Cute, Nirv!

I bred Siamese and Balinese - moderns and intermediates mainly, a few appleheads. The Balinese were all appleheads/traditionals. I would've liked to get into breeding Balinese moderns but closed the cattery before I made that transition (went back to medical practice).

Love those cats - so intelligent and beautiful! - but doing things properly was incredibly time-consuming and expensive. A labor of love. I couldn't do it while working full time, though. The queens and kittens needed more supervision, the studs needed human contact - it's a full time job, done properly.

I had a Chinchilla Persian most recently a lovely couch ornament,

very sweet. After visiting catteries, dogs, IMO are easier to have and breed than cats I am sure

I think so. Purebred breeding cats take a lot of work to keep healthy. Part of it is the inbreeding that's ubiquitous - you can't avoid it in any purebred animals - and part seems to be that hormones, breeding, and queening are very hard on cats. When I spayed/neutered all my adults on closing the cattery they all became much easier to manage in terms of health.

The queen I have with me is able to open any lever-handled door in either direction, in spite of weighing only 7 lb. She has to jump up, balance on the handle, push it down, leap down, and push or pull the door before it re-latches. She also turns on faucets (not every day, thank goodness!) when bored. During her labors/deliveries she was always super-high maintenance - she would vocalize at every contraction, would not tolerate me leaving the room, and if she'd been able to speak English I know she would've been swearing at me! I practically had to hold her paw. But she was a fantastic mother and had gorgeous kittens.

Gorgeous pics, all!

She finally came out from under the bed and ate and shit and allowed us to pet her. She still hisses at Bootsie so we have a bed room cat and a rest of the house cat. I had to remind my self that it took two weeks for Bootsie to come out from under the bathroom sink. We have to take her to get a rabies shot and check up, that should be fun. Well here is the pic you have been dying to see.

orthodoc · 01-20-2013, 11:37 AM

She's lost no time cuddling up for human company - a good sign! Bet she'll be a sweetie.

You can see the beginnings of trust in that shot.

I see me and Omar are not the only ones hanging out on the bed on a lazy day.

Gravdigr · 01-21-2013, 05:25 PM

That's one chuckle-headed kitteh.

...could be the camera angle.

I'm posting here so I don't have to look at teh Nightmare Fuel thread which is fecking gross and now i"m sick.

DanaC · 01-25-2013, 01:59 PM

Joe, that pic of you and Omar is great. He looks like a proper Cat. Stick a white chin on him and he would look a lot like the cat we had when I was little. He was awesome. And woe betide any dog who tried to play hunt the kitteh with Mush. He was spotted at least once chasing a bad ass local German Shepherd all the way up the back street.

He looks like a proper badass.
