AMIRA

Hi Suzanne,
 
Amira is doing absolutely great!

She loves the girls and they love her dearly. She is quite the active little girl- always running, pouncing and chasing birds from the window.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

She sleeps in her little bed right next to ours every night- she is just the sweetest thing!

 

 

 

 

 When we come home she runs to the door demanding to be pet.

 

 

 
Thank you so so much for our girl!

 
Attached are some pictures from her most recent photo shoot.

Yetie

Yetie says “Hi and happy new year”!!! 

She is doing great – fat and sassy and probably wishes she had  buddy.  I just might adopt a kitty for her.

CH Ouachita Maya Angelou w/ Elvis

 

Sorry, silly me I forgot to attach the pictures, Duh!

 

 

My babies are finally haning out on the kitty condo together.  Yea!!  They didn't even hiss at each other once.

Hi Suzanne,
 
I am happy to report that all my babies are doing much better around each other!  Maya still has moments that she hisses at Elvis and he runs and hides under my bed but they are spending time all laying on the bed together without hissing at each other.  I'm so happy, I let Maya sleep with me again last night with the other 2 cats and she did fine.
 
I have to ask, how did Ms. Maya get so spoiled, she knows she's the queen and wants everyone's attention all the time!  I'm not complaining, I can't get over what a sweet girl she is and as you said full of personality.

 

  She is so different than my male Brit, he only wants attention some times and it's on his terms and Maya is always around and wanting attention.  My whole family loves her, even my husband! What a great job you did raising her.

 
Was she able to be around other cats and room freely around them?  I was just wondering because of her personality.
 
Thanks again for a wonderful cat!!!!

GODRIC

 

Hey Suzanne hope you had a great holiday just wanted to let you know Godric is doing great he's very playful and seems to be really happy still hoping to get him a little brother so he'll also have a playmate let me know when Muddy has her babies thank you.        -Megan
 


HARRY HOTSPUR

I was just looking through some old photos, and I remembered the time that Harry tried to make a jail-break from my house.

Maybe I shouldn’t get a new little man after all!

I’m just joking. Thanks, again, Suzanne, for all your help.  I’m excited about the prospect of a new British shorthair sometime soon….

 

Best, Jessica

 

 


 

You'd get a laugh from her these days. She's very bold now, and then some! She's into everything now, and more or less hits us up when she wants to be petted. She's figured out where everyone sleeps at night, and loves to attack anything under any covers. All said, she's doing a great job of getting past the shyness. The kitchen counters are no longer safe, regardless of whether or not anyone is around to try to dissuade her from them. She's wonderful, and certainly keeps us entertained!!! I'll send you some pictures soon if she ever sits still long enough, the 20 I have so far are all blurry (she only remains still when she's asleep).
 
Eric

 

Hi Suzanne,
 
She's a bit shy, and not to anxious about being held, but I thinks she's getting more relaxed by the hour. She doesn't mind being just a few feet away from us, she just isn't so keen about being handled. She did let me pet her while she was eating last night, so I think it's just a matter of time before she's completely at ease. She managed to find her reflection in a mirror yesterday, and proceeded to fight with it for about 5 minutes. We're already getting a lot of laughs out of her. She's wonderful!
 
Best regards,
Eric

 

Hi Suzanne,
It was great meeting you too! The drive back went smoothly, we just got back about 25 minutes ago. The kitten is already moving from room to room, searching and exploring every nook and cranny. She slept for several hours on the way back, but seems to be recharged now. She's already speaking too, and Gina is thrilled! I am too, we both thank you!

will look at shipping dates this next week!  I have posted a video on my Utube account of emerson and his brother playing..  will try and figure out how to copy and paste the link!


CHURCH

 
This is Gina.  Church has been home for a couple of weeks now and has adjusted quite well.   She attacks us in our sleep and then settles down at the foot of the bed.  She has really come out of her shell.  She is quite the ornery little bugger.  Has my two old little dogs steppin and looking at me like wasn't the kid enough???  She is so cute.
 
I had a vet visit the following weekend after we picked her up.  She was not sick or anything.  I had thought about vet school and had worked at a vet office many moons ago and they just always recommended a new pet check up.  The vet did have on question.  He noticed she did not have the Feline Leukemia vaccine started.  He wanted me to ask if there was any particular reason she did not have it (like was it something related to her breed or something like that) or was it only that she had had several shots stacked on at one time and since her mom was negative it was held off?????  He wanted to start that one in Feb but not if it was not recommended for the breed.  I'm sorry does that make any sense? Sometimes what I write makes sense in my head but not so much on paper.
 
Thanks
Gina

 


 

 

 

JENNIE

That's is GREAT!  I'm not in any hurry so whenever you have the "right" kitten for me, it will be fine.  You sure did a terrific job matching Jennie with us.  She even curls up on my lap (when Charles isn't home!) with the two dogs next to me and "Tiger" our adopted stray right there with us.  We still have her confined to Charles' office - the house is to big for her to get lost so I won't let her on the floor when she is with me.  She has plenty of room to run around in what is now "Jennie's room" and no longer Charles' office!! TOOOO funny.....
 

Hi!
 
I was so shocked to see Jennie already on your website.  What a nice surprise!!!!
 
We are so crazy about her that I was wondering if you keep a waiting list for your kittens?  Yes, I want one of my own since Jennie belongs to Charles (as he keeps reminding me!!!).  Seriously, someday I would love to have a male - cream color.  If my memory is accurate, I think I saw one last year on your site.  If you ever get another one, would you please keep me in mind?  I am certainly in no hurry and wouldn't think of getting one from anyone but you. 
 
Thanks!

GAMBLE KITTEN/ MAX

Baby arrived safe and sound, purring and going potty several times in litter box. Our Russian Siberian is hissing at him with deep rumbles down deep. After introduction left baby in laundry room to rest and eat. Will re-introduce them tomorrow. He is very cute and he will have a comfortable happy indoor life.
Thanks for letting us add him to our family.
Regards
John

 

 


BENTLY

When you are almost two years old and have had a tough day of  clearing off flat surfaces

The only thing left to do is have a nap-nap with Cluseau and Mama Cujo

TIPPER

 Suzanne,  Here are the pictures of Tipper growing up.. Want to thank you again for the wonderful job you did with him. I think he must have been the pick of the litter.


 

Left the mixture of corn meal and flour for fish fry. Walked into kitchen and found that tipper had a good time with it..... I now know he gets on the kitchen counter.....
 
The only off limits our cats have are the kitchen counter and the table.  Tipper is still learning...

 


Tipper loves the water bowl. (is he part fish?)

Tucker is  establishing his alpha  male.

 

 
 
Making progress!
 
 
Love, June

TIPPER

Suzanne, I'm sorry I didn't get those pictures sent. I was looking at them and feel he's grown so much, I want to send you new one's and I'm working on that. I'll send you some next week. I'm going to attach one right now so you can see if you get it.

 Let me know and then I'll send some new ones.

JENNIE BLU

Hi!

 
Jennie is growing so FAST and is just beautiful.  She is the sweetest little baby and loves to play.  I know she is very happy because all you have to do is look at her and she starts her little motor running!
 
She has trained us very well already.  Her appetite is wonderful and she lets me know exactly what she likes and does not like.  She is definitely a Royal Canin kitten.  Do not even try to give her Science Diet because she will pick it out of her bowl.  It is so funny.  Jennie loves her Fancy Feast and gets 2 cans a day.  Her dry food is changed every morning and she always has that available to her.

 

 

Now lets talk about NutriCal and twice-daily grooming.  This is one area where she has trained me extremely well.  If she gets her NutriCal she will stand still to be combed and brushed; if not, she will have no part of it.  It only took her about a week to train me in that area. 
 
 

 

 

We love her dearly. 

 

 

 

She is bonding to Charles, which was our hope, but she sure does like her Momma (I bring the food!!!!!!) so that probably is the reason.

 
Thanks so much for such a precious little baby.  We are so pleased and she is simply adorable and so pretty.
 
Hope you enjoy the pictures - we had to send them in two groups.
 
Lovingly,
 
Sheron and Charles Haraway

 

 


 

MAGGIE AND TEDDY

Hi Suzanne,
 
The girls are doing just great. In fact Maggie is trying to help me write this email.  They both love my computer desk. 

Maggie is just adorable and sweet and Teddy is getting better all the time.  She's a little skittish but loves attention. 

They're wonderful girls.  Below are a few photos of them.

CH OUACHITA MAYA ANGELOU

Suzanne,

I couldn't resist sending you these pictures, she finally got up on the kitty condo that Elvis uses.  I did let her out and she still has issues with Elvis, she hisses at him and he runs. 

 I think he just wants to be friends with her but she doesn't want to be friends just yet. 

 When I can watch them I will let her go where she wants but at night I think I will keep them separate for now.  Thanks for your advice!

Lisa

 

 

 

Here's a picture of Maya in her new home.
 
How will I know when I can let Maya come out and start being around my other cats, she wanted to come out of the rooms that I have had her in today.  I hate keeping her locked up but I know I have to go slowly. Hope you are doing well and again, I just love Maya she is so sweet.
Thanks,
Lisa
Hey Suzanne,
 
Maya seems to be very content here.  I read that you can get things that have the smell of the other cats on them and let her smell the other cats scent so I have been doing that with her and my cats.  I'm keeping her in my bathroom so that she can smell my cats under the door and they can smell her.  I also have a walk in closet that opens from the bathroom into the closet so today I opened that so she can smell my other cats and have more areas to check out.  I hate keeping her locked up but I now realize how important a slow introduction is.  I just really didn't think Maya or my male would react as they did because Elvis (my male) is very laid back and Maya seemed to be also.
 
My kids absolutely love Maya.  I am having trouble keeping my daughter away from her so that my daughter can get ready for school.  She is such a loving cat, I am very thankful that I was able to get her and when she is able to come out and be with the other cats I know she will love it here, she already seems to be very happy.
 
Thank you so much for giving us Maya and for all of your help. 
I'll keep you updated on Maya and will send you pictures once in a while.
 
Take care and will talk to you soon!  Sorry I jumped the gun on the introduction and sorry I've been a pain.
 
Lisa

Maya is doing okay  I think I may have made a mistake when I got home.  I let Maya out in my bathroom and put all of her things in there and then I took my male Brit in to meet her and she went after him.  It was not a good meeting at all, and I'm afraid they will fight when I let her wander out on her own.  My husband said I should not let them meet each other yet because I may have made the situation worse.  I think my male is actually afraid of her because she came after him.  Do you think I made things worse and what can I do to get them to get along?

 


Bene's walking to Yell County

I had a glass bowl of chicken livers soaking in milk setting on the counter. They were covered of course. Bene found them.  BTW Bene didn't want to eat the chicken livers... he just didn't want them on the cabinet. I told you I had to put my apothecary jars in boxes and hide them when we go on day trips didn't I ?

Boy is Coleman going to get punished tonight.
Barb

OLLIE

It's warm up here too....at least on a relative basis. Feels more like March.

Ollie is definitely a beautiful boy. He's still, quite naturally, shy and cautious. He initiates contact and is an independent spirit. He is going to be great. I'm very happy.

I sometimes wish we would have gotten two he's so cute.

John

Suzanne: Ollie is doing very well; no colds, no diarrhea, eyes are good. He is adorable and receives a lot of attention these days. We love him! I sent in the papers to register and change the microchip database today. We'll try to get our act together and send some pics to post to the website. John was ready to get another kitten on day two - but we'll be waiting a VERY LONG time before that happens:-) One baby is enough for now. Thanks for the great service; you have been wonderful to work with on this deal. We'll stay in touch.

Warm regards,
Julie
