The girls are doing so good! They are learning a few tricks with treats and play and run constantly. They do play with each other a lot, but I've noticed they like to be in the same room as me and find me when it's sleepy time for snuggles.
Their favorite toys are usually crumpled paper balls, milk carton lids and pipe cleaners. So much for fancy cat toys!
Seriously, there is no cat sweeter and more loving than Kaia. I feel like she's almost human like. She is the best cat I have ever known! Sometimes when we have our alone time, while I'm reading or on my iphone, I look at her and talk to her and my eyes well up with tears because I lover her so much. Thank you so much for her.
Just had a lovely conversation with Motka's vet. She comes to the house, which is really nice. She gives him 100% for health and is really impressed with him. Based on his behavior, the health of his various parts, etc. she had plenty of good things to say about you. She said "You can always tell when the breeder knows how to do things right and does it with love." She didn't want to give him back to me after the examination and said to him, "If you were a car, you'd be a Maserati." Thought you'd like to know.
The kitties seem really happy and I think quite well-adjusted. They really do love each other, but they also interact with us a lot. When they "chill out" during the day they will quite often seek one of us out to cuddle with. Nadezhda has a special fondness for Mike and Dmitri has a special relationship with me.
Just wanted to send along an updated picture of Dixie, and to wish you and your family happy holidays!
As you can see Dixie has turned into an absolutely gorgeous cat. We get comments constantly about how beautiful she is. What makes her all the more beautiful is her loving and sweet nature. The kids often comment that they can't remember life before her!
She sleeps with the kids at night, rotating rooms. The craziest thing is that she will sleep in until someone wakes up! You hear stories about cats waking their owners up at 4 a.m. - not Dixie. She has to be with us - especially the kids - constantly. She sits on a chair at the dinner table with us every night. And when the kids are outside playing, she sits at the window and cries the most pitiful cry until they come back in.
She really is the best cat ever - thank you for raising such wonderful kittens! We love our Dixie so much!
Hope you have a very happy and healthy 2015!
