I would have gotten a better video if Mike had been with me. You can see the little fuzzy balls that he likes. We played fetch with him in the family room too but it's harder to play with just him because once the other cats see the game, they would try to grab the ball too. What's really funny is that we have lots of those small foil balls. Most of the cats love them because they can scoot them around on the floor and walk around with them in their mouths. He isn't interested in them... be he loves these little fuzzy balls. You have to watch him when you're throwing it. It you toss it too soon and he doesn't see where you tossed it, you'll have to go get it and start over. So just be sure he's watching when you throw it.
Oh, and BTW, he'll play fetch as long as you will. I guarantee you will get tired of the game long before he does. and 1 more thing. every time he brings it back to me, I pet him and praise him. I'll tell him what a good boy he is and pet him.

8/11.. I took these short videos of Zane yesterday after church to show our visitors how super sweet he is. I couldn't think of any other way to fully show how really great he is. We love this little guy, but he makes it hard not to. I ho0pe you enjoy the videos.
7/25. Zane is 4 mo old in these photos and videos. We can't say enough about this little guy. When we get our hands on him, it's hard to stop petting him because he's silky soft with this solid body. Not to mention the fact that he loves the attention so much and he lets you know it. He twists and turns, then flops on his side and stretches, grabbing our hands with his front paws to express how much he loves our attention. Zane is one of those kitties that would even convert a dog person to a cat person. We just had him neutered. All the way home from the clinic, he whined until I pulled him out of the carrier and put him in my lap as Mike was driving. He literally melted into my arms for rescuing him. Later that night, he ran into the bedroom and pounced on Mike in the middle of the night... He was just so happy to be home with us. It reminded me of Crypto in the new Superman movie. He was only away from us for a couple of hours while he was at the clinic, but he was just so happy to be home again that he could barely contain himse4lf. I hope you like the new photos and videos.
07/08... Zane is about 3&1/2 months old in the photos and video below. Zane is a super, super sweet boy. And the word 'playful' doesn't even begin to describe him. The videos below look like we sped up the film because he's moving so fast.... but not so. This is just him. Zane is now one of the 'house cats' loose in the house. We have 2 older kittens that we decided to keep as companion kitties for Mike named Leo and Scotty. Sometimes, we worry about introducing a younger kitten to the older boys because the older boys are bigger and can play to aggressively for a younger cat. Well, there was nothing to worry about with Zane. Our house is basically a large racetrack for the boys. We will just be sitting on the sofa in the family room watching TV and laugh at the cats as they jam through the room, up on a tall condo in one corner, then across the room onto the kitchen counter and back into the living room... Then, 5-10 minutes later, they are back circling the house again. Our cats are a major source of entertainment for us now that all the kids are gone. And we love it. We miss the kids, but the cats keep us entertained. Oh, and Zane is available for sale. He will fit into just about any home... kids, dogs, other cats, or in a single cat home., as long as someone will play with him, of course.
6/27... We were taking new pictures of Charlotte's babies and Zane was going absolutely crazy with all the activity. I just had to stop what we were doing to get a couple new shots of him for the website. He was running at top speed from one end of the room to the other. Zane is just SOO playful and fun.
6/20... Zane's 2 sisters went to their new home a couple days ago so he's still in our master bedroom with mom and Storm for company. Thus, we have become his playmates. All the special one on one attention he's getting from us, he's becoming even more attached to his humans. He was a real sweetie before, but even more so now. Zane is so pretty with his bright white coat and just faint cream markings on his face, and darker tail. He's going to be one of those cats that everyo9ne will take your breath away when he's older. I have a couple new photos of him and 2 short videos to show how super playful he is. I hope you enjoy them. Click on photos to enlarge them. I try to keep my videos short so they will load on your phones.

6/7... Colette's babies are really active these days. Zane and Willow (renamed by new owners) are super playful. I have a couple of videos of these two to show how playful they are. Zane is one of those special boys who responds to our voices too, We have them in the master bedroom to get them to bond with us, plus it's just safer for them at this age. They will play chase from one end of the room, into the bathroom and back again. Mom takes short walk-abouts through the house, and then back again to supervise the kids while they play. Once they've pooped out, they will usually retire to one of the condos in the big cage. For more information on Zane, either email me or call. He will have his 2nd FVRCP on 6/14. His 2 littermates are going to their new home right after that. Zane could go to his new forever home anytime after the 14th also. Here ae a few photos and videos we took this morning.

I have Zane in a couple other videos that I posted on Tammy;s page (renamed Willow by her new owner)

5/14... I took these new pics of he babies in their nursery run only because they were to cute to pass up. All 3 of Colette's babies perk up as soon as they hear us talking to them and they come over to one of the doors for us to pet them. All 3 of these babies are going to be super affectionate to their new owners. If you are interested in one of Colette's babies, please don't put off emailing me.

5/6... I really wanted to get some video so show you how affectionate these kittens are, but the babies don't always cooperate with our plans. I did get these cute still shots though. All 3 of Colette's babies rush to see us as soon as we go into the nursery to check on them. And the LOVE being petted and handled. That's really what I wanted so show you in some videos, but maybe next time.
A lot of times when we first bring the babies out of their nursery cage for photos, they are more interested in the new surroundings and smells than our toys. We try to tease them with a small toy, but we have trouble keeping them in this small space while they are investigating . You can see the dark red rings on Zane's tail already. The red gene is the slowest color to come in... a lot of the time, we won't see much of the red color until the kittens are a couple of months old so the fact that we can see this much color at this young age tells us that when Zane gets older, he's going to have a really dark red tail... the red points on his face will also come in later. There's just the faintest amount of color on his face, but not much yet. All 3 of these kittens are going to be super affectionate as they get older.
5/1... The photos below were taken on 5/1. We had just moved them to our 8ft run so they can exercise their little legs with all the extra tunnels,, shelves and small triple circled condo. They are beyond cute. This run a little cluttered, but while they are growing, this keeps them safe. It gives them lots of different places to climb up and down but close enough together so they wont's fall from one of the top levels. They snuggle in one of them, but as soon as they hear my voice, they all come out onto this triple circle condo that we had custom made just for the babies where we can rub their little backs and pick them up. They are already really affectionate/.
When the kittens are this little, we line the cage with strips of cardboard so they can't crawl through the wire cage. It's jus another one of the "safety features" we've learned to do. In the past,we've had kittens try to crawl through the cage wires to get to us for more attention and almost get stuck. Just because they can get their head trough doesn't mean they can get their shoulder through... i's just safer to stop them from trying before we have to rescue one of them.... thus, the strips of cardboard around the bottom all they way around the cage.
below is the CP boy and blue cream girl.
4/22.. Colette is taking such good care of her babies... they are starting to crawl around, but she makes it really hard to get good photos of the babies because every time we open this cage, mom thinks she comes out for our attention and approval and then goes back into this little house for the babies to curl up next to her. Colette has always had really beautiful babies. The little color point is a boy. The 2 darker kittens are both girls. The torti girl is already starting to show us some really interesting markings. The little blue cream is got such a pretty little face. We'll get some better pics in another week when they are out walking and playing with each other. I initially planned to take them into another room for these new pictures.... I'll do that next time. All 3 of these kittens are all available.
4/1.The pictures below show a little of how the colors are developing.
3/29..Below is a first photo of Colette and her babies. I try to add new photos as they grow so our visitors can see how they are developing.
