Kittens Update!

Fudge's beautiful kittens (from the previous post) have almost all found loving new homes now. There are just two remaining, both are female chocolate shaded burmillas with burmese colour restriction. They were booked and ready to go to new homes but as often happens people say one thing and do another and so they are still here with us. They're happily enjoying the extra time playing with their mum and enjoying the lovely sunshine (however uncharacteristic for this time of year in Ireland) in the outside cattery.



They may not look much like kittens anymore but they certainly still act like it. It all gets too much for their mum sometimes. She likes to take it easy and sleep and all they want to do is play chase the tail!



Hopefully we'll find suitable loving homes for them in the coming weeks.

We had more good news at the beginning of August. Our girl Wispa, who is Fudge's grand-daughter by Eddie, had her first litter to our new boy Magnus. Wispa is a full expression chocolate ticked tabby, like her dad. Unlike Eddie, we don't think Wispa carries the burmese colour restriction (BCR) gene so her kittens by Magnus are all full expression colours. There were 4 kittens in the litter but two of them were very small and sadly didn't survive. The two remaining kittens (a boy and a girl) are stunning! Wispa likes to keep a close eye on them.



The boy is a full expression lilac asian boy and the girl is a beautiful chocolate shaded non-silver burmilla. Her markings are really beautiful and her coat is nice and short, only revealing the pale undercoat when she moves.



They like nothing more than playing with their mum...



....until it all becomes too much and they fall asleep in the afternoon sunshine.
