Two new pictures of Edelweiss - what a handsome boy - got his mother's nose

What happened to Hattie's kittens

The kittens were 3 months old last week in January and 3 of them were sold then. You can find pictures of them in their new homes on the blog. "Star", a usual girl, didn't sell then and we have decided to keep her. We had offers from abroad but I wasn't sure about putting her on a plane. She's very affectionate and she and Hattie play together a lot. She's part of the family now. Click on any of the pictures to enlarge them

Merseyside Cat Show June 4th, Ellesmere Port - How did they do?

WAVETAIL HATTIE This girl was very uptight & gave the impression that she was likely to explode at any minute. Rather light weight requiring more body substance, slender limbs, neat spoon shaped paws, broader base to the tapering tail. Head needs to show more gentle rounding to the contours, rather fine muzzle, gentle rounding to her brow, hint of break, some rise on the nose, chin needs more depth, bite not checked. Good larger ears but very mobile with temper. Eyes green, flashing indignation, slanted almond. Her coat was rather long, slight resistance so not unduly soft. Well ticked on the body, good facial markings, some heel markings, black tail tip. Colour quite a pleasing degree of warmth to the undercoat, ruddy colour on the chest tummy & inside the legs, some muzzle & chin paling detracted. Condition okay, but extremely tense.

ADELFSH HATTIE'S STAR - Usual Abyssinian Kitten, Female.
1st. & BOB. Well grown and stylish youngster. The head has a good contoured wedge, the ears are large and well set. Good profile line, good chin depth. Expressive well shaped eyes, good bright hazel in colour. Good coat texture, good rich ruddy base colouring and underparts. The ticking is very well defined. Lithe well grown body, the limbs and tapering tail are all in good proportions.
