My norwegian princess truly is a princess ;-) She is so pretty and elegant, always "smiling" and never says a bad word to anyone. Polite, and trying to prevent any arguments from happening. Taking care of abandoned kittens ;-) and fellow housmates. Hoping to get her picture taken, and to be cuddled and praised :-D

She'll sleep anywhere, as long as she can sleep next to me :-) If I call her, she always answers with her nice little voice and comes running to me. What more could I wish for?

Kittens 10 weeks, photos by Pia Ojanen

I haven't been able to update my webpage over the weekend, but I'm trying to do it tonight. But here are a bunch of great pictures taken by Pia Ojanen: http://www.kawaii.1g.fi/kuvat/norleon/080113/



Thank you Pia for these lovely pictures!!

15 weeks, first day in Finland

10 months :-)

Sunna and aunt-Lulla :-)

Lulla 11 weeks...

Sunna 9,5 weeks

There is some similarity in them but still... Sunna looks a lot more like her father :-)

First vaccinations

Now the trip to the vet is over :-) Everything went very well. Kittens travelled there in their own box and Saga in another box. I thought it was best to take them separately, even though they could have travelled in one box.

The vet was really nice and loved the kittens :-) Too bad that all of them were already reserved, she would have wanted to buy one ;-)

All four acted really nice, they didn't even say anything the whole time. Not quite like their aunt Lulla who always manages to bite either me or the vet..... Saga's turn was last and she probably thought that she was in a show and judged by the vet :-D She did a couple of tricks that she always does and was oh so sweet ;-)

Kittens will have their second vaccinations on the 24th and Sunna will have her rabies vaccination on 28th.

Plans and vaccinations

Kittens will have their first vaccinations today. It will be interesting to see how they will react. Sparke's is also coming along, so I don't have to go alone with 5 cats ;-) Saga is also coming along to get vaccinations.

I updated plans yesterday :-) These plans were made a long time ago. When I was expecting Iines to come home I was already searching for a suitable male for her... I asked Laura if Kassu would be available for breeding and found out that he was moving in with his father, grandfather, uncle etc :-) so asked Päivi if Iines could meet Kassu some day.

The first time I saw Kassu was at Surok's summershow and the first time Kassu and Iines met, was in Rurok. Iines instantly fell in love with him and gave him a kiss ;-) I'm very excited about this plan, and hopefully it comes through.

Iines is going to shows in the spring and they will meet in the summer - or if that's not ok for Iines, later this year ;-) Iines hasn't had any heats yet, so there is no hurry to mate her yet.

Happy New Year 2008!

First day of the year - and all kittens have been booked. Sadly for me, less than 4 weeks and they will be on their way to their new homes. But of course it's wonderful news to their new owners :-)

Sparke is staying in Mäntsälä, so luckily I can see him often :-) He will have 2 cats to keep him company, a white semi-long haired Lissu and black/white Arttu. So goes fine with that duo, at least his colour does ;-) I'm hoping that Lissu and Arttu will soon make friends with him. Sparke is going to at least some shows.

Skadi will move to the western coast of Finland and will have three friends there :-) Skadi will come to some shows this year and in the future she will hopefully have babies, too.

Sunna was the last one that was for sale. After Christmas I got many inquiries about her, before that there was only one inquiry from Italia when the babies were very little. (Sadly for me;-)) Sunna is leaving the country and will have many forestcat-friends at her new home :-) But I'm hoping to see her in the future, after all.. it's not that far away.

Sibilja is going to live quite close and hopefully she will also be attending at least some shows :-) She has been my darling since day one, and if her family wouldn't take her, I don't know if I could sell her ;-) All kittens are adorable, but there is something special about Sibilja. There is always something happening with her, no dull moments ;-) I think that her catfriend will be quite surprised about her at first, since she is full of speed :-D
