The drought is over!



Curly girls have been born!!! Perfectly normal you would think but last year we didn't have a single curly girl, in fact we had two litters that were all straight hair so Abbie's new babies are a glimmer of hope for this year!

Abbie gave birth to six lovely babies on Sunday 24th after keeping us waiting for ages. She has two Chocolate Spotted & White boys (one curly, one straight) a Brown Spotted & White curly boy, a Black & White straight girl (who is a piglet), a Chocolate curly girl and a tiny but fiesty Brown Spotted curly girl. Alfie is dad so all babies carry Cinnamon. This is his and Abbie's final litters.

On the British front Marnie's babies are growing fast, playing fast and keeping us all on our toes. All 3 are reserved.

Harmony and Sassy were shown last weekend, Harmony had 3 finals so just needs some more points to reach Double Grand Champion. Sassy split the boys gaining 2nd BOB in all rings but no finals, she was only just in the adult classes so very pleased with how she did.

Ivy, Candy and Honey are all due babies in June so we are looking forward to more little sproglets then :-)

End of season

Well, today is the start of the new show season and the beginning of a whole new region in TICA, EW, Europe West consists of England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Isle of Man and Iceland.

We hope to have finished the last season with Eddie in 3rd BOB for EN, Spooky BOB for EN, Laurel 3rd BOB EN and Clair's boy Bud 2nd BOB Int & EN. Bud has been the most succesful SH alter from the UK in TICA to date and all before his 2nd Birthday! Our American Curl, Aimee, has had a fantastic show career as a kitten and should be Int BOB and a Regional Winner. More details about our Curls can be found on their blog http://overear.blogspot.com/

Back on the home front Marnie's kittens are now 4 weeks and getting up to mischief, we have one Black boy available in this litter. We hope to have British and Selkirk babies in June and July in an assortment of colours!
