Just an update on how My Lady Freija is doing- which is to say, well. She gets bigger every day (though she's not quite 5kg yet) and cuddlier to boot. If you're around she absolutely has to be with you, and will give you a bath at every opportunity. I've attached a few photos so you can see how she's going- I hope you like them :) Susan

An irresistible photo of Lurch & Gus
Hi Cynthia,
Wow! The time has flown by!
I just wanted to drop you a quick note and let you know how well our boy is doing. I am so proud of him, he's really settled in well in such a short time. We have our vocal smoochy boy now!! Every morning the little man wakes us up for a cuddle and a pat and makes sure we have a proper shower. :)
I love how he forgets how heavy he is and just slumps on my chest or shoulder for some Mama time, while his little brother cleans his head. So cute!!
Gus and Lurch are getting along so well. They share most everything and love a good play fight. It's quite a funny sight to see.
I've attached a few pic of our babies.
I'm looking forward to a catch up soon!
Take care,
Nic.

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Pascal......
Pascal's 4th Birthday tomorrow, and he grows even more handsome every day. He's matured into a gorgeous boy, and has started to become even more affectionate in the last year, now that he's had his wild teens :)
Buying a bag of frozen scallops as a special birthday present; he likes to scoop them out of his bowl and eat them off his paw, very smart.
Cheers,
Erica and Pascal the Rascal
(ps Pascal & Caddie are brother and sister)

Floyd
Yuuki - Blaze Red Silver & white tabby (1 yr)
21 /2/ 2012
Hi Cynthia
Hope you are all well. Had to say, I love your new website. Absolutely brilliant! I never get sick of looking at all those beautiful photos. Will always be looking, especially at the new kitties, and am always giving your website details to people who ask us where we got our beautiful Floyd.
Attached is a recent photo of Floyd, who continues to be a joy to have around. He certainly has a placid nature, just wants to be around us all the time, but only comes for cuddles on his terms, when he's in the mood.He prefers to snuggle up next to us, always touching us, rather than sitting on us. He is getting too big to sit on us now. He doesn't eat much, whichI'm grateful for, as I don't want him to get overweight. We take Floyd andTeddy outside a couple of times a week for a couple of hours to get some outdoor exercise. We never let them go out alone, and they have a lovely time in the garden.
Looking forward to seeing you at the next cat show, maybe.
Regards, Gaye and Frank.
Yuuki - Polly red silver & white boy Khan Oodle
Hi Cynthia & Graham
Hope you are all well.
His highness is doing well, he is about 98 cm long, (nose to tail), and over 6 kg, but under all that fur he is still skinny but slowly starting to fill out.
He loves his nightly walks, going around checking out everyone that comes into the park, he especially loves the attention he gets from the kids. Most people can’t believe that he walks on a lead and how big he is. A couple of the residents have a good laugh when they see me being pulled along by Khan as he is chasing rabbits. He also loves getting into the long grass and pushing his way through, the tighter the squeeze the more he loves it. He is quite a good little hunter, no fly is safe that comes into the house. He won’t give up until he has caught it, no matter how long it takes him.
Gina is calling him the drill sergeant, he’s waking her up 10 minutes before her alarm goes off every morning, and doesn’t give up until she is up and dressed, then he goes and snoozes for an hour or two.
He still doesn’t like us to leave him long, he complains even when we are in the office and don’t let him in, and still carries on if I’m late coming in, a couple of times Gina had to come and get me because he wouldn’t stop, and once I was inside he was happy.
We still count our selves lucky in getting him. He is one of a kind.
Tks
Alistair & Gina

Introducing our new 'kid' - Freya the Feral Purrbaby
We are thrilled with our new 'family member' from our good friend Grace at Makeitmaines Freya has the looks of a feral with the heart of a purrbaby. She is a lovely big robust girl combining true to type coonie looks, size and a sweet coonie purrsonality. Her coat is a rich, dark black torte tabby.
She has some interesting old coonie lines that will be exciting to work with later on

Clark and Thomas Wayne.
Just thought I'd share some pics of my two gorgeous little boys with you - though Thomas Wayne isn't so little anymore! Thomas is doing very well, he now thinks he owns the place and bosses us around. I forgot to get his dried food the other week and he had to slum it with wiskers for a few days and I swear he sulked! The other amusing thing about him at the moment, if we are watching TV at night and sitting on separate couches he divides his time between us. It's very sweet!! Clark now has to kiss him goodbye if we go out and before he goes to bed. If Thomas is asleep somewhere and Clark can't see him he calls 'Keee here keee' As you can see they do pretty much everything together!
Cheers Christine

Hi Cynthia and Graham
Charlie has adapted to country life very well. He has only spent 1 night with me in South Yarra, as I have been here on the country property.
He loves chasing butterflies and flies. He loves being in the garden with me and stretches his muscles with fast running around the bushes.
He is very lay back and he gets along with the dogs chasing their tails. Anne

Hi Cynthia
I have some photos of Lola for you, she is growing so much. She has a really funny personality, and I can tell when she is crabby, she looks cute when she frowns. She loves the water, its impossible to wash your hands in the sink without her jumping up and splashing water everywhere. When I get out of the shower she is straight in to play. She loves her little balls to play with, she will pick them up and carry them around in her mouth to wherever she wants to play - which is normally in the bathtub. She loves sleeping on her pink bed or on the beanbag in the sun during the day, and on her pink bed next to ours of a night. She is quite well behaved for a kitten, and still goes to my mums for a sleepover at least one a fortnight. She still hasnt had a play with Seamus yet, she still hisses at him and the dog, but its funny, as soon as I take her around there, she strolls straight out of her carrier and walks around like she owns the place. Seamus is still scared of her, probably because she is growing so quickly. I ended up putting her water bowl in a spare clean litter tray I had, so now when she splashes it out, she splashes in the excess water in the tray instead of having it all over the floor. I have never seen her drink out of her bowl like a nromal cat, she always puts her paw in and licks the water off that instead, or just drinks straight from our tap. She really is a true delight to have around us, shes such an entertainer! I hope you like the photos :) Sarah

Ruby has a new friend
Max has been here just over 3 weeks and I can't imagine the house without him. He has adjusted so well - afer the initial settling in he is eating with the Slinky's and out in the day pen with them. He is a real live wire - Molly tries to disipline him but he doesn't take much notice - he certainly doesn't get offended by anything! Ryan and he get on briliantly - this breed is built for hav ing kids around - he takes everthing in his stride. He has been much admired at the vet last week - they have a litter of 5 week old kittens they have been finding homes for and comparing them to "Max" was quite funny - he is a big boy and boy does he like his food. So all goes well and he loves having the other 2 teenager Slinky's to play with - they really are a very nice combination - Ruby ( the little Heeler) thinks all cats are great .
Take Care Diana

Jackie's gorgeous artwork of Satan
Hey Cynthia,
It wouldn’t be easy to say goodbye, but in effect you are sharing your love gives all your purchasers a more loving kitten, who enjoys affection and being with people very much.
We had a big day here today, a baby pigeon flew into our warehouse with a baby magpie hot on his tails, so a temporary truce was called for a unified feline attack force.
Interestingly it seems to have been a great venting of tension, and I got a few hours of happy, calm adult cats for a barbecue dinner while Satan had a nap after all the excitement! He has rev’ed up a little today too, he is lying on the back of the couch I sit on, scooting along the wall biting it.
He pretends to bite me as he goes past, then turns around and scoots back the other way, with big wild eyes looking very fierce. Jackie

Here Satan and Truffles are lead by Major Minke Minx on the offensive. Sugar taught Satan very, very well, he was calm, collected and crouching as he inched closer. We managed to save both birds, but it took us an hour to get the magpie out!

Here are some new photos of Orion! He's settled in completely and now owns the place! Well, at least, he thinks he owns the place.
We all know that Georgie is really the boss!
He and Georgie play a lot now and he spends all day in the cat run! He also plays will Bella (the dog) which is very funny to watch! He loves to stretch.
Anyways! Hope you like the photos Jess

"We are so delighted with Thor. He travelled home without a sound, came swaggering out of the carry box, checked us out and his surroundings and within a couple of hours was out of his room and bouncing around the lounge room. He decided very quickly that we were his family.
On Saturday we had lots of visitors (who came just to meet him) and he greeted them as if he had always been part of our family.
It’s funny, if we are eating at the table and we leave to go into the lounge and he is asleep on one of the chairs . You hear a squeak when he wakes up and you have to say “We’re in here Thor and in he stalks,settles on Pete’s lap and resumes his nap.
He follows me every where, and when I am playing with him he races up and down the stairs from his room along the corridor, through the kitchen and back!
Thank you so much for our bundle of joy!"

"Bella has settled in really well, it took Kel a little while to get used her new friend with oodles of energy! We had some growling and hissing, now they are best friends! They chase each other around the house and enjoy play fighting on the lounge room floor. She is funny at bed time and thinks it is funny to give me kisses through the night! and pouncing on Sam's head!! She is just a bundle of joy and constantly has us laughing with her antics.We love her dearly and she has fitted in really well!" Aleshia.

Henry is such a fun ‘little’ fella and is very affectionate. He's taken to sometimes sleeping on my pillow above my head which means that I wake up with funnier hair than it normally is. Henry is getting quite chatty and loves to see us when we come in. He has wonderful eyesight and spots a little creature from a great distance - some tiny tiny insect, barely visible to us, which he of course loves chasing. We're wondering how he's going to react to seeing his first huntsman.
John and I were only saying the other day that the best decision we've made this year was to get ‘little’ Henry. We can't imagine what it would be like without him. What must it be like for you with all your little friends!?
Thanks again for keeping in touch,
Love to all from Jacque, John, Aphid and Henry X

Chicago- is doing well. He is one very clever cat.
He & Molly play flat out morning & night, but sleep from lunch time on. They play fight which is quite funny to watch; Chicago just drops (more of a flop really) straight to the floor & poor little Molly can’t reach him because he just sticks his legs out to stop her. They run & chase each other; it looks quite funny they will go one direction with Molly chasing Chicago, then they come back the other direction with Chicago chasing Molly.
He has gone through 2 toy mice & is onto his third. He will sit in the spare room & watch the dogs as they play in the back yard. I'm sure he 'taunts' them when they can't reach him. He loves smooching the window with them on the other side of it.
He still loves getting in the shower each morning once I've finished, he sits on the mat waiting for me to get out & as soon as I open the door he steps in as I step out. I think that’s become a bit of a habit.”
I have some photos & video (on the camera) at home which I must bring in & send to you. People can’t get over the size of him & when I tell them that yours are actually larger they are a bit gob smacked. Everyone loves his tail, it’s the first thing they all seem to say 'look at his tail', he then proceeds to flop & seems to say 'yeah I know, isn't it good'.
We have built a run for them onto the side of the house, as I did not want to confine them just to indoors, but wanted them to be able to go out, but be safe from other cats & for the wildlife to be safe from them. They access it through the cat door & its about 2.5 metres long & is as high as the eaves. Dad put a floor in it, so that they wouldn't come inside with dirty wet feet. They both love it, we've put a day bed & scratching pole out there for them & we are looking at building some steps up the wall & putting a couple of hammocks in there for them, once I can figure out how. . When they are playing Chicago goes through the cat door like a bull at a gate, all you hear is this bang, thump, thump & you know they are running around. Regards Kathy

I'm starting to discover the perils of having a big cat. Namely that if he falls asleep on my arm, my arm goes to sleep as well. Oh, well.
Here is a photo a photo of him with his friend.

Chicago is such a wonderful boy, I think he is an old sole in a young body; nothing really worries him, only if he doesn't get enough bickies left for him!
Molly has settled down with him & they play flat out together, sometimes they get a bit rough; but they soon sort their selves out. Usually Chicago just rolls over & gives into her, I think its easier.
Regards Kathy

Pascal the Rascal.
Just a quick note, Pascal's going wonderfully, you were right about him being a water-baby, he will jump into the bath with me, he has no fear of water, he's absolutely fascinated by it and loves to splash his paws. I've been staying down at the shack with him for the last week, and letting him out supervised for a while each day, we're right on the water, he was intrigued by the water and waded straight in!
He's very good in the car and has no issues about travelling in a cat carrier. He's the smartest cat I've ever known, he's becoming a master at fetch, we can play for hours. His favourite toy is still his little white mouse (which is becoming quite grey by now), closely followed by bottle tops which he can keep himself fascinated with for hours on end, despite any fancy toys I buy him. He loves to wrap himself around your shoulders, purring contentedly.
He's quite big already, he's already outgrown Mia my parents cat, I took him around for a visit the other day, Pascal is so trusting, wanted to make friends but Mia was having none of it and went
and hid under the bed. He's quite fearless and loves to explore new places, when any other cat would be wary and put out.
He loves his brush and gets a grooming every day when I finish work, it's our special bonding time, he likes to help and will wash himself at the same time, he's gorgeous to watch, if you show him his tail he will wrap his paws around it and start grooming, and will roll over for you to brush both sides for him. Until he starts becoming playful which usually means it's time for a game of fetch.
Cheers, Erica & Pascal
