The matings done earlier this summer ended in false pregnancies, both for Faffa and Mischa. We think that Muffin was not fertile enough, and the same with Joker. Hopefully Joker will regain his fertility during this autumn, and then we hope for kittens between him and Dr. Meow.

Wen and Muffin mated about three weeks ago, and the last couple of days her stomach has grown larger. We hope for kittens in the middle of October, and healthy ones too    We do not want to have a copy of her first litter, where the kittens all died before they were 6 days old.

Yesterday we discovered that Faffa was in heat, because Muffin mated her. She has not given us any signs before the mating, so this was a big surprise! We thought that we might have to wait for some time until Faffa got in heat, because she was false pregnant and she had hormone disorders that made large lumps on  her belly. When we discovered her lumps, we thougth about cancer right away and rushed to the veterinary. He examined her thoroughly, and could reassure us that the lumps were harmless and would disappear in time.  Muffin and Faffa has mated several times yesterday and today and we cross our fingers for our first balinese-litter!

Today it is only 2 weeks until we are going to Sweden to pick up our OLH-girl   

Last Thursday I started on Pawpeds G3 internet-course. I think it will be rather nice to learn more about cats and breeding of cats, and I am looking forward to this. When I finished Pawpeds G1, I was the second categori IV-breeder in Norway and the first breeder of all breeds in northern Norway to finish this course.

After finishing a complete course, we are allowed to use the ribbons belowe

and hopefully some time before the end of 2010 I have achieved the 3rd ribbon.
