A few pictures /14.9.

Saga and Roope love spending time together... The battling duo's are often Roope & Lulu and Saga & Iines.

Iines is still full of speed... and constantly trying to outsmart Saga and then become the queen of the house ;-)

Lulu and Iines in the balcony.

Uuups... 4438g..

I have to wonder if the scale has gone mad or something... (I know I shouldn't weight Saga EVERY day but... ;-)) but according to that she gotten 250 g since her date with Häjy... And it was less than 2 weeks ago!

I also weighted Iines to see if her weight was the same and it was.

Well, I guess I just have to wait and see what happens. I hope that there will ne a nice amount of kittens, maybe 4-5..

By the way, I finally got Iines to eat meat :-) She just wants me to cut the meat into tiny pieces and she will eat the pieces from my hand. I sure hope that she will continue to eat meat... those cans etc. are driving me mad.

Saga's weight

I weighted Saga first thing in the morning and the scale stopped at 4356 g. She has gained about 160 g in 10 days. BUT I'm not getting my hopes up just yet.. She is a master in eating and that doesn't really say much about her being or not being pregnant.

She did lose some weight in the summer, so maybe she is just getting in her normal condition. After the kittens were 12 weeks she weighted 4,2 and soon got up to 4,7. Her weight has been around 4,5 kg so it's now lower than normally.

Too bad that my scale only measures up to 5kg, so I can't weight her much longer with it.

New pictures

Roope has quite a coat :-)

Lulu's tail looks a bit odd for a red cat..

Iines wasn't in the mood for pictures today ;-)

Saga is acting weird again ;-)

Saga is sure that she is pregnant ;-) (well, she always is, even if her date was Roope) and she is eating much more than before and foods that she never eats. I've told her that it's too soon to tell ;-) but I don't think she feels the same way.

Saga weighted 4,2 kg after Häjy left, she had actually gained a little weight within these last weeks. In the summer she only weighted around 4 kg and had lost over 500 g since winter. Last time that she mated with Igor she weighted around 4 kg and her weight actually dropped about 200 g before it came up again. She gained almost 2 kg during the pregnancy and had 4 kittens. I sure hope that she doesn't gain more weight even if there were more kittens ;-)

(the pictures above were taken 14.8.06, 4 days before India- litter was born :-))

Iines and her new place to sleep :-)

Iines just loves the little stool that I usually take with me to the shows. Now it has been out the whole week so that I would forget to take it to Tampere with me. Iines spends her evenings sleeping in it :-) She is the only one who can use it, if the others to try jump there, the stool collapses ;-)

Pirok's show 1.9.2007

First of all; BIG congratulations to Saga's children!! Abeona's Sharma and Abeona's Kalinda both got their Champion titel today :-) Saga would be so proud, but she has other things on her mind right now... like the fact that Häjy has gone home and Saga is desperately trying to get Roope to "help" her ;-)

Iines had her last show in class 12 today. She was judged by Jörgen Frithiof and had one competitor. Iines was EX1 out of 2 females and competed against a younger male in the BIV. She was chosen as BIV and later nominated!

The judge liked her alot, but commented that she has no coat - and would look fabulous with a nice coat. I'm hoping that she will get some coat soon...

No votes in the panel, but I'm more than pleased :-)
