Online Again!
We were switching phone carriers on Wednesday and lost both our phone and internet service. No blogging for me! Well, I could have entered something from work, but I was still in catch up mode from being gone. Busy, busy!
I forgot to say the Lelldorin also went to his new family last Thursday night. He, too, is settling in well — like he’s been there forever. Well, except Laura reports he “turns into a pincushion” whenever he sees their dog. LOL! Cati and Zak have been declared “adorable” and Cyra has found a new mommy and best friend at her new home. All is well with the LostWoods fur kids with their new families.
I had the pleasure of getting to see two LostWoods boys and their owners when I went to Albuquerque. Keiran and Brasen live with Beth and Jeff. Jeff picked me up on Friday night and took me to their house to see the boys and then he and Beth took me out to dinner at a yummy Italian restaurant. Brasen greeted me when I came in the house — okay maybe he was coming to greet his Jeff-dad — and tolerated me picking him up and giving him some kisses. Keiran came running when I called for “babies” — I think he still knew my voice. He’s really grown, but is still in that lanky stage. He’s going to be a stunner when he’s big. Jeff and Beth also came to the show on Saturday and Beth’s mom stopped by the show and introduced herself as Brasen and Keiran’s Grandma on Sunday. :-)
I brought Rockatts Beau of LostWoods home with me — he normally lives with Brenda’s dad in Colorado. But Beau has a bad habit of trying to escape out the door any time it opens. He knows Brenda’s dad can’t catch him, so he takes full advantage. He’s staying with me for now and will be romancing Kefira in the future. I introduced the two of them on Wednesday night and there was no hissing or growling. Kefira did feel the need to bonk him with her paw if he got too close but she didn’t hit hard or extend her claws. It was more just a gentle warning to give her some space. They spent all day yesterday together and she’s out there again today with him. When I put her in his room this morning, she chirped at him and they rubbed noses. I think they are becoming friends.
The precocious Fin boy and the promiscuous Talia had some unauthorized kitty sex right before we went to Portland. Not what I had planned for Talia!!! But babies are on the way and due around October 13th. Kali is currently in heat and she and Fin get to take turns being in the laundry room so we don’t have another oops litter. Both of them think it’s a terrible punishment to be exiled from the rest of the family. Fin especially hates being away from people. When I let him out, he purrs and rubs against my legs, following me everywhere for the next hour. I’m really going to hate it when he has to be moved to the stud room most of the time. I love my sweet Fin. I have some stud pants for him and am thinking I should get him used to them now so if/when he starts spraying he’ll put up with wearing them around so he can be in the house at least part of the time.

Hello,
I am so glad the babies are settling down in their new homes. It was wonderful seeing them grow up.I am also thrilled for so many the kitties to have won so many finals.Now I am a novice when it comes to cat shows(never been to one. I plan to correct that serious lack soon) but that sounds wonderful. Getting to final means that they were among the top qualifying beauties right?
I am very excited about Talia-Fin babies. I was suffering from empty nest syndrome:)))..While it is not what you wanted to happen, they should make excellent babies together.Being related,would it be problematic for you? Quick question. At later stages of pregnancy, can you predict the number of babies there are?

Quick question.. Is Beau a silver classic tabby with white or Brown Classic tabby with white.. In some places it says he is a brown tabby, so I am confused…Thank you:))

Beau is a silver classic tabby and white. When he was a baby we thought he was a brown, and I guess I’ve never gone to Sondra’s site (which I partially maintain) to correct the references to him being brown. I’ll try to get that done this weekend.
Look for a cat show basics post soon. I’ll explain the whole process.
Talia and Fin aren’t that closely related — cousins of a sort — so their inbreeding co-efficient is acceptable. I probably wouldn’t want it much higher, unless I was more experienced and knew more about the lines involved. But their babies will be fine.
