 We just wanted to update you on our little boy. We decided to name him Ocelot and he is getting pretty good at coming to his name (especially at mealtimes)  He is absolutely as great as you said he would be..and then some. Thats another thing...he loves to give kisses. If we put our face close to his he will give us licks on the nose and will always try to take our hands when we are petting him to help "groom" us.
 
   Its very obvious to us the ammount of time and love you have put into him for him to grow up with such an affectionate and people oriented nature. I cant express enough thanks to you for this beautiful kitten..inside and out.

Hi Judith,

I received Shayla safely from her flight in great care with her favorite toy from her previous home.  I brought her home and opened the carrier in her private room.  She immediately walked out and straight into my lap!  Her purring was soooo loud and she was taking my hands in her paws and licking them.  She cuddled me for at least a half hour.  What was evident to me, in addition to the wonderfully inherent great disposition she has captured from her mother (Ashanti), was the amount of socialization and care she must have received from her previous home.  I feel fortunate to acquire this sweet little girl and am grateful to you both for the ground work that has been put into the fantastic kitty that I now have in my family!! I could not be more grateful to be entrusted with her in my home. Thank-You!!!  Blessings, Terri

He is still doing great and still the gentlest cat I’ve ever owned, was looking up your website for a friend and thought I’d send you an update. His last weigh in was 18 lbs. – but he is a beauty, you did miss out, much to our delight!!!  In his whole life he has only scratched someone because their foot was in the wrong place and once my daughter for just pushing him waaayyyy too far (and even then it was an accident, he just wanted to get away).  You couldn’t get him to even put your hand or finger in his mouth – makes giving medicine a bit of a challenge, but for nature it is great!

The only health issues Kucha has had is two bladder infections, they were cleared up right away and he still has to be with me all the time.  Just love me and feed me he says! LOL

Thank you for our gorgeous boy!

Update May 2009:

Hello Judith, both Biscotti and Boo are doing well. They are super healthy cats, never having had so much as a sniffle in the entire time they have been here.
Boo (who is mostly called Bamboo now) is weighing in at 6 kg and has a
nice shaggy, not-too-long coat as you can see on the easter pic.
Biscotti is already at 8.3 kg (!!!) with a lot more coat, also another
texture, a little less shaggy. She is not fat, she is just HUGE. Avena is 6.9 kg and very heavily boned on quite a normal frame (she does not look big, just like Boo. They are happy and affectionate, and are absolutely never a problem. We love them to bits! regards, and thank you for these amazing girls!

"I just cannot thank you enough for our beloved kitten!  He is, without a doubt, the very best cat I have ever known.  I am so in love with him.  I wish I could explain how much we love him and how much fun we are having with him.  Did I tell you how *HUGE* he has gotten.  I cannot believe how fast he is growing.  He is so smart too. We have him harness and leash trained, sitting, and coming on command.  He's a good boy and a quick study. "

" Dora is jumping and playing all over the house. She is a doll, and verrrrrry smart. .....She gravitates towards my mother in law but really she is everyone’s kitten. Dora so reminds me of my other Coon Cat Barney. Same habits. Dora is just a sweetheart, gentle loving, playful, which is what I like in Maine Coons"

"Thanks again for such a delightful, well behaved, kitten."
