Life in our Cattery must go on.

We have had some very hard weeks in our Cattery.
Therfor I felt no joy making weekly pictures and make any update about the kittens.

We have lost our beautiful little girl, Glitter Wave.
I manage to make 5 week picture of her, and then few days later we lost her.

She grew normally the 3 first weeks, after that it hung up somehow.
In my deepest I had not high hope, but still I was hoping anyway for a little miracle. She was my favorite little girl since she was 1 day old.
Glitter Wave suffored from intussusception .

Rest in peace our beautiful furry angel girl.








And if that wasn't enough...... the week after our dearest Raspberry was expecting her babies.
She started to giving birth in the start of a weekend. It took time, but eventually the first baby was born.
A stillborn black boy.
OK, that can happened, now the birth had started and the rest were very welcome in to the world.
Just to make this awful story very short.
Raspberry needet help. We have not had many C-sections in our Cattery, but this time it was needet.
But it was weekend, and noone of the big Vet-kliniqs wanted to help us in Kristiansand!! Some did not answering the phone, and others was said they were afraid of this case!! Yes, you read it right.
Many hours later a fantastic kliniq in Arendal said come to us!!
It was a 3h  drive at least.
 Raspberry got her C-section, but her other 4 babies were now dead :-(  She had to be spayed, her utereus was totally broken up after the first 24 h.
The next week, Raspberry had to fight for her life!! But her future looks much better now.
Carolynn will probaly write the whole story on FB later.

Breeding are ups and downs, but this happening with Raspberry was unnecessary. We are so greatful for those amazing Vets that helped us, and to use a  nicer word ...  very dissapointed on them that did not bother to help and animal in pain, fighting for her life!


But enough of the sadness.


Geishas kittens and her fosterbaby are now 7 w old.
They are now running around in the kitchen and half the livingroom, enjoing life to the fullest.
Everyone of eating solid food, still only raw and wet.







We have decidet this time to keep a solid coloured girl in the breeding programme.
Ocean Tide,Water Lily or Aqua Dream....... hmm. Not an easy dessision, because all 3 have good qualitees.
But yesterday, I saw that Aqua Dream is not solid, no no , she has spots!! I was a bit unsure many weeks ago, but then I have not thought so much about it.
But she is blue, and even colour should not matter that much , blue is not our favorite colour nr 1 :D

So now we have 2 girls to choose between.
1 of them is looking very special and promising in type, the other is full of charm and has crawled in to Veenas heart. A very mean thing of a kitten to do ;-))

Eventually we will choose one of them.

So Aqua Dream and Sea Sparkle will not stay with us.


Here are the 7w- pictures.








And our big littler charmer, Neptune  , who prefer to sit in a lap and not infront of any camera.
"Action lady, I need action and thons of couddle!!"





Have a nice weekend.
