The Big Day!

So the Royal Wedding has come and gone - what a marvellous spectacle it was. Britain at its best!  

It's time for a kitten update.  Sadly, things did not quite go according to plan and only 2 kittens survived of the 5 born.  These are a boy (chocolate) and a girl (brown).  I'm still not 100% sure of the patterns but I think the boy will be ticked and the girl silver shaded.   They are very pretty :)

Here are some recent photos.

There's some news of an anticipated Burmese litter too -  Cherry (lilac) and Errol (chocolate) are expecting babies around June 14th (chocolate or lilac are the possible colours).  Errol is the boy I imported from France last year and this will be his first UK litter.  He is only very distantly related to Cherry,  so this is a very nice outcross.  I'll post further updates soon. The 2 Asian kittens will be available to new homes in June -  I've decided to stop breeding Asians for a while until I can bring in some "new blood" -   for the last few years I've wanted to breed Burmillas specifically, but my current cats don't seem to want to co-operate!
