TICA - RW SGCA Musrafy Altai

Just wanted to post some photos of Altai which were taken last week - He's not the most co-operative of 'models' - but we managed to capture a few shots. Taken in natural light - which there wasn't a lot of - without flash -

Booster time!

Well, we are busy right now - its Booster vaccination time - so Ataman was first yesterday - and he behaved like a real trouper. No fuss - just lolling on the Vets table, being a complete idiot - so laid back - a great patient.

Today - it was Kirov and Altai - well - Kirov just thinks the Vet is for fun - and he loves it. Throws himself all over the table, at the Vet wanting cuddles and just being a soppy lump. Perfect patient. Altai - well he did his routine of being a 'hedgehog' trying to curl up in a ball - however, he managed to be coaxed into a more relaxed position - and again - a good patient.

So - they have had their full health checks and their boosters - and so they can relax!

Next one - Darya - but ssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - don't tell her!!

Chantaris Cats - loss.

In the early hours of this morning, our little rescued girl - Heidi (14 yrs) - slept peacefully away. She is now at 'Rainbow Bridge. She had been diagnosed with a tumour - and her kidneys failed. She is 'at peace' - and will be buried later today in the peaceful corner of our garden, beside Louis our Bengal who died so tragically last year age 7 with Lymphoma, and our Viki - who died from a PE - 3 years ago today.

They are now reunited - and will play again - watching over us.

She came to us and weedled her way into our elder sons heart - and today she's broken it. Her companion from the Shelter - Elja - is meowing round the house today - in search of her lifelong friend. Its so sad.

Love Always Heidi

We have had a wonderful year - and send our warm congratulations to everyone who has shown a Siberian over the 2009-2010 season - especially to our friends both here in the UK and overseas. Its not just about the winning, its about taking part, and being part of the wonderful family which is TICA.

Happy First Birthday - Darya!!

Well, today Darya is celebrating her First Birthday!! We'd like to wish her a very Happy day - and she clearly feels that careering around the house chasing her friends is the 'way to go'.

Its amazing to think that last year at this time she was just born - and that at that time - we'd no idea that we'd have the priviledge of owning this lovely girl.

We wish her a very Happy Birthday -

It's Official!

Well, its official - we have Title Confirmation - and we are very proud of her - having only been in UK now for 8 weeks -

TICA CHAMPION MELDGAARDS DARYA DARINJA

Well done - and enjoy your 'fun in the sun' - where she is lolling around today - happy as can be.

We've got super sunny weather - hopefully its likewise for you - wherever you are.

Have fun!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIROV - 3 TODAY!!

Well, its Birthday Boy Kirov - 3 today. He's having a relaxing day - having spent the earlier part of the day in the cat run lying in the sun - but now he needs a sleep - and is curled up on the Catrix.

Its lovely to look back at photos and see how he has developed - and matured - and to be honest - he still seems just like a baby. He's brought us so much happiness and fun - and we wish him a Very Happy Birthday.

His crazy bike photo is back on show again - as its one of the funniest things he's ever done.

I hope everyone has a lovely day.
