India - litter 10 months!

Time flies - Saga's kittens are already 10 months!
(and a little bit bigger than in this photo :-))

Greetings from Sharma

I got a picture of Sharma today. He can still fit in the sink ;-) Even though it's a bit difficult...

Lulu's daddy is now a happy(?) neuter

I got a message from Hannele the other day saying that Lulu's father Piru is now neutered. Has been for a week now, and still seems to be a bit confused what has happened ;-)

Piru got 4 litters during his fertile days and maybe when he gets in shape, we will see him in some shows.

Lulu sends greetings for daddy: actually it's not so bad being a neuter at all.. :-)

Only 10 days to go...

Finally, less than 2 weeks to my trip to Norway. I have everything ready for my new little girl and I can't wait to get her home.

We had a major thunderstorm yesterday and all the cats loved it. How odd is that? They all sat on the balcony and looked at the lightnings. Of course it's a good thing that they aren't afraid, but just a bit odd that they were so anxious to see it all.

Still no heat for Saga :-( I guess the next one won't come until the summer is over. Her last heat was in February! I have my summer vacation in August and I was hoping that the kittens would have been born then. But obviously Saga doesn't agree with me..

Grandmother of Saga & Roope: EC Firdafylkes Jorunn, DM

I must say that lady Pyret has impressed me :-) She is so calm and has such a nice temperament! I see a lot of her in my own cats, for example Saga loves to be on peoples' shoulders and they have a very similar voice..

She already turns 8 this year but is still fit and in nice condition :-)

Hyvinkää, part 2

Another good day for Jambalaia and her children ;-) And today, King Kobra didn't lose when the votes were once again even..

So HUGE congratulations for
Chaotic Sidewinder EX1(2), NOM
Chaotic Rattlesnake EX1(3), BIV, NOM (1 vote)
Chaotic King Kobra EX1, BIV, NOM, BIS

and IC Pikkumetsän Jambalaia BIS breeding female, points: 116,66667 !!

Saga was EX2 out of 3 so this wasn't her day. Her judgment however was one of the best that she has ever gotten! Lind loved her expression but what can you do, the competitor was just better :-)

Saga's grandmother Pyret got her CAP but her own daughter took the nomination. Pyret however was in the veteranclass also and was second best female out of 8. Not bad, the birman who was selected as nro 1, is a tough competitor! Congratulations for the whole Kalabalik gang for the certificates, too :-)

I'm hoping that Saga will soon have a heat. At least she got something from her ex, Suvipäivän Igor, to take home to ;-) and she can now smell that peace of cloth and think about happy thoughts.. Congatulations to Igor for his 5th CACE! And for Suvipäivän Ivor for CAGPIB and SmileTail's Night Bird for CAPIB and NOM!

Ery's catshow in Hyvinkää, part 1

I was in Hyvinkää today without cats of my own. Saga will go there on sunday but today I was just hanging around ;-) and helping Susanna to present one charming cat. Susanna's cat Pikkumetsän Jambalaia is Saga's dear competitor and 3 of Jambalaia's offsprings were present at the show -and with great results once again. Chaotic Rattlesnake was EX1(2), BIV and NOM (1 vote in the panel), Chaotic Sidewinder was EX1(2) and BIV and the one that I presented; Chaotic King Cobra was EX1, BIV and NOM. He got 2 votes in the panel, but the votes were even with a van and when judges voted again, he lost. SO close, but yet so far away... Jambalaia was still the best breeding queen with points as good as 106,6667. Maybe this will help Susanna to forget the points she could have had (110) from Tampere, but she was in Tallinn at the same time ;-)

Even though Kingi didn't won, a few forestcats did; BlackOnyx Bustopher Jones was BIS kitten and Restless Desperado BIS adult.

I also got to see a few really lovely Deimos kittens :-) Those ears are just fantastic! Kittens looked a lot like their father Vinski, who was CAP and NOM at his first neuter show.

Tomorrow I get to see Saga's grandmother Firdafylkes Jorunn again and maybe even present her, if Tina doesn't have the time :-) And also Saga's aunt, Cosse's sister Kalabalik Athena af HG, is coming. Those two lovely ladies are so charming and so beautiful! And Jorunn has the same voice than Saga ;-)
