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

July 23, 1999 This has been a time of resettling with the four remaining kittens. One thing I always notice about cats is that by and large they do not mourn. They care for the living and move on. The four remaining kittens are growing nicely. Two of the seals are larger than the third seal and the lilac. All are nicely conformed and now that they are eating adult food more regularly should begin to gain some serious weight. The seals' markings all show clearly but we've yet to see anything on the lilac girl but nose, ears and tail. They now all climb everywhere, into all the hammocks and up and down the cage wire. Every time the door is opened a couple of kittens fall (or run) out. This will become more and more of a challenge for us as they get older, quicker and more coordinated. Next week we go for first shots and then get into the serious process of maturing. |
