Once again Mindy & Bob of Meisterhaus came through for me. I wanted a blue tabby and white Wegie desperately. When Mindy called me up to say that Talia was mine if I wanted her I was overjoyed. Talia is Shira's niece and shares her sweet and calm nature. Since we've had her, she has hardly stopped purring. Every morning she comes in to wake me up with purring and head butts. Talia has also been an absolute delight to show -- posing and purring for the judges like the little beauty queen she is. Visit the Show News page to see Talia's show awards. Talia is the mom of Litter #2 (The Companions), Litter #4 (The Travelers), Litter #6 (The Heritage Litter), Litter #9 (the New Companions) Litter #12 (the Montana Kids), Litter #17 (the Mallorean Babies), and Litter #18 (WOT II). Once her babies are big enough you can see her romping through the house playing with them like she's a kitten herself.

I really liked Alliandre's look from Bria and Peanut's first litter, so when I made plans to breed Bria with Peanut again I told her that I wanted another beautiful silver patch tabby and white like Ali -- only I wanted her to be more outgoing than Ali. So when the Little Lions were born, I was very happy to see Kefira and yes, she's turned out to be social, playful, and quite the little princess. Even her Ken-dad seems to like her (although he calls her "Snaggle" -- after Snaggle Puss because she loves caves just like him.) I'm thrilled I get to keep her and that one day she'll be having kittens to carry on Bria's and Peanut's lines. Kefira is mom to The Leprechauns - Litter 15 and the Winter Gifts - Litter 19. Also, visit the Show News page to see how Kefira is doing in the show ring.

Kali is one of our Montana Kids. I love her intense red and beautiful classic pattern. And besides being a lovely cat, she has a great personality. She is sorta like the cute, ditzy, talkative teenage girl we all knew in school. Our pet sitter refers to her as "the skinny, friendly one." You just can't help smiling when she's around. Kali loves to play with the little red fairy (the laser pointer), feather teasers, and her favorite remnants of a fishing feather. Yes, I meant remnants. There is no feather on the end, but that doesn't stop Kali from dragging it around the house so we'll play with her. Her other favorite toys are her spoons (baby spoons she's claimed for her own) and any other thing that might have served up food. Plus, she's seriously boy crazy - a good thing in a breeding female, I suppose. Her favorite companions are Dilan, Zeke and Peanut. Kali outdid herself with her first litter, the Belgariad Babies (Litter #16).

Fin is the last son of Shira and Peanut - and almost a carbon copy of his daddy. I'd been hoping for a girl to keep out of Shira, but when that didn't happen I decided to watch how Fin developed. When he came along as wonderfully as I suspected he would, I decided to keep him to replace both his Shira-mom and Peanut-dad in my breeding program. Fin is a very spoiled only child and is often referred to as the "brat cat" at our house. He loves to play, play, play with anything and anyone that moves, although his favorite toys are crinkle balls. Uncle Zekie is his favorite and I'm sure that Zeke is looking forward to the day that Fin isn't such a wild child. Fin also loves to play with the kittens. I'm hoping to show Fin in the next year or so, so check out his results on the Show News page. Fin is father to the WOT II kittens (litter 18).

Brenda and I had been talking for the past year about getting another boy -- a complete outcross to be the boyfriend of any LostWoods girls I might want to keep around. I was thinking about a black and white boy and had talked to a few people about kittens, it just hadn't worked out. Tracy McCullough of Norlights had a couple of litter of kittens and the "M" litter had a cute little black and white boy. Brenda went to visit and took pictures of all the kittens. So much for the black and white -- we fell in love with McCoy. I guess we have a weakness for red and white boys! McCoy has an excellent pedigree -- the complete outcross I needed with some outstanding cats among his ancestors. He's a good sized boy with nice type and a great personality. Brenda and her son Grant will be showing McCoy (see the Show News page for his results) and I can't wait to see the kittens he'll make in the years to come. Thank you, Tracy!

I never kept one of Peanut and Talia's babies for breeding, even though they produced some gorgeous kittens. I guess in the back of my head I thought I could always get one of their grandchildren, since several of the kittens had gone to breeders. Then those kittens started retiring from breeding and I wasn't really in a position to take a kitten or it didn't fit with my breeding plans at the time. But one day Patti Harriman sent me some pictures of a couple female kittens. She was thinking of keeping one and wanted my opinion. I fell in love with the beautiful patch tabby and white girl! Don't get me wrong -- both girls were very nice, but something about this one was calling my name. "Does she have a home?" I asked. When the answer was no, I asked for a day to figure out a plan, then contacted my friend Sondra Evans of Rockatts. Sondra and her husband Brian agreed to let Danica live with them and now this beautiful girl is part of the LostWoods and Rockatts family. Thank you, Patti, for letting us have Fiala's little girl.

Basia's story began about two years ago when a family in Estes Park decided to cancel the contract they had on Torianna. My pathetic little homeless girl needed a home. I didn't really know Jim and Donna Armel then -- just what I knew from reading their posts and second hand from mutual friends. What I did know was that they liked to show their cats, they had a handsome male cat that I admired a lot, and most of all, they very much loved their fur kids. So an agreement was forged that sent Tori to ForestKatz and gave me the opportunity to later get a kitten back under the same terms if I wanted. I admit it -- I thought my little girl and that handsome boy were going to make magic together and I wanted a bit of that magic for myself. Well, magic it was indeed when Tori and Guri had their babies last year. But the only surviving kittens were boys and I had my heart set on a girl with the same personality and attitude of Tori and her mama Shira, the Queen of Everything. So I said I'd wait. The waiting was worth every second! The moment I saw Basia's pictures I knew she was the girl for me. Nothing I heard or saw in the next three months changed my mind. Now that I have her here with me, I couldn't be more happy. She's beautiful inside and out. She's very brave, running over to every cat she sees, tail in the air and motor going. She head butts them and rubs against them. If they dare to hiss, she looks them right in the eye and gives them a hiss and a growl right back. "You can't push me around!" Then she bounces off to explore something else. Huge thanks to Jim and Donna for this beautiful, sweet, funny, and spunky girl. She is everything I hoped for in our Queen of Everything in Training.

(Please note that you will see a number of photos of our cats and kittens that I've taken outside in a natural setting. The LostWoods cats do NOT go outside unsupervised! When we do go outside for pictures and occasional adventures, there is always one person and usually two watching them closely. We do have an outside, fully enclosed run to which the older cats are allowed access, but even then we check on them often.)
