Long Time, No Post

Well, not that long. But long enough to get an email or two asking if things are ok! Yup, they are fine... some of you know that my other hobby, besides all things cat, is my allotment, and it's that manic time of year when everything needs to go in the ground RIGHT NOW NOT A MOMENT TO LOSE and so I've been spending my free time planting. Ho hum.

Your excuses bore me, lady...

It's also been a busy time of year as all four cats need yearly vaccinations, and Theo looked as though he was going to have another one of his unwell episodes. For a couple of days he'd been quite subdued, sleepy and generally 'not quite right'. I got to the vet, and he decided he was perfectly alright again, stalking round the office, tail swishing, rubbing his head on everything in sight etc. As a precaution, the vet took his temperature, and it was actually quite high, so he had antibiotics anyway, and he's been all right since, so heaven knows what the matter was. Anyway with that and the vaccinations we've visited the vet a lot of late too. But that's not exactly unusual round here!

Anyway, so that's been us. Hopefully it won't be so long before the next post :)

Snippety Snip!

Yup, it's that time! Time to get the kittens spayed and neutered. I can't quite believe they are old enough, really...

Don't forget to send me something confirming the procedure- a photocopy of the reciept or a vet's note will do as long as it's clear its for neutering and for which cat :)

As for me, I suppose I'd really best get a wriggle on and give some serious thought to the next stud I want to use! Yes, we're definitely going to go for another litter, this one was so great and it was such a positive experience that the teenager and I have decided we want to do it again! I've made a few tentative enquiries as to a suitable stud, so we will see!

Not Having Much Luck

Well, I was due to go to another cat show this weekend... but instead am ill... again!

I'm especially annoyed about this one. This is the Annual Tonkinese Cat Club Show and there will be, fairly obviously, lots of Tonks there. Tonks of all colours, kittens, older cats, studs and breeding queens... And lots of Tonk breeders as well. And, well, I do like to talk about my cats, and it's just a missed opportunity. Botheration!

Ah well, it can't be helped. The other Tonk club, the Tonkinese Breed Club, has a show in October. I'll try to make that one, instead!

Giving Theo the evil eye...see how she has her ears flattened?

Yes, Please!

Sofia, eager for another Furminating session!

I have Furminated every day, and the three girls I'm not getting a lot from now, certainly not the handfuls I was getting earlier on in the week. Theo's is still fairly prolific, but he doesn't tolerate the brushing for long.

Definitely worth the spend!

New Cat Bed?

Hellew

I haven't been getting much work done recently...  Indigo has decided my keyboard shelf makes a brilliant bed if I'm at my desk...

It's Jacob and Jonah!

Awww, don't they look fab? Here's what their Mum had to say:

Jakey and Jonah are doing really well. They've got great appetites and bagfuls of energy (particularly late at night when I want to go to bed!) But they're wonderful, such great company and completely different characters. Jonah loves his hugs and is almost always with me... Jacob's a little tinker - he gets into everything (almost) and if he can't he certainly tries several times. If he succeeds, then Jonah will give it a go too!

Hehe they haven't changed much, have they? Lovely update and photos. I love the sheen they are getting to their coats now, this is one of my favourite things about the Tonkinese breed. It's not so obvious as roly poly kittens, but when they start to mature a bit... WOW.

Thank you C... such beautiful boys!
