Felix

2010-10-18T14:01:00.000-07:00

I know it was 10 days ago, but it's not a easy topic to post. Our old black and white rescue moggie Felix had to be laid to rest on 7/10/10. we always thought he was indestructible after battling with diabetes's for 7 out of his 12 years on this earth.
He developed diabetes's just after his sole mate Elsa got run over being chased by him. The stress of losing her made him diabetic. Susie and I could not believe that we had our 3rd diabetic cat to look after.Over the 7 years we have nursed & loved him through many hypo's, each time thinking we were going to lose him, but oh no he proved us so wrong every time. He was such a survivor. But there's only so much a body can take and on the 7th October when he could not keep any food down and he fould it hard to walk, we made the kindest and most difficult decision pet owners have to make and let him go to his beloved Elsa. We miss you old boy shouting for food, but where you are now you no longer need insulin. Take care until we all meet again in an other life, we love you always. xx

Rio gives birth to 5 kittens

2010-04-20T05:45:00.000-07:00

Rio gave birth to five lovely kittens last nite, and as this is her last litter she sure did it in style and gave us her biggest litter. She now joins her grandaughter Miu Miu with her babies in the same pen sharing duties.

2010-04-19T04:13:00.000-07:00

Miu Miu has her Kittens

2010-04-15T09:06:00.000-07:00

Miu Miu has given birth to 5, yep 5! kittens all weighing in between 98 -107g. We think we have 3 Lilac's & 2 Blues, but it's still way to eary to be certain & we are yet to sex them, as Miu has been a bit difficult being her 1st litter, but mommy mode is starting to kick in now.So i can have a rest from bottle feeding every few hours.

Next it's Rio's turn Monday, so fingers crossed all goes well and you never know it might be another 5!

Keep checking back soon for Photo's

Take care Mark & Susie x

Hi
Regards Mark & Susie. Sent using BlackBerry® from Orange

Congratulations

2010-03-01T15:27:00.000-08:00

A Big Congratulations goes to 2 wonderful Mentobe's owned by Philipa & Vicky, they did a fantastic job of showing Mentobe Tallulah Belle & Mentobe Cotton Cloud on Saturday at the Coventry & Leicester show. Tallulah Won her open gaining her 2nd pc & won the BOB. Cloud came 3rd in her 1st kitten class against some stiff opposition and a 1st in a side class of 6. well done to both beautiful girls and of course their moms x. (Their photo's are on Catplanet's web site under the Coventry & Leicester show report)

Congratulations also goes to Snowwitch Sommerstorm (Little Ted our Saffi's grandson) who won his grand & BOB. Well done Janet.

On the kitten front Miu Miu has pinked up so the countdown is on for her 1st litter, this litter should be very interesting as she has gone to a Chocolate boy & Miu is a blue tabby that carries dilute, so in theory we could get: seal, Blue, Chocolate, Lilac and any of those colours in tabby. Miu Miu is a very typey girl so the kittens should be gorge!

We think Rio is pregnant and she should pink up this week, she will have blues & possibly lilac's but don't hold your breath on the lilac she has not had one yet.

So if your looking to be owned by a Mentobe please contact us we would love to hear from you.

Take care and we will speak to you soon x

Mentobe Birmans go to Stud

2010-02-16T13:23:00.000-08:00

Hi all,
sorry it's been a while we have had major computer problems & still do, so please bear with us, this update comes from my notebook..

On a good note both Rio & Miu Miu have been to stud, so fingers crossed there should be more Mentobe Birman kittens due very soon. So watch this space.

As for the Siberians, Illy is on full call now, but she will have to wait till later in the year, + Pushkina should be ready later as well.

On a show note Illy now has her 4 merits, so sadly her show career is now over, however her son will be out soon.. so again watch this space, it should be an other exciting year.

Take care & speak soon.

Well thats it folks, all the Kittens have now gone to their forever homes (to use Jo's phrase) with the exception of Mentobe Mr Brightside (Star) who is staying with us. The last 13 weeks have been great fun with lots of highs & we hope all the babies settle in their lovey new homes.

So here's to our next litters, watch this space for details. :-)

New Kitten Pics

Well only 3 weeks to the kits go to their new homes....ah ! so here are a few new pics to show you how they are doing. Saying That we had to rush little Pushkin off to the vets last week as she went off her food. After a scan the vet found she had a bowel interception & had to have surgery. After 3 days at the vets she is now at home and doing really well, running around and eating like a horse. She had us so worried.
