This game with a captive ball is very popular - though the adult cats ignore it

Kittens again

Free range now and feeling quite sleepy in this hot weather. The cutie by herself is the girl.

Kittens, three weeks later

Star's kittens are growing rapidly, their eyes opened a week ago, and they can move around more easily (but still crawl and wobble rather than walking properly). We expect them to escape from their box into their pen any day soon. There are 2 boys, one paler and more gingery than the other, and a girl, all usuals. They will be looking for new homes in September - contact details on the Abyssinian Cat Club and the Abyssinian Cat Association websites.

And then there were kittens - born Tuesday afternoon June 17th, 2014

The first two were breech births, and hard work for Star. She's settling down with them. They weighed 105 to 119 grams this morning.

Giggs was hot as well............

There will be kittens

Some photos of Star feeling fat and hot (and pregnant).

Almond's first birthday

Thanks to Almond's owner for this photograph. She reports that Almond has learnt how to use the toilet, rather than a litter tray. What a clever cat!

Will there be kittens?

Hattie's daughter Star visited Gr. Ch. Brunnbäcken’s Leon over the weekend. After initial shyness they mated enthusiastically. If she is pregnant we can expect to see the first signs in early May. Paws crossed............

Update on Almond

Almond's new owner just sent me some new pictures of him. He must have learnt tops of doors and computer keyboards from the cats here but I'm really impressed to see him walking on a lead.
