Tia and Otto are an absolute delight, they are absolutely hilarious, they copy the dogs behaviours, they beg, they steal food and play ball in the paddock with the dogs.  The puppy gives them both a really hard time, he jumps on them, rough and tumbles with them like he would with his litter mates and not once have they put their claws out to him. 

They do get pretty fed up sometimes and bat him over the head.  They have a very large room upstairs where they sleep at night and more often than not at around nine they start nagging one of us to take them to bed.  Before Christmas ,just after getting the puppy my m.e. kicked in I had to spend quite a lot o time in bed where I was joined by all dogs including the puppy on a special puppy pad and the two cats, good job I didn't need a doctors visit. Hope all your cats are well and you and your family have a great year, more photos will follow.

I just wanted to let you know what a beautiful young cat Hebe is. She
has an amazing 'no worries' personality that lets her shrug off any
catty behaviour from the others and has loved being outside this spring
and summer so far. She is a fearsome hunter and has the habit of
climbing trees and getting stuck then calling for help, my tree
climbing skills are OK but a good ladder helps. She is very trusting
and happy to be plucked from a high branch without resistance, which is
a good job as she climbs after squirrels as well as birds and gets
herself into some tight spots on very thin branches!
She never walks anywhere every movement is at top speed, a full gallop.

Regards Mike

Dear Elizabeth,

I had started a note to you just after Lady Marmalade's 5th birthday - that was early July !  Lady M is very well and enjoys a very spoilt life...

something I'm sure you'd approve of !

We are now overseas working in Kuwait and Lady M came with us, naturally.

Over here she is a total indoor cat; I wouldn't have it any other way here.

She is so totally soppy and loves a cuddle and fuss as much as the next Tiffanie!  She absolutely adores being brushed and jumps into the bathroom sink to let you know she is ready for a brushing session!!  She knows how to tell you what she wants. She is a part of the family I would not be without.

I've attached some very recent photos of her - as usual owning the place!

Hope you are keeping well.

Helen, Tony and Lady Marmalade xx

Hi,

Buttons is settling in very well. After a bit of bad language from Ting Tong, all three are scampering around  playing together now. Ting Tong has even accepted Buttons sleeping in my arms, while she sleeps next to us...Buttons is very fiesty! Quite vocal too when she wants food or attention -which she does alot! I think there's going to be quite a competition to see who eventually becomes "TopCat" - and I think she will win, as Ting Tong, although holding her own at the moment, has a less forceful personality.As you can see, she is intrigued by the dishwasher! and goes to Ting Tong for a cuddle...
she's got quite an appetite! I have to feed her on her own -she eats everyone else's otherwise!
Everyone who has seen Buttons has fallen in love with her -she's so outgoing and sociable. She's like a little whirlwind and has certainly livened the place up! She's asleep on my lap as I write this (everytime I sit down, she's there on my lap!)

Thank you - she is so lovely.
Jackie 

 

 The lovely Alfie - a year on!
Dear Elizabeth,

I thought you'd like to know how Alfie (Ch Filandre Aeneas) is getting on

 in Hauxton with Katie - I know she's sent you some photo's but she's not been able to write much. Alfie
has been part of our lives for virtually a year now and can't imagine life
without him.  He's a one in a million feline friend.

Adrian and I call Alfie our 'grand cat' (as opposed to our grandson), and we too
are besotted by him, it's always a bit of a battle to see who can get to him
first when we visit Katie..  Whenever you see him it's as though he hasn't seen
anyone for the last week despite having been cuddled and loved in the previous 5
mins! He loves to climb on your shoulder and be carried around with head resting
on your neck.

I think Katie told you he was going out into the garden. He was desperate to go
out and it was becoming quite difficult to keep him in, so we decided to go for
it.  He's loved being out and stayed in the garden mooching about and coming in
when he'd had enough.  He now leaves the garden and goes off exploring and uses
the cat flap to go in and out  (when it's not raining, he's far too important to
get his coat wet!). He's been doing this now for the last 4 months and is
perfectly happy, contented and always returns for his home comforts. We were so
worried when he first started doing it but he's been fine - we open the flap in
the morning and lock it before it gets dark.  He actually doesn't go outside at
all until Katie gets up as he waits in her 'resting bed' on the pillow until he
hears her stir and then goes to wait for her at the bedroom door. Once he's then
had a huge fuss, he ventures outside for a bit and comes back to lay with her
when she rests - it's so lovely to see. He seems really happy and looks very
fine and is treated like a king by Katie. He's transformed her life and I don't
think he does too badly either! We sometimes think the carer thinks more about
Alfie than of Katie too! He goes on the stairlift with her and loves to lounge
on the settee with her too.
He's a bit of a favourite with the neighbours who all want to cuddle him - which
he loves, but at the end of the day he's a real one woman cat .

Do hope you can put some photos of him in his new home on your web site - if you
need any we have hundreds of him!! 
With kind wishes to you and your lovely cats

Jill
 

We are very proud of Jasmine who was the very first Tiffanie Grand Champion.
She has a delightful personality and is a typical ‘naughty tortie’. Unfortunately her last pregnancy resulted in a caesarean so we made the very difficult decision to have her neutered and rehomed. She now lives as a spoilt only cat with a delightful couple in Winchester.

Her offspring International Champion Filandre Reachforthestars, Champion Filandre Jet-Star and her very last kitten Filandre Chasinshadows follow in her footsteps.

Hello and Happy New Year from Ptolemy and Co.

 
Ptolemy celebrated his first birthday as you know recently and is now quite the man, and has a varied fanbase.
 I got him a little girlfriend in the end not long after, Ophelia a Bengal from a lady called Amanda Colgan in Cambridgeshire.
 I was going to get another tiff but she had two boys and seemed a shame to splt them and I thought a girl would be better company. They keep each other on their toes and there have been no major misdemeanours. Nothing compared, in fact to the burmese I had who were always breaking things etc etc.
 Ptol was only a bit miffed for about 24 hours which was a surprise really considering all the horror stories you hear and they remain a happy couple.
 I am attaching a few pics of the babes.
 Hope that you are both doing well and that Ptolemy's siblings are both settled and happy in their respective homes.

Best wishes,
 Eric Gelshinan

Laura & Lance

He's settled in very well and really wants to be part of the family, he spends a lot of time in the garden and patrols his territory with great zest. He's definitely a lap cat, spends most evenings on my lap. Is eating well and loves to play with Laura.

Amber on dad's back

This is a brief extraction from a mail received from Barbara Penniall who is owned by Filandre Silversox She was bought as a self Birthday present but has fallen in love with Barbara’s teenage son Lyndon 

Amber is growing (and how) from strength to strength. I am allowed to purchase toys, food, smart beds and general essentials, but Amber and Lyndon conduct this totally mutual admiration society – me, I am tolerated. Seriously she is growing into a really lovely animal (not that she wasn’t always). Her coat is quite fluffy – magnificent tail, but her colouring is a million shades ranging from coffee to cream -oh and  under her chin and the tips of her paws are white. (breeder note - that’s why she was named silversox!) 

My parents came to stay at Easter and both, of course, fell totally and absolutely in love with her. She pointed out to dad that the scratching post he made for Mistletoe ( our previous cat) was in need of rejuvenating and as he bent over to repair same, she supervised from a customary position – quite comfy thank you and please don’t bother to get up
