Charlotte and Opie... |
Jackson was born on Sunday, 2/23.
|
Charlotte is a silver patched girl. We never tried to show her. Her ears curl too much for us to show, but other than that, she would have done well. Both Bellabee and Charlotte (both sisters) have super soft fur, but the 2 girls have totally different coats. Bellabee's is shorter and more plush. But Charlotte has one of those coats that's so silky soft that you just can't stop touching...

New Photos and video taken 7/4... |
Jackson was sold when he was only a few weeks old, to a person in Canada, but of Canada's restrictions on animals crossing the US/Canada border, his new owner decided wait to buy a kitten when Canada opens their borders.

I waited to put him back on the Kittens for Sale Page because I have him entered in a TICA show the end of the month. He is available to go tp a mew home anytime after July 25th. I wasn't thrilled with the lighting in the still shots that I took today so I took a couple of videos to show you more of his personality and color.
ok, I have to ask you to excuse the dirty carpet. This is in the living room. The cats sort of "own" the LR. We don't spend much time in there but the cats love it. We have a really nice tall condo in one corner with windows on 2 sides + a long front window with a sofa in front of it. It's almost impossible to EVER see the sofa without 1 or 2 kitties sleeping on the back in front of the window. We leave cardboard boxes in the middle of the room sometimes when we get a food or Amazon delivery to let them play in. They leave somewhat of a mess on the floor sometimes. I didn't want to break up Jackson's play time just to take a couple of pictures.
We have several of these ball toys around the house. The cardboard centers don't last long in them, but the cats are just as happy just playing with the ball. We have this pink one and the blue one in the living room. It's not uncommon for us to hear one of the cats playing with one of these in the middle of the night. There's a new one in Mike's office (which is the dining room) and 2 more in the family room. American Curls are very playful. They NEED TOYS! They also need their people. Curls will play with a bottle cap on a hardwood or tile floor, sometimes even carpet. They make a great hockey puck. We can toss the empty plastic wrap from around a case of bottled water on the floor and they will make a game out of it.... one on the inside and another one outside. We've even had one of the cats crawl into a plastic grocery bag to play hide and seek inside bag while I was putting the groceries away. You can be creative with things to entertain your Curl... you don't necessarily need to buy a bunch of expensive toys, but you do need to make sure they have something to entertain themselves with. Oh, and we have tons of small balls and cuddle toys all over the house. I've tried to create a "toy box" for all the toys before. It gives me a place to toss all the toys when I'm cleaning. When I do, we'll see a cat go to the toy box when they are looking for something to p0lay with. (Mike wanted me to add that we haven't taught them to put their toys up when they are done with them. That would be a nice training trick if anyone ever figures out how to teach their kitties to pick up after they are done playing.)

It was really hard to get good pictures of his face because he was so focused on the toy. It was really interesting because non of the girls took to the toy, but Jackson pounced on it as soon as we put him down for these pics.

We weighed him just before we took these photos. He weighs 1.22lb. I have him scheduled to be neutered on 6/2. I originally had him scheduled for the first part of May, but I changed the date. He's going to need the extra time to put on the weight he needs for the neuter surgery.
I have one of these toys for you when we meet for you to pick him up.

New photos taken 3/16... |
We took these new pictures on the 16th just to show how much Charlotte's babies have changed in just a week. Hope you enjoy.

First kitten photos taken 3/1...These babies have their eyes open but they are still so small that it's hard to get a decent shot of their faces. They just wanted to huddle in a pile. The difference between Colette's kitten pictures taken the same day are night and day. Colette's babies are only 1 week older, but it makes a huge difference.

New photos taken 3/7...I took a ton of pictures trying to get a decent picture of the faces of each kitten. I'm going to add a lot of them below so you can see my problem. So here's how to tell them apart: Jackson- red boy, Cheyenne - torti girl with most color on her face and more color on her body, Adriana - torti girl with streak of color on her nose and darker body color, Whitney - torti girl with 1/2 color on her face + color on her body. This will all be easier to see in a week or two.
