Welcome to Letters Page!

 

This page is dedicated to all the parents of our kitties...I figured if they took the time to share their stories and photos with us we would share them with you. Enjoy!

 

Jerzee Girl,  Stubby & Ty Catington

Adults placed in fantastic home!

 

 

         

 

August 21, 2009

Lori, thanks for delivering the trio to us safe and sound yesterday afternoon.  We also appreciated the extra goodies that you brought and the invaluable advice and information.

 

I am a bit concerned about Ty, because his loose stools are now a pale beige, grayish color.  However, he did eat all three sections of the wet food, and the other cats didn’t have any.  Have you seen a stool this color before in any of your cats?  Should I be worried?   

 

This morning, the trio is bonding with me really well.  I was surprised that Stubby got on my lap for a short while.  He purred loudly when I petted him.  In fact, he’s purred the loudest of all.  Ty also got up on my lap for about 10 to 15 minutes.  But Jerzee Girl was the first to climb on my lap.

 

Jerzee Girl wants to come indoors desperately.  She came in for about 5 minutes last night, and then didn’t want to go back outside.  I worried that if she didn’t return to the screened area that Stubby would miss her and become distressed.

 

Interestingly, both Stubby and Jerzee Girl come to the sliding door and cry loudly when I go inside.  They both seem to want to be with me, and I am thrilled about that. 

 

We haven’t introduced our original four cats to the trio yet, but they are watching one another closely through the glass.  Our big timid gray cat, however, panicks when I open the door to go in and out.  He runs away and hides. 

 

Thanks,

Deanna

Ty is doing great!!!!

 

Hi Lori,

 

Ty is doing wonderfully, and we’re not seeing the pale stools any more.  

 

Ty is coming inside the house now.  He came upstairs this morning and explored every room and nook and cranny.  He sniffed everything like a hound dog.  Ty is so adorable and affectionate.  He nose kisses us, and also allows me to place my cheek against his head.  He purrs when we snuggle.

 

Also, Ty was introduced very successfully to our two male cats.  The big gray one, Smokey, shared the wing back chair in the living room with him.  And Biff—the black & white cat you met---seems fascinated by Ty.  He follows him around the house, and they rub noses periodically.  No arguments so far.  Not even a hiss yet, which is totally astounding!

 

Jerzee Girl is still a bit skittish, but she permits us to pet her and she gets on our laps for short spells.

 

 

Stubby continues to like Daniel best.  He loves it when Daniel comes out by the pool after dark.  He lets Daniel pet him endlessly while purring loudly.

 

 

We are now keeping the small window in the kitchen open, and Ty is already using it to go in and out of the house.  Jerzee is reluctant to use the open window, but she is willing to come inside if we open the sliding door.  She’s just not comfortable with the idea of that little open window yet, but we’ve noticed that she watches Ty do it.

 

Not surprisingly, Stubby doesn’t want any part of coming inside the house.  Daniel showed him where the little open window is, and Stubby just kind of looked at it and then walked around the pool.

 

Ty seems to have the biggest appetite with Stubby running a close second.  Jerzee Girl doesn’t seem to eat much, although I’ve watched her put one nugget at a time of the Iams in her mouth.

 

Jerzee Girl loves that rug you left with us.  She gets underneath it and sleeps, but when we come outside, she scoots out to greet us.

 

The big test will be Nala, our one-eared alpha girl cat.  However, so far, she just sits on the sidelines and observes.  Nala hasn’t pulled one of her hissy fits yet. 

 

 

Lori, here’s a quick update on Jerzee Girl:  She is now coming in and out of the house through the open kitchen window.  After she watched Ty do it numerous times today, she decided it might be a good thing after all.

 

Having a great time with the trio,
Deanna

Hi Lori, the trio is doing great, and they’ve adjusted amazingly well to their new and forever home.  Jerzee Girl has become just about a full-time indoor cat, and Ty and Stubby are on their way to do the same.  Ty is being spoiled rotten by Daniel.  When he channel surfs between the various news shows in the evenings, Ty sits right beside him on the family room sofa, grabbing morsels of food from his dinner plate. 

 

Stubby climbs right through that kitchen window just like the other six cats!  He loves to be petted and stroked, and he adores Daniel.  He also likes me---he lets me pick him up and kiss and snuggle with him now.  He is so sweet!

 

Jerzee Girl caused a near nervous breakdown with us on Sunday.  We couldn’t find her anywhere in the house or on the screened lanai.  We absolutely panicked, and Daniel even walked all around the yard and the perimeter of the house to search for her, although we knew there was no way she could have gotten outdoors.  Long story short:  Jerzee suddenly sprinted down the stairs and into the living room, so apparently she’d been snoozing in one of the closets upstairs.  We have noticed her strolling out of the master bedroom closet this week, so now we’ve calmed down and accepted that she is going to be a maverick and hide when we call her.  She’s a deal and a half!

 

We crack up when we watch Jerzee Girl walk, as she really struts her stuff.  Tail up in the air and prancing.  She knows she’s adorable.  Jerzee definitely has her own agenda and a mind of her own. 

 

We love the trio!  Oh yeah, our other four cats have totally accepted the trio, and vice versa.  Ty and Roxanne eat from the same dish and drink from the same bowl, and yesterday they were sleeping side-by-side on the family room couch.

 

Our big timid male gray cat has formed bonds with Stubby and Ty.  They sort of rub noses and then they nap together.  Stubby really seems taken with Smokey.  It’s really cute.

 

Time for me to shower and get ready to visit my hospice patient. 

 

Hope all is well with you and your Bengals,

Deanna

Update on my new best friend......

 

Hi Lori…..

 

Just wanted to give you an update on the baby girl.

She spent her first many hours hiding under my bed. If I would go to one side, she would go to the other.

 She’s now my snuggle bug! I have a fake fur blanket that she loves. She feels safe next to me laying in the bed. By the way….I haven’t done my laundry like I thought I was going to do. She has sleepy energy and that’s all we’ve been doing. I love it. She is smiling laying next to me. What a cutie. My husband forgot to close the potty lid and she found a fun place to play. She had water all over the seat cover. It gave me a chuckle. She’s been using her litter boxes and eating and drinking well. Her spay swelling has gone all the way down! Only a little tiny bump from the incision.

I’ll keep you posted….I love her!

Now back to my snuggle time!

Hello Lori,

Here's a few pics of Zeus; he well adjusted to his new home and we love having him in (as part of) our family. He follows Nathan around and sleeps with us. Most of the time, the loving is on his terns. We are trying to get a pic of him walking across the first wall of our negative edge pool, it looks like he is walking on water when he does this.

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

Hi Lori,

I wanted to send some photos of Marley...

Hi Lori,
Billy Joel and Patricia are doing good. It seems the more comfortable they get the faster they are.
They like playing in the window. They can usually be found sleeping on Cheyenne's bed.
We kept finding the water bowl spilled then I remembered reading they like to play in water.
We are going to have to find a tighter fitting one.
We like taking photos of them. Patricia is still a little shy and takes a little longer to greet you
Billy Joel greets everyone and looks for them. They both love the cube to play in it's always flipped upside down.
When it warms up I am sure they will spend a lot of time in the sunroom watching birds and squirrels. Hope all is well.
Brenda

 

   

 

 

 



Hi Lori,
The girls sleep, eat and play together --- Just like I hoped for.

Hey Lori!
Sorry I never got around to calling you yesterday, we were thinking of Eva all day long.
How did she do?? Luna is doing awesome. She is quite possibly the sweetest, happiest cat EVER.
Get this...she LOVES the kids (a little surprised at how quickly she is warming up to them), and of course they love her back ten fold : )
She loves to play w/them and is fairly affectionate w/them and my husband but definitely associates me as "mom".
Good thing I'm used to it!! She sleeps w/me every night and follows me around like just like my shadow.
It's funny, if I sit down (god forbid) and pick up the remote control, she nudges my hand like "hey, put that down!",
and she sits on my lap while I fold my laundry. We absolutely adore her and can't wait for her sis.
Let me know how she is doing and I'll be in touch...

Hey all! Here a couple of pics of our new kitties....
"Luna" ( the greyish one) and "Kimba" (cheetah like color).
We are SO in love w/these babies...so playful and lovable : )





___________________________________________________________________________________
 



1-27-09
The girls are adjusting wonderfully to one another and to the family.
They are HILARIOUS when they stalk each other out and play fight, it's been quite the entertainment around here.
We can't believe how high they can jump when playing!!
Luna is still "my girl"- following me around everywhere and sleeping at my feet every night.
Kimba is loving too, but a different personality.
She finds one of the kids rooms to sleep in at night,
I guess she's still figuring out where she likes it best : ) We love them both so much!
Julie

SO SWEET. My Aunt and Uncle (huge cat lovers) came over to meet the girls last night and fell in love.
They couldn't believe how soft they were : )
I'm so glad that we got two, they seem to be able to act more like "cats" when they have one another.
Luna is still the more docile of the two, and we are convinced that Kimba herself is truly convinced that she is a leopard.
The kids come into the room and will be like, "Where's "Jungle Cat"??" aka, Kimba.
She gets SO low to the ground when she's stalking, her eyes get huge and intense, and she shakes she's so into it.
Luna just looks at her like "you're such a freak..."
I will try to take more pics soon (we've been making home videos of them too!).
They are really filling out and growing quickly - I think Luna is going to be a pretty good size.
Have a great day and Thanks a bunch for sharing the pics of Momma!
Julie

The girls are SO GOOD!! We all just totally adore both of them. So funny, they are virtually inseparable
They clean each other, sleep together, wait for one another while they are using the potty....yeah, everything.
Luna is fairly calm and very sweet although she still pretty much prefers me as one to really love on her.
We told the kids that under any of the beds is the cats' "base" (like in tag!) and that they weren't allowed to mess w/them.
The kids are old enough that they are never naughty w/them or anything - they just want to be around the girls ALWAYS, and as you know,
kitties have little minds of their own. Kimba is so cute, easier "spooked" but yet easier for everyone to cuddle with?? It's weird,
she runs initially when anyone, even I, walk into a room (like she's never seen me before )
but immediately comes back out and becomes super affectionate. Kimba lets the kids hold her, kiss her,
and she'll lay on their laps and stuff. Luna will allow them to pick her up, very briefly - and then she's done.
She just lets out a pathetic little "meow" to let them know to put her down, and then they do.
When everyone see's Luna, Kirk tells them "that's Julie's cat..." - my babies
We went to dinner at my sisters last night and after a while, I start getting anxious to get back to my girls!
Kirk's as bad as me - sometimes they decide that bed time for the humans is going to
playtime for them (they can't "fight" on the floor either, it has to be on our bed, on top of me...)
so I put them out and shut the door - Kirk throws a fit. "Oh Julie!! that's not nice - they just want to be with you..." Oh brother.
So anyway, they are getting bigger. They are both great eaters, great energy, super w/the litter box, VERY playful, etc.
Awesome kitties Lori.

I'm going to call my mom and dad today and let them know about
the Brown Spotty potential - I told Kirk and he goes " Oh! I loved that cat!!..."
I told him not to get any bright ideas - two is plenty!!
Also, the girls let me bathe them, clip their nails, and clean their ears - SO GOOD!!
ttys...

Juli

Hi Lori!!
Hope you and all your furry friends are doing well.
We just couldn't love our two additions to the family any more than we do.
Luna and Kimba continue to bring us all endless amounts of love and entertainment and I thought I'd thought pass on a couple of pics.
They are the prettiest kitties ever and are SO SWEET : )



 

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

"Christmas-aka Bella, Eve and Chatty Cat"

12-2008

Gavin and Yvette decided to get a silver Bengal kitty for their daughter for Christmas. Gavin came over with his son... Christopher fell in love with Christmas' silver sister. Two days later, Gavin emailed me asking about getting Eve for a Christmas surprise for his son. Gavin's wife was in Iraq while all of this was happening. I sent her photos of the two silver Bengal girls. The week before Christmas Yvette came home for Christmas. They both came over to see how big the girls were getting. Well, Yvette fell in love with Chatty Cat, the remaining sister. Gavin and his wife came over Christmas eve to pick up the girls and the kitten starter package. Gavin took me aside and said he will be back in 2 days to get Chatty for his wife as a going away present to her before she goes back to Iraq. Gavin and the kids came over to get Chatty instead of going to get a movie...I think Yvette was one happy lady...she now has her own Bengal girl.

Below is a photo Gavin sent me of the Bengal girls on their cat condo. This photo show that our Bengal kitties love their Cat condos!

Naptime!

1-26-09

The girls are great, Chatty is the naughtiest. She gets into everything. But, you gotta love her. Eve is getting big.  Bella, is the charmer . She definitely will let you know when she wants some attention. I'll send more pics as I take them. By the way, I like the look to the site now. Talk to you soon!

 

 

 

"Zan"

 

July 2008-

Good morning Lori,



Hi Lori,

 
As promised, here are a few pictures of Zan.  I will send you more as I get them!
 
I would like to thank you for doing such an amazing job!  I took him to the vet for his check-up, and they absolutely loved him!  They had a hard time hearing his heartbeat because he was purring so loudly!  They were very smitten with him.  Zan is such an affectionate cat.  He sleeps snuggled up with us at night, and is such a lap cat during the day.  He is still a little unsure of the kids, but is very patient with them and loves their attention.  He loves to play in the water, and comes running to the kitchen and jumps in the sink every time he hears me turn the water on!

     

Having two older cats made me forget how curious and mischievous kittens are!  He is such a great reminder :o)  He is a wonderful addition to our family.  

 


 

I will continue to keep you updated on him.

 
Jennifer
 

          

 

 


August 2008-

Hi Lori! 

I saw that you updated your kittens page to say that Silver Boy 2 is coming home to be with Zan! 

I love it! 

I got excited all over again!!  It even got Josh excited!

Jen

 


 

Lori-
Here are a couple of new pictures of Zan.  I told him the good news about getting a playmate, and he's very excited!  We all are.  Josh was showing your website to a friend of ours last night and telling him all about our new kitten (Max, Brodie, No Name?). 

 

 

Michaela has been asking me every day when we are getting him.  Thank you again for doing such a wonderful job with them!! 

Jen


Zan has a new brother....Max a silver rosette boy.

"Shyla"

 

Lori-I just got back from the vet with Shyla and they loved her.  She got her rabies shot, and they did a physical exam.  She looks really good, and is using her litterbox just fine.  I scheduled her spay for the end of August, I think the 29th. 

She loves her toys, and is using her cat house that I got her.  She is also eating a bunch and loves to play in her water.  She is adjusting quite nicely I must say.  The first day she was very quiet and just sat on the bed wanting us to pet her, now she is jumping all around and playing like a nut!  She is very curious.  Here are a couple pictures so you can see her.

Thanks again.

Laura


 

      

 


 

Lori- Shyla is totally comfortable in the house now, she knows where all three litter boxes are and she is  using them.  She also has started sleeping in the cat tree with Gus during the day.  They adore each other!  They sit in front of the sliding glass doors in the sun in the afternoon and lick each other.  I was actually surprised when we finally introduced them, they were really friendly with each other right away and Gus was SO totally enraptured by her.  He just can't seem to keep his little nose away from her, he is always sniffing her and calling for her when she leaves the room.  I have never heard him make noises like that before.  It is pretty cute.  And the best thing.... Dyna is finally getting a break from Gus jumping on her all the time!  Now that he has Shyla to play with, Dyna is finally getting some peace and quiet.  She loves the cats, but I think Gus was wearing her out with his constant playing.  Shyla wasn't sure what to think of Dyna at first, but Dyna is persistent with that nose of hers, and Shyla quickly realized that she didn't want to hurt her, she just wants to be a good mommy and make sure the little kitten is okay.  So all is well, they are all getting along fabulously.  


 
I have to tell you, my house looks like a bomb went off and exploded cat toys everywhere!  Not only do I have the ton of toys you sent home with me, but of course every time we go to the pet store we find several more that we want.  Shyla has a little blue crinkly mouse that she loves to roll around on the floor with.  And we found a ball covered in some sort of cotton mesh with little strings sticking out all over it, and it has bells inside that roll around, and they both love that as well as those little plastic balls with the bells in them that you gave me.  It seems that anything that rolls is a huge hit.  Of course, Gus is quite fond of anything with catnip in it.  But he dropped one of his cat nip toys in the big water bowl and it looked like we had cat nip tea instead of water!  Silly kitties.

 

I took some more picture a couple days ago, I wanted to send you one with them asleep on the cat tree.  It is really cute.  Best Friends Forever!

 
Laura

 
PS - She is still a total love bug!  She purrs and lays on my lap on the couch all the time!  She is the sweetest kitty I have ever had.

 

Hi Lori,

I wanted to send you some new pictures of Shyla.  She is really beautiful!  And the sweetest kitty ever.  Her and Gus are best friends!

"Zeva"

Hi,

 
As promised some recent pics of Zeva.  She has grown so much since we had her.  She is so much to play with and just hang out with.  She loves her toys and she loves to find new things to play with everyday.  

 
Talk to you soon,
Leslie, Jared and Zeva

 
PS she is already a Gator fan :)

 

    

 

    


2-2009

 

Hi Lori,

 
I can't believe it but Zeva turned one last week!  I just wanted to send you some pics of the girls.  They are doing great and having so much fun.  Zeva is more playful than ever!  She fell in the pool on Super Bowl Sunday, we tried to get a picture of her but all she wanted to do was be alone :).  I think she was a bit embarrassed since we had company over.  Zoey loves running around, not as much as a lover as Zeva, but when she wants attention she will let you know.  She is our dare devil of the family.  They both love being outside and they hang out the forrest (aka our garden).  Zeva taunts the squirrels and Zoey likes to hang out on the rocks.  We will still need to get some pics of them out there.  I will forward some on once we do!  Hope you are doing well...Zeva and Zoey say hi!  

 
Talk to you soon,
Leslie, Jared, Zeva and Zoey

 

 
I was helping Daddy paint the trim...I tried not to get any paint
off the cardboard.  I think I did a pretty good job! 

 

 

 
I am not too sure if Zeva even knew I was there but
she was keeping me warm so I just let her stay there!
 

 

 

 
 



 
Mommy was trying to get laundry done...I knew it would be fun to 
drive her crazy for a bit!  Zeva and I took turns on jumping in and out!

 
 



 
I was thinking about let Zeva have a turn now...just thinking...
it is fun to taunt my big sister!

 
 



 
We were really tired from running around today...it was time
for a nap!

 
 



 
I don't know what I did....Kitty Jail is no fun, but little do Mommy 
and Daddy know, I can fit through rails...shh, don't tell them :)!

 
 



 
more nap time...

 
 



 
Boy, was I thirsty today...I love it when they run the water in 
tub!

 
 



 
Maybe I will share with my little sister today...she has her own 
bowl on the other side!  Why does she always have to take food
from me....

 
 



 
Our favorite nap spot...

 
 



 
I love being outside!  I love my big water bowl..

 
 



 
What is going on here...the water is not staying in my bowl....

 
 

 

 

 

 

   

"Tattoo & Benny"

 

Dear Lori
 
I'm finally getting some pictures of our boys back to you. They have grown sooo much.
They are both doing well with the toilet training. Some times they still need to be patient and learn how  to share.
As when they were smaller they both would be in the litter box at the same time.
I can't tell you how happy we are with them. They are the joy of our life. (After our 4 Granddaughters of course !! )
They do well around the girls but after a while enough is enough and they go off to hide.
 
They love their showers with me. I think the warm water is really soothing to them. And being held of course.
The ladder in the picture is a 5 ft. We were busy putting carpet on top of our entertainment center so they would have a nap place in the family room.
To give you an idea of their size the tile on the floor is 20"  I weighted them today Benny is 9 lbs. and Tattoo is 8 lbs. 7 oz.
They just turned 7 months on April 30th.
 
Take care,
Nick, Paula Benny and Tattoo

Lori-

The kittens are doing fine and are beginning to accept Chachi. He's still a little nervous around them. Lex is calm and likes to sleep with me. He's very playful. Mercedes is some piece of work. She turned from being shy to being an attacking psycho cat. Its really funny. We're all very happy with the kittens. Thanks again.

Lori-

Just in case you missed killer psycho kitty and her sidekick lexus. They wanted to say hi. Just got a digital camera. Enjoy!

"Scarlett"

Dec. 2007

Lori-
 
We could not be happier with our girl.  The car ride home was a bit of an adventure.  She cried about half way, then tired herself out.  Once we got home, the real adventure began.  She wasted no time learning the lay of the land.  Her first encounter with the rabbits was scary on both ends.  One of the rabbits was not at all pleased.  The other wasn't happy, but he was willing to give her a chance.  Scarlett wasn't too sure about them, either.  By the time I went to bed, Scarlett was touching noses with one rabbit, and still freaking out the other one.  Gordon ended up sleeping downstairs on the couch to make sure all parties played nicely overnight... and ended up sharing the couch with someone.
 
Sunday was a blur of discovering the townhouse has stairs, the toys (including her favorite-- a laser pointer that just seems to move a bit too quickly for her), and that her nap spot is under the master bed upstairs.  I took a nap yesterday afternoon, and had to share the couch as well. She loves running up and down the stairs... and more so, she loves to run around in the bedroom.  (You'd think we adopted a herd of elephants!)  She is so completely affectionate, I can barely stand it.  :)
 
Today's her first day alone in the house, so hopefully we won't go home to too big of a mess.  *fingers crossed*
 

Thanks!

Sarah

Lori-
I apologize for it being so long since I last updated you on how is 
Scarlett is doing.  So far we've had a very busy year, so I'm just 
getting around to doing this.

Scarlett is doing wonderfully.  She has made herself right at home.  
She still not entirely friendly with the bunnies, but she's getting 
there.  She just has to learn that tapping them on the butt it is not 
an acceptable form of playing.  She is getting very big.  She 
currently weighs in at just under 7 pounds, and she has plenty more 
growing to do.  I am attaching a couple of pictures so you can see how 
big she's gotten.  I'll update you more in another email, but I just 
have two quick notes.

 



1) We got her spayed and microchipped today. 
2) Gordon and I have been talking about getting Scarlett a sibling.  
We'd want a brown boy.  We don't want one right away.  We're probably 
going to move in May or June, so we're going to wait until after that 
so it'd be less stressful on him.  But we were wondering what the 
charge on him would be.  We're just looking for pet quality, so any 
information you could give us would be great.

   

Thanks so much and I'll send you more on the troublemaker soon!

Sarah


August 2008

Lori,
I was actually just thinking about you the other day, as Scarlett's first birthday just passed.  It seems like just yesterday we got her, and now she's all grown up... I use that term lightly, as she is still leaving mass chaos and destruction in her wake.  What else can you expect from a kitten?
 
We actually had to get rid of the rabbits, as I became incredibly allergic to them.  So she lost her bunny friends, but she still has a friend to play with.  One of our friends' cat had kittens, so they gave us one.  She and Scarlett get along very well.  And it's nice to know that if we don't have the energy to tire her out, Giselle does.  It's actually pretty funny to watch them, as they have this weird alpha structure.  The one in charge changes on a daily basis.  But it keeps things interesting, so we can't complain.

I am attaching a couple of current photos of her, as you can see how much she's grown.
 
-Sarah

Cindy is doing great, has fallen into the routine of our home and getting along great, especially with my other Bengal.  I would consider adopting another Bengal from you in the future, please keep me informed if you have a female, over 2, that you would like to place, please give me a call

Everyday Cindy feels more comfortable with me and the rest of the critter folks.  This morning she was under my feet complaining to me that I was taking too long to prepare her breakfast. All in all things are working out great.  Thanks. Tony

Lori,

"Bella"

It's 10:18 p.m. and all is quieting down... whew.  It's been an exciting night.  My 3 year old was so happy to see her.  Bella is doing well.  Once I started getting Brynn (3 yr. old) ready for bed, I dimmed down the lights, put on some soundscapes and she is relaxing.  She ate a little which is good.  She has been in the house on the condo.  Now she is sleeping... That thing is awesome!!! It actually is Navy and Gray and matches our living room decor ... it could not have worked out better!  Sebastian is a little upset.  He doesn't really know what to think of all of this yet.  I'm sure that he will be okay.  My friends boyfriend was here when I came home.  He has two cats, and loves cats period.  He is going to check on them tomorrow (ya right, he'll probably end up staying all day), while I go to my clients house for a few hours.  I am so glad we met and just enamored with Bella.  I love her so much already!

Thanks for everything... be looking for pictures Thursday at the latest!

Lori,

Madonna is doing so good.  She is just a joy to have... My bed is now her bed... she sleeps with Evan and I every night.  She is Evan's "baby".  She loves to sit on my chest first thing in the morning while I'm walking around getting everyone up.  It's becoming a routine.  Bella and Sebastian are doing better, still a little snippy with her though.  I am keeping a close watch on them...  She has the breakfast routine down (climbing on the counter, etc...) she has not learned "patience" yet, but I know she will.  Amie said that Bella went into her room and laid with her last night... She got to pet her and she loved it.  We are coming out tomorrow and will be there till Sunday evening.

"Madonna"

Hi there!  I have tried to call you a few times but did not get through.  Madonna is doing great!  Her and Bella are pals it seems... I think they all get jealous of each other sometimes... I will have to get another one to even it out!  LOL... Evan would kill me.  I have been having so much fun.  She has taken a liking to Evan... She is daddy's girl.  However, he just got transferred to KY and so she's having to share the love.  She likes to sleep with Amie, and Amie says she can't sleep without her.  It's funny.  I have some pictures that I'm sending you.  Let me know what you think.  Bella has always liked to eat anything.... Boy you are really being able to tell now!!!  Amie said the other day that she thought Bella was getting fat! LOL... We call her Mrs. Piggy!  She has gotten soooo long.  She really has filled out! Poor Madonna is the petite one.  Talk with you soon.

Lori,

Thanks for the email.  I was thinking about you the other day.  We just got back from KY Sun.  We were gone for about a week.  The kitties did good with the new sitter.  She was great.  Madonna is sweet as ever.  It seems like they all missed me cause they have all been following me around the house all week.  Bella even licked my hand! LOL.... I was so happy.  Her and Sebastian are really coming around.  I don't think they would be as loveable if Madonna hadn't come along.  I am so blessed to have them all.  People think I'm crazy that I have 3, but I wouldn't change it for the world.  And really they aren't any trouble, just loads of fun and love.  Sebastian is starting to sleep with me again.  That makes me happy, and especially because Madonna is up there too.  Amie and I took a nap today and Madonna just got right in between us and napped with us too!  It was fun.  Bella won't get on the bed but she will stay under it.  Whatever room I'm in they are all in.  The sitter said she had fun playing fetch with Madonna.  There is a stuffed rino toy that she has claimed as hers.  She loves it.  The sitter said she would throw it and Madonna would run and grab it then bring it back.  Too cute!  Anyway hope all is well with you!

"Mickey"

(Savanna and JJ Hornabee kitten)

Lori,

                   

 

The tech at the vet said she has seen a lot of Bengal's but Mickey "by far has the nicest type and markings she's yet seen". So thanks again. The vet was very happy with him and really enjoyed him. He was laughing because Mickey was purring so loud that it was difficult for him to get Mickey's heart rate!!! The tech said that he actually purred when she drew blood for the FIV/ FeLV test!!!! They are so happy that I am so adamantly anti-declaw and are looking forward to seeing him in a few weeks for his final booster. He will get his chip when he gets neutered.

Thanks again!!!!

"Bindi and Cosmo"

(Trixibella and Ty Catington kitten)

April 17, 2008

Lori,

Here's my two babies, minding their own business, for once! HA  SUE


 

Lori,

 

 
Had a great day, Bindi and Cosmo seem to be fitting in real well here. They both went out on the porch and had a ball watching the squirrels and cardinals and even raccoon eating. When they saw the raccoon they both crouched down real low.ha They are both so comical, we really enjoy them already! Gretchen is ok with them she just licked Bindi, Zoey barks at them nonstop, starting to get on my nerves. We let Dusty out on the porch with them while they were playing. He just was following them around, he found them very interesting. Helen, growled a few times but she will be fine in a few days.

 
The boys were just amazed that we actually brought home two kittens. They really love them already, Ryan 14 yr old,  tucked them in there kitty bed with a soft baby blanket and they settled right in. I have them in my bathroom off the bedroom. I'm sure they will be in our bed once the other animals come to except them. When my 11 yr Sean came home, he went into the bathroom and they were sitting up on the toilet seat and he got down on his knees and went to give Bindi a hug and she laid her head on his shoulder it was soooo cute.

Lori,

My babies are getting bigger, and they are so cute! I will take some pictures and send them to you I promise. My oldest son gets the biggest kick out of Bindi, he picks her up and puts her on his shoulder and carries her around. He laughs as he talks to her, she opens her mouth and makes this raspy meow. He just loves her so much!
Cosmo he cracks me up he does not want to be held, but yet whenever I turn around he is right their watching everything I do. He is so cute also, he just wants affection on his own terms, He likes to lay in my garden window, and sun himself especially when Im in the kitchen. Hes always close by to me and I go from room to room. Cosmo just loves my dachshund dog Gretchen they are always sitting together butt to butt in my bedroom chair. Bindi and Zoey sit together on the bed its all so cute. Dusty is pretty much a loaner and sometimes tries to hide from the kittens because they are so hyper and he is so laid back.Of course Dusty likes Bindi but only tolerates Cosmo because he is always coming up to him and he starts licking Dustys ears and pretty soon Cosmo is on his back and they are wrestling around like crazy. They are so funny, I got Dusty shaved in the lion cut, not so much fur to vacumn. Zoey normally has long fur also, I had her shaved also, she looks like a cute little puppy with black spots on her. Now I dont have to vacumn every other day, its usually every 3 or 4 days. I love it!

Hi,

Here they are, not the best pictures, but I wanted you to see how cute they all were! Isnt that cool of Bindi up there on that rock?

 

Cosmo crawled up there one time, but by the time I went for the camera he was already down. not to mention Rick had the camera. But he never crawled up there again, and he did just fine. My little one Sean, wants to put the kittens in the pool with him but I keep saying No!!!  They like water but only coming out of the faucet! Or riding on a boogy board!ha

Hi!
We just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how over the moon we are with our new kitten. He is settling in really well and everyone loves him!
He is HILARIOUS!!! I've never seen such an athletic kitten! He will do back flips for his 'bird'. He's very loving too, he was all over us last night, kneading and dribbling all over us!
He lets the kids pick him up, and take him to their playroom! he has a great time attacking the toys! He is right now watching cartoons with my 5 year old on his lap with a little blanket over him 'so he can be warm'!!!! LOL!

Anyway. He's doing great, using the litter box like a good boy, and is being spoiled to death by everyone. He's loving the big house and exploring every inch!

I've included a picture. Take care and thanks again for the wonderful addition to our family!

I'm sure we'll be back in the future for a companion!

Hi Lori

Monte is still a great cat, very gentle and loving. He and my Husband are best friends (I kid you not) Monte walks round the house making strange howling noises until he finds Bill. Bentley, on the other hand only has eyes for me. I should have called him 'Shadow' he follows me everywhere. Even gets in the shower with me. He's still a naughty little kleptomaniac, steals the most unusual things. He went fishing the other day, I was cleaning out the goldfish tank, and had put the fish in a bowl till I was done. Quick as a flash, Bentley jumped up, flicked the fish out of the bowl, and ran away with it in his mouth!!!! I caught him thankfully and the fish survived. Whew. He's like a naughty little kid. I  love him so much though, he sleeps with me every night, we have LONNNGGG conversations. I've never met such a talkative cat! He gives us all a running commentary of what he's doing. And he has to have the last word, always! LOL! He has a funny meow too. He's long and lanky looking compared to Monte the tank! But a very beautiful cat. People are always amazed at how pretty they are.
Take care,
Dani

      

 

 

   


Hi Lori
We took the little guy to the vet yesterday for all of his shots etc. He was very good. The vet LOVED him!
We got the cats some new toys today, as they keep killing the old ones. I have to clean up their toys every morning. There's always feathers everywhere!
OK, here is Bentley with his new 'bird on a stick' He loved it so much he wouldn't let go LOL!! When my Son finally let him take it, he carried it off
in his mouth (like a dog with a stick) but it was so long, he kept getting himself stuck trying to run away with it!! Hilarious.
Anyway,
Here ya go....

 "Jupiter"

(Charla and Ty Catington kitten)

Greetings Lori!



We've been having so much fun since the new baby got here! From the minute we opened the kennel door he's been exploring and playing and loving us up to no end! He's so incredibly sweet and he'll sleep curled up next to me all night.. I don't think I ever encountered such an affectionate kitten before!

In fact, he's passed out on my lap as I type this.. He's waaaay too cute for his own good! And he's using it to his advantage.. His new sister's warming up to him very fast, and I have a feeling they'll be playing and napping together in no time.. He's awakened the "inner kitten" in her and has her playing with toys and running all around..

Thank you so much for having us over the other night! I've never been to a breeder's before and it was a great initiation! It was wonderful to meet you and all the kitties.. I could sense a lot of love and care and it is so nice to meet a person that's so passionate about her pets!


We've already taken lots and lots of pictures of the little guy.. I'll have to upload them onto a server and send you the link soon.. I think we've settled on Jupiter for a name because of that red marble fur of his. :)

Thank you so much for the perfect little kitten! It's been nonstop smiles and laughter since he got here.. I'm looking forward to years more.. !

Have a great Thanksgiving Lori!!
