Testimonies 2009 - November
AMELIE
Hello Suzanne,
Amelie is doing great!! She
seems very comfortable and
confident stomping around the
house. So friendly, and
sometimes naughty. We can't
believe how fast she is growing.
She was so dainty when she
arrived and now she seems to get
bigger every time we look at
her.
She
is growing more and more
independent too. I've attached a
photo. She likes to squeeze in
between the cushions of the sofa
and fall asleep sometimes, often
using the remote control as a
pillow. Yes, she get very
possessive of the remote
control. Hmmm.

Suzanne,
I just wanted to send you an email to
let you know that kitty has arrived in
San Francisco safe and sound. When we
brought her home and let her out of the
carrier, she began exploring, playing
and flirting immediately. You would have
never known that she had been on an
airplane for six hours. I think she was
very comfortable on her fluffy little
cushion.
She is, without a doubt, the cutest
kitten I have ever seen. Akiko and I are
happy beyond words, and we are
absolutely in love with this little
lady. We had so much fun playing with
her today that my cheeks still hurt from
smiling and laughing so much. We are
amazed though, that she didn't make a
sound the entire time. She is so quite,
that we a thinking about putting a bell
on her.
We did have a couple of questions about
the "Scratch Pedigree" you sent earlier
this week. We were wondering if you
would mind making a couple of changes
and sending a new one? Under "Sex:" it
says "Male". Could you change to
"Female"? Also change/add "Blue" to
"Coat Color:", and "British Blue
Shorthair" to "Breed:"? Also could you
let me know a little more about this CFA
Registration thing?
Thank you so much for making our British
Blue dream come true!
Adam
Hope you had a wonderful visit with
family, we did.
We got the package today and it's
so exciting to get all this and know
he'll be here soon.
We are ready for him, toys, food,
cat post, tunnel and bed. Charles is
out in the garage right now adding a
little something for his scratching
post. We have two huge cat trees for
Tucker, one in the living room and
one in our bedroom. After Tucker
gets use to Tipper, we are hoping
that he will share one of his trees
or both. ha ha I am waiting to
measure Tipper to buy his "Come go
with me harness" from Drs. Foster &
Smith. Tucker has gotten use to his
and I want to start Tipper on his as
soon as I can after he is use to us
and his new home. Every one is
waiting for pictures of him. Even
people we met on our cruise that
love cats.
I passed your name around. Waiting
to hear from you as to what the next
step is. I think it would be to pay
for trip and I can do this anytime
you say. E-mail me as to when is
best time to call and do that.
Thanks again and I'll be glad (as I
know you will) to have him in our
arms.
Charles & June
WILLOW AND
RICKY
Willow arrived safe and sound last
night. She and Ricky had no problem
adjusting at all and Lucy is better this
time with her. She watches Willow from
a closer distance and only springs and
hisses when Willow gets too close.
Willow is just so unique. We love her
color and markings. I feel like we have
a wild animal in our house. She purrs
like Ricky and she certainly is noisy.
But she was quiet last night so I hope
that continues. Thanks for another
terrific cat. Who are her parents???
Linda
MADISON
Hello Suzanne ~
Just wanted to send you a picture of our
little girl, Madison. The Joy of my
life!!
To make you laugh, ...My sister found
the "perfect" toy for Madison,... a
piece of paper rolled-up into a ball...
LOL.. Madison loves it!!! She bats it
around all over the apt. until it flies
under the furniture and she can no
longer grab it! We get her a new piece
and then the game starts all over again.
Have a Great Day and enjoy the pics. :-)
Val
BAILEY AND DOOLEY
As you
can see Bailey & Dooley are best
of buddies. They get along
really well with each other.
They both love to be brushed.
One gets
shut in the bathroom or any
other room - the other stands
outside the door and chirps.
Dooley (tabby) thinks he can
open the doors by jumping up
to the door
knob and hanging on - maybe by
some chance the door will open.
If it doesn't open, then he just
keeps jumping against it (brute
force ????) until someone opens
it for him.
We've
decided that Dooley has springs
built into his legs. One minute
he's standing on the floor - the
next minute he standing up on
top of the counter or the
table.
Dooley has
learned the command "Down" and
they both know "Let's eat".
Dooley loves to play with the
toys that have feathers and a
fuzzy play mouse only lasts
about a week
before
Dooley plucks it bald. He
doesn't eat the fuzz off of the
play mouse - he just leaves the
pieces of fuzz all over the
house. Bailey likes to play
with milk jug caps and those
little
fuzzy balls. I cleaned the
kitchen the other day and found
four milk jug caps and several
little fuzzy yarn balls under
the stove.
Dooley
weighs 6.8 pounds and Bailey
weighs 5.4 pounds. The staff at
our vet's office went crazy over
both of them. We weren't sure
if we were going to get "our
boys" back to take them home.
We were
told that they are in excellent
health and that they are both
"beautiful cats". Our vet was
very impressed with the papers
we took with us - the
vaccination records, etc.
We love
them both - Bailey with his
kingly air and Dooley with
his antics. They have brought
us such enjoyment, joy and
laughter.
Thank you
so much - they are just
wonderful.
We will
send you further updates. (I
think I may have already sent
you some of these pictures - we
haven't taken any new pictures
for 2-3 weeks)

GREMLIN
AND POOF
Hi Suzanne,
haven't strangled any weasels yet <G>.
Gremlin has 6 kills and 3 "escapees" so
far. It's getting harder to tell them
apart unless they are next to each
other-- also Poof will let you lean down
and pet her but G jumps away from your
hand unless it has food in it or on it.
Jelly still growls once in a while. She
just spent 2 days in an emergency clinic
for being bowel-blocked and dehydrated.
Since she's been home Gremlin has been
glued to her hip almost all the time.
She still won't stay in bed or in the
room when the kittens come near. Vet
said possibly the kits kept her stressed
enough to limit her food or water. They
hear her in the area of the food bowls
and they run to see what she's doing and
she leaves. We're keeping them away when
she eats and she's doing OK so far. She
brings a mouse into the livingroom while
growling and drops it in front of the
kits. Poof usually just watches, then
smells the places where the mouse runs.
Laura has popped up with breast cancer
last month-seems to be the type that the
doctors call very treatable. She goes in
for surgery this Thurs. We've been in
testing and consultations every other
day since it showed up. She's a nervous
wreck so the kits provide a lot of comic
relief.
Not so funny--- last month Poof followed
me into the bathroom ( like always ) and
she usually sees what I'm doing and
figures "that's a good idea" and jumps
into the litterbox. This time she jumped
into the STOOL. I managed to miss her
and picked her up and put her on the
floor. ( front legs only were wet ). I
turned around and put her on a damp
towel stretched between the garbage can
and the laundry hamper. the garbage lid
tipped a little and she did a backward
somersault into the hamper. I thought
well Ill just drop the towel on her and
dry her off. She was whirling around in
the round hamper trying to find a way
out. By the time I dropped the towel she
climbed the basket-raced across both my
thighs and one arm- and exited the room.
I was left standing with blood and pee
running down my legs-- I looked out into
the kitchen and she was playing with a
toy mouse. I cleaned up and went to bed
and she followed. She got on the
headboard and started playing with the
clock-rad!
io!
. reached up to put her down between us
and she hooked the power cord with one
claw and I ended up with a radio and a
cat on top of my head.She jumped down
and went downstairs--short night
RAFA
 WE

Lily
Hello Suzanne,
It's been a crazy few weeks here, but
Lily is doing wonderfully. She and Lucy
hit it off immediately, much to our
surprise. Lily has slipped so easily
into our lives, it's already hard to
imagine her not being here. She
definitely a curious and social cat.
She was out and about at our dinner
party last night, much to everyone's
delight. She also finally found her
meow yesterday, which has led to quite a
bit of meal time amusement. Thank you
so much for such a great kitten! Here's
a link to some pictures and a video of
her and Lucy:

Thanks again!

HARRY HOTSPUR
Suzanne,
How are you? To refresh your memory, I
bought Harry Hotspur from you about a
three years ago now and I still adore
the little (or not so little) guy. My
problem, however, is that I feel bad for
taking him away from his current
custodian, my ex-girlfriend who has
looked after him for the last year while
I was away in London for study. She's
fallen in love with him as have so many
of my friends from Europe who have only
seen pictures. Harry has become so
popular that he has his own face book
page. I've attached a picture of him for
you...He's not quite as sweet and
innocent as this picture would
indicate...he's quite a character
sometimes.
Anyway, I noticed some of the pictures
on your website include some silver
tabbies. If I were to leave Harry with
Jess, I would want another and perhaps a
striking silver tabby would be cool. Do
you have any on the way? the other idea
would be to buy her a kitten and take
Harry back but I'm not sure that would
be preferable as she really does love
him.
Anyway, please let me know on the silver
tabbies.
Best regards,
Dave
BONNIE AND
MISTI
Hey
Suzanne,
Well I got a gate and put it up so
that the cats can only get into
their room and the dogs can’t get to
the cat cookies (lol), but the cats
are doing great they aren’t really
scared of the dogs and the dogs are
great around them.
 
I
think Bonnie wants to be in the dog
pack. She has been sleeping up on
my bed with me and the dogs don’t
care. One of my labs (the youngest)
is always licking her, and when one
of the other dogs get to excited she
barks and growls at them…I guess
she’s trying to be her mother. 
Well Misty (yeah I changed her name
back) has surprised me she is coming
around to the dogs but if they try
to get into her face she will tell
them to back off which is a good
thing. 
Oh
and I just got the gate yesterday so
this is wonderful progress! Well if
you ever have a solid black or a red
like that male but a female I will
definitely be interested. I will
try to get some good pictures soon.
Thanks,
Paul
Pictures of Bonnie and
Misty w/ the dogs
Well I
went to the vet today and they totally
loved Bonnie and Meow-Meow (by-the-way I
changed Misty’s name). I think they
were the gossip of the vet’s office
today :D and they are
healthy
cats.
Hey,
Well the cats are doing great!
Today I let them explore some
rooms in my house and they love
every bit of it by chasing each
other down and playing in the
boxes I have out there. Every
time that I say Where are the
Kitty Cats to the dogs they
always run to the door and sniff
it and they are very excited and
cant wait to meet Bonnie and
Misty. Bonnie is funny she
tries to groom my hair when I am
laying down and playing with
them. But I do have some
questions when Bonnie poops she
always has some still on here
but do I remove it or we she
learn to get that off in the
future? Well got to go the are
calling for me cya and Thanks
again- Paul
BAO BAO
Suzanne,
I have attached a few pictures of
Bao Bao. She had adapted pretty well
now.
I actually have a few question. 
How much canned food does she
usually eat? Yesterday, she only ate
half at night.
Also, she hasn't been eating much
dry food, is it normal?
Thanks for everything.
Daniel
Our Kitten has arrived. She is a bit
scared right now. We have isolated
her in our guest room with the
litter box, water and food.
She looks so lovely, thank you for
everything. We'll keep in touch and
update you on her status.
Thanks again for everything.
Louie

 Hi Suzanne,
Louie celebrated his 4th
birthday earlier this month.
He's been doing great! I've
added the Oxyfresh to all of his
water bowls and he doesn't seem
to notice it at all. Hopefully
this will help to avoid another
dental cleaning next year. I've
attached some pictures. The two
of him sitting in his green
cradle were taken on his
birthday. He loves to sit in it
and watch all the action going
on outside.
He actually
gets really excited when he
hears a garbage truck!
He will run to his
perch and sit and watch until
all the garbage has been thrown
in and it has gone down the
street before he will hop down
and go back to what he was
doing!! It's really funny, but
he does it almost every week!
The other one is him sitting
with his pink baby blanket. I
bought the fabric to sew him a
pillow when he was just a
kitten, but he seems to like
laying on it and cuddling with
it just as it is. I bought him a
couple of colors, but he really
likes the pink one best!
Thanks for my little guy,
Suzanne. He just brings me so
much joy!
Best,
Stacie
TAVEY AND
FERGUS
Suzanne,
These pictures give you a better
idea of how Tavey and Fergus
have developed.
They are SO gorgeous!
