternoon. He is being playful.  Oh he likes sending email, sent 3 while I was typing when he walked across my iPad.

Update: News on day three:  I wanted to check in and give you an update on Mocha. He is adjusting well to our family. It took him a while to come out of the cat carrier when we got home but once he did he was looking for attention. He did not run and hide instead he was looking for someone/everyone to pat him. He is very vocal and lets us know that he does not like to be alone. He is very happy when we are in the same room with him but as soon as we leave he cries "saying hello, I am here were are you going" as soon as we go back where he is he stops. The first few days he had free roam between the living room and kitchen, last night we opened up a few of the bedroom doors which he was very excited about going to explore and loved jumping up on the beds. He is super sweet and shares his love with everyone, he will sit with one person for a while take a little nap, get up and play and then hop on someone else's lap to get patted and loved. I will keep you updated on how things are going and send alone some more pictures. I have a few of him playing and sitting with the girls. (He loves that mouse toy that you said he had not seen before). Thank you again!. 

Update: Flight home and first nights news: She only cried 1/2 the flight lol.First night I slept on the floor
so I could be a comfort on her level. She started out feeling best under the bed. Came to me form under the bed if she cried & I called her "baby" & moved my fingers like you demonstrated.  She is rapidly adjusting. Ate a couple of hours ago & just used her box 1st time. Once in she kicked around & had fun as well. Now taking a bath and I suspect getting ready for a nap on the top story of our bedroom condo.

Update: We are so in LOVE with Brady! He is so cute and cuddly and has a great Siamese voice - he is purrrrfect! We have been home this long weekend and having a blast. We let Clancy sniff Brady's scent on a bed, and vice versa. We then let Clancy sniff outside the Library on Saturday, and Brady was on the other side, doing the same.
This afternoon, we brought Brady into Clancy's area (Living room, Dining room, Sun porch) for some supervised visit. Clancy is so chill and low key
They are both just walking around and sniffing each other and the kitten is exploring

Update: At the end of Edith's first week home her owner says "Edith was a bit strange with us the first day and night she was here and hid just to drive us insane but it has all changed for the better.  She is truly a Daddy's girl, sleeps with Rich on the couch, sits on his lap and bats at the newspaper and talks non stop.  She spends a lot of time in our den and in the guest suite  above it where she sleeps in an antique four poster bed and where she  currently has her food, water and her little litter box.  As she becomes more accustomed to roaming around the whole house, we'll move things and get a bigger covered litter box.  She went from not really eating the first night to gobbling down her food and water, doing a lot of poops and Rich claims that  she's doubled in size.   She is a joy, loves to play, cuddle, talk and lies on her back with her paws in the air begging for a tummy rub.  Edith is full of personality...we LOVE her!!!   Thanks so much....Joan"

Update: July 30th, 2016

Matthew and Lawrence went home together so their update photos will post together too. :)

Their owner is an accomplished artist http://www.annchristensen.com

Update: May 23, 2013 after their first few days home they are... "Excellent!!!! They are the best! 

Rover (Matthew or Matt or Matty) adjusted instantly. Explored their space (master bedroom/bathroom) and settled in. Gene (Lawrence) is taking longer. If Matty leaves him for too long, he wails and Matty runs right to him. They love their toys, play a lot, chase each other and do 'fight and bite', 'spider walk' with puffed tails, etc. Lawrence is an incredible jumper. They're currently really into a long tube thing with toys inside. 

They like morning cuddles under the covers, lol, where Matty purrs loudly and writhes in pleasure at being pet anywhere. Lawrence loves petting when he is sleepy but is not yet purring. Sometimes this turns into fight and bite (with each other) involving running in and out of the covers, hiding toys in the pillows, etc. "

Update: May 31st, 2016 - "Lawrence has gained a great deal of confidence. He hasn't been calling for Matty. In fact, he may be starting to run the show. He has been the more confident with Pokey, our older cat. They are cautiously making friends. We are still supervising the interactions. Occasionally Lawrence purrs now. "

"This is random but.... these cats are softer than the finest pashmina!!!! Love that! And, of course, love them! Matthew and Lawrence are thriving, making us laugh a lot, and keeping our laps very warm (as if we need that right now!). Again. Thank you! "

"I really want to send you beautiful photos that do the boys justice, but it is so hard to capture them when they are not either in motion or sleeping. I'm sure you know! The minute the camera is pointed at them, they close their eyes, or move. These will have to do, for now. 

They are just wonderful and bring us so much joy! 

Matthew (Rover) is about 10.5 lbs. He is quite certain that I belong to him but he will allow Lawrence my lap if he gets there first. Or will just lie on top of him, which seems to work fine for Lawrence. Matty always defers to Lawrence - lets him pick the toy or activity or location and dibs on food. 

Lawrence is just adorable in every way, the way he walks, swishing his hind quarters, his goofiness. He really wants to walk on the ceiling. We call him sky-walker sometimes. He's often on top of the upper kitchen cabinets and basically roams around looking up. He has jumped on top of a full sized door. I am so relieved that we don't need to use a ceiling fan anymore! He is smaller than Matty by a pound or so. 

The two of them are nearly inseparable, either racing after each other at top speed, or asleep, touching. They are very friendly with visitors and instantly hop into a lap. Lawrence likes to be held cradled with tummy up (looking for some high perch, no doubt). Matthew likes to be held like a football, looking down. They both love petting and tummy rubs and brushing. Lawrence likes scratching on his neck (which I discovered first time we met) and Matty likes scratching around his ears. 

They are both happy and healthy. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Update:  Five days home and her owner tells us : "This kitten is totally irresistible. She shows that she was constantly handled and never saw anything but kindness. She has been sleeping with me (either in her open cat carrier next to my pillow or on top on my bathrobe on the chair in front of the computer). She has had supervised encounters with big cats. They are still not ready to be friends but she is eager to get closer and has a perfect sense of when to back up and sit down. Whenever she grooms her self while sitting on my lap she grooms the top of my thumbs as well, very delicately. So, she is wonderful."

Update: first days home -Jack had a rough start stopping to see the doctor on the way to his new home. He hid the first day but came out the next day and has been doing very well since.

"Jack was quite scared yesterday - he seemed comfortable at first and was letting me pet him and play with him - then I think he missed his family. One point I checked on him and couldn't find him - the room is not large. He finally meowed and he was under the armoire which has molding to the floor on the front and sides - but I didn't know the back of the piece has about 3 inches of clearance and it was up against the radiator - so there he was - how he figured that out astounds me! He came out this morning and let me cuddle him a bit, he has quite the loud purr! I checked his backside and it looks fine. I think with him under the furniture he didn't have room to try and lick it. I will watch him today as Dr. Gould said she had given him a pain medication that would last about 24 hours.
Dr. Gould just called to check up on Jack and I told her everything looked ok. "

"What a difference a day makes. Keith and just love Jack. They have really bonded. Jack's procedure seems fine and is healing"

Update: January 2016 - "Jack is getting very comfortable. Z is still unsure, but incredibly curious about this little thing! 

Jack is the Tasmanian Devil! He is such a ball of energy and adorable. I think Z is still trying to figure out if he likes him. 
Jack has healed pretty well. He is scheduled for the Vet on Tuesday and I will have her look at that. He'll get his vaccinations and we will see what they recommend as the next step for his eye care. "

I hope you are well. I wanted to send a photo of the boys asleep on my legs when I was a lazy couch potato on Monday. Z was asleep and Jack jumped up and decided to lay down next to Z. They slept like that for a while - then Z woke up and realized Jack was there and he left. I think we are making baby steps towards an eventual friendship!

Update: April 2016 - "Our wonderful Zephyrus is 3 years old today! (and Jack was 6 months yesterday!) They are still working on their "friendship" but we couldn't love them more. 

Thank you again for our boys."

This is something Balor did when he was younger too.

Update: December 2016-

Update:

The first few days home Madeline wins over her new big sister very quickly.

Update: Jan 30, 2016 -Madeline's owner says: "Things are going great with Madeline and Pixie. I wake up in the middle of the night and Pixie is curled up by my pillow and Madeline is curled up under the covers with me. Who would have thought based on our initial meeting. Pixie has two sacred places to herself still, the top of the tall dresser and through the cat door to the front porch. Madeline looks at her through the window all confused. She chases her right up to it but doesn't follow. The bathroom vanity and kitchen counters were eliminated this week. I'll find them both curled up together as well as wrestling and chasing each other playfully. Madeline is Pixie's shadow. Though I'm not sure she's so amused by this. Madeline is unfazed by the growls or hisses she is sometimes met with. They'll do a little grooming each other but it usually turns into a little wrestling. I'd delayed Pixie's annual visit so I could take them together. They both did great, though got a little shy when three people came in at once. They tried to get a picture of them together but couldn't. Pixie was still 8 lbs and bloodwork normal and Madeline was 4 lbs. She's looking more grown up these days. Last week I put a collar with bell on to even out the playing field. Give Pixie a little warning on the impending ambush. Anyway just wanted to give you a little update on the girls. Only one broken vase so far, lol. Madeline is a little treasure, very playful, snuggly and great personality. Love our new addition. Thank you so much."

I love this one where she is trying to do her comfy spread but the window sill is not wide enough for a full "W". 

Update: Jan 2nd - I checked in and Clovis is adjusting well. He has bonded with his new owners plays a lot and sleeps with them.. Jean says, "He is doing great! he sleeps with me and Mark, but really he prefers Mark, he is warmer! we play a lot, so far he feels safer in the master bed room, but I take him down for a few minutes several times a day, he will grow into his new home I am sure! "

Pensri working

Dressed up as Snow White for Halloween

Update: March 2016 - Pensri travels to visit grandma, I very happily received photos from his visit.

Update:  July 2015 - His owner tells us: "Alakai is doing very well now. He cried all the way home last Thursday. We felt so bad, as he cried when he got to our house as well. When using his new litter box he cried loudly the entire time. He would dig and dig in different areas and then finally decide on one. This has now all stopped as he is more comfortable. I'm sure he missed his family and all of you so much. Now he runs to greet us when we come in and does hops and jumps!

He loves to play all the time. This may sound strange, but instead of all the toys we bought him he loves to fetch single socks from the laundry basket as well as crumpled notebook paper, lol! His mouse is a close second choice. He becomes very active at night and cuddles during the day. We cant leave one drop off food around in the kitchen because he tries to eat anything. He is so funny! We are trying to stop his biting right now. He becomes so excited by the movement of a foot or hand that he thinks its playing and starts to bite. He does this mainly at night on the couch and when we go to bed. I'm sure he will outgrown this. I must say there is something about the faces he makes. There are so many expression that he has. I'm not sure how to explain it but his personality comes through all he time. He loves to cuddle and kneads his big webbed paws. He has such big front paws! "

"Alakai is doing so well and is a little rascal. Loves to play all the time and is just such a cutie pie. We call him stretch arm strong or big arms as nick names. You will see from the pictures that his arms and shoulders are so big that he always has them stretched out. lol. He still loves to play in boxes and with the clean laundry. He loves yogurt and bananas and we allow him just a small amount on the end of a spoon once in a while. 

He runs around the house so fast sometimes that he scares me with his speed. I have to say Alakai, slow down. So many toys to play with and he likes to fetch and bring back the mice and golf tees! Then he can be such a cuddle bug. He has this trick where he jumps on Jim's shoulders and likes to walk around with him. Jim can be just standing there getting a coffee in the morning and Alakai runs in and jumps on him. 

When I make the bed he likes to jump under the pillows and blankets so I have to stop. I must tell you that we love him so much! He still comes running when we come and starts crying, as if to say where were you. I work from home a great deal and when I do leave he is so sad. Jim got him a play cat and did not know it was grumpy cat. lol Thank you again for our precious gift!"

Update:

July 2015 - Mings owner tells us : "Climbing all over me tonight. He'll meet the dogs tomorrow. He's yawning and can't figure out what to do. But he's not shy with me and seems to realize I'm his friend. 
Thank you very much. I'll keep you posted. He just fell asleep on my chest."

August 22,2015- "He has a name, Ming, I think he is starting to know his name. He and Scallop [female German Sheperd] play a lot. Mostly chase, hide and run some more, Ming bats her on the bed, when he's on the counter but mostly they chase each other. I got up in the middle of the night and Ming jumped out of my bed. I saw a white spot next to Scallop in the dark so I tried to take s photo at 1:30am. Little blurry but cute. Thank you so much. He is a wonderful kitten. This said he is flying around my bed as I type this like a little maniac. He is awesome. "

August 25, 2015 -
"Ming got into Scallop's crate first so she joined him! "

I've talked to Mings owner after his wrap was removed. He is doing well. When they removed it his foot swelled up. He had therapy to improve his circulation and stretch the muscles and get them moving again. The muscles are very weak but he is working on strengthening them.

December 2015 - I talked to Ming's owner, he is fully recovered from his broken leg and back to making big jumps, falling off counters and getting into everything. He loves his toys but so do the dogs he lives with. He will play fetch if Scallop will allow him to, lol. He's a hauler. He takes things off shelves and carries them around the house. He even carries her canvas tote bags.She can't have a glass of water sitting next to the bed or he will pick it up in his mouth and take it away. If he can't get a hold of it he will poke his paw inside and tip it over dumping the contents. No shelf is safe. He weaves through the photos and knocks them over, but he's not a destructive cat at all. He likes to drink out of the sink but doesn't like to have his paws wet. He eats like he is starving, always ready to eat so she bought an automatic feeder and he set about figuring out how to open it. When that didn't work he laid down on his back and stuck his paw up inside where the food comes out. She can't use the feeder. When she was away for the day he decided the towels should no longer be hanging. He pulled them all down. Lol, Sounds like a Siamese that has too much free time on his paws.

Ming - kind of sleeping on my lap tonight

Umm Hot chocolate by the fire, nothing better.

Update: July 24th  "We are in love with [this] kitten. 

She is SO smart and sweet. She is confident and so affectionate. She is totally wonderful Nan!!

After about 24 hours we introduced her to Nelson [Fenya's 2012 litter]. After another 24 hours of minor hissing - mostly by Nelson, they are getting along fine. Nelson is fascinated with her; watches everything she does. I know they are going to become very close.

Here are two pictures so far. After just two hours of peaking under the bed when we first got home with her, she came out and curled up in Steven's lap. Today, they were both grooming in unison on the bed together. :)"

Update: April 2016-

April 2015 - Arriving home their owner writes us:

Rich brought the carrier into the family room and put it on the floor and opened it so the kittens could come out when they wanted to. We offered them toys and verbal encouragement, but let them proceed at their own pace. After about 10 minutes, it was Chai who made the first move, one paw at a time till she was out.  A few minutes later Mischa followed and both peered around and timidly did a little exploring.  We have a Berber carpet in that room, and apparently, it felt weird to the kittens’ paws- Chai shook a paw a few times, but Mischa got to the point she was practically trying to shake all four simultaneously!  After a few more minutes, the kittens went back into the carrier, and they’re still there- Mischa was asleep and Chai’s eyes were wide open and watchful when I came upstairs.

After dinner Rich reached in the carrier to pat the girls- within 10 seconds, Mischa was flopped on her side purring and Chai looked more relaxed, They came out and ran about. Mischa had some water and used the box- Rich isn’t sure about Chai.  They did condescend to eat a few treats, then Mischa came out again and had a thorough bath.  Chai then came out and they explored some more, but Mischa was definitely taking the lead.  Periodically, she’d run back to the carrier, then meow loudly [you were right- she does have a voice!] for Chai, who was usually sitting in a corner.  They are both so cute I can’t believe it, and Mischa does some really funny things-

Day 2

The kittens are settling in nicely.  By late last night they discovered the condo in the cat tree and have made that their base of operations, rendering the question of leaving the carrier out moot- Rich put it away this morning.  The beds you gave me are on the floor and the two we had are on the window seat and when naptime overtakes them, they just curl up in the nearest one.   Rich says it’s like they’re wired in parallel- they’ll be playing and racing around, then at the same time they’ll go to sleep whether together or not.  Food, water and the box are all part of their routine, and they love climbing all over the cat tree- when I just came upstairs, they were napping on the top level.

Mischa is definitely food- driven and has taken many treats from me, and she’s licked both my fingers and my bare toes; Chai is still a little more cautious but not totally reclusive like she could be.  She’s taking after her Auntie Willow and likes to sit on the cat tree and watch the birds and squirrels.  All in all, I’d say they’re adjusting well.

November 2014 - And they have won over their resident Siamese Holly

Bucky sharing the tree with Jazzy...she's in the tube.

Its cold in the mountains and Sensei loves snuggles by the fire

  Sensei passed away very close to his first birthday. He was a much loved and very loving boy in return.

Update: April 14th one week home- Smaug's owner tells us she has had many people fall in love with her. She says, "She sleeps in my children's bedroom and goes from child to child at night. The vet saw her last Monday and was very pleased with her. My older cat and she are getting along well ~ She has also developed a deep purr. "

Mizu and Kabuki five days home

Kabuki making friends with Zoom

4/7/14 - "Kabuki met her new vet today and received her second round of shots. Her surgery site has healed nicely and she weighs 3.5 pounds. Her adult teeth are coming in, but I haven't seen a lot of teething behavior yet. She does not appear to be interested in wires, thank goodness. (Zoom was, and among other things shorted out the Christmas tree lights his first year.)

  "Topping off dinner with a little salad. The kitty amaranth is her favorite."

She's a very confident cat. For example, today she was standing on the exam table (after thoroughly exploring the room), and when the vet turned it on to automatically rise Kabuki took it in stride, impressing the vet (most cats would at least startle if not run). She and Mizu always rush to greet visitors at the door, no shyness at all."

Kabuki snuggles into Mizu when she is tired and makes biscuits. Katherine says, "The rest of the day she and Mizu run all over the house like a pair of little nut jobs, especially in the morning. Sometimes they play "fight" with soft paws and mock bites. They are pretty much inseparable, and get into all kinds of mischief together. Mizu is teaching Kabuki to drag the exercise bands up from the basement. She watches that endeavor with deep interest."

Kabuki the chef or just needing a snack?

Kabuki watching the dog show

October 2015 - Her owner writes: "Kabuki had her annual exam today. She passed with flying colors and weighs 8.8 lbs, which the vet called "perfect."

She came out of the sink pretty quickly--just had to explore. Mizu was there too and she wasn't letting him have all the fun. The two are still best buddies and keep each other trim with their rigorous play.

Kabuki is on my lap every evening. She is a cuddle bug and a joy. She has the sweetest personality, everyone just falls in love with her."

Checking out the vets exam room

Update:  newly home - Her owner tells us, "I can not thank you enough! Pearl is such a sweet kitten, she is just the perfect kitten for our family. Once we got in the car she was quiet the rest of the ride home. Once home she came out of her cat carrier within a few minutes looked around and then found a nice cozy spot behind the sofa. ~ She has gained a lot more confidence today, she is no longer hiding behind the sofa with people walking about the house, she has found a new spot she likes to sleep. She has been napping in one of our dinning room chairs that I put a blanket in for her.

She is great with both the girls. She will sit with both of them and when either of them sit on the floor she is right over there looking for them to pat her. Which ever girl walks by her she will follow them to see where they are going. When they came home from school today she was sleeping in one of the dinning room chairs so the girls went out to play. Pearl woke up and walked around to there rooms as if she was looking for them. She certainly loves attention. She is being very sweet sharing herself with all of us. At night when the girls are in bed she comes and sits with me, but when the girls are up she is with them.

I took some really cute pictures of her the first night here of both the girls playing with her and patting her that I will send to you.

We went to the Vets today, she is currently at 4lbs. They thought she was just the cutest thing!

Helping out in the kitchen when they bring in the fresh greens from the garden is fun.

Sage ready for bed.....

....and fast asleep. Deb says, "They really have a bond!!"

Sage

            Sage Oct 2014

Nubble

Update: After a week at home Shannon tells us, "Things are going well, she has been roaming the house, but it has been a bit of an adjustment for our dog, he is still trying to play with her and chase her everywhere & she wants nothing to do with him! Gracie, on the other hand could care less about her & keeps to herself. ~ I will send some pictures soon!"

Here she is snuggled into the through we keep on our sofa.

She inherited her mother's and grandmother's ability to squint every time I take a picture, lol

Update: With just a few days home  we heard that "Z" was having a rougher time with the transition then his siblings. Kristen told us, " Zephyrus slept the whole way home, and then didn't want to come out of the carrier, he was scared and slept.  He did come out and then hid under the dining room hutch.  I got him to eat a bit and he did use the litter box like a good boy.  We played a bit, but he is skittish.  He did fall asleep on my lap for a little while, which was wonderful.  He cried out often for his family.  I played with him this morning before work and he let me pet him and kiss him."

A week later and he is doing much better and they have discovered he is very food motivated, lol. Kristen says, "Zephyrus, (our Z-man) is really warming up - he snuggles up to me in bed at nights.  We have a pretty high bed and he's figured out how to jump and pull himself up.  He is definitely a vocal boy - especially in the kitchen.  If you go in there for even a glass of water - he's meowing like he's starving, while his bowl has plenty of food.  I had some friends over Saturday night and he kept jumping on the couch to try and lick my friends appetizer plate. ~  My 12-year old neighbor came over to meet him and she is so good with him and I think he adores her.  I think she wants to come over every evening to play with him!  (she and her friends have been over several times)"

And about her vet check up "Parsley didn't like the ride to the vet. She let us know with a loud voice all the way. It only takes us 10 minutes or less to get there. The minute we walked into the vet she was just as quiet as could be. They thought she was beautiful. They couldn't get over how good she was, she never made a sound during her exam or when she got her shot. ~ We are having so much fun with her. We have kept her in two rooms this week. Saturday I will open more of the house to her."

With the photos she says "Taking stroll in the stroller one her favorite things to do when the grandkids are here, she climbs right in and just waits for one of them to push."

Parsley waiting for Ruth to bring her lap back, lol.

Update: May 31, 2012 - Sherlock had her Vet Wellness check up today.  We are told she is now 3 lbs and took her vaccination shot without crying at all. Hannha says,"The vet thought Sherlock was super cute, and was impressed with her spay surgery results." and she yelled all the way home and tried to get out of her carrier. I guess she felt no more Ms. Nice Guy after that Vet visit.

Update: Coquin called out all the way home and called for his family whenever he wasn't distracted by playing. His owner discovered he would sleep if she held him in her lap, in his bed. After a few hours he settled in and only cried if he was left alone. His first night was a bit sleepless but with the following days he adjusted well. He joined a senior resident Siamese Kitty who has accepted him without any fuss. He also has an occasional resident Maine Coon as a buddy, well he's working on making Oscar his buddy, lol. He loves Oscars toys and treats, even stealing chicken from his bowl with a slight of the paw. Oscar is coming along. He is a little unhappy with Kitty for accepting Coquin so easily. Oscar is trying to decide if Coquin is going to be interesting and fun or trouble. This does not bother Coquin one bit. He has enjoyed checking out the house. He likes to ride on his owners shoulder while she fixes meals.

On 5/16/2012 Jean tells us: "Coquin is gaining fast in confidence, starting to explore the whole house, not worrying and crying when I leave the room.  ~  Last night he was extra energetic, got on the bed and did the popcorn thing, jumping straight up when I moved my hand under the covers.  He really tore around the room, up and down from the bed.  Finally he ran out of steam and settled down to sleep in his cat cave, he's still asleep this morning.  He purrs and cuddles when he has gotten sleepy, but yesterday afternoon when he was like that and I had to run out for an hour I had to put him to bed, just like a baby!" "I tried to take pictures today but Coquin doesn't cooperate, I swear I saw him sigh, then run off!"

Thank you Jean, It sounds and looks like Coquin will be appropriately spoiled.

Update: February 2013 - Nancy writes us, "Today we brought the furbabies for their annual check up.~ My vet was so pleased with their healthy teeth, coats and over all fantastic health! She said they came from an excellent breeder.. Kudos to you, Nan! Keiko weighed in a 8 pounds and Sake' at 11.  Sake's color is coming in slowly... just the tip of his tail is now chocolate. His mask is still filling in, his feet are still on the lighter side. and he's such a love bucket...they both are. I'll send some up to date pictures soon. ~ Take good care, and thanks again and again for raising such healthy kitties!"

   Sake' one year old.

June 28th, 2011

This is a picture of her helping me with the laundry.

From Hannah, "Now 7 months old, Iris has become such a huge part of our family. The kids run to see her before either me or Bill when they get home from school. 
She is so incredibly patient with them, and lets them hold her even if they are a little loud. She's learned to climb the bunk bed ladder, and frequently visits my 8 year old in his bed. She also curls up with him when he's reading, causing him to boast "Mom, she's purring!"
She sleeps with me every night, preferring the crook of my neck to all other resting spots. She seems to like being cozy. Don't we all.
~Thanks for bringing Iris into our lives! She has a pretty large fan club. :)"

Hannah writes the sign and photo were made to take to school. I'm happy to hear what a great ambassador Iris is for her breed.

She also says, "Iris continues to play a central role in our family. When our daughter had a doctor's appt recently, she said over and over "I just want to go home and see Iris." So sweet. Iris is a relaxed and loving cat, so patient with all the kids. She is quite a licker, especially at about 3am. It's lucky she's so cute, because she's quite persistent about cleaning my entire face and neck!
She and Turtle (resident cat) are doing better, especially now that Turtle spends much more time indoors. Iris jumps on poor Turtle trying to get her to play, and Turtle hisses back. However, once they've both been inside a while, they actually hang out together. And once Turtle even purred when Iris sat next to her. So there is hope!"

Iris, surprised that she is one years old already, lol

Behaving just like her Mum

Trying to stowaway and go to school because she is smart too.

Little sister Sherlock (1 year), who is bigger, on the right and Iris (2 years) on the left. Their owner says they are inseparable. If one is not with the other they go to see if the missing cat is trapped in a closet. She loves her children very much and makes the rounds to their beds for a visit before bedtime. She sleeps in her masters bed.

We would love to see a video of Ducky on her wheel!

Mom says we need to pose for a photo

One of the twins with Sadie.

We learned Sadie is quirky because she recently began licking the heated baseboards. She also learned how to open the basement door and was slipping downstairs. Being in the dusty dirt basement caused her to develop a hives like skin reaction. Some cortisone and a hook latch on the door cleared. up the hives. She is also very strong willed and has decided she will not stay off the kitchen counters. Erin is determined too, Sadie hasn't had the final word yet.

We received the above photos too. Erin says:" As you can see she continues to be super friendly, super snuggly, and a huge love bug. She is getting along awesome with the boys, and actually seeks them out all the time. She helps put them to bed every night (she runs in and sits on the floor as we read stories). She is awesomely calm with them. Thanks again for allowing Sadie to come to our home :) "

"Clancy is so super sweet and such a great kitten! ~ We went into the office and played with him and then he fell asleep in my arms and didn't cry at all when I put him down and went to bed around 11.~ He cried off and on from about 4 am to 6 am.  Patty went into the office at 4 to check that he was ok and again around 6 to play with him.  Fingers crossed for a later wake up call tomorrow :) ~ He is quite the climber already.  I don't remember our other cats being this good a climber/jumper at this age - I came into the office earlier today and he was on top of the monitor on the desk napping.  Then later, he jumped from the ground to the top of the cat condo (about 3 ft tall). Fiona has shown no interest in the office so far and I don't even know if she realizes he is here!  Or, she just assumes that he is yet another of her faithful servants and is just waiting for him to pay his respects and shower her with affection..."

April 8th - " Clancy went to the Vet on April 8th to get his immunization.  When I made the appointment, our regular Vet was booked, but we got an appointment with one of the other Vets (they are all great).  However, once our Vet heard we got a new Siamese, he juggled things around and it was him who got to meet Clancy! ~

 The Vet again raved about how gorgeous and healthy he looked and the whole office fell in love with him!"

Update: April 18th  - Jillian write to say; "I have some great Clancy news to report. First of all, he is such a cutie pie and love bug with the patience of a saint!  He loves to snuggle and cuddle (esp when I am trying to work - LOL) and when we watch TV.  He is so patience with (little Miss M) and although she is trying, he is so cute that she sometimes can't help herself.  He lets her sit on the chair or couch with him and just pet him and he rewards her with the best purrs.

We started letting them out together (first when Maddie was asleep).  Fiona would hiss if he was in her way and chase him from the prime spots.  Never aggressive, but letting him know who was boss.  She kept her spot at the top of the big cat condo and let him either sit on the next row down or on the table next to it. 

We bring him into the office a couple of times a day, to let Fiona eat and also to give her a break and Clancy a break from Maddie's undying love and affection - LOL!  By last night, Clancy was chasing Fiona and they seemed to be really playing together!  Today I went in to water the plants and was greated with the most delightful sight - view attached photo!  It is not the best shot, but I wanted it to send it along.  He was also licking her ear (just like she used to do to Harry) but stopped when I tried to capture it on film!

 It was such a thrill to see them cuddling together :)"

She sent us some photos too.

Finola is a 'retired from breeding' adult. She is from Maeve and Kian's 2006 litter.

"Finnegan is another story. He just wants to play! We have old fishing pole that has a little piece of denim on the end of the string. He loves to play with it. He likes watching kitty TV as he looks out at the bird feeder outside our bedroom window. He walks around meowing in a little voice when he wants attention. I know he is still trying to nurse on Finola and when that happens your can hear this loud purr! He listens to you. This morning, I called him and he followed me upstairs to Paul's house and explored a little. He has not purred for us or sit in our laps but does like to be petted and have tummy rubs."

"Finnegan is such a love. He comes to us and wants to play all the time. The other day, he took a hand towel that we let him chase a toy under the towel and was dragging it from the bedroom to the dining room. Of course, he was pulling it with his mouth but was stepping on it at the same time, so he made slow progress. He has started to want to sit next to me and be petted and purrs. I can't believe how loud he purrs when he is happy."

"It continues slow but I am sure Finola does miss her mother and sister. We can tell she will be a great cat when she feels more comfortable."

* Finola
** Vet visit 9/3/2010 General checkup: good - weight 10 lb 6 oz
* Finnegan
** kitten visit 09/03/2010 General checkup: good - weight 4 lb 4 oz
** kitten visit 09/14/2010 Distemper shot - weight 4 lb 7 oz
** kitten visit 10/05/2010 Distemper booster shot + rabies weight: 5 lb 9 oz

Chris sent us 27 photos. I embarassed to admit it but I had to ask her who was who, lol.

"Finola has just been just been all over me wanting to be petted. She really wants to purr.  Finnegan is the lighter cat. Next time, I will be sure to mark the pictures."

Below are a few of the photos we received.

Finnegan and Finola

Finnegan is getting Momma Finola and had her in a head lock, lol.

Moving to a new home and losing all your family can be very difficult but kittens adjust quickly. She will have her big brother Sapphire (Finola's 2008 litter) to keep her company when she finishes her adjustment period.

Update:  I received a photo of chocolate point Pearl and seal point Sapphire playing with Da Bird.

Update: 10-30 "Pearl had a vet appointment last week-she weighed 5 lb 13 oz. (4 months old)  He says she looks great!  She really is doing so well, all around!  She and Sapphire are getting along so much better-Pearl now wakes us up in the morning and curls up under the covers purring while Sapph sits on top of the covers kneeding at the quilt, purring."

Sapphire and Pearl

When I asked Deb if the size of Pearl was a trick of the camera she said, "Yes, it must be the angle. You were right about Pearl being petite. Although she is getting big, I doubt that she'll ever reach Sapphire's 12+ lbs. I'll have to let you know what her actual weight is after her next vet appointment.

Everyone that visits us tells us how beautiful both cats are. Sapphire has such a dark face and his eyes are so big and blue and striking! And Pearl's coat is "pearly white" and soft, with her beautiful subtle blue eyes. Both kitties are just gorgeous! My mother has been trying to convince my father more and more on getting on your kitten waiting list."

We've had too many gray days without any winter sun, LOL

Sapphire getting ready for spring, lol.

Pearl gets her turn under the grow light too.

 Nisa (11 months old) & Niles (3 months old) both are chocolate points.

We're told Niles and Nisa didn't mind dressing up for Halloween at all. They are so used to wearing their walking jackets (leash harness) that they were not bothered one bit by the kerchiefs.

Nisa is shown in hers under her litter entry for Keva's 2009 litter.

Update: March 11, 2011 -Amanda writes,  "We have some exciting news! Niles and Nisa are going to start training to be registered Therapy Animals with the Delta Society! I'm starting formal training now so they can pass their practical tests this summer - which involve leash training, being passed to strangers, walking through a crowd, being crowded by people, and tasks like "clumsy petting", restraining hugging, reacting to noises, coming when called and a couple of other tricks that show that they're comfortable with strangers. Since they are such nice kitties already, I hope they will both pass and the plan is to show up as a team to do "Animal Assisted Activity" at local hospitals and nursing homes. I am more sure Niles (Mr Food-motivated) will pass than Nisa, but I'll keep you posted on their training if you're interested. 

I just thought you'd like to know that your wonderful kitties are maybe going to be helping other people too! Here's the link to the Delta Society in case you'd like to put it on the website: www.deltasociety.org

So cute that Niles in under but A has his tail in the first photo. She is gentle and he doesn't mind as shown in the other photos of him loving all the attention she gives him.

Niles 10/2014

Update: October 2014 - Nile's and Nisa found themselves in the position of needing a new home. Their new human baby boy was allergic and the doctor said the cats needed to find a new home. Fate handed us an experience Siamese family that was looking for adults in the very same month and all the pieces came together perfectly for Niles and Nisa. They have moved the their new home and have happily settled into their new family.. When I checked in on them in the first weeks the owner replied, "Honestly I could not tell  that he (Niles) was having much of an adjustment at all.  He immediately wanted to play with us and be petted and picked up, lots of purring.  Nisa took a while, but just three nights ago, she finally came and plopped down on my lap and chest as I was watching TV in the evening – also purring a lot, and she finally fell asleep.  Now they sort of compete for my lap (my husband is away this week).  They play together, are using their scratching posts, eat and drink well, use the litter box well.  And they play with me as well." 

A happy transition for them to their new home and family. :)

Niles and Nisa in their new home

Update:  two days at home - "He slept in W's room of course (with all his necessities) and came out from under the bureau in the morning and played. W was thrilled. 
He has been downstairs a couple of times but heads back up to W's room after a few minutes. We leave the door open for him but he hasn't ventured out on his own yet. I went in to check on W tonight and the kitty was curled up on the bed with him, lol."

Update: one week at home - "Charlie is so lovable, very affectionate. He loves playing with his toys and the kids. He has checked out every room in the house now and likes to sit on the dining room chairs under the table and look out the sliding glass door. W adores him and does well playing with him and cleaning his litter box. S has been good with him also, very gentle patting him."

Kristen tells us " He is a wonderful addition to our family. We all love him very much and can't imagine what life was like before him. He is a such a good natured guy."

I asked her if she knew his weight because he looks big. She replied  " Charlie is a big boy :). Our last visit to the vet in May (16 week vaccination)  he was just about 10 lbs ~ I do not know his weight today but he has grown and he may be big but I think he is healthy. I can feel his ribs so he is not too fat... he's definitely not skin and bones lol, but I do not think he is over weight. He loves playing and pouncing that is for sure, the kids make sure he gets his exercise, lol."

Charlie has some large male ancestors so its not a big surprise his is a large boy.

Charlie continues to be a wonderful member of our family. He makes the rounds every night a bed time and loves to sleep on the top of the cushions of the couch in the sun during the day. The kids have him chasing the little balls w/bell in them all the time, and last night he kept bouncing/pawing one of William's rubber bouncy balls against the doors in the hallway, it was a riot!"

I followed up with Kristen and learned he was eat Iams diet food when he got sick. She said she looked it up and learned the diet food had been part of a recall. He was 16 pounds when he became sick. She says "Charlie is back up to 15 lbs right now and looking as handsome as ever."

We are happy to hear Charlie is well again and back to his old playful self. I think he may be the biggest boy we've produced even without a little bit of extra weight he is still be a big boy.... its in his genes.

(Peeps - Blue Point) - Peter

Update: five days at home -" Peter is a dream kitten. He's easy going and playful. The introduction to his brother Pogue (resident dog) is coming along too. Pogue wants to sniff him and Peter will have none of that. Pogue gives up, walks away and Peter will watch him for a while. Then continues to play, or sleep. With time, I can see them getting along fine.~ Peter had a great time meeting my grown children this week-end. He found a perfect spot to sleep on my daughter in laws lap. ~ thank you so much for a wonderful kitten."

Say hello to my little friend...

We like to play kitten games.

At six months he is still a kitten with a few things to learn.

Peter six month of age

Sophia is on the left.

Rudolph is now called ShadowHeart and lives with retired Siamese breeders in Woburn, Massachusetts.

Update: Ten days in his new home- Sue tells us, "Shadow is continuing to do Great! He is KING of the house! Absolutely no problems!!
He has fit in so well...We all just adore him and I think he returns the love in more ways than he'll ever know!
He is going upstairs on his own, jumping on and off the beds by himself and just plain running around crazy!!
Angela sticks by him like glue....I have to keep reminding her that he needs time with John and I as well.

Update: February 2010 - Sue tells us: " Shadow is doing exceptionally well! Growing like a little weed! And just smarter than any cat I've ever known! I probably sound like a Mom who thinks her child is the cutest, smartest etc...But I only speak the truth.

We are just so happy with this little guy! He fits our family and lifestyle like he was just born to do so! 
He is absolutely beautiful! Getting very dark in the face, paws and tail....Oh, and speaking of tail, ~ He chases it around etc...which is very cute, but when he catches it, he gnaws on the end.~ It's just a big game to him! Not that we haven't spent tons of $$ on toys, at times he just finds it much more fun to go after his own tail....He does understand "Stop" and "No" so we're trying to make him stop! I don't want the handsome little guy to have a funny looking tail!

I'm not sure, but I think he could even be trained to use our potty....Not that I want him to, but he is extremely interested in the whole bathroom experience...Not one bit afraid of the water or the flushing! I think he might even enjoy getting wet....He gets into the tub and kitchen sink. Doesn't care if his little feet get wet either. He loves it when you put the water on and let it trickle out. He swats at it, takes a little drink and gets himself pretty wet.

He's a great little sleeper as well. As long as we play with him and tucker him out between 7 and 8 p.m. He then usually has a little snacky before bed and sleeps right next to me all night. Sometimes under the blankets with me!

Wow, listen to me ramble.....I just can't help it...He's the best! We adore him!

Surprisingly, he enjoys (sampling) quite a bit of food that you would think a cat would hate....Mashed potatoes, green beans, corn, soup etc...He's quite a character! We have stuck with the kibble that you sent with him, just stepped it up a grade.

I told ya, we're crazy about him!!!"

Shadow looks like he lost his dark kitten coat. Look at that pretty body color. He matches the sofa, lol.

Vixen kept his name and lives in Rutland, Vermont. He was purchased in part to keep a resident Siamese (Sasha -not of our breeding) company.

Update: January 2010 -Paula tells us  "He is such a charmer. You said you thought he would come into his own and you were so right. He is such a wonderful kitty. He and Sasha are always playing together chasing one another around the house. They often sleep together curled up and Sasha even gives him a bath." "We are so glad that we have him...he runs to greet us when we come into the house, follows us around like a dog, and he is now starting to voice his "hellos". "last Saturday and had gained almost a pound since his last (Vet) visit. The vet said that he was really jealous because we have such beautiful cats. Vixen is going to be a big cat. He's very long and growing like a weed. He cuddles up with us at night, usually under the covers and purrs so loudly. We just love him."

Vixen Spring 2011

Update: February 2012 -  Paula tells us: "Both Ibis and Vixen are wonderful.  They are best buddies and just love one another to pieces.  They are always hugging and washing one another,  They keep track of each other all the time.  Both are so affectionate to Michael and me.  I have been recuperating ~ Vixen and Ibis did not leave my side for a good 7 weeks.  Vixen especially worries about me and sticks to me like glue. We are very happy with both of them and often remark to each other how we are so glad that we have them and they get along with Sasha beautifully.  Sasha is still the Alpha kitty and noone has challenged her as of yet.  Ibis is a bundle of energy and Vixen is very laid back ( still takes him a long time to get going after he wakes up).  Ibis is our talker...really communicates all the time verbally.  Vixen still has his little voice.    We love them all so much!!!!!  They are such beautiful kitties!!!!"

Vixen 2012

Blitzen is now called Kaia Alice and is at home in Ocean City, New Jersey. Her owner tells us she has adjusted well and loves all her new toys and is having a fun time learning from her "agility course". 

Update: January 2010- Libby tells us; "She's a joy. I look for her first thing on waking and look forward to coming home and seeing her if I've been out. She sleeps with me. I thought she couldn't get under my bed because it has drawers under it but the little dickens found a way. She's really good about coming when I call. She generally follows me around, including into the bathroom. I wasn't sure I needed such close companionship every time I'm in there, but I put ping-pong balls in the tub for her to play with and she's accepted that my sitting down isn't always an invitation to my lap! We're still arguing about my use of the computer. She wants to sit on the keyboard and butt-google.

Her favorite toy is still the little sparkle-balls. ~ I've never seen a cat so crazy for playing catch! She drops a ball in front of me every just about every time I sit down. Once in a while I can wear her out and then she hides the ball, pretending she can't find it. Little squirrel has a few places where she hides a cache of toys.

Of course she also sleeps a lot and is a little cuddle-bug, very sweet and affectionate. She's gotten used to visitors. If they give her time to check them out a bit from a distance, she will approach and let them touch and play with her, even kids. 'Really a sweet personality!"

Prancer is now called Nisa (KNEE-Sah) and is home in Manhattan, New York. She was going to be named "Misa" which is an anagram of " Siam " but it was decided to combine Misa with Nia (a little girl's name) to form "Nisa".

Update: Five days in her new home. Amanda says, "Nisa is doing really well in her new home. She officially plays fetch now. ~ She darts around on the bed when we toss her favorite toy  "Mr. Squiggles" into the poofed-up comforter…she dives in after him, retrieves and places him right back into our hand to be re-tossed.  She also found a little nesting spot – we searched for her for almost a half hour the other day and finally found her nestled into my bottom dresser drawer with all of my pajamas, curled up as snug as a bug in a rug - Evidently calling for her for almost 30 minutes had little effect on her napping, lol.  Now I have a little pet bed in there for her and it's her favorite place to sleep if we're too loud in the living room. ~ She loves Da Bird and is quite the acrobat when she decides she needs to catch him. She is very curious about "people food" too. She won't beg, and she has been very "polite" in taking the hint, lol. ~ She was very vocal when we brought her home and now she really only meows when she's super excited playing, or if she's "complaining" about something (like being picked up if she's sleeping, etc.).  She seems very comfortable around both of us now and is not skittish at all.  She is fine with most noises, vacuum and blaring alarm clock included."

I'm going to master this game called Scrabble and by next year this time, I will win.  When pigs fly you say? Ha, look below.

Update: Nisa went on a weekend get away. Dan tells us: "She did great in the car both ways as well, on the way home she slept in Amanda's lap the entire 6.5 hours. Nisa had a wonderful vacation with us - she explored the snow on her leash, and had full run of the little cabin. She loved it, and we were surprised how much she liked the fireplace, lol."

Nisa at 7 months old.

I can't go?........but you take me on all your trips. I can fit right in here.

Nisa and Niles enjoy the first day of spring

Nisa snuggling on Niles.

Nisa's hammock is from CatAbove.

Update: 10/2014  A member of Nisa and Niles family developed allergies and their pediatrician said the cats needed to find a new home. We were able to place them with a new family and they are settling into this new adventure very quickly. They have found happiness with their new owners in Jamaica Plain, MA.

Niles and Nisa in their new home. After the first week or so their new owner said, "Honestly I could not tell  that he (Niles) was having much of an adjustment at all.  He immediately wanted to play with us and be petted and picked up, lots of purring.  Nisa took a while, but just three nights ago, she finally came and plopped down on my lap and chest as I was watching TV in the evening – also purring a lot, and she finally fell asleep.  Now they sort of compete for my lap (my husband is away this week).  They play together, are using their scratching posts, eat and drink well, use the litter box well.  And they play with me as well." 

A happy transition for them to their new home and family. :)

Cupid is now called Sabastian Cupid and is home in Wilmington, Massachusetts.

Update: Two weeks in his new home Cathy tells us, "Sabastian is doing wonderful. He already has become part of our family and is everything that we wanted and more.~ We just love that he is so vocal about everything- loves to talk from the moment he wakes up! He has a really loud purr and loves to let you know when he's happy. He is also very playful and will play with just about anyone or anything. Also, he is very acrobatic! He loves to jump and hop-does flips, stands on his hind legs.~ He and my 11 month old son have become buddies! They have play time every day several times a day. D. loves to play with Sabastian using the wand with a hanging toy. ~ Also, Lola, our yorkie, and Sabastian are enjoying each other's company.

Sabastian sitting pretty

Learning together - Sabastian and D. share toys.

Come Lola, let me give you a big hug and we can wrestle.

Lobelia is now called Fleur. She lives in Waltham, Ma

Fleur in her new home.

Update: December 2009 Mark tells us:  Fleur has been absolutely fantastic.  She is incredible sweet.  She really likes being close to both of us – she is generally happiest if Marissa and I are in the same room.  If she wants to play she will bring toys to us and either play by herself if we are busy or play with us.  She will even do this in the morning and bring the toys to the bed.  Its really cute. 

She has done amazingly well in whatever situation we bring her to.  She has been to both our parents houses with us.  She spent a couple days at my parents house chasing their 90 pound golden retriever around the house.  She was really curious of him and has met him a couple times when they have brought him to our house and she would love to play with him – he just isn’t sure what to do. Its pretty funny. She has also been to Ohio. 13 hours in the car and she was fantastic.  She either slept in her nest in the backseat or sat on the passenger’s lap.  We got her a harness and brought the carrier with us although she was so well behaved, in the harness, we barely kept her in the carrier. 

Christmas at Grandmother's house in Kentucky.

She is such a spoiled kitty, she gets to sleep on Brookstone Nap blankets all the time.

Fleur June 2010  "Her favorite game is to dive under the pillows to find the "scratching" noise- just fingers against the sheets. She'll even go diving by herself! We'll come home and the pillows will be on the floor. She is very good though, she waits to go diving until we have clearly woken up. It wouldn't be such a fun game the other way around."

Dragon is now Lola and lives in Southborough, Ma

Update: Dec 2009  We received an email with a promise of photos. Stephanie tells us, " We are LOVING having Lola in our family. She is a wonderful cat and she grows more beautiful each day! She and I were just sitting on the stairs watching the boys play outside in the snow through the window. Lola loves the boys. If they are playing she wants to be right in the middle of the action. She will meow at the basement door when they are downstairs playing, desperate to join in. Lola loves to play "hide and go seek".or some sort of cat/human version of the game. She is also particularly gifted at unwrapping Christmas presents! We have been though at least 4 of "da bird" toys. She also still seems alarmingly surprised by the fact that her tail is connected to her body and following her around. I hope she never out grows the chasing of the tail. It is really funny to see!

Lola is so snuggly. In the evenings she often sits with Matt and I and purrs and stretches all over us. She has grown by leaps and bounds. I cant believe how quickly the time has gone. She is now sitting on my lap as I type this and purring away. She is a very loud purrrer! We are all so happy to have her. The boys still pick her up a lot and she is so patient with them. Everyone who meets her is impressed by her beauty and personality. She checks everyone out who enters the house.  I am so glad we found you! Lola is a joy!"

Update: Jan 2010 - Stephanie sent us photos as promised. She tells us Lola traveled to Maryland for the holidays to visit with her extended family. She did very well and loved all the excitement of eleven people with six being children from 7 to 9 years of age. She made friends with her cousin, a chocolate lab too.

Lola five months old

Fen is with us until we decide if she will become a new breeding queen. This decision will be made after we see the kittens in Finola's next litter.

Fen at 15 weeks old

Fen, What do you mean I'm not allowed up here? All these books up here are for cats like me................o-kay I'm coming down.

Fen is a funny kitten all power with little finesse. She goes full speed after toys and will grab them and summersault to stop. She is spot on with her capture. She likes to wrestle and will play rough with adults but is showing she can be gentle with younger kittens even grooming them when Keva doesn't do a good job. She is a big licker. She gives me kisses if I ask for them...I really think she just wants to taste any residual snack I've had, lol. She has to know about everything. She is learning not to come to the dinner table but when I have something away from the table she asks to see what it is. When I cut up an apple she likes having her own piece to lick. She likes to hang in hand when I walk around the house. She gets very relaxed and goes with the flow but if I try to hold her up to my shoulder and snuggle her she'll want down. She talks to everyone and always comes to tell me when someone comes home. She has a big purr engine that goes on anytime we pet her.

Fen likes to lick fresh cut green peppers...yuck lol

              Fenya has grown up. You can see more photos of her on her page. Fenya's Guinness

                                   She is also featured in her first litter diary Fenya's Spring 2011 Kitten Diary

Diamond is now called Butters. He lives with his family in Toronto, Canada

Butters at 3 1/2 months

Butters at 4 months

Update: Sept 2009 - We received some very nice photos of Butters. At six months of age he was 8.4 pounds.  

Elise says, "He's still the most beautiful cat that I've ever seen.  Oh and when he was at the vet's the vet said that he had an appropriate name since his fur was like butter! ...In terms of personality, he has lots of it!  He has become more vocal but his meow still isn't all that loud.  He's very, very playful.  His favorite game ever since we brought him home has been fetch.  He started playing fetch about a week after he came home and he just absolutely loves it.  He'll play with absolutely anything that you throw for him...pens, balls, bottle caps, stuffed animals, crumpled up pieces of paper, etc. .....He has just recently started to try and catch the items being thrown for him when they're still airborne.  Kind of like a dog with a frisbee!  Anyway it's really awesome how good he is at catch.......He isn't super cuddly yet, but I feel like he's becoming more cuddly....he sleeps with us but on top of the covers and at the end of the bed in the morning he'll come up to our heads for a quick cuddle. When we're on the couch watching TV he likes to be beside us on the couch or in a chair watching us."

Sapphire is now called Rain Beau or Sapphire Rain...or little fella. He lives with his family in Sterling, MA

Photos relaxing in his new home.

and with his favorite playmate

Update 3-2009- 

Update: April 2009 

Update: September 2009 - Nine months old. - Deb tells us Sapphire is now 10 lbs and 6 oz. and uses his front paws to do everything. After A's 4th birthday party in August, we had so many flies in the house, with the doors constantly opening and closing. Sapphire was so funny, he would hop throughout the house on his hind legs and clap his front paws together up in the air, catching the flies! 

He some ghost striping on his tail and Deb says " We joke that he is our little raccoon (with his dark little mask and his striped tail..and the fact that he uses his front paws to do everything)"

Update: Dec. 2009 We received one year old photos of Sapphire. Deb tells us "We LOVE him to pieces. We play with him multiple times daily, of course-he still loves "da bird" mostly! - and watch out with Peek-a-boo and the blankets!!  He wakes me up daily at 5:30 with a "tap, tap" of his paw on my face or neck. and a "good -meowy- morning"..very cute. 
His face has darkened up so much in the past couple of months.  He still falls asleep in the funniest positions-on his back, back and front legs open."

Sapphire 1 year old.

Update: April 2010 - Sapphire is waiting on our list for a little sister. His family just sent me these photos. He likes to sit and watch piano practice.

Sapphire (one and a half years) with his best girl.

Garnet is now called Dwight. He lives with his family in Stow, MA

Dwight is doing very well. We hear reports about him every time we go to visit our Vet. He is owned by one of the Vets in the same practice. 

Update: January 2010 - When we took Tasa in for her emergency c-section on a Sunday night Dr. Schaefer called Dr. Gould in to assist her in surgery. Despite having to leave a family dinner and come in at night,  the first thing Dr. Gould said to me was; "I keep meaning to tell you, Thank you, Dwight is the best cat we have ever owned. He is so good with our little daughter."

Update: October 2011 - I received some photos of Dwight from Dr. Gould. She says, "Here are a few pictures of Dwight.  He is cross-eyed and we just love his "look".  He has been the perfect addition to our family.  He is fun, yet gentle.  He LOVES my children.  Every night he tries to sneak into my daughter's room to sleep on her bed.  However, we have to keep him out or she will play with him instead of falling asleep.  With a 1 yr old and a 3 yr old, he can take a lot "love".  But... he would never bite  or hurt them.  He has such a big heart and just loves being close.  My favorite time is first thing in the morning when he will jump on me and start purring.  I just can't thank you enough for allowing my family to have Dwight."

  Dwight just before his 3rd birthday

Emerald kept her diary name and goes by Emmy. It just fits her. She is a sporty, fun, gem of a girl. She lives with her family in Medford, MA

Update 4-2009- "Emmy wants to be near us at all times and sleeps on our bed. My dog-loving husband is head over heels in love with this kitten, and so am I. She is doing well and is such a wonderful addition to our lives."

"Are you sure you need to change the sheets Meowmy?"

Update: Oct 2009 - Kristen tells us Emmy's favorite play time is when she is changing the linens. She will roll on her back and likes her tummy rubbed. She also enjoys sitting at the window watching the birds.

"This is her favorite spot - the back of the couch on this soft blanket (which she's basically stolen from Keith). And as you can see here - although she likes to be near Keith -
what she really wants is that blanket! (lol)"

Update: Dec. 2009 - Emmy One Year Old - Kristen tells us "I am so glad that fate led me to your website and my reminiscing of Jada ~ so we could find our sweet Emmy. (I swear that Jada [past Siamese love of her life] is channeling through Emmy at times - Emmy will do something that makes me feel like Jada is right there with me. I know that sounds a little crazy, but it warms my heart.)

"Her daily toothpaste ritual – she grabs the tube to make sure I don’t take it away." says Kristen

Emmy in her favorite place – a box! 

Amethyst is now called Lily. A beautiful name that fits our beautiful girl. She lives with her new brother, three year old, Benjamin. They are at home with their family in Windsor, CT.

That is Lily tucked under Benny's chin napping.

Benny is not of our breeding.

Update: June 2009- Lynne tells us: "Lily is doing well. We are having a lot of fun with her. Her only bad habit is attacking any and all toilet paper left out, so we have to keep it in under the sink, in the cupboard, instead of on the t.p. holder. Through it all, she is the picture of innocence."

Elm is now called Sasha. She lives with her new family in Hopkinton.

Update: 2 weeks

After two weeks at home Sasha has made herself at home. Her owner tells us: "My desk is now Sasha's favorite place to be. I had no idea that kittens liked to watch videos and could help with online shopping. We're having lots of fun with household objects like paper bags and boxes.

I am also happy to report that she is an equal opportunity lap-napper. Doesn't matter who's lap it is as long as there is one!  Nothing says "Happy" like a warm sleeping cat in your lap.

Update:  photos

Update 2-09-

From Sasha's family: "A quick update about Miz Sasha--this past month it seems like she transformed into such a  grown-up, losing quite a bit of her kitten look.   She is loving high places and looking for new ones all the time--I am considering putting a shelf along the tops of the windows in the sunroom that she could access from her tree.  I think she'd really love that. Her favorite toy is the little real fur bi-colored mice.  She will play fetch for hours with those--she loves tearing after them and sliding on the wood floor, then turning around and pouncing.  I'm constantly finding her flat on the floor with her front legs shoved under the refrigerator or sofa, trying to scoop out wayward mice. She loves when we have visitors and always comes to say hi when the doorbell rings."

Update: Spring 2009- A little birdy told me Sasha was bored one morning and decided to play with the fish. She knocked the fish bowl off the counter and broke it....I just saw this same scene in a movie, lol.

Update: Fall 2009 one year old - Nancy tells us Sasha is a petite girl and weighed in at 6.6 lbs. for her one year vet check up. She must take after her grandma Maeve who has refined bones. She also has developed ghost stripes on her tail, She says, " her tail has developed faint stripes like a ring tailed lemur!"

 Nancy says," She's a sassy little thing. She's very friendly and curious and comes running when the doorbell rings."

"Now that the weather is turning cooler, she is back to being a heat seeking missile and is deigning to climb into our laps again.  He favorite position is stretched out full length on my legs when I have my feet up on the ottoman.  I don't need a blanket!"

"She talks all the time, sometimes just to hear the sound of her voice. She loves to be wherever we are" [ in the middle of what they are doing].
"We still have long play sessions every evening--she loves to chase da bird and other feather/wand toys. She can still be entertained for hours by a mouse tied onto a piece of fishing line."

 "The mice are still her favorite toy--a little bit of fetch and then she plays alone batting it all over the house."

Update: Dec 2009 - Sasha thinks.... The family tree would not be complete without an angel at the top...and makes it so.

Nancy writes, "I'm sure you know what the attached pictures are, before even opening them. :) 
She looks like the Grinch slithering her way up the trunk to pop out at the top. This girl is fearless.

Sasha's owners had to fight their Vet to get the right treatment she needed. The Vet only went along because they were so insistent. He was Very surprised that the treatment worked and so fast. Please get a second opinion anytime a healthy cat suddenly becomes ill. There are many many things that can cause liver and kidney values to go bad. Not all of them mean there is no hope.Their vet gave them very little hope of saving Sasha. From her first vet visit to getting the antibiotic was one week at the end of two weeks she was completely normal.  Fight for the health of your cat. They depend on you to be their advocate. 

Birch is now named Rupert and is home with his family in  Rhode Island. We are told he is having fun playing and has been a good boy in his new home.

Update: Oct 2009 - Ruperts family sent some photos and tells us " I couldn't have asked for a better cat for our family. Ruper is now 1 year and K. will be 3 next month. K. has a great appreciation of animals and Rupert is very loving, even when K. decides to play rough. Rupert normally sleeps under our covers at night or in bed with K. Like I said, I couldn't have asked for a better pet and "brother" for K."

Update: Rupert is one year old and we heard; " His vet check-up went very well. He's a healthy 8.7 lbs. The vet also said he is so gorgeous. I'd have to say so myself." from his owner

 Rupert

Oak is now called Sammy. He is home in Quincy, MA

Anne tells us:  "Sammy is doing great.  I did keep him from interacting with Gracie (resident Siamese not from us) for a full week because Gracie is afraid of her own shadow.  They played together this weekend (except at night - I need my sleep!)  I think Sammy will be king of our household!  He's so affectionate - he even comes when I call him.  If you look at him he purrs!"

Update: Fall 2009- Photos and weight are promised after Sammy's upcoming annual vet appt.  Anne tells us "Sammy is a great cat. He is sweet and very affectionate. He is territorial with Gracie and often chases her from their favorite spots around the house. (our bed, a special mat on the floor, my lap) He is much smaller than Gracie but he likes to rule the roost! Otherwise they love each other! They travel to the cape with us on the weekends. We place them in the same small carrying case and they are quite content for 2 or even 3 hours. It's interesting - Gracie asserts herself more at our cape house. 
 My daughter wants to have them with her while we are away [vacationing]. She does not live with us but our cats know her. Sammy falls on the floor at her feet whenever she visits."

Spruce and Maple are now called Maui and Omar. They are home in Natick, MA

Update: January 2009

Maui

Pamela tells us: "Our boys are a joy.  Omar is still the cuddles boy and sits and purrs on me whenever he can.  Maui is more independent and I think of him as the hunter - tossing his toys in the air and always wanting to challenge Omar to serious play.  But I am amazed how good they are with one another.  Each has his own plate and even though Omar eats much more quickly he never tries steal from his brother."

"My house is filled with crunchie paper balls and tissue paper that is such fun to scamper in.  As you can see the boys have doubled in size because they eat well and exercise  madly all over the house.  And, of course, they are still crazy about their da-bird.  Maui has decided he loves to watch TV and also to play with my computer cursor. "

Update: four month and six month photos. Pamela tells us Omar is built more traditional and Maui tends to be more classic.

Omar and Maui at 6 months of age

Pamela tells us; "Omar and Maui continue to be a joy and I cannot believe how big they now are.  With a bit of effort, I think I could train Maui to fetch and retrieve a small ball.  His favorite game is chasing paper balls down the stairs and bringing them half up again.  However, this is still not as exciting as the Dar-bird where both boys now chatter and jump to tremendous heights.....I bought a double bed thinking they would like to share that...but no.  They both still crowd into the one small bed atop of their four-tiered perch." "Omar always monopolizes my lap - though last night Maui was there first and purring away. So we are all fine, healthy, and getting bigger by the day.... maybe even getting a little plump."

Update: fall 2009 - We've had an email with a promise of photos to come when she returns home from London. Pamela says " The boys are wonderful but different a bit in character.  Maui is social and doesn't run away from people, but Omar is very cautious and will bolt. Yet, when alone, one does not appear  alpha over the other.  They chase each other madly twice a day, are very very curious about everything.  Omar loves to pick anything he can up in his mouth and take it somewhere.  He will try to drag everything.  Maui gets our of his collar.  But then Omar will retrieve it.  He's like a mother cat...loves to carry things. Maui is funny, he likes to be with Gene when he does his back exercises on the floor. Gene will flick his fingers and Maui jumps back and forth over his torso...the record yesterday was 26 times....pretty good exercise for him.  Omar not interested... on the other hand Omar is always there on my neck when I work at the computer.  Both sleep together on the bed." "Their bodies now are both substantial and look very much alike still. Both both boys now have lovely coats and tails that stick up. Their fur is wonderful, thick. Neither one talks too much...and Omar tends to talk more than Maui.  So glad I have two of them because they are definitely loving brothers. One thing that is remarkable for Royal Canine is that I have no hairball throw ups....only one. Maui loves my cleaning lady and ignores the vacuum cleaner. Aren't they funny.  Don't know why Omar is not more social with others because he loves me to cuddle him and purrs on my shoulder. 

You know where Omar and Maui get their names from so I thought I would include a link to the Exhibition their owner has been hard at work on. Hailans to Ailans Contemporary Papua New Guinea Art http://hailanstoailans.com The London opening reception was this past week. Along with events in the United Kingdom there are also events in Canada and the United States. 

Update: December 2009 - We received Omar and Maui's one year old photos.

Since Omar likes to shoulder sit I am guessing this is Maui laid out on the desk and .....

.......Omar coming through to find his spot.

Omar and Maui July 2011 - a few weeks before their 3rd birthday.

Snow is now named Mao and he lives with his brother Tsing Tao (cherry from Keva's 2007 litter) and our vets family including two German Shepherds in MA.

With only one day at home we are told " ..... that Tsing Tao and Mao are getting along wonderfully.  Mao was very happy to see Tsing, started purring and rubbing against him immediately.  Tsing Tao thinks that Mao is ok, good toy to chase, pounce on, and chew.  No injuries!  They are cruising the house while we are home.  Haven't seen Tsing Tao this active.  They both love the feather toy you gave me.  Mao isn't so crazy about the dogs yet, but I am sure he will warm up to them.  Thank you for allowing me to adopt this wonderful kitten."

Update: Summer 2009 - Dr. Schaefer sent us some photos of Mao and Tsing Tao (Keva's Spring 2007 litter) she took with her new cell phone. Mao has his special petting time in the morning while Tsing Tao eats. He's kept busy so he won't push Tsing Tao out of the way and eat all his food too. At his last check up he weigh in at 11lbs 10 oz.

These photos are both of Mao.

Update: April 2010 - I get updates on Mao every time I have an appointment for one of the cats or litter of kittens. I have been remiss updating this page, I'm sorry.

After Mao lost his Pawpaw he withdrew and would only come out to accompany his brother Tsing Tao. He would get loving while he waited for his turn to eat. He often hid under the model train set. When his Meowmy had to travel he would go stay with friends and was a normal loving social Siamese. Back at home he was the same withdrawn cat. His owner was beginning to think he just didn't like her but she was not willing to give up on him. A couple months after Tsing Tao passed away a change came over Mao. He now wants to be social and in his owners lap whenever he can. If he can't find her he will call out to her. They are starting to have some conversations and she is seeing the loving social Siamese everyone else told he he was.

We really don't know why Mao behaved this way since he can't really tell us. Was he in mourning for the loss of his Pawapaw? Was it that he knew something was wrong with Tsing Tao and it stressed him? We will never know. What we do know is that the Siamese is an emotional breed that is sometimes hard to figure out. 

I am very happy to hear that Mao is moving on and enjoying his time with his owner....now if I can just get some photos, lol.

  Mao two years old. ( chocolate point)

 Mao looking at his canine sister Aria. He's not quite sure he likes dogs very much. They clearly rank under his Siamese nobility.

Mao 2012 - Five years old

Mao is on the left with his head in the center.  Jim and his wife are former show cat breeders. Mao's two chocolate point companions are their show cats from different breeding lines. They are not from the lines we breed. A curiosity with the one on the right is her nose leather. She had pigment as a kitten and as she matured she lost all color in her nose leather. This is believed to be genetic and she was not used for breeding.

Berry is keeping her diary name. 

She now lives in Iowa with her new big sister Lizzie a Corgi. She moved in and took over the house. She's figured out that Meowmy's nose is the button to push to wake her up. If that doesn't work she puts her nose in Meowmy's ear and turns her purrr on high. She is teaching Lizzie that Siamese are not herding animals.

Keepin' Pawpaw in his chair is hard work.

Update: Berry at five months old

Berry with her big sister Lizzie. Lizzie enjoys taking turns catching Da' Bird.

Update: November 2008 - Photos of Berry -Her owner tells us she is a sneak thief. She finds things around the house and picks them up in her mouth and runs off with them. She has two secret places she hides treasures so when something goes missing its the first place they look. She loves to snuggle and lap sit and is an adoring computer users companion.

Update: March 2009 -  Berry is a big love bug. Her owner tells us if there is a lap available she is in it. Berry responded very well to training. When her owner wants a Berry free surface she only has to apply some double faced tape. Berry really dislikes the sticky feel and will stay off the surface even after the tape is gone. Her mask is a deep dark chocolate. 

Berry's Pawpaw had surgery and she became his constant companion and nurse while he was laid up. He got a new hip and special bonding time with Berry.

Berry has become the latest resistance training accessory for the Wi fit. She catches the strap and adds resistance when her owner is trying to hold the remote still, lol.

She went in for her annual exam and weighs 9 lbs. She did not like going to the vet but was good once out of the carrier. She was very happy to return home and quickly forgave Nancy for taking her to get those shots.

Update: October 2009 We received a photo of Berry with her new sisters Tiggy and Callie. A feral momma cat left them in the middle of the yard with no protection just after they were born. Berry's Meowmy and Pawpaw watched over them waiting for the mom to return. She never did so they took them in and hand fed and raised them.

Pumpkin is now named Coco and lives with her family in Leominster, MA.

Update: Coco is settling with her new family. Here are some photos from day two at home.

Coco learns about her Siamese heritage during story time.

Learning his hard work for a kitten and deserves a little nap time. :)

Update: April 2008 - Six months old - her family says " Coco is the most wonderful cat we've ever had!  She has def. changed my perspective about male vs. female cats.  Coco has the best personality in a cat.  She is SUPER with the kids. She lets the kids pet her and pick her up whenever they want even if she doesn't look so comfortable she still lets them do it for a few seconds and then squirms to let go, but is absolutely NEVER aggressive with them. ~ she loves sleeping in our son's bed.  Although she jumps up on our daughter's bed every night and cuddles with her for a couple minutes when I put her to bed as if to say goodnight ~ She loves watching all the squirrels and birds.  And she has earned her keep around here already.  She caught two mice that we didn't know we had since she's been here.  She's quite a little hunter.  I really can't say enough nice things about her and we get so many compliments on how beautiful she is and what a great personality she has. Coco truly is a joy!  We just love her so much!"

Update: Coco is one year old and we received more photos. Her owners tell us "She is definitely part of the family and still the greatest cat we've ever known.~ She still LOVES to play.  She loves to get the kids wooden alphabet pieces and knock them down the basement stairs.  I can't tell you how many kid toys have gone "missing"

June -Aug. 2008

Coco hangin' with her peeps. Her owner tells us that Coco chooses to sit this way on the couch frequently and seem very comfortable. She was not posed.

Coco has switched from Sleeping with her boy to sleeping with her girl at night but she still makes sure to take naps with her boy.

October 1 yr old

Coco is in J's homework box wait for her to come home.

I'm still the baby aren't I?

Update: Summer 2009 - Stacy tells us Coco started "coughing". At her last Vet visit the doctor determine she has Asthma. Taking 1/2 a tablet of Delta Albaplex a day keeps her symptom free. She says "She is still the BEST cat ever!!!!" and "She doesn't let it get her down." "Coco still LOVES her bird feather. She is a very gifted jumper. She still loves getting into trouble. Her newest thing is getting up on the mantel and knocking stuff down. And getting on the table if the kids leave their water cups and knocking those down. She'll pretty much knock anything down off anything, the kitchen counter, J's dresser, etc. She sleeps on J's bed now."
"She is truly a member of the family and we love her so much. As a matter of fact when I started writing this email she was laying on my lap. I'm sure she sends her love."

(Rain - blue point)

Rain is now named Maxwell Rain and lives with his new family in Grafton, MA.

Update: Maxwell's new family sent us some photo's and let us know how well he is doing. I think Stacey said it best so I will let her words tell you...."We are totally in love with Maxwell.  He is on my lap right now.  It is like having your second child, and thinking you will never love him as much as your first and then they join your household and you can’t picture life without him. ~  I forgot what it is like to have a kitten – He is so much fun."

Max and resident blue point Benny are now buddies. Benny taking on the role of groomer.

Update: Aug 2008

Update: December 2008 - Maxwell's One year old photos

Fern is now named Pixie and lives with her sister Holly who is now named Zuzu. They are at home with their family in Melrose, MA

Update: On Zuzu and Pixies first day home, their owner tells us, Pixie was the leader in exploration. Zuzu would call to her sister and when Pixie wouldn't come Zuzu would run and find her. Michelle sat on the floor with a blanket and Pixie came and curled up between her legs. Then Zuzu joined her for a nice nap.  A week later they are both sleeping in the bed. Zuzu is usually the first one in and gets closest, but this morning Pixie was on Michelle's chest purring up a storm.

 They have their favorite toys. She says Zuzu is a toy hog but Pixie has one wand toy that is her special toy. Pixie will growl if Zuzu comes near it and Pixie hauls it off wand and all. They have a grand time racing around the room, up the cat tree, and up and down the stairs. Their sister ambush tactics are funny too. At a week and a half home When Michelle is on her computer Zuzu curls up in her lap and  Pixie has taken to napping on the desk in front of her.

"Meowmy, I want to go with you today."

Update: April 2008 -6 months old - Pixie likes to make biscuits on Meowmy's neck before bed and again when she wakes up in the morning. Unless Zuzu slips under the sheets and drapes herself over Meowmy for some purring and petting before Pixie gets up to make the biscuits. They like to carry things up and down the stairs and hide them.....Even the camera that took these pictures. At 6 months Pixie is 7 pounds and Zuzu is 6.8 pounds. They love to chase each other around the house and it sounds like a stampede of horses.

Pixie

Zuzu

Update: One year old photos. Their owner tells us: "We are blessed to have Zuzu and Pixie. They are a joy to have around. Pixie is slightly more aggressive, but it's hard to tell since they both give each other a pretty good swat and tackle. Pixie is bigger and uses this to her advantage in the "ring". But Zuzu is a little more cunning. They've both learned to use a cat windoor to go from the living room to the enclosed porch. Zuzu just a bit more coordinated which seems to be due to her more compact body. She's smaller and a little more petite than Pixie who is long. Pixie is still making biscuits on my neck. It is the one time she purrs and really lets you scratch and pet her. She still has a favorite toy that she is again growling with. We hadn't taken it out in a long time and toys are the one area that Zuzu is more aggressive in for sure, so when her favorite came out she made everyone aware that it was hers. They are both curious and a bit mischievous. The difference is Pixie doesn't care while Zuzu will listen. They're both friendly with visitors, but Zuzu usually checks things out from afar before sauntering in.

Zuzu at one year old

Update: Zuzu and Pixie are enjoying their summer. Michelle tells us that when she is outside the girls cry and call to her so she bought them their own enclosure so they can be near her when she is gardening or sitting outside. They each take turns going for walks on leash. "Last year Pixie was belly to the ground, but this year she's a regular old explorer and gets impatient when it's not her turn. Zuzu on the other hand waits for her turn and is fine with Pixie being on her walk." "They still play like kittens and are a joy to have around. Each is unique and we love them for their quirks. Pixie for her neck biscuits- anytime I lie on the bed, she cries for me to flip to her preferred side and starts with her biscuit making. Zuzu has to be a bit stealthy since Pixie gets jealous, so she comes under the covers for some petting and scratching and makes biscuits in the blanket."

Sky kept her diary nickname and lives with her new family in Belchertown, MA.

Sky relaxing with her new brother

Update October 2007- Sky reaching for her Siamese companion Salina. 

Update December 2007- Six month old photos of Sky

Update: March 2008- We received a nice email updating us on our favorite robust girl Sky. Her owner says she is a happy girl, very playful and quite affectionate. She likes to snuggle in tight to her owner for a good nights sleep. She gets along well with all the family pets. Sky, being the beautiful girl she is, she enjoys helping  Lucinda put her earrings and jewelry on in the morning. Lucinda says, "Sky is extremely quick and agile and I think this has to do with her muscularity. In yoga they would say she has "core" strength. She is the fastest of all the cats and has very good "hang time" as they say in sports. She jumps and then seems to hang in the air for a second before she lands. She
uses that "pass through" from the kitchen as a springboard to become airborne and flies right over my head to land in the middle of the rug in the next room. By comparison the other Siamese, Salina (from another breeder) who has that delicate build, is quite clumsy and falls off things all the time."

That is Sky on the chair....

...then on the floor

Sky 

The two dominate cats in the forefront and Sky at the back.

Sky is in the lower left corner.

To keep Sky's stress level as low as we can she is now staying in Kate's room away from all of our cats.

June 2010 - Sky has been very affectionate. She loves to be petted and during petting to be in contact with us. When she is happy she will make biscuits in the air but prefers to have all four of her paws on my skin. She will reach out to touch our skin even making them on my cheek, lol. She purrs up a storm. She stills shows her fear and worry when she hears noises outside her door. She sleeps at night in full body contact with Kate. 

Sage is now named ChaiSohn also nicknamed Skeeter. 

He is at home in Marlboro, MA and will soon be moving with his family to the Houston area of TX.

Update: October 2007 It's hard to believe from these lovely photos but Skeeter's owner tells me he has endless energy and is happy to play non stop.

At home lounging on top the curio cabinet.

Update: February 2008- 8 months of age.  By chance I ran into Skeeter at the Vet's office. He was getting checked over before his trip to Texas.. I was surprised by how big he is. He weighs over 10 pounds. He is beautiful and has filled out so nicely. I wish I had my camera with me. He looks so much like his grandpa Balor. Nice traditional head and full bodied. It was great seeing him!.

Update: April 2008 - Skeeter's owner reports he has continued to grow larger. He now has a large three season porch with two large cat condos as his play ground. They are both enjoying their new home in sunny TX.

Update: Skeeter's One year birthday photos - His owner tells us that he is a busy boy and likes to be on the go. She doesn't like to be away from him and she can't imagine being without him. When she does return home "he "thunders" to the front door and stretches out at my feet to be stroked and assured that I am, indeed, home.  Then he is off again.  Occasionally, when I am working at the computer, he will jump up onto the desk, insist on being cuddled, and go to sleep being held and loved.  But he is most "attached at" night.  He has to be touching me "to the max.""

Update: Skeeter's photos at 18 months - His owner tells us; "He is still a blur of motion and still the love of my life.  He insists on playing with "Da Bird" at least twice a day.  When he is done, he crashes in the armchair.  And he is a real pest when I play the piano!  I love the way he snuggles with me at night and insists on being held when I work at the computer.  All work comes to a halt until he gets his "love fix." "

Update: Skeeter turns two years old. Val tells us: "It is hard to believe I went so long without a Siamese baby.  He is the love of my life.  He wants to play all the time.  When I work at the computer, he sits at my feet and cries.  If I ignore him, he stands on his hind legs, puts a soft paw on my arm, and gives me a soft cry.  If I continue to ignore him, he bites me on the elbow and runs.  He returns to nip until I finally give up and give him the required attention.  Occasionally the attention is simply to hold and love him until he gets his fill.  Occasionally he will crawl under the computer stand and curl up.  But more often we have to play chase and then play with "Da Bird."  Every day I look at him and appreciate the love we share." "I keep expecting him to turn darker but he is still quite light and quite beautiful if I do say so myself. "

Soaking up the sun

That feels good and Meowmy is home!

Val tells us, "Skeeter  has lost his screened-in back porch but has gained a 35 foot enclosed front sunporch. He can now watch the sailboats on the lake and stalk the deer that are always here to entertain him (and eat up all my plants!) Skeeter has had a lot of adjusting to do... a much bigger space.... his biggest adjustment was negotiating hardwood floors! Being used to wall-to-wall carpet, he had a hard time learning to get any traction for his races through the house and he couldn't figure how to stop until he skidded into a backstop! But some area rugs and some experience have improved his locomotive skills. Most importantly, he has learned how to cuddle with me at times other than at bedtime. That was what I missed the most... he wouldn't cuddle except at night. Now we cuddle in the big rocker on the sun porch watching the lake or watching TV or reading. Maybe it's the fact that we never had a big rocker before or maybe it's that he is "getting older" but whatever... I love it. He just had his yearly checkup and is doing great and he behaved so well as she examined him. Sweet Skeets remains at about 10 pounds and looks so sleek and pretty.
I can't tell you how much he means to me and how grateful I am that you let me have him. I can't even conceive of living here without him."

(Cherry - chocolate point)

Cherry is now named Tsing Tao. He now lives with our Vet and her family near Stow, MA

Maeve adopted him as "her kitten".

Update: October 2007, Tsing Tao is growing well. He is almost as big as his grandmother Maeve. He is a quiet kitty with a very laid back personality like his father Balor. He is very easy going and lets us hold him any way we want. He enjoys pouncing on the moving thing under the covers and attacks it with zeal. 

Update: Summer 2008 - Tsing Tao has a new little brother from Keva's Spring 2008 litter. They also live with two German Shepherd brothers.

Update: Fall 2008 - Tsing Tao and Mao enjoy going out the dog door and into the fenced run. Sometimes they catch leaves and bring them into the house. Recently they brought a chipmunk into Pawpaw's office and played tag with it. Each cat sat on either side of the room and tagged the chipmunk as it ran back and forth. Tsing Tao got so excited he had to lie down and rest...the chipmunk made its escape into the house....I wonder if he found his way out the dog door. No one knows.

Update: Summer 2009 -We get updates on Tsing Tao and his brother Mao every time we visit the vet but we are excited to finally get some photos...cell phone photos are better then no photos!

Tsing Tao and Mao (Keva's spring 2008 litter) are seasoned travelers and enjoy their summer home and visiting with Aunt Robin and her Pugs. Tsing Tao like to run and play hard until his heart tells him to rest. He is waiting with his German Shepherd brothers at the door when his owner comes home. Mao usually peeks from around a corner to see what's happening.

Tsing Tao at 2 years of age at his last check up he weighed 9 lbs 10oz. Dr. Schaefer says he is skinny and smaller because of his heart. It was expected he would not have the same growth as a normal kitten. He is beginning to have symptoms of his heart failing. He coughs occasionally and no longer jumps up onto the bed or tables. He waits to be lifted up.

Update: Fall 2009 - After one of my office visits I gave Dr. Schaefer a lift home and was able to stop in and see Tsing Tao for a few minutes. What a beautiful cat he is. He has beautiful deep point color, better then his mum and dad. He was a perfect gentleman and allow me to hold him and love on him. I've often wondered if one of our kittens would remember my voice, I don't think he did. His brother was quite the scamp and wouldn't let me near him. So much for baby  imprinting, lol. It was a last minute decision for me to lend a ride so I didn't have my camera with me. I wish I had. He is quite a striking Siamese and that phone photo just doesn't do him justice.

Update: January 2010 - Tsing Tao is still going and snuggling.

Update: February 2010- Tsing Tao passed away from his heart defect. I know he is happy to be reunited with his human pawpaw who went to heaven before him.

Raven is now formally named Marley. His nickname is Ziggy. He is at home with his new family in Scarborough, ME.

Update: Home photo's of Ziglet, another nickname.

Here he is relaxing and spreading love to his new big brother Cooper, the gentle giant.

Update: February 2008  Marley "Ziggy" at 8 months and his family writes: "Ziggy is so great!!  He is good natured and always ready to come when I call.  He loves to lie on my husband's shoulders.~ He's such a sweet cat, we all love him- especially my husband who was the one most resistant to getting a second cat. Cooper is Ziggy's grandpa. They are buddies, although I think Ziggy is the one who trails after Cooper the most."

Coquina is now named Coco and Murex is named Cinnamon. They are at home together in Clinton, Massachusetts. Coco has taken up a new hobby, bird watching.

Update: Coco & Cinnamon at 4 months

Update - 9 months of age. 

Update 12- 2007: Coco & Cinnamon's owners say the girls are doing fabulous. They can not bear to be separated from Carol. She says even if they are asleep they will wake up and follow her to another room. Coco is displaying the Siamese dog like character. She runs back and forth in the hall wanting to play. Cinnamon takes the more royal position of don't bother me until I'm ready. When she is ready she lap sits and cuddles like a baby. Carol says she is truly a character.

Update: April 2009 - We've heard that Coco and Cinnamon became snowbirds and went to Florida in January for a visit. They had a wonderful time.

Here are a few of the photos.

Love these photos of wintering in Juno, FL.

Olive is at home here with us. Her new name is Finola. Look for cameo appearances of her in future litter diaries. 

Finola has her own queens page Black&Tan Finola Guinness

  Update  Finola at one year of age. Sorry I couldn't get a good photo of her with her eyes open all the way.

Update   See Finola and her kittens in Finola's 2007 Kitten Diary,  Finola's 2008 Kitten Diary,  Finola's 2009 Kitten Diary

Chris tells us. "Good news is that Finola is doing much better. She has developed her own little habits and acceptance of us.

Finola for some reason loves to be in a little tent for the day. So, every morning, she insists before I go to work that I build her a tent on my side of the bed.
Ken is usually on the other side of the bed still sleeping. I make a little nest for her and she goes right in to it.
Finnegan can join her at certain times of the day.
I create a little flap at the end of the tent where she can hide and watch birds in the woodpecker bird feeder. It is so cute when a Northern Flicker comes to eat at the box, Finola gets so excited.
Finnegan is also an avid bird watcher and spends most of his day trying to get them.

Finola has even let me cut her claws and not been too upset and she does love to be brushed.
She still can be scared of us and worries if we are going to do something to her."

Lilac is now named Black&Tan Tymo Mostiamo and lives in the Netherlands at Cattery Mostiamo. 

Tymo is the father of Grand International Champion Dorian Gray of Cat Cramer and Champion Ansari Mostiamo

Update - Tymo 6 months of age. Monique tells us he weighs about 4 kilo (8.8 pounds)

Update  Sept.2006  Tymo attended his first cat show on Sept 24th. Here are a few photo's of him at the show. 

Monique says "We’ve had a lot of positive reactions from many  people. (He won a little prize because the public liked him most) His report was excellent." 

 comments in blue italics are from me.

He received this report from the judge:

Written in German then translated to Dutch and then to English so we could read it :) Thank you Monique!

Type: excellent

Size: excellent  harmonious proportion, exc. legs and paws

Head: good type but a little bit straight profile, good chin, excellent placed medium-sized ears

Eyes: beautiful form, beautiful clear mid-blue eyes

Tail: excellent form and length

Coat: very well structure, very beautiful light-colored body color, very beautiful

Condition: excellent

Completion: very beautiful, sweet and very good well-groomed young cat

This is a wonderful result from his first show.

Monique says the funny thing was while talking to the staff of Neocat about whether Tymo was Thai or Siamese (the staff hadn’t seen Tymo yet) the judge wanted him in the competition for Best in Show! Because Neocat does not recognizes a registered Siamese as a Thai cat  they would not allow him to go to the best in show. Neocat as many other show clubs sees Thai cats as a different breed from Siamese Cats.

Update  New photo of Tymo, Sept 2007

Updated Photos: December 2007 Tymo was at a cat show still trying to get a determination as a Thai cat. Here are some lovely photo's from that day.

Update: June 2008 - Tymo's owner in the Netherlands tells us "Tymo is still a wonderful cat with a tremendously character. All breeders who has come to us with their cat for a meeting (stud service) with Tymo are speaking about the characters of his kittens. They are open and free, have a lot of energy and are very friendly, never nervous. I feel proud that I can tell you this and I want to tell you again that we are so happy with him! "

This photo was taken of him at 2 years of age. He is snuggled up with two of his girl friends at Cattery Mostiamo.

Update: Tymo has now retired from breeding. His daughter Mona is going to carry on the line at Cattery Mostiamo as a registered Thai Cat.

Ruby is at home here with us. Her new name is Keva and she can be see on her queen page. She can also be seen in photos of her in her Kitten Diaries.

Cobalt is now named Cocoa and lives in Natick, Massachusetts.

Jade is now named Koota and Amber is now named Jibelle. They are at home together in Waltham, Massachusetts.

Update: June 2006

Koota and Belle had their annual check up. They were given a excellent health report with the exception of Koota's dental exam. Gingivitis was noted and a recommendation of a cleaning was made. She went in for her cleaning in September2011. The doctors found her teeth were worse then they expected. She had to have teeth extracted. Beth kindly consented to sending us her Vet records.  In 2009 Koota's dental report said her teeth were normal, no tartar, mild gingivitis was observed. Both girls were eating Purina Dental dry kibble (this food is no longer manufactured by Purina).  In 2010 the gingivitis was observed as significant, but no plaque, only mild tartar. Belle's dental reports are all normal healthy reports. While doing her dental cleaning the doctors did a biopsy of the tissue of the right maxillary gingiva. The comments of that report state "This pattern of inflammation is rather non specific as to etiology [cause of disease] and could be caused by any regional infection or injury. This pattern of inflammation could be consistent with an infected case of feline plasma cell stomatitis (particularly if the inflammation is generalized, multifocal and recurrent) The pathogenesis [mechanism by which the disease is caused] of feline plasma cell stomatitis is not completely known." On 11/30/2011 Koota was rechecked and her surgery sites were looking good. She also had blood work and a kidney panel done and her results were normal. Beth will stay in touch with us on her future progress to report if there is any recurrent episodes.

I talked to Dr. Schaefer (my Vet) about Koota's teeth. She agreed with the owners vet that the dental issue is of unknown cause. It happens in all cats. They see many domestic cats with this too. Keva from this same litter has excellent condition teeth. Dr. Schaefer's Siamese Mao & Dr. Gould's Siamese Dwight are also in excellent dental health.

Koota 2011

We also learned that Belle was euthanized on 10/28/2011.  Amber - We hope you are back with your momma Maeve now.

Beth also kindly shared Belle's Vet records with us. As stated above, Belle has had excellent health reports every year. She went in for her vaccinations on 3/11/2011 and again received a healthy report with no problems. Beth told me it was because of this excellent report that she dismissed a change in behavior in Belle. Belle seemed to become finicky about her food after her owners had to make a trip away from home on 4/16/2011. Sometimes we all wonder if our cats change their behavior to show their dislike of our leaving them. Magi does every time we go away. Belle's owners bought other foods to see if she wanted a change. She ate but not as she once did. It wasn't until 5/18/2011 when Belle stopped being her playful self they realized something was really wrong. Belle was taken to the animal hospital.  Their doctor determined she was in Acute Renal Failure. By the time a cat becomes symptomatic for kidney disease they have already lost 2/3's of their kidney function.  They treated her with the standard kidney failure protocol. Over the next few months Belle's kidney values continued to get worse. She was tolerant of treatment in the beginning but as she got sicker she began to fight it. In the end they followed her wishes. A major cause of kidney disease in younger cats is an undetected kidney infection. With hindsight Belle's owner feels this was probably the case. She was unable to catch it soon enough to reverse the damage.  A urinalysis and culture was not preformed on Belle's urine. A diagnostic kidney ultrasound and/or a kidney biopsy was also not done. Her vet was unable to determine the cause of her kidney failure.

Belle's diagnosis of ARF is stated in her record. There was some confusion for Belles owner because they mentioned all the possible causes they could look at and gave her a CRF hand out. Treatment for ARF and CRF are basically the same. Many Vets use these terms interchangeably. CRF is really a long term chronic condition of the elderly cat.  ARF is a sudden kidney event that can sometimes become CRF if the event is not countered quickly enough and properly. Unfortunately Belle's kidney damage could not be reversed, too much time had passed. This often happens because cats by nature hide their symptoms from us when they are not feeling well. 

I talked to Dr. Schaefer (my Vet) about Belle and had a kidney panel run on Keva (same litter). Her levels were normal. I also inquired about Dr. Schaefer's Siamese Mao & Dr. Gould's Siamese Dwight are also in excellent health.

If you are an owner of one of our cats and are reading this, Please, if your cat becomes sick contact us asap. We can't help you if we are not informed and we want to help. Belle's passing has brought it home to us that we need to add a page on kidney health, arf, & crf. This is a link to that page: Protecting Your Cat's Kidneys

Beth has promised to send us some grown up photos of the girls. She said Belle picked her as her favorite. She was their naughty kitty who was full of curiosity and energy. As a kitten she found a space in the toe kick of the kitchen and used that area as her hiding place. When they bought a new dishwasher they found Belle's secret stash of toys. She had gotten to big to fit under and couldn't retrieve them, lol. Koota was happy to live in Belles shadow as her devoted companion. Since Belle's death Koota has reached out more to her family and has grown closer to them. She is coming into her own and will soon have a new kitten join her to become her companion.

Update Willow & Sasha - 6 months of age 

Update  Sasha & Willow - 8 months of age 

Update  Sasha & Willow - 1 year of age 

Update Jan.2007 photo of Sasha and Willow that shows  their eye color

Update November 2007 Photos of Sasha and Willow at two years of age.

Update January 2010- Sasha and Willow are now four years old and just had their Vet check up. Nancy wrote to tell us how they are doing. " the vet pronounced them healthy and gorgeous- she was especially happy to see that their teeth were pristine ~ Willow weighs 8 lb. 10 oz. and Sasha weighs 7 lb. 14 oz." ~ " Willow has become ‘my’ cat, and Sasha has become Rich’s, just as we planned. Willow has finally become a lap sitter and makes biscuits for extended periods of time; she’s the only cat I’ve ever had that does that. The other night, she was kneading slower and slower as she got more relaxed and had almost stopped when my leg twitched and she woke up and started like mad again! Sasha isn’t a lap sitter but she gets up on Rich’s lap to be brushed [they both do]- her thing with Rich is to tease him by eluding him when he pays attention to her and running to particular places [on the stairs, or in the living room] to see if he’ll follow. If he does, he pets and scratches her and she loves it- if he doesn’t follow and stays in his chair, she’ll come in and stare at him, meowing the whole time as if to say, “Dad! Come on, Dad! You’re supposed to follow me!” Sometimes we can see Balor in her, but she pretty much takes after her momma Maeve."

Update: October 2007

Fiona at 2 years old and her companion Siamese Sammy.

"The cats are wonderful."  during recent renovations "Clancy and Fiona have been spending most of their days in the guest room/office area to keep them safe and out of mischief during construction. Clancy loves having unlimited access to me and my office. He is such a cuddle bug and loves to sit on my lap as I type or sits on the arm of my chair and put his paws oh my shoulder - adorable. Fiona is still a love, as long as its her idea. She still LOVES being brushed and can't understand why Clancy doesn't like it as much."

Fiona & Clancy - Although packed with displaced kitchen items, the sun porch, also had several deliberate soft and cozy kitten cuddle spots.

(Willow-blue point) - Willow

  Willow kept her diary name and is now known as Willow. :) She is at home with her family in South Hamilton, MA.

Sept. 2006 update- I received an email from Willow's owner. Sorry no photo. She said Willow is a wonderful alarm clock. At 6:20 am she begins purring and walks around the bed until her owner wakes. Willow also enjoys playing "hide and seek" and "Where did the mouse go?" She also likes to talk and will yowl to get their attention. =^..^=

Update: January 2008 - Willow's owner tells us that Willow is a very dear and wonderful member of the family.  She has stayed steady at 10 lbs. for the past year. She is described as pretty and sleek but also has some of  Balor's (her father) stockiness to her, in face and in body. She sent along some photos from Dec. 2006  when Willow  was 14 months old and Aug 2007 when she was 22 months old. They say Willow is playful and follows them around the house. Naturally a Siamese must know everything that is going on in her home.

 Willow with her chosen snuggle partner.

Update: For Willow's 3rd birthday her owner sent me an email with photos. In her email she says "Willow has been a blessing to me and my family and we can't imagine life without her. You really helped make her the happy healthy kitty she is today and I just wanted to say thanks."
