On 10-10-10 two beautiful male kittens of Ronja en Monty were born. Mother and sons are doing great. Photo’s will soon follow!

I’m so sorry I have to tell you that we lost all the kittens of Pippa. Last Thursday the first kitten could not breath normal any more. Instantly I went to the vet with Pippa and her kittens. I got nosedrops and the advice to feed him extra. After some hours his lungs were full of fluid and he could hardly breath. We decided to put him to sleep. The next 2 days the other 3 followed their little brother. It’s so heartbreaking to let all your kittens go, but I also know that live goes on and fortunately all other cats are healthy and not sick.

Why did they perish this quick? A possible explanation is that they got a virus (herpes?), but not enough antibodies from Pippa to prevend them from getting this sick. Pippa was never sick, she was only sneeezing a little bit after deliver the kittens. She was possible the one with the virus, in spite that she was up to date with her vaccinations.

Nature won this time and this can happen in every cattery.

Today 4 kittens of Pippa and Monty are born. This morning 7.15 AM Pippa  came to me and decided to lay down close to me under my sheets. The first kitten is born 9.35 AM, a male with a short tail and he is polydactile (6-6-5-5). The second kitten is  also a male with a long tail  is a female with and also polydactile (6-6-5-5). The third kitten is a female and has a tail just passed the hock and she is polydactile (6-6-5-5). The fourth kitten is a male with a perfect bobcat tail and straight feet.

The last months I was very busy, I had a holiday, so finally an update of my cattery. Thank you all for your patience!

Neo and Charlie are doing great! Emmy is going to be a big girl, she is very sweet and she loves to cuddle. Pippa is going to be a first time mom in about a week from our male Monty. The kittens will be born around August 10th. Pippa is all over the place looking for a place to give birth except the box I gave her to deliver in. Finally all will be fine.

Ronja has been in heat for a couple of times and I decided to bring her to Monty too. I’ll keep you posted about her developments.

Kittens 11 weeks old! The two kittens of Ronja, Mila and Emmy, are growing very fast. They are big girls. They were under evaluation, because I want to keep one of them for my breedingprogram. I decided to let Mila go, that’s why she is available for a forever loving home (not as a breeder) at May 15th. If you are interested in this beautiful girl, just contact me. She has long hair, straight feet and a bob tail. She already has been chipped, had her vaccinations and has showquality. She is very sweet and not afraid of anything.

I have received some great pictures of meneer Janssen and Floortje. Brother and sister from the first litter of Juno are two beautiful grown up cats and are great models. And they aren’t even fully grown up yet! Ineke and Arie thank you for these professional pictures. It’s good to know that these two beauties found a forever home with you both.

From today Ronja and her kittens can be followed via livecam! If you want to enjoy Ronja and her kittens, you can watch them via livecam. You can klick the button KITTEN TV in the rightcorner of the page. The kittens are growing like weeds.  You can find the weight list and growth grafics on the page Kittens/Ronja litter 1.
