BOOBOO AND BEAU-BEAU
Hi Suzanne,
Everything is going well and Boo is
doing fabulously! He is incredibly
cute (of course) and such a perfect
little boy!! He loves to cuddle
and doesn't mind being picked up and
hugged and kissed (just as long as we
don't get too mushy about it.....yuck,
aww, mom!).
Last night, he was sleeping in his
favorite armchair (he sits up like a
human and has one arm on the arm rest)
and was snoozing. Later on he was
laying on the seat of the chair with his
front legs sticking straight
our....looked like superman flying!
Boo is so loveable and adorable.
He loves to walk on us while we're
watching TV at night and snooze on our
chest, shoulders, legs or laps. In
the mornings, he bumps his head against
our faces to help us wake up.
After the head butt, he looks to see if
our eyes open up and purrs all the time!
He is so gentle and sweet.
The entire staff at our veterinary
clinic is in love with Boo.
Yesterday, we brought our dog in to the
vets for her annual check up but
everyone wanted to know about Boo.
His photo is even on their screen saver
montage, showing in all their examining
rooms!
Boo is a good eater and loves Blue
Buffalo (Spa Dinners) - twice a day.
He also has dry food available at all
times (Call of the Wild). Whenever he
comes over to eat, our larger (and older
by 3 months) Siberian cat,
Beau-Beau moves away from
the food dish to let Boo have full
access. Not sure what this means
in cat behavior, but they seem to get
along excellently.
 As
far as treats go, Boo tends to favor the
crunchy ones, rather than the soft.
His favorite is Feline Greenies.
When we shake the treat container, he
comes running (no matter if he's at the
opposite end of the house).
Boo and Beau-Beau play together all the time.
They have really bonded and many
times, curl up in the cat bed together
and snooze (luckily, we have a large cat
bed, that can accommodate
both). Although Boo doesn't play with
the dogs, he's not afraid
of them and often walks in front of them
or over their
paws, to get to the other side. We think he's partial to our older dog,
Teddie and often touches her nose with his (kind of a how-do-you-do
type of greeting). Boo constantly
has us laughing. One of his most
loved games is to run around his favorite armchair while being chased by Beau-Beau and then jumping up on the seat and watching the other cat run around the chair, chasing
nothing! We laugh so hard when
Beau-Beau finally figures out that there
is no Boo in front of him. Just at
that moment, Boo will jump on top of
Beau-Beau and they tumble and the chase
is on again.
We love Boo very, very much. He's
our "little man". Here's some
recent pictures (the last one is an old
shot, but so cute, we had to include
it).
Thanks for keeping in touch.

Ha ha ha ha....
Actually, the picture of the boys in the
basket is our mail basket on the kitchen
table and the shot of Boo alone in the
cream color bowl is our fruit bowl (we
had to find a new home for the fruit, so
that Boo had all possible real estate)!
We have two separate cat beds laid
out side by side (both are large size)
but Beau-Beau and Boo prefer to snooze
together. Last week, Boo was
slumped over both beds (head in one bed,
tail in the other).........kind of a cat
bridge (guess he couldn't decide which
one he liked better). We probably
will look at getting a dog bed, so that
they both can be comfortable (as they
both will be getting bigger).
Thanks.

WILBUR
I have another cat and 4 labs in the
house with Wilbur....I take out the
vaccuum cleaner and they all run except
WILBUR....he looks right at it like he
is the king...in such a short time in
the house he is ruling over the
dogs...it funny to see a 90 pound lab
refusing to walk out of a room because
Wilbur is in the hallway......Zara is
holding her own....she will not give up
the top level of any of the cat
trees....Wilbur must be on level below
and attacks Zara's tail....
We are enjoying him
Denise
Were on it......he is active and very
playful and eating just fine....
loves playing with the cat toys and is a
great soccer player...and is loving
being held and having his belly
rubbed...it took 2 days(with alot of
scratch marks on me) but he is just fine
with being touched now....I can even
brush him daily....
I'll talk to you soon and will give you
an update.........
He is doing really well.....he has only
sneezed once or twice since he has been
here......Do you think its a cold? He
really not sneezing much at
all........If you can think of anything
else let me know...and to let you know
Wilbur is a love bug...he follows us
every where in the house and meows if he
can't see us....last need he insisted on
sleeping in our bed....I keep putting
him on the floor in his bed and that did
not last....we love him here....and he
will be well cared for...And my 4
labrador are afraid of him...they will
not walk close to him....we have to
laugh because it took a 3 pound kitten
to whip the labs into shape...
I just wanted you to see that Wilbur is
doing very will with Zara (Bengal)....he
is a very active boy and has not missed
the litter pan(YEEPIEEEEE)
Wilbur arrived safe
and sound....He is looking good and
working on being held.....I trimmed him
nails and brushed him, he did fine...he
needs a bath I will do that
tonight(should be fun) he soiled himself
in the crate...I still have him in a
small quiet room with some cat trees and
he really enjoys exploring.....he meet
the bengal and did not seem to faze him
at all...she was very interested in
him....
 Suzanne,
Here's couple pics I
might have sent you before, or maybe
not...
PUMPKIN
Well we survived our first nite
together. Pumpkin slept on the bed
with me, next to my pillow. She
has had a few bites of dry food and
little bit of wet. She will not
train me like Quincy did with the wet
food all the time. I learned my
lesson, lol! She is quite the
climber and explorer and becoming very
loving as well. She just stuck her face
in my cup of tea and tried to take a
taste. She is like the energizer bunny,
keeps going and going and can jump like
a kangaroo!! Because of my work
schedule, I will hold off on
introductions until I get home from work
Monday morning. Here's hoping I
didn't make a big mistake getting a
second cat and freaking out Quincy.
She is adorable and I love her.
Jeanette
GUNTHER
Hi Suzanne
I just wanted to thank you for meeting
us Saturday and let you know that the
trip home with Gunther went extremely
well. He was a perfect traveler on the
plane. He is adjusting really well has a
very social personality and loves to run
around playing.
Attached is a picture of him on the
drive home from the airport, he was
exhausted from his big adventure.
Thanks!
Kristin
CHARLOTTE AND
AUSTIN
Hi Suzanne,
I thought you’d like to see the attached
photos since Austin is now a year old.
As you’ll see
in the first, Charlotte and Austin are
very close, so much so that she doesn’t
mind that he’s dropping his leg on her
head!
 The
second is Austin in his full glory.
I hope all is well.
Best,
Shelley
OUACHITA
DREAMGIRL
Hi Suzanne,
Dreamer, now oficially Ouachita
Dreamgirl, would like to be on your
testimonial page! I sent you a much
tamer photo.
It's been a month and Dreamer seems like
she has always been a member of the
family. Everyone who meets her loves
her, and of course, petting her soft,
plush fur. She made a visit to the vet
to get established and was the hit of
the clinic - no one had ever seen a
British Shorthair before. They even gave
me the latest edition of Cat Fancy
(Sept. 2010) and said "look what is on
the cover!" It was a BH.
She is so ready and willing to go with
the flow - whatever I am doing is fine
with her - if it's play time, great! If
it's time to watch a movie or read a
book, she is content to snuggle in. She
has a few passions in life - canned cat
food, toys with feathers, and the
chipmunk who taunts her from the patio
deck.
She is a cherished member of the family
- thanks Suzanne.
Sharon
PEBBLES
Suzanne, Thank you
Thank you Thank you Thank you! She is
the most sweetest loving kitten I have
ever seen! My father just loves her also
he took like 50 pictures as so did I.
Pebbles arrived to my front door at
10:15pm pacific time(Delta was real nice
in doing a home delivery) and now It's
1:00 and she finally getting sleepy. She
excited her carrier in about 15 seconds
after placing it in her safe room and
did not even go potty in there I could
not believe it. I then played with her
non stop for 2 1/2 hours what a bundle
of energy she loves her toys, I filled
her room with them. She has used her
litter box 2 times and has eaten her wet
foot 2 times has not had any water yet.
She has almost an instant bond with me
and we have been giving her tons off
affection..JPG)
I can't thank
you enough the joy you have brought me
today and the future in raising real
healthy(no sneezing and her eyes don't
appear watery) happy kitten. I could not
be happier she is more than I expected.

I already sent in the
CFA registration papers and will also
send in the microchip registration
papers soon. I was a very nice bonus
with the chip as I did not see it
mentioned on your site and was not
expecting it.Thanks again to yourself
and Todd for all your hard work you are
the real deal and I sincerely appreciate
it.Bravo! Greg

Suzanne,
Here's couple pics I
might have sent you before, or maybe
not...
CATRINE
We have never seen
such an affectionate kitten.
Catrine is such a lover, and is
an amazing toy afficionado..JPG)
The flight from LIT to
ATL was miserable--lots of turbulence,
and she yelled every time it got bumpy.
From ATL to DAY was better, but
half the flight crew and several
passengers insisted on handling her
after we landed, and it took me almost a
half hour to get off the plane.
In Dayton, I transferred her to a
big carrier that I had put a 9x13 baking
pan loaded with litter inside.
She peed twice on the way home; I
was grateful she held it for so long
until then.
You were right about her not
liking car rides.
She bitched for 2 hours,
caterwauling until I talked to her and
sang to her.
Then she'd shut up for about 5
minutes and start in again.
I exhausted my entire repertoire
of lullabies and church hymns.
The American shorthair
is now less timid because Catrine is
here.
Although the ASH is a little
bigger, Catrine stands up to her in
everything except "who gets the highest
platform on the tall cat tree."
Actually, with her
ball-controlling skills that would make
Pele jealous, and her lovey-snuggly
personality, she's doing a good job
making her new sister look bad.
I'll send you a photo of the
American.
There has been no hissing or
clawing.
The first day, Catrine just
arched her back a lot; now both of them
just swat, but with claws retracted.
Nobody seems too serious about
anything except the chow line, so we
feed them separately.
I know you're busy as
heck; just wanted you to know everything
is fine and we love her so dearly.
Thanks again for being
such a great kittymommy.
