Clementine
Suzanne,
I got your phone message - I left you
one also but I'm uncertain you received
it..JPG)
Clementine got here safely. She was
quiet all the way home. Once we got home
I sequestered her in my bedroom (with
litter box, food, water, cat condo,
scratching post & toys) and stayed with
her for 2 hours. Then I had to go to
work. When I got off work I cleaned her
litter box, fed her some wet food and
played with her. She is well socialized
and loves to be petted. She also likes
to be held. She's just a little shy
right now so I'm not seeing any ornery
behavior. Althought I'm hoping for some
soon! She is about as perfect a kitten
as I've ever seen. And she is absolutely
beautiful. I am thrilled with her. I'll
write again to let you know how she is
doing after she settles in a bit more.

Sunflower
Hi
Suzanne,
She
is doing well. She is 3 pounds now
and lots of fun.
She loves to play and entertains us for hours.
 Grace
adores her and loves playing with
her. She has such a sweet nature.
Thank You,
Lindsay and Michelle.
Sophie and McGreggor
hi
just wanted to drop you a line and
let you know these beautiful
kittens are doing really well. they
were welcomed easily by the other
cats and they are just the best
kittens. i don't know what i ever
did without them. sophie is a great
girl, she likes to go off by herself
and then comes round regularly for
some lovin. she insists on your
complete attention, wants to be
petted with both hands. she
especially wants that tummy rubbed.
she is so pretty and elegant looking
and is a bit of a princess.
McGreggor is absolutely the sweetest
boy around. he's gentle and loving.
he would be a lap kitten if he
wasn't such a boy, he hands with the
other guy cats. he especially loves
AJ the main coon.
thank you so much for the great work
you do breeding the best.

Yoda
.JPG)
Yoda arrived and he is very cute! I was
worried when you said he had an ugly
duckling stage but he is just what I was
hoping for...and he is very playful
too.... Kibbi
and Yoda are adjusting to each other and
I
think Kibbi is going to enjoy having his
1/2 brother around. I'll
keep you posted on how they are
doing.....thanks again Mark
Winston
I have tried to send few pics of
Winston, but the computer is acting
up and won't do it...I will keep
re-sending...or just send you some
pics on regular mail for starters.
The little dude is doing
great...didn't get in trouble when I
was gone for 3 hours.
He has briefly met all
the dogs...but 3 big heads wanting
to sniff at the same time was enough
for one day. He did sleep on same
bed w/Mandy, who really doesn't care
about other creatures. + She did
live previously w/dominant cat.
Max wanted to lick Winston and full
body wash wasn't the best option for
him, but tolerated it well. The
problem w/Max is that he is very
loving and clumsy, he doesn't know
where the tongue ends and teeth
begins, also he is 94lbs.
Bruno was ok w/Winston when he
didn't move...Bruno goes for the
movement...therefore I will work
w/them over the next few weeks.
Bruno on long line and "too bad"
place close by.
Winston is very curious and all over
the place. He wants to be part of
everything, so he has been in the
pantry, dishwasher, closet,
bookcase... and he is eyeballing the
lamps.
He seems to be very happy when he is
high up; back of the couch, top of
the cat tree, etc.
I am still waiting for him to
"crash". He sleeps his nights, but
doesn't nap too much during the day.
He is running 300 miles an hour. I
am actually thinking about collar
w/cow bell on it
A) to hear where he is B) to slow
him down.
 .
I do have to say, he really is a
joy, such a good natured kitten.
Anyway, I will get some pics asap
one way or another.
Cheers, Tarja.
Moxie
Hi Suzanne!
We just brought her home a half hour
ago! She is absolutely precious!
She was very shy and quiet on the
drive home. When we arrived home we
opened the carrier and she remained
shy for about 30 seconds and then
she crawled out and started
exploring.
.JPG)
.JPG)
She is fascinated with a
mirror we have in her safe room and
she is playing with all of her
toys. She resisted letting us pick
her up at first but as soon as you
scratch behind her ears she sinks
into a purring puddle in your arms.
She is wonderful! We have our other
cats in the next room and she made
the decision to introduce her
herself by pawing under the door.
We will wait another day or two
before making a supervised
introduction, but so far I think she
will handle herself just fine.
We will send pictures very soon.
Thank you so much for her!
Best regards,
Joann and Rich
Makunda
FYI.... He took 9th AB kitten in one
ring today..... (61 total kittens)  Ouachita
Makunda of FrontPageKat
I'll send you the pics of "buzz" the
new fold, soon.... I think you'll
really like him..
Take care,
Connie
NOVEMBER
Merlin and Angus
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
I
took a few shots of my favorite
turkeys yesterday, and thought you
would be able to see that Merlin has
indeed survived, and thrived! He’s
such a HULK! I don’t know how many
bytes or whatever you can get at
once, so will send just a couple at
a time. 
Do
you still have contact with the lady
who bred Angus? Do you think she’d
like to see how pretty he grew up to
be? If so, send me her email
address and I’ll send some to her…or
feel free to forward these.
I
just adore these little guys! I had
a little surgical procedure last
Friday, and have been in bed most of
the time since. As you can tell,
they stay right with me. Most of
the time, they’re at the foot of the
bed, as shown, but sometimes Merlin
comes up and lays down next to my
shoulder, and Angus drapes himself
across my legs. They are such sweet
creatures. 
Thank
you again for Merlin, and for
helping us find Angus. Our lives
have been SO enriched!
Fondly,
Suzanne
Brooklyn (ie
Sammy)
Thanks for the information and
no hurry to get back to us. We had
a very nice Thanksgiving. Glad you
got to spend the time with your
girls.
Brooklyn is doing very good and
he is such a dear boy if he would
just learn the word no. He is so
curious about everything that
sometimes he ends up in places in
the house he shouldn't be. Oh
well.....don't we all at some
point? The new food just seem to be
the solution.
Thanks Again for giving us
Brooklyn.
For your information
we renamed Brooklyn a few weeks
after we got him because he ignored
that name. We renamed him "Sammy"
Donna
Chase
Hi Suzanne,
Just wanted to update you on Chase. He
is wonderful. It took about 10 days for
Simon to come around but now they play
all the time. Chase thinks he can do any
thing. He lays on top of Simon and just
blends into him. He went for his shots
on the 20th and all is well. Thanks so
much from me and Simon.
Gerri
Tavey
and Fergus(long
haired perk eared scottish fold)
I ordered soup!
How is this for an after Thanksgiving
Dinner picture?
Suzanne,
Both Tavey and Fergus carry their toys
arround in their mouth. Is this a breed
trait?
They take them where they want to play
and then play. Then they carry them back
and start all over again.
I also had a couple of questions;
Should I intervene and break up their
"fights" sometimes they get really
rough.
How much wet food should I let Fergus
have? They have Science Diet and the
Stuff you sent with them as dry food
down all the time. I have been giving
them 1/4 of a small can of pro plan
kitten food about 4 X a day. Fergus
would eat 1/2 can about every 2 hours if
I let him. He is quite the beggar!
Everytime I go into the kitchen he
meow's and meows for food.
Have a happy thanksgiving.
I bought them a can of turkey cat food
for tomorrow:) Janet
They sleep!
 It's
our nap time!
Tavey and Fergus
 I
really think they are just fine!
We
found the king size bed! What FUN!!!!
Where is the
Sunday paper!!
Hard to get them
to pose!
Both are fine and
adorable :) Janet
Hi and good morning,
We had a restful night. They were
both quite good. Fergus slept on my
legs for part of the night, I am not
sure where Tavey slept, I think in
her little bed. There is no snooze
alarm on a hungry kitten! We were up
and eating by 6:30.
Tavey LOVES to play in the shower;
she takes her toys in there and bats
them around. She and Fergus play on
opposite sides of the glass shower
doors. It is really funny to watch.
Fergus is the investigator. Tavey is
getting more adventurous this
morning. They are chasing each other
all over. They ate well this
morning. Each of them has sneezed a
few times but no other signs of any
issues.
Fergus wants love and lap time Tavey
wants to play!
They are great with each other. Once
during the night Fergus jumped off
our bed and onto Tavey as she
sauntered by-she hissed and batted
him. They sound like a heard of
elephants running around right now.
I am going to try to trim those
little claws today, they are very
sharp.
They seem to be happy and adjusting
rapidly. Thanks for such well
adjusted kittens, we are smitten!
Are your ankle bracelets the right
length?
Thanks so much,
Janet, Rod, Tavey and Fergus
Hi Suzanne,
Well they arrived safe and sound.
They were right on time. Tavey has
been the shy one, Fergus-the
brave-came right out of the carrier,
ate used the box and sat in my lap.
Tavey took her time coming out. She
ate a little and the rolled and
snuggled on my lap. They are both
wonderful!
Fergus has already run around most
of the house, Tavey is still playing
in the bathroom where we let them
out of the carrier. I had a bed and
some toys, food and water and she is
still there! They are so sweet.
Yep she just ate. Fergus was a
pig, he ate and ate in the car.
Tavey ate a little bit of wet
food in the car from my hand.
Then just now she ate quite a
bit.
Thanks again for everything.
They are running around like
wild kittens. Little or no
adjustment time required.
Janet
Thanks for everything,
More later,
Janet
Tipu
oh tipu is doing just
fine
every now and then we
feel like his nose is a
little runny and he
sneezes or what not but
his eatiing and playing
habbits dont show that
he is sick or something
we are looking into
buying another kitten
what do you know about
norwegiun cats?
would that be a good
thing to have another
kitten for tipu to play
with or u think it is
better for him to be
alone with us?
or if you give me areal
good discount i will buy
another british
shorthair from you...hehehe...
thanks for checking in
i will send you some
current pictures of tipu
very soon
Sunflower
Hi
Suzanne,
Sunflower is adjusting well, she is
so sweet, Grace thinks she is
wonderful.
She
will not eat any dry food, she will
eat the Friskies that we give her 2x
a day. What do we do?
Lindsay and Michelle
Kusumi
Hi,
it’s Kasumi’s owner!
I
have a question about the microchips
that you use. Kasumi is (nearly)
ready for a one-month trip to France
for Christmas (she got her
vaccinations and all). The only
thing is that France asks for the
microchip ISO 11784, and I was
wondering if the AVID microchip that
she got implanted was this standard.
Did you have any problems with the
cats you send to Europe? I’ll also
try to get some information from the
French customs.
She’s still very sweet and very
smart. With the winter coming, her
hair is thick and fluffy, and she’s
now nearly 9 lbs (I’ve attached a
picture of her, she loves to sleep
in boxes, in totally uncomfortable
positions
J
). I think she’ll love to travel and
meet other animals. She spent a
week-end at one of my friends’ and
was quickly friend with her cat and
2 dogs. It should be fun!
Sabrina
Griffanie and Flame
Hi Suzanne,
I just wanted to give you an update on
Annie and Flame. Both are doing great,
Annie is a real sweetheart and is always
looking for attention. She cooperates
with brushing and nail clipping. She is
a real sweetheart.
Flame is a sweetheart too when she wants
to be. Right now all is good with her
and she is coming to be for attention,
but when i brush her, or epically when i
clip her nails, she gets mad and it can
take days till she comes looking for
attention. After a nail clipping she
will not come near me for days and if I
go to her, she runs away. After a few
days she is back to normal and looking
for attention.
Thanks again for letting me adopt these
2 beautiful cats. If and when you have a
male that is in need of a good home, let
me know.
thanks. Gene
Isadore and Sherman
aka Tank
 ENJOY!!!!!
Here are 3 new
pictures of my babies in the new house.
They seem to
be doing fine, but are still not
sleeping with us much.
Jim, we think,
figured it out ... it is becaue we slept
upstairs at the old house and now, we
sleep downstairs.
God, they
are sooooooooooo cute. 
Thank you,
Thank you, Thank you!
Love Dixie
Ciaran
Suzanne, here are
a couple pictures of Ciaran.
The eyes cleared
up very well and he is growing and doing
great. We all love him to death, he gets
very spoiled around here.
Thanks,
Bonnie, Steve and Hope

I just
wanted to send you some pics
of Daphne.
She
is absolutely wonderful! The
pictures show Daphne doing
her favorite past time,
watching the fish in the
fish tank. Thank you again
for the wonderful happiness
she brings to our family.

James

She is sooo rotten! It is great! I tease
her that she takes off running just to
get the dogs to chase after her so they
get in trouble.
Oh she likes him. She will go
into his room when he is home
and lay on his bed and 'talk' to
him until Chase comes and pets
her. He thinks she is pretty
special too. She is such a lovey
dovey.

Perle and Leda

OCTOBER
Cielo
Dear Suzanne:
I
am not sure if you remember me, but
we purchased our little Cielo from
you in 2003. It is hard to believe
that he will be 4 this January! I
am enclosing a picture of my curious
one and wish to thank you once again
for all the joy you have brought
into our lives with this lively
little boy. The other picture is of
our oldest boy, Osito. He will be 7
in November. He came to us from
Elusive Blue in 2001. Osito’s
father was Raleigh of Elusive Blue
and he was in the line of Elusive
Blue Conner of Turningleaf that was
Cielo’s father. It is a small
world.
The
main reason for my note is to ask if
you would please notify me when you
have a retired cat coming up for
adoption. My son is currently in
Medical school at the University of
Louisville in Kentucky. He and his
fiancé would like to have a British
shorthair, but since she did not
grow up with cats, they feel that
one that is a little older rather
than a kitten will be easier to
adapt to. My son really is a pet
person and at some time would like
to have more than one cat and or dog
in his household, so we would want
to make sure that he chooses a cat
that likes people and other pets for
the future. He has also looked at
your Scottish Fold website and since
they tend to have the same adorable
personalities as a Brit, he may even
consider one of them. Of course,
his first choice would be Cielo’s
mother, Vina, his sister, Sonora or
his uncle Stormy. However,
depending on the timing and the cat,
I am sure he would consider any of
the others. They are all so
beautiful! He would love to have
one of mine, but I could not part
with either of them and without the
other one to keep each other
company, I am afraid my home would
be in danger of the aftermath of
loneliness.
I
do have a bit of sad information.
In July, we lost our 18 ½ year old
baby girl, Patches. She was a stray
that found her way to us and is
missed greatly by all of us. My
veterinarian keeps telling me that
my “boys” need another playmate, but
I am just not ready yet. I have
told my husband that I am keeping an
eye on your sight, as I have done
for the last 4 years, and when that
little face or even retired face
grabs my heart, I will be giving you
a call!
Thanks for you time, your wonderful
website and the purrrfect little
Cielo that we could not live
without! His road races and his
favorite hobby of stealing my hand
towels from the bathroom rack would
make for a dull household.
Sincerely,
Jan
Gibbons
Blue
(IP...Instant Purr)
Thanks for your
advice, I will email you some
pictures and videos of him. He is
like a little hopping teddy bear
that attacks everything. He is also
quite the jumper! He is already
getting on our counters, and likes
to watch tv from high places like
the back of the couch. We found him
asleep on a placemat on the table
once too. He is so funny. Chris has
nicknamed him IP (Instant Purr)
because when you pick him up, or he
rubs on your legs when you are
walking he just breaks out into a
loud sudden purr. He is so cute.

Cassanova
Hello Suzanne,
Show in Harrisonburg, VA. This past
Saturday was a success! Our Casanova did
well.
He was
competing against two grands however one
Judge picked him as 3rd best cat in
premiership over the others, Said he had
excellent coat , eyes, expression,
weight,etc. He maid Three finals in all,
not bad for first show in premiership.
His Main competition came from Paddy
another one of your fine gents.
Hampton and Heather have both grown up
to be big, beautiful, and Sweet cats!
Thanks for sharing! Tried to get a
decent picture, But not much
cooperation.
Regards,
Georgie
Hello Suzanne,
What a great web site you have! Not to
mention the furry beauties.
Lionel < Casanova > is handsome boy and
he is getting BIG. Saturday is his first
show in premiership, may take some time
he does not have a lot of Completion,
however he handles beautifully and does
not mind the noise excitement, etc.
After growing up we decided that he is a
spotted tabby His face needs to get
fuller and I think it will.
Regards
Georgie
Brie
Hi suzanne,
Brie is great and
has grown a lot, we are very very
happy with her, thank you because
she is the most lovable kitten.
here i am
sending you some pictures
the
relationship between the cats is
good.
Bye!
Buckley
hi suzanne- Just
wanted to give you an update on
Buckley.
He's doing great and eating like a
horse!! He loves hanging out with us
and follows us around the house.
There's never a dull moment. We love
him so much! Thanks for all your
help. I'm still giving him the eye
meds and it really seems to be
working. I will keep you updated.
Take care

Hi Dr. Henne,
Here are a couple of pictures with
Orso(cream) and Leia(blue),
expressing different types of
sibling love
J
An & Wayne
Angus and Merlin
Hello!
I hope you had a good time – and
great results – at the races!
The camera is once again
cooperating…a little bit…the
focus is still a bit off, but
what the heck! Here are a
couple of shots I took a few
hours ago. The little devils
KNOW I want to take pictures of
them, especially together, so
naturally they avoid me whenever
they see the camera.
I wish you could see them side
by side to appreciate the size
difference! We’ve renamed him
about four times, but since
Merlin the Magnificat is his
registered name, guess he’s
stuck with it. The more
appropriate names include “The
Incredible Hulk” (he really is a
hulk), “Sasquatch” (his feet are
huge), “Bigfoot”, and
“Velcro” (when he charges up the
stairs, you hear his claws
shredding the Berber every step
of the way…and fast!). I’d
guess him to be about 15 pounds
or more…Angus is 9 or 10.
I’ll try to get better photos
soon…I’d really like to get his
posterior spread out over the
back of the sofa! Steve says
he’s about three axe-handles
wide, but he’s really NOT fat.
He’s just a Brit! Looking at
the latest pix of Burton on your
website, I can see a lot of him
in Merlin. Especially that kind
of frowning expression, whereas
Angus is so round- and
wide-eyed. Burton looks like
he’s about 18-20 pounds?
Must go. Hope you had a
satisfying weekend, but were
glad to get back to all your
babies. Thanks again for
ours!!!
Suzanne
Hi, Suzanne!
I just finished looking at your
web pages -- like to to do that
occasionally to see your new babies
and everything – and I LOVE the new
look! I think I got the best laugh
I’ve had in months looking at the
big blue male on the letterhead!
That looks like one royally
ticked-off pussycat! I get such a
kick out of some of their facial
expressions.
The new photos throughout are
priceless. If anyone is even
remotely interested in adopting, and
sees them, you’ve got sales! There
is one of a blue lying on its back
in what I call the “shameless hussy”
position on the computer
desk…exactly Merlin’s favorite
pose. Guess that shows they’re
relaxed and comfortable, huh? We
also really liked the one draped
over the front of the green machine!
I hope everything and everyone
are fine at your place. 
Our
boys are a continual source of
amusement and joy. One of these
days I’ll have to get some photos
out to you – Merlin is a
horse! Angus weighs much
less than you’d think by looking,
and Merlin much more. He really
shows his bulk lying on his side, or
viewed from the rear when in the
meatloaf position. Steve says he’s
about three axe handles wide. (He
does exaggerate!) I can’t lift him
anymore, but that’s not his fault,
and in fact he prefers not being
picked up. (I think he still
associates that with being taken to
the counter and medicated.)
Anyway, the boys have been so sweet
and comforting. I swear they can
read minds, pain levels, or
something. The days I have to be in
bed, I’ve always got company…but
they somehow know when I can’t stand
having them lie on me. Depending on
the severity, they cuddle into the
circle of an arm, against my side or
legs, or just near my feet…sometimes
draping a paw over me somewhere.
I’d swear they’re trying to soothe
me. What would life be like without
these little people sharing it? I
don’t ever want to find out.
So…thanks for sharing all the
little darlings on your web pages,
and especially, of course, for our
Merlin Magnificat.
Fondly,
Suzanne & Steve,
Angus & Merlin

Birthday Boy!
Celebrating with
sister Poodie
Post-party rest
with Poodie and brother Harley
Jasper
Here are some
pictures of Jasper when we first got him
in July.
He
still has a lot of energy, very
playful. At night and in the
mornings he likes to run what I
would refer to as “sprints.” He
runs from one end of the house to
the other several times with no
intended purpose. It’s pretty
funny. He’s starting to get really
big and has a ton of strength! His
favorite thing is to have his foot
pads rubbed. Everyone loves him!

Daphne
Good morning. I wanted to send you
some pics of my girl. She is
beautiful.
She has become very vocal, and very
demanding. She is adjusting to life
with 2 dogs well. (I adopted another
Cocker Spaniel, 2 weeks ago). My
husband calls our house 'The Zoo'.
Daphne is very loving, we are so
happy to have her in our 'Zoo'. She
has put on alot of weight, and is
not nearly shedding as much. The
second pic is not great, but it
shows her on the bed with the dog,
just like she belongs!
Thank you for entrusting her to us.

CHASE
.JPG)
Hi Suzanne
It was good to see you too. Chase is
wonderful. Simon growled and hissed at
him for the first 3 days but it didn't
seem to bother him too much. Simon is
better now but still won't play with
Chase. Chase is a mess. He sneaks up
behind Simon and reaches out and touches
him and then runs and hides. Simon acts
like he doesn't know who it was, he
looks around and Chase is gone. It's so
funny. Chase is eating good and he
hasn't had any problems at all. Thanks
again for this wonderful baby. I will
write back and keep you updated.

SEPTEMBER
Bell and Smokie
Hi Suzanne
Hope you are good
today. Bill and I are enjoying the
kittens!! Bella is "the queen"
eats like a pig. She is three weeks
older than Smokie, but quite a bit
larger. Is this normal?
I thought he
would be out-growing her by now. He
is a true sweetheart, loves early
morning time, head butts, chin and
belly rubs. He's not a picky eater,
much more of a
little lick,
small bites type guy. I'll keep you
posted. Hope all is well.
Virginia
Brie
Well, the
venezuelan experiences have been a
lot jajajajaja.
everything is
progressing but we are still having
some problems with our other cat, he
is a himalayan, male 8 years old, he
looks calm but brie is very tense
and scared of him, we´ve been
kepping them separated, and when we
get them together we are around. I
think it is just a matter of time
till they get along very well.
We still don´t
let her out in the garden because we
are scared she will run away (it´s
not thet easy but our other cat has
done it many times), when we let her
out we are with her.
Today she was
sleeping more than normal, she was
kind of weird but i think it could
be a late reaction to the climate
change.
she is eating
and going to the bathroom normally.
She loves to
be with people and is very calm and
unaggressive.
I´ll keep you
informed and will send you pictures
later because i haven´t taken yet.
Bye!!!!!!
We decided to
name her BRIE.
She's been
running all over
the house and
playing with us
a lot, she is so
cute, not shy at
all.
We've been
paying a lot of
attention and
brie just loves
it.
She is also a
fast learner,
she already
knows she can't
go upstairs.
We were kind of
worried because
she wouldn't
eat, not canned
food, not dried
food, but this
morning she went
into her cage
that was open
and started
eating the food
that you had put
inside, which is
the name of that
food?
She's been
sneezing ,
should that
concern us?
I will send you
pictures when I
get to caracas.

Faith
Here are some pictures of Faith that I
took today. As you she is very
comfortable here.
It's
hard to get pictures because everytime I
get up to get the camera, she jumps down
and follows me. She is just a doll.
Thanks for all your help.

Monte
Monte weighs just
a shade over 9 lbs and sounds like
a horse when running through the
house. He is a beautiful cat and
full of love.
Big
Boy----almost 11 months! Monty has been
a joy....so full of love and eager to
please. He comes much like a dog when
called and certainly knows the word NO
and what it means....

Henne,

Thank you!!!

Snapped a few

Mary
Max
Hi Suzanne,
Max is now 4 lbs.
12.5 oz., (just a bit over 4 mos.
old) so growing well, I guess his
indulging in the adult cat food more
than the kitten food isn't hurting.
He and Newman are
finally friends, it is fun to
finally see them play together. Max
thinks Newmans bushy tail is a great
new toy.....Max is always trying to
snuggle up to Newman, I think he
misses his siblings. I am really
happy that Newman has taken to the
little speed demon so well.
Have enclosed a
few pictures so you can see his
progress, he is still loving and
very playful.
Do you
think his coat is going to be
spotted like his picture?
Thank you for my
precious little gift.
Diane
Hi Suzanne,
Max and
Newman are finally becoming friends,
they have started playing
together....Max really likes playing
with Newman's big fluffy tail. He
is totally at home now, even got
himself locked in the coat closet
for about 2 hrs. yesterday....he
wasn't out playing and had to start
the hunt for him.....he just looked
at me when I opened the door "it's
about time you found me". He loves
the outdoors, playing with the
leaves and trying to catch the bugs!
He is as cute as
can be, just love him so much. He
now uses the big boy litter box, and
occasionally chows down on Newman's
food...I guess it won't hurt
him....he just has to chew a
little harder. I will let you know
what the vet. says and how much he
has gained....will send you some
pictures this weekend...you know
kittens, they end up in some funny
places!

Hermione
Sorry about the
delay in response. Hermione is doing
well, we love her so much. Every
morning when my husband showers she
greets him the bathroom. She and my
shih tzu are doing well. My shih tzu
just tolerates her. With this breed
of cat, is it normal to have
drainage from the eyes? I clean her
eyes everyday with some warm water.
I notice she drains more from the
left eye. When will her eyes turn
copper? Will they be that color all
the time? Is her breed a relative of
the Persian? Just asking b/c this is
what my vet said???
Everyone is so
surprised about her soft coat. She
always purrs in the morning. She
has just recently started purring
for me when I rub her stomach.
Again, we love her so much.
Thanks, Stephanie

Do you think she

Alecia
Maggie
Hello
Suzanne,
Maggie has been
doing well-- she has put on a nice
amount of weight and her fur has
been growing in densely.
We've been
trying to find a cat treat for her
and have tried "Pounce", but she
does not like that brand whatsoever.
Is there
a particular brand that she might
prefer? Right now she's overly fond
of "Petromalt" for hairballs (she
comes sprinting when she sees the
tube), but that's not quite a treat.
Also, has Maggie ever been sensitive
to certain foods? She has recently
succeeded in commandeering some
cream that was meant for tea, and
seemed to have some lower digestive
problems. I'm aware
that most
cats
are lactose intolerant, but this
seemed a bit different.
Here are several
links to new pictures of her-- I'm
sure you'll agree that she is
getting prettier every week!
Brie
Suzanne:
We decided to name her
BRIE.
She's been running all over the
house and playing with us a lot, she
is so cute, not shy at all.
We've been paying a lot of
attention and brie just loves it.
She is also a fast learner, she
already knows she can't go upstairs.
We were kind of worried because
she wouldn't eat, not canned food,
not dried food, but this morning she
went into her cage that was open and
started eating the food that you had
put inside, which is the name of
that food?
She's been sneezing , should that
concern us?
I will send you pictures when I
get to caracas.
Thank you for everything

Brooklyn.JPG)
Brooklyn is
wonderful!!! He traveled without
any problems we talked to him most
of the way until he got bored
hearing us and went to sleep. It
took us 7 hours because of the
weather. You were right he needed
no quiet room. He was busy
exploring and wanting attention from
the time we got home. We went to
our vet yesterday to introduce
Brooklyn to them and she was very
impressed with your procedures and
paper work. She also said that this
was unusual with her past experience
with cat breeders. We just can't
thank you enough for such a
wonderful cat and experience. We
love him dearly.
We will be getting
you some pictures soon.
Thanks again, Donna

Tipu Sultan Khan
Hi
Suzanne,
How are you? Tipu is doing
fine although I wanted to
ask you how much should he
be eating in a day I want to
make sure he is eating
enough. How fast does he
grow as far as weight and
stuff. Is it normal for him
to sleep a whole lot?
I am also sending you a
picture.
bye
shehbaz
How are you. We are
well and so is Tipu.
His full name is Tipu
Sultan Khan and is doing
very well. He was very
friendly but not to
active when he first
came but last couple of
days he has been jumping
off the walls. I mean
he is very energetic and
playful.
Oh yeah and he misses
you...
WOODROW (WOODY)
Here's Woodrow draped over the front of

cute.

FAITH
Hi Suzanne,
I just wanted to send you a quick e-mail
to let you know that Faith is just
getting more gorgeous each week. Her
colors are getting more vivid and her
face is just precious.
I want to let her get a few months older
before I send you any pictures. I do
plan on keeping you updated on her
because I know she is just going to be a
beautiful cat.
Thanks again,
Diana
Oh, I was wondering...how old should
kittens be before starting to use Shed
Stop?
I wasn't sure when she would start
getting her adult coat and shedding.
Thanks

Ouachita Ophelia Sue
Ophelia is
settling in well. She is a little
skittish at some of the
household noises
but is quickly overcoming that. Last
night she found
the toy basket
and by the time she was done it looked
like I had
fifteen toddlers
running around the house. She had toys
scattered from
one end of the
house to another. I was almost in tears
laughing as she
.JPG)
would get one
toy and then pick another and then try
to get both of
them and then
remember there were more and go back.
She and Kitty Kate
are already
becoming fast buddies. They play race
kitty several times
a day. Right
now Ophelia is attempting to climb a
fake ficus tree.
Thump....she
just figured out that it will not
support her weight. She
is now hiding
amidst the leaves after she turned it
over.
Kiki
and Zoey
Hi Suzanne!
Thought I'd send you a couple more
pictures of KiKi, (calico), & Zoey,
(blue). They are growing up to be
gorgeous cats. KiKi weighed in at 9
lbs. at her checkup a few weeks ago,
& I'm sure Zoey isn't far behind,
(but she's not due to see the vet
again until December) 
I forgot to compliment you in my
last letter on your redesigned
site. I enjoy seeing "our girls"
featured on some of your pages. We
did have to put one of our bulldogs
down last April, (Molly the one on
the right), but that picture still
brings a smile to our faces - seeing
them all pose together! I still
can't believe we actually got them
to sit still long enough to do
that! I also especially like the
testimonials that include your
original pictures, (as tiny
kittens), along with the new
owner's recent ones, so thought I'd
include KiKi & Zoey's baby pictures
too. (I'm sending 4 pictures in
all) It's amazing to see how they
change in a few months! .JPG)
I was really excited to see you've
included a silver tabby in your
breeding program. Robocats has some
wonderful looking cats. Their
markings are gorgeous. Are you
planning on getting a female also?
When I first started looking for
a British kitten, I was hoping to
get a silver tabby. If you do start
breeding them, I may be tempted to
add another Ouachita kitten to the
family!
Take care & I'll continue to keep
you updated on the girls!

Maggie
Hello Suzanne,
I just wanted to
give you a short update on Maggie.
She's been doing very well and I
would say she likes her new home. We
have found that Brit Shorthairs are
indeed very easy to train: she will
not go on the same "forbidden"
surfaces (like the stove!) twice and
behaves wonderfully. She also likes
to talk when she wants to play and
grumbles if she can't capture the
toy she's stalking.
We have received
the packet you sent (that was
fast!). We'll send you more pictures
of her in a few weeks.
Thanks!

Leda arrived at my

the corner of the room. She is so cute.
I am pleased.
Thank you!

April
Hi Dr. Henne,
We just wanted to give you an update on
April and of course show you her cute
new photos (taken today!). She is a
pleasure! When we get home she meets us
at the door and will follow us around
the apartment until she feels we have
given her an adequate amount of
attention-- which of course we are happy
to do!! She loves sitting on our desk
chairs or by the window watching all the
birds (we have a lot of trees outside
our window!). We have her on an indoor
cat dry food (science diet) and she has
kept a great weight - and we just keep
her daily amount of food out all day and
let her munch! She seems to like that.
And although she has a water bowl by her
food, we realized she much prefers to
drink her water out of this huge metal
bowl (one of my old mixing bowls) we had
used one weekend that we were away! So
now we leave both water bowls out - just
in case! We really love her and could
not have asked for a better friend!!
Thanks again for all your help with her!
We will keep you updated!!

Ozzy
and Charlie
Dear Suzanne,
Here are pictures
of the boys. We are really enjoying
them.
They went to
the vet today to get a shot. She
also trimmed their claws. So now I
know how to do it. Charlie is so
laid back that he did not even meow
for his shot. All of the staff kept
saying that they are beautiful.
We are so glad we
got two.
They are
happy to have each other. 
It is
great fun to watch them as
playmates. They run around and
wrestle each other and chase each
other. The kids just love them and
to play with them. They sleep
together alot too.

Very cute.
They are truely wonderful pets and
everything you said they would be.
Regards!
Piper
and Cessna
Hello, Suzanne.
I'm sorry I haven't written sooner about
Piper and Cessna, the sisters we bought
from you back in December 2006. I wanted
to update you on how they are doing.
First of all, they have adjusted to our
family very, very well. They
are so sweet and gentle. Cessna is
definitely more adventuresome.
We intended for them both to be indoor
cats, and they are, but Cessna has a
yearning to go outside with the dogs.
She goes out with them
every morning, does her "business" and
then comes back in with them.
I think that she thinks she is a dog! It
is so funny. She doesn't want to go
outside unless her buddies are out
there, and when they come in, she comes
in. She has grown to be a wonderful cat,
and even
though she was the runt, she has really
come into her own size-wise.
She tends to be more aloof, but not to
the point of timidness or
unfriendliness.
Piper is my sweetheart. She follows me
where every I go in the house and keeps
me company when I do laundry. She curls
up in my lap daily when I finally have
10 minutes to sit and read.
When I get a chance and find my digital
camera, I will be sure to e- mail them
to you. Cats, I am finding, are not easy
to photograph, but just so you know -
they both look wonderful!
Thank you, Suzanne. We are grateful to
