Yesterday Mischa, Doc and Joker moved to their new homes. Finn-Ove followed them to Oslo Airport Gardermoen, where their new owners came and picked them up. It was sad and quite hard to let them go, especially Joker. He has been my baby and every time I sat in my chair, Joker came and wanted to lay close to me. When he falled asleep his paws trampled on my side. I have some scars after his paws there    The house feels so quiet today, no one is running up and down the stairs, no one is calling for me to let them out. This is the first time I feel this way when a cat moves, and it´s quite sad to think about the fact that Joker will never sit on the bookshelf beside our bedroom door, talking to us and telling us to get up because he wants to be close. But we are sure we have made the right decision, the 3 cats will have good homes with their new owners. I have already got a mail from Mischas new owner, and she could tell me that Mischa was doing fine and she has used the night to check out her new home. Her new companion, Lukas, did not like the fact that he has to share his slaves with this girl, and he hissed at her. He is not impressed about this change in his life, and he just want that ugly girl out of his house! And Mischa don´t care at all    But I guess that she will give Lukas a hard time when she decides to tell him who´s in charge   

I have talked to Doc & Jokers new "mam" and she told me that Joker was very cuddly and did not want them to go out of the room. Doc is a bit more shy and today she did not need any cuddling at all. I am sure she will change her mind   

We are very happy about the cats new homes, and sure they will be spoiled, all 3. Thank you Aina & your partner, Janne & Henning for taking care of our beloved cats! May you all have a long and happy life together, with lots of fun!

The last picture I took of Joker......

Joker discovered that our young girl Puma was in heat before we did, and he mated her. The mating was the reason we discovered her heat, and now we are waiting to see if there will be any kittens. Puma is a bit young to have kittens, but we think it will be ok despite her age. If she is pregnant she will have her babies in week 14/2011. She will be 10 months then and there is no reason to think that this will be of any problem to her at all. Even one of our other girls have mated recently, not with Joker but with Vasco. Vasco has started to spray so he migth be fertile already. Time will show!
