Hi Judith...

These kittens are quite amazing little creatures. There’s no nervousness or shyness in them at all. Even my vet was quite taken with them. They’re eating and drinking and their stools are good.

Update: I’ve had the kittens 2 weeks today and they are really quite amazing.  Although Kes is a couple of weeks younger than Quin, she appears to be the alpha kitty (so far anyway). She is extremely inquisitive and outgoing. She’ll steal whatever Quin is playing with if he gives her half a chance (but he has no problem pouncing on his little sister). What are big brothers for??

That’s it for now.

Judith,
 
Gambler arrived at our place yesterday (named him Razor) - he took all of 5 seconds to get used to his room! He now purrs whenever you come close to him! He's got the cutest little meow and he speaks to us often.  ...........Thank you so much for all of your help in this process. I can see why you've been doing this for so long, if all your cats/kittens become as awesome as Gambler/Razor! Thank you!

Update: His coat is really turning silver, it looks really cool I think. We really think with his coat, and markings and personality he's truly a one of a kind and we absolutely love him -> please thank jolie and harvest for me as well! :)
 
Thank you so much again. Keep in touch.

Judith, What a charmer he is, such a strong personality.  We have now decided to change his name to Staushy. There was no shyness what-so-ever. It took just about 5 minutes to check out his new home, and then started playing immediately. 

Staushy is such a dynamic kitten.  He seems to be adjusting very well and in such a short time.  He is eating/drinking well and explores and plays until he falls asleep.  Staushy lets us know when he wants attention or to be picked up.  I love that. He has picked out what seems to be his favorite toy.  If we do not praise Staushy while playing with a toy, he brings it to us, and the game of fetch begins.

Staushy doesn’t like being alone, even for a few minutes which is fine by me.  I am loving this time with him.

With our Sincerest Gratitude,

Annie and Paul

Hi Judith, ….they are doing wonderful, ate food last night when we arrived and 3 meals today, they also went to their litter last night and today and are very playful and affectionate already! I can’t believe how great they are and how gorgeous they are….you, Harvest and Rayn have done an awesome job…a thousand thanks :0). The whole family loves them…my daughter wakes up a bit too early for my liking to see the kittens :0) but that’s fine…she’s been waiting so long! Martin says they will be the best looking cats he’s ever seen! The whole family has fallen in love with them….thank you so much again! Good night! Rachel

Hello Judith

All is very good.   Both kittens are adapting to our home very well.  

The Vet visit went very well.   Our Vet Dr Stewart Hayes had indicated you have excellent reputation and truly is a passion of yours to be breeding such beautiful cared for Maine coon cats.  Bokka weight 4 lbs 5
oz while Cloche 4 lbs 2 oz.  

Both of their plumbing is working fine.   They both are super affectionate.   Cloche continues to follow me in the kitchen.  We truly love both kittens. 

Thank for everything and filling our hearts with so much joy.  When we picked them up at the airport both Bob and I started to cry.  We are extremely happy! 

Thanks a mil Judith.

Hi Judith,

Thought I should report that all is very well in Stouffville.  Both 
kittens are having an afternoon nap after enjoying their beef/chicken 
lunch.  They really eat well and all other functions appear normal.  
We visited the vet yesterday PM and both kittens passed with flying 
colors.  Mr. Rufus Brown actually lay down on the scales and made 
himself quite at home.  Both our vet and his assistant were taken 
completely by them and were amazed at how friendly and outgoing they 
are.  They really are terrific and Maureen and I are so thrilled to 
have them and to provide for them:-)))

 Thanks Judith for raising such wonderful creations, they truly are 
wonderful.

Hello Judith,

Thank you so much for a wonderful afternoon & tour of your excellent facility.

Right now, Blue Trio is happily purring laying in his new cat tree (exactly the same as yours).  I ran right out & bought one.  He's closed in a small room with a French door where he can look out & see Mayan & Pandora.  No one seems too perturbed at the moment.  Mayan's very curious.

Trio already used his litter box, ate a couple of his dry food and has his raw dinner available for him.

Guard Tigger well.  If he disappears....it was Suzannah and he's on his way to Australia. LOL It was a pleasure to meet you & your 2 boys. Thank you for your warm welcome & hospitality. Ric

 Hi Judith,
 
Toby is settling in well.  He is such a beautiful cat and has such an easygoing manner.  I have been so focused on the excitement of Toby joining our family that I've completely neglected how hard it must have been for your family to part with Toby.  We want you to know that Toby will be well loved and we want to assure you that we will take excellent care of him.
 
Thank you! Jackie

Thank-you so much, Judith!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

friends always, Moreen

In desperation to find a name for this Cookie and after my comments that "Cookie is such a cookie", Moreen writes on day 2: COOKIE is his name!!!  I think that is why we were struggling to find a name, when what he had already was all him.  (The famous race horse helped, hehe!!). I'll update again, soon. cheers,

Hi Judith....just thought I would send you a note and some pictures to let you know that Macaroon is settling in nicely.
 
Her new name is Xena. 
 
She's been eating well and runs around like a little freight train. She likes to cuddle with me on my chair when I read my paper in the morning.
 
Take care. Elaine

Additional comments: Xena is an absolute little treasure, I love to watch her run around, she is so bubbly and bouncy and rolly polly.  She is constantly purring like a little saw mill.  She weighs about 5 lbs now.  She's a well adjusted, happy, confident little girl.

.........Not so little anymore.

Update May 2009: Some pics of Xena, watching birds from my bedroom window. She weighs about 14 lbs now (11 months old).
