We got our first litter on 2008.01.15 and since then we have had 8 litters. This litters have given us a total of 37 kittens, of which 7 are deceased of different reasons.

Of these 37 kittens

- 12 are balinese girls

- 2 are balinese boys

- 7 are siamese variant girls

- 6 are siamese variant boys

- 4 are siamese girls

- 3 are siamese boys

- 2 are oriental shorthair girls

- 1 is seychellois variant boy


These 37 kittens are in different colours

- 5 are bluecream pointed

- 4 are sealtortie pointed

- 3 are redpointed

- 2 are sealpointed

- 2 are chocolatepointed

- 2 are lilacpointed

- 2 are creampointed

- 2 are chocolatetortie pointed

- 1 is bluepointed

- 1 is lilactortie pointed

- 1 is black and white

- 1 is blue

- 4 are too young yet to tell the colour

- 7 died before they developed any colour


Downstairs in the nursery things are quite idyllic   Wen and Faffa are working together with the kittens, and they often lay down in the same box with all the kittens between them. And sometimes Faffa feeds the oldest kittens, and sometimes she feeds the smallest. And other times she has both young and old kittens on her belly, just like Wen has. They also takes turns with the kittens, one mam is with them and the other mam is sleeping at the top of one of the scratching posts.


Today we examined Kikki and Doc, and they both have pink tits   Their due-date is 4th of January 2011 and it´s a loooong time for us to wait for more kittens. But there is not only happy faces regarding this, because if everything goes well with these 2 litters, Muffin has to be neutered    And that is quite sad because he is the calmest fertile male ever, and we have no problems with him at all. He does not stress, he seldom shouts and he hasn´t sprayed in several weeks. If we was breeding siamese, he would not be neutered after 4 litters but the genepool for the longhairbreeds in Cat. IV is so small that it would be the best for the breed to only use him for these 4 litters.
