Bellabee & Prince

Two babies born on 12/5/24. One is a red silver boy named Curl Essence Bells-a-Ringing ("Ringo ") and
a chocolate tabby girl named Curl Essence Liberty's Bell ("Libby."). Photos of these babies are below. Both are available.

SGC Bellabee of Curl Essence became a three show Supreme Grand Champion in TICA... actually she would have been a two show Supreme but her first show was on the last weekend of the year in April of 2019. She took a break to have her first litter. She was Best of Breed International in TICA with only two months to go in the 2019-2020 show season. Bellabee is a Chocolate Classic Torbie.

Curl Essence Prince is a chocolate silver lynx point. He is now in Singapore starting a new AC breeding program. When we showed him at his first show as a kitten, he finaled in every ring.

These babies are 5 weeks old in the slideshow below. They are active and romping all over the 2 carpeted tunnels and 3 carpeted triangles inside their 8' long cage in the nursery. They aren't eating solid food yet. Normally, the kittens will start eating solid food and start using the litter box between 5-6 weeks of age. The carpeted tunnels give the babies something to climb on to strengthen those little legs. We go in and talk to them and pick them up a couple times a day. This is really important for "socializing" the kittens. We've found over the years of breeding that handling the new kittens frequently when they are this young is critical to teaching them that their humans are their friends.
