Lion-O did it again! He has a guest in his room, our siamese variant girl Lina. Two minutes after Lina came to his room, the first mating was a reality! They have mated several times today and we hope for a litter of beautiful balinese kittens. Since Lina is a variant, they could get both balinese and siamese variants. But of course we hope for balineses! In our earlier litters between a longhair and a variant, we have been very lucky, the first one of 4 kittens 3 was balineses and 1 a variant. The next litter of 7 kittens 5 was balinese and 2 variants. The third litter of 4 kittens, 2 died before we was sure of the coat, the 2 kittens who survived was both variants. The fourth litter of 3 kittens all 3 kittens was balinese! Lina was 1 year on the 16th of May, and she has not had any problems with her uterus or her fertility and we know that Lion-O can do a great job as a breeding male since Freja already has a quite nice belly    So chances are quite high that these matings will lead to a litter of rather nice kittens with a super pedigree! If these matings are a success, the kittens are due in week 29/30.

Yesterday we visited Jagara and her fostermum to check out Jagara and to find out if she was pregnant. Her nipples was not very pink, but they have grown a bit. Her belly was quite hard and a bit larger than normal. She eats a lot more than she used to do, and she do not play any longer. So chances are very high that she is pregnant! If she is, her litter is expected in week 26 -  at the end of June   

Freja is doing well, her tummy is bigger and more rounded than it use to be and we know that there is at least 3 kittens in it! Her kittens will be born in week 24  

So we are taking some chances now, since we still have not got the results of the TF-testes.......
