Brittany and Opie... |
Brittany's little seal and white bicolor boy born on 1/16 is going to be that "FOREVER KITTEN"... literally. Both physically and in personality.
|
Brittany is a pretty little calico girl. We had intended to show her, but Brittany was one of those "tom girls" as a youngster. She was convinced she was unbreakable and could swing from the chandeliers. She was in one of her "fly through the air" moods one day and as she leaped from the top of one of our tall bookshelves, a bookend followed her down and fell on her back leg which broke her leg. The vet put the leg in a soft cast for 8 weeks but unfortunately, her back legs are not as perfectly straight as they were before the accident. Straight legs is a BIG deal in the show halls. We may still decide to show her someday, but we had to give up on expecting the big finals. Until then, we've let her have babies, which she LOVES, LOVES, LOVES! She is a terrific mom!

Maverick at 3 mo. |
Little Mav was FINALLY big enough to go to the vet to be neutered last week. This vet requires the kittens to be a minimum of 2 lb and not an ounce under to do the surgery. We had to postpone the surgery because he just wasn't big enough to go in. He finally crossed that 2 lb mark.

Maverick looks like a little kitten. In fact, he's been playing with Charlotte's babies that were born 3 weeks later than he was, although Maverick has been all over the house for over a month now. For being as small as he is, he definitely has a mind of his own. He really thinks he's in charge. Oh, and he's spoiled rotten... his choice, not necessarily ours. As small as he is, Maverick is going to grow up to be a "mini-curl". He doesn't know he's little. I suppose he never will, but it's really part of his charm.

Reserving a kitten from a future litter...
We are taking reservations for future kittens now. We reserve the right for first pick of any of our litters for ourselves to show, however, if you reserve a kitten from a future litter, you will have first pick (after us of course). I keep track of the sequence that I receive Reserved Kitten Agreements and offer kittens in that same sequence.... in other words, the person who has returned the first Reserve Agreement will have first pick of any new litters. After that, the 2nd person who has returned a Reserve Agreement can select a kitten, and so on. Anyone with a Reserve Agreement can wait for another litter if they want to wait for a kitten from another litter if they want, and the same sequence for selecting a specific kitten will still apply.
