Cattery Diary
Here we chronicle some events in our cattery. Happy news, sad news - it's all here and part of life as a cat breeder. We started this as a blog before anyone knew what a blog was. Eventually, we began posting these news items to our Facebook page only and since Feb 2008 this diary/blog has been neglected. Until now - Sep 2023. See 2023-09-16 New Website

| Sep 26, 2001 We have waited all week for our next set of kittens. The set born last week were born on day 66 which is a bit longer than usual. Since both litters have the same father we were not surprised when this litter was born on day 66 also. Today's queen was very considerate and waited to have her babies until after the humans AND the kitties had eaten their breakfast. Today's set is two and they will be either blue or lilac in color. We believe we have a boy and a girl. The parents are CH Heartbir's Xara of Golden Seal and GC Heartbir's Redeemer. Everyone is plugged in and nursing and mom seems pretty content with her arrangements. As is usual at Golden Seal, mother and kittens make their "nest" in a large, covered litter box (dedicated to this purpose, of course) which is draped to keep it quiet and dim - just the way mother likes it. Xara is free to come and go and the babies are safe and sound. |
