Happy Halloween
The summer has been and gone and babies are safely in their new homes. We only have American Curl kittens running riot at home, they run rings round our British and the Selkirks try to keep up but fail!
We aren't planning any more litters until 2011 now as we will be very busy in the next few weeks with our wedding!!! After 14 years Stef and I are finally getting round to it on 3rd December :-)
No show news to update as we have had a long break but we will, as always, be attending the Spoticat Christmas Show on 10th, 11th & 12th December at Sports Connexion, Ryton - on - Dunsmore, CV8 3FL. Final decisions have to be made on who is joining us but there should be curls in one way or another. Needless to say it will be a bit different to a traditional honeymoon!
Although we don't have any babies available we will be retiring some of our show and breeding cats over the winter, some of them will be available to forever pet homes. If you think you would like a big Lelaurier baby please get in touch and we'll see if we can help.

and it's July already!
Half of the year has been and gone but not a lot has changed. Mikey (Lelaurier Easeamiracle)made his adult debut back in March and came home a Champion, he went to his second show in June and is now a Grand Champion! He finished the 09/10 show year as Best of Breed Selkirk Rex kitten in Western Europe and Best International Chocolate Spotted Tabby & White Selkirk Rex adult, not bad for 2 kitten and 1 adult shows!
Our kitten owners also had the following successes:
QGCA Lelaurier Coldfeet (Lilac & White British) - 2nd BOB Alter in EW
Lelaurier Glenlossie (Blue British) - 2nd BOB kitten in EW
DGCA Lelaurier Cloudingover (Blue point & White Selkirk Rex) - 3rd BOB Alter in EW
We are looking forward to the regional Banquet at the end of August where we can celebrate with friends.
The kitten front is very quiet, we just have one variant boy who has a fabulous home ready and waiting for him. We hope that Mikey will sire his first litter later this year and also plan to have some Cinnamon & Fawn British, if the girls oblige.
No shows are planned at the moment but we will be out and about this winter.

Happy New Year
Starting back in December with the Christmas show Mikey and Vinny managed to both pick up finals even with the large kitten count. Both boys loved the show which bodes well for Mikey in the future. I would love it if Vinny could go to a show home but this great big ball of love will be just as happy being a spoilt pet!
Aside from that we've had a relatively quiet Christmas and New Year, the cats have been tormenting the Christmas tree or chasing snowflakes and the dogs have either been snugged up or pretending to be snow ploughs!!
We still have older kittens available to new homes, ridiculously we still have 4 of Lexi and Henry's litter remaining, normally our British get snapped up quickly especially of this quality so if you want a beautiful British please get in touch!
No new matings are planned just yet.

Not long until Christmas!
The Lelaurier cats had a fantastic show weekend over the 14th & 15th of November, all of them managed at least one final!
We took Lexi, RW QGC Lelaurier Miniequinox, Clair and Chris took her 3 year old daughter, Misti, TGCA Lelaurier Coldfeet and Natalie and family brought her 4 month old daughter, Lossie, Lelaurier Glenlossie to her first show. Then for the Selkirks Liz and Kevin brought out Storm, Lelaurier Dancingstorm, who became a Champion Alter at his first show and Carole and Michael took Cirrus, GCA Lelaurier Cloudingover. We had a lovely time at a great venue with lovely people :-)
On the kitten front we still have 3 curlies, 2 straights and the rest of Lexi's British litter available. I have also decided against keeping Echo (blue tabby & White curly girl) as I feel she needs a more one to one relationship with her human slave! She is extremely affectionate and just wants to be attached to you all day and it is only fair that she be given that oppurtunity rather than share me with the rest of our gang.
The Christmas show run by Spoticat is just around the corner so lots of planning and preparation!
We should be welcoming the pitter patter of tiny paws just after Christmas!

Dogs and Cats!
Sadly it looks like we may have to find a new home for Breeze our lovely 4 year old Dally bitch. It started last December with her and Skye falling out and now she has taken to attacking Summer, she is fine with the two boys but can no longer spend any time with either of the other girls. Her and Summer are due to spayed in early January and we will see how things go after that but Summer is understandbly very nervous of her now and it has unsettled all of them. It's not fair for Breeze to be kept on her own and lose out on some of the attention here so if it comes to it we will be looking for the perfect home for her.
As for the cats, well they are just stark raving bonkers but that's nothing unusual for Lelaurier babies! A few more of the kittens have left for new homes now and we have the pleasure of Milan and Elly's company until December when they fly out with their new mummies Jesse and Kirsten to Germany. A big thank you to Kirsten for helping Jesse out with coming over I can't wait to meet you both :-)
We still have a few babies needing homes from our 2009 litters, details can be seen on our website.

Kittens and shows
Mikey, Lelaurier Easeamiracle, had a fabulous first show picking up 6 finals and finishing 7th Best kitten overall, I am still slightly shocked! He is one to watch for the future as there is still so much more to come but with that result he may join us at a few more kitten shows. His beautiful curly sister will be winging her way to Germany at the start of December but we do still have the two straight coated kittens in his litter, Luna a Black & White girl who I just adore (she must not stay, she must not stay LOL) she is a cheeky and intelligent girl who can sniff out a cat toy at 50 paces and Rocky who is the straight version of his brother a gorgeous Chocolate Spotted & White boy. Rocky fits into the 'jelly' catergory he just melts when he sees people and all he wants is love! We still have 3 curly boys and another variant available as well.
Then there are the British babies, who are just downright scrumptious. Honey's remaining two are lovely, Milan in particular has exceptional type for a Cinnamon carrier (the reason I used Honey) and Bugsy just wants to purr his head off at you! Lexi's again are beauitful, even little dot Whinnie, who is now eating very well and growing fast. Tali, Mac and Vinny could all easily go on the show bench and if funds permitted that is exactly where they would be!
I picked up a copy of Your Cat magazine today as our American Curls have been featured but as an added bonus photos from a shoot a few years back of Gracie (Catbalu Strawberriesncream) and Sully (GC Colmarc Fallguy) have also been used in various articles :-)
