Lillis has got a new Home

This afternoon Lillis was picked up by her new humans.

As you may recall, we have been very restricted and demanding when choosing a new home for this very special Cat of the Manx breed.

Photo taken Sunday, March 27. Nearly 5 Months old (Born Nov 3)

Lilli was born during special conditions: Breech Birth. Papa had to grip her back bones and pull her gently out. When out, we were convinced she was dead. But her Mother started to lick her and whatever a Mother could do to bring her newborn allive.
 
You can see and read about it here.
And she is as well only kitten. And a Manx.
 
I simply had to take some more photos of her, as we agreed upon the Day and Time when she would be delivered to her new humans.
We are convinced she will have a great life with them.
Her older sister (Marta) and brother (Manxen/Monsen) lives with and have a great Cat life with the girls  grandpa and wife in their house.

Lillis loved to play with her Aunt Rosa.

 
Here you see her new human friends. They have a 13-14 year old Male Cat from before, so we think Lillis will turn up his and his humans life.
 
Farwell Lillis. We will allways remember you;-)
We know you would have liked to stay with us, but we had to realize it would not have been the best for you.
Lillis you should know, Teardrops kept falling when you left… We wish you the very best in your new Home.

We hope to see Photos and have reports from your new Home and Life.

A true story about Cats and the Birth of a Kitten

 
Felicia told us for 4 Days ago:
I need help to have my kitten(s) - I'm overdue.
 
She was right. We had to help her.
It was a Breech birth.
Papa with his fingers gripped on one tiny foot and gently draw the kitten out in the air.
Papa admits: A challenge - A matter of life and dead.
 
I tell you, if you have never helped Birth
– a new life to start
- taking care of the Mother
If not:
– you have lost the most important moments of Life.

See the beautiful patterns - and it's a real Max

Papa is so overwhelmed - allready speaks and walks
– he can only pray for a good life for the newborn cat.

PS.It might be more kittens…

Stompa is back Home and Baby Vagabond's name revealed

Dear readers,
family and friends,

Last Saturday we had visitors.
Ingelin, Kaya, Baby Vagabond and Sölvi.

And Stompa was still in our Winter Home.
You are wellcomed to be a virtual visitor.

They came to bring Stompa, the Manx Cat, back home. Here in his favourite Chair.
10 years old he is.
He has stayed with us since early July. Both in our Summer House and in our Winterhome.
He felt more and more very well at Home with us and Felicia and Rosa.

Stompa was a very frequent vistor in our bed. And in the early mornings, mieoow, do you know what time it is? Hungry - U know.
He even told us when he wanted us to go to bed.

As usual, when we have visitors, we have to sit around the Family Heritage Table to join good food and beverages.

Baby Vagabond with typical Norwegian Tuque. Have you ever seen a cuter santa to be...
or? Santa is, as you might know from Turkey. Just read here.

Here is Baby Vagabond and Anna

Baby with boring Grandpa - Metin Leander preferred to sleep.
Yes, that's his name.
It means:
Metin is Turkish and means STRONG.
Leander is Greek and means: LION OF A MAN

What do you mean, when understanding the meaning of baby vagabonds name. Still strange and unusual, or did it help when explained the meaning_

Have a great week end to come.
I'm in Mariestad, Sweden. In RennyBA and DianeCA's leisure home.

Felicia got kittens again

Felica got 4 kittens on July 17 - 2009. After that she has stayed inside ever since, but for a few Days end of September. That was all she needed to get pregnant again even though she gave her kittens milk at that time. And before we could neuter her. If we did while she gave Milk, then she would loose that ability; which had meant a lot's of milking work for us - and when we were both at work during the days..... Nature ruled.

Last evening we realized something would going to happen. Felicia had only a very small portion of her regular dinner, Pollock. No more room for food.

At 11.55 pm it started. And at Midnight they start to come out, the new breed.

Here is # 1 and #2 while #3 is coming out.

This is #2

When we just fell asleep, 4 new kittens were born on the Floor just beside our Bed.

When we wake up this morning, it was 6. Two with Tails, one with a half Tail and 3 like most Manx: Stumpies.

And when I returned Home from work, there were no Cats in our Bedroom.
Hm, where could they be?

I followed the sound. Oh, yeah, they mieows all the time; the Kittens. Behind this chair.

So now they are here, behind a chair. Where will they be next time? Follow the Sound.

The Kittens will be around 4 weeks at Christmas, and Kittens are Kittens: No X-Mas Tree this year. To tempting for a bunch of kitties.

Cats on Tuesday - Sept 15 - 2009 Rosa

We have only one of our cats, besides Stompa, in the Summerhouse right now.
Rosa stays outside on the Roof. In the Autumn Sun.

Here she is as seen from behind. Controlling the hills. See her Tail? No - it's very short, as her mother was a genuine Manx.

Here you see her face - may be she will be on Facebook?

Both pictures taken with my iPhone 3G s

Kittens on a Tuesday

My regular readers do know we have kittens. But we do not see them every day. They stay at Solvis home. However, here you can see some photos of the very lively kittens.

Miuew - do you like us? We are the children of Felicia.
Here you see us with our wonderful mom Felicia. All of us. Do you see the one in the center of the Photo? A real Manx. Read about the breed here. I have had several Cats in my life. Of different breeds. Manx have become my favourite breed. Lot's of reasons for that.

mieiow . we like to play. We must be Twins. Don't you think?

Miauuu - this is really exciting playground.

Mieooww - did you find us in our secret hiding place.

Mieeeew - what are you looking at? Me?

Miuooow. Look at me as well. Even though my Mother is a Manx, well I do feel like one.

Do you think I'm charming? Well even after a good meal?
See my Tail? My Mother is a Manx. I'm a Manx too, even though I have a very short Tail.

Cats on Tuesday - August - 25 - 2009 - Kittens

My dear readers,
you my have noticed our Cat Felicia was mother of kittens some weeks ago?
Just before we went down from Norway to the South of France to a unforgetable blogger reunion.

Felicia and her Kittens were taken care of by Sylvi and also Ingelin.

This Tuesday, Anna and Papa did see the kittens for the first time since about a month.

Here is some photos (You know kittens are even faster than a Camera, so it was a very difficult task to present them here on COT).
