All of our kittens are raised in our home with our children and dogs. They are used to the usual household noises and are well socialized before they leave us at the age of 13/14 weeks. They will have had their required vaccinations. (note we do not vaccinate against feline leukemia , as we feel it is too much for kittens this little to receive too many vaccinations at once), flea treatment if needed, wormed and vet checked at least twice prior to leaving.  They will be GCCF Registered, come with a kitty pack (food, toys, blanket etc), lifetime of advice, 5 generation pedigree and 4 weeks insurance. We are a FELV/FIV negative house. We do ask all new owners to send us updates as the kittens grow and photos if possible and to make the committment to give these kittens a forever home. Our kittens are sold to pet or show homes only. We very rarely sell our kittens on the active register. New owners will be required to sign a kitten sales agreement at the time they pick their kittens up. A non-refundable deposit of £100.00 will hold your new kitten. Our present litters are below, our kittens that have already gone to their new homes are on the kitten diaries....

The Birth

Well Phoebe was due on 30th April and being a typical Burmese made us wait. She went into labour at around 1.20pm and was having strong contractions which were not producing any kittens. After an hour of this, I called the Emergency vet (Bank Holiday) who said bring her in. She delivered her first brown boy half in the waiting room and the rest of him in the examining room. The vet declared him healthy and Phoebe beautiful and said to go home as she will be fine by herself now. On the way home in the car, Phoebe delivered baby number 2, a brown girl. She was nice enough to wait until we got home and put her back in the nursery box to deliver baby number 3, a chocolate boy. She took a rest after this and the 3 babies settled down to suckle. I started to download the pictures that I had taken and then got up to check on Phoebe and the 3 babies (a matter of 5 minutes at the most) and low and behold 2 more babies had been delivered. 1 blue boy and 1 chocolate girl. All 5 babies seem to be doing well, they are all suckling and content. Phoebe is being an excellent mother. Now you know why they are named after cars... please enjoy the pictures on Phoebes picture page.

Week 1

What can I say. The Cars are thriving, they are all fat little bundles of fur. Maserati hisses everytime you open the box, bless him. They are all content and don't make a sound. Phoebe is being an excellent mum, she has really surprised me. We still don't have any little eyes peeping open yet but it wont be long as Im sure Bentley has the beginnings of one eye peeping.  The BLT's are keeping out of the kitten room which is a good thing, although Phoebe is so laid back, she doesn't mind who goes in with them (well except for her arch enemy Kali, who is still trying to rule the roost).

Week 2

I should rename these kittens 'The Fatties' instead of the cars, they are really tubby and huge in size. Maserati and Bentley are the biggest and Lotus is the smallest (and even she isn't really small). All of their eyes are open now and they are beginning to recognise their siblings as being more interesting than just a warm furry body to curl up with. They are at the beginning stages of playing with each other. They are moving around the box a bit more now but have no interest in anything outside the warm box. Phoebe is feeling a bit lonely upstairs and has started to come down often now, hanging out in the kitchen and hovering outside the living room door. (She has still not forgiven Kali for her ill temper when her kittens were younger). Kali loves everyone at the moment because she is in heat, along with Kaiya and the 2 of them are quite funny rolling around together on the floor, although the screaming meows are not so funny. I can't wait for next week, the kittens will be 3 weeks old and then we shall start seeing some play and walking around and interest to come out of the box... We are not sure about Shelbi's colour, at first we thought that she was chocolate but she could possibly lilac, only time will tell now..

Week 3

It really doesn't seem like 3 weeks since I was anxiously waiting for these babies to be born and missing out on a weekend away in Devon on Rugby tour with my husband, children and drunken mates. These have been lovely babies, really content, Phoebe is doing a wonderful job as a mother. They are so cute, as soon as they hear your voice when you enter the nursery room they start meowing and all rush to the entrance of the nursery box. I think in the next couple of days they will start venturing out as they are all very interested in the outside world and all crowd in the little doorway fighting each other to see. My prediction is that Maseratti will be the first one out, closely followed by Bentley and Lotus. Bugatti and Shelbi will come out together I think as they are quite close. I definately don't think that Shelbi is chocolate, but I'm not sure if she is a lilac either. I keep checking nose and pawpads but the telltale colour isnt there yet. Oh well I have another 10 weeks to work it out. They are mostly up on 4 paws walking and have started playing with each other. Bentley's new parents are coming to meet him on Friday and we look forward to seeing them again. Week 3 and a bit. I was wrong, Bentley was the first out of the box followed by Shelbi and Bugatti, then Lotus and a very reluctant Maseratti. Now, though we can't keep them in the box, as soon as you put them back in they are out again. They are so funny, playing and trying to run on very unsteady legs. I had nose kisses from Bentley yesterday. Shelbi is definately lilac, her colour is starting to come through.

Week 4

Monsters I say, Monsters. These babies make the BLT's look like angels. We have had to cordon an area off to stop them from leaving the room but they are now climbing over the barrier, when you go upstairs you have to be really quiet because we dont want to wake them, well, not unless I want to play with them that is and then I will wake them up even if they dont want to. (Cruel woman that I am). They are all doing wonderfully. Bugatti and Shelbi are the smallest out of the 5 but even they arent very small. Bentley has been booked for his new home and I dont think that it will be long before the rest are booked as I have had a lot of interest and we will be having more viewings this week and next weekend. I will be starting with weaning this week onto baby food and then shortly after we will be litter training them. Lets hope they are as quick to learn that as they are at learning to get over the barriers.

Week 5

My goodness, these kittens don't stop talking. They have been moved downstairs so that we can intigrate them with the family more and we can enjoy their antics. They have all been weaned onto both wet kitten food and kitten dry food (in fact they don't stop eating) and we are having 85% success with litter training at the moment, which is great. They can climb the kitten trees and the couches. They are teething and bite everything including us. My ankles are torn to shreds because they like wrestling each other around your ankles. They all enjoy snuggling with us and run to us as soon as we come into the room. They climb up onto the chairs or sofa and demand that you pay them attention and then fuss until you have snuggled and let them fall asleep curled up on your chest,lap, arms etc. When the babies are this little we always shut them in the living room when we are out to keep them safe, well this morning it took me nearly 20 minutes, everytime I brought 1 back, 2 would escape etc. I would carry 3 back and put them in and another 2 would run out of the room (they are quite quick on their feet now). Shelbi has also been booked for her new home so it is only Lotus, Bugati and Maserati left now. But I don't think it will be long as they are gorgeous kittens.

Week 6

We pride ourselves on socializing all of our babies so that they make wonderful, friendly, family pets but these guys just take the biscuit. They demand attention and want to be curled up with you all the time. They are just great and so cute! They spend most of their day wrestling with each other, playing with Summer and Phoebe's tails and climbing the cat trees, then they want to curl up with us when we are home. They especially like the dogs to curl up with and I even found Lotus curled up on Ripley's BACK the other day (of course there was no camera available, so no pictures were taken). They did try and adventure outside but Maserati got his head stuck in the cat flap and they have not tried it since. Feeding time is hilarious as they are all fighting for space at the bowl and there is a lot of pushing and shoving going on and a lot of growling.  We will be moving them on to the enclosed litter box this week instead of the baby open one. They are having the occasional accident but it is next to the litter box and not anywhere else in the house. They can also be found fast asleep in the middle of the room, they play and play and then just drop off to sleep where they were standing.

Week 7

I LOVE THESE BABIES!!!!! I can't even begin to describe the personalities and how loving and cuddly these kittens are. They love everyone, it doesn't matter to them whether you have 2 legs or 4 legs. Everyone can be cuddled with and played with. They have no fear, nothing is too high or too scary for them to investigate. They are all fully litter trained in a covered litter box, no more accidents from anyone. They spend their day pouncing, running, pouncing, running and pouncing some more, then they crash. Phoebe has endless patience with them and still allows the occasional drink at the milk bar. Just like their mother, they follow you everywhere.

Week 8

Well we have had a quite a run around with the Cars this week. Shelbi's new family came to visit her again on Thursday and they were all here playing one minute and when we went to round them all up for the visit they had all disappeared except for Bugati who was sleeping on the chair. Kayla and I searched everywhere, we even called my son Jacob to come home and help us search, we could not find them anywhere, so unfortunately the Herbert family had to be content with only seeing Bugati (thankfully they don't live far away and they came back on Sunday and all the babies were here for them to see and play with). Oh and guess where the 4 babies were, they had found a small rip underneath the settee and were curled up asleep inside the very settee that the Herbert's were sat on!!!!!!!! Because I have fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis, I need to soak in a hot bath in the mornings so that I can move around as Im very stiff when I wake up.  This morning I had a visit from Phoebe and Summer as usual who sit on the edge of the bath and talk to me. Well this morning Lotus, Bugati and Bentley joined them, so it was quite crowded along the very thin, narrow, slippery edge of the bath tub. Well one of them had to go in, didn't they lol. Yes, it was little Lotus, who was amazingly quite a good swimmer until I scooped her out. We wrapped her up in a warm fluffy towel and I think the only thing that was damaged was her pride!! Vaccinations next week and I had better send off for their pedigree registrations. Well apparently, Lotus, enjoyed her swim so much, yesterday, that she jumped straight in there again today. We actually found her sitting on the side of the empty tub yesterday but this morning she ran straight up and jumped in with my husband in the tub this time.

Week 9

The kittens have just had their vaccinations and were all very good. The vet was pleased with them all. Lotus had lost some weight last week so the vet wormed them all. She is gaining weight now and eating like a horse. The vet was pleased with her progress and said there is nothing to be concerned about. He weighed her and she has gained weight since last week. I think by the end of the week, she will be as fat as all the others. She still talks a lot and follows you everywhere. They are all happy, confident, and very social kittens. Maserati is huge and people ask if he is from an older litter, he is that big! Bugati has the sweetest pixie face. Shelbi is very playful and her colour is just stunning. Bentley is a lovely, quiet chap, who loves to play and cuddle with his brothers and sisters and us humans. They are all really lovely, I will hate to see all of them go.

Week 10

Maserati has now found a new home, he will be going to live with his sister Shelbi and the Herbert family. Which we are extremely pleased about as it is always nice that when they go to their new home with a sibling, so that they have someone familiar with them. Only Lotus and Bugati are left to find a new home now. I can't believe they haven't been snapped up already. They are all so lovely. There have been no major incidences this week. They have been very good. Lotus is back up to her correct weight now and doing fine. I swear these babies dont stop eating, they are eating us out of house and home. Bugati is still nagging his mother for milk and sometimes she obliges and sometimes it is a stern no. I can't believe that I only have 3 more weeks left with these babies, we will miss them, although I wont miss their food bill lol.

Week 11

Lotus and Bugati have found new homes now, so all The Cars have been adopted. Shelbi will be known as Daisy-Mae, Maserati will now be Jacob, Bugati is Freddie, Bentley is still Bentley and Lotus' new name has not been decided yet. Bentley has been very poorly this last week. In fact we didn't think he was going to make the first night after we took him to the vet. Thank you so much to Penny & Ross (Bentley's new mummy & daddy) for their understanding and patience and dedication and prayers. And a big Thanks to Kayla for helping me with the 2 hourly feeds for the last 6 days, it has been exhausting and heartbreaking for everyone. We feel, pray and hope that he has turned the corner as he is now eating on his own and we no longer have to syringe feed him and for the first time in a week he ate his dry food and drank his water by himself. He is on his second set of 10 day anitbiotic jabs and even climbed the cat tree today. Please keep praying for him. All the other kittens are perfectly fine, fat and healthy. There haven't been any new photo;s lately as we have been busy keeping Bentley alive, but I will start taking some again shortly.

Week 12

We have very sad news. After a very brave battle with illness, Bentley passed away early hours of Friday morning. He seemed to show some improvement last week after having his second injection of antibiotics and was gaining weight and eating and drinking on his own, but after a couple of days he stopped eating and drinking again to the point where he was refusing syringing attempts by us. Our heartfelt sympathies go out to Ross and Penny, they loved him before he was born and it has been a great loss to them as well as us. The rest of The Cars have been to get their vet check and last set of vaccinations. All were declared fit and healthy and were very brave. I am trying to type this and Lotus is licking my ear it is very distracting. I'm sure that Maserati is as big as his mother now. This will probably be the last entry in this diary as they are leaving next week. Maserati and Shelbi will be leaving Sunday evening, Lotus on Monday and Bugati will be staying with us until the 13th August because his new family are on holiday. Thank you to Ross and Penny for your understanding and support and I am honoured and look forward to coming with you to see your future new baby next week. I am so glad that it will work out for you both, you are such a lovely couple and any kitten will have a wonderful home with you.
