Some Changes....

We have decided to scale things down for a couple of years whilst we complete our extension and building work so we have neutered Storm, and found him a lovely pet home and we have also spayed Star, who will be staying here with us as a pet.

There is too much disruption going on in the house to have calling and matings and kittens being born so we decided that it would be better to spay Star, who was calling constantly and to neuter Storm who we knew would settle down beautifully as a pet before he became established as a stud.

Paddy will still be a working stud boy with a local breeder friend of mine so he won't be getting too frustrated and Cleo and Ruby are still very young so I don't need to even think about them being mated yet.

As such, the next Woodside kittens will not be born until at least mid 2012, if not a little later depending on the girls.

Los Gatitos Espanoles - Malia's kittens at 7 weeks old

I haven't updated for a while as these kittens are keeping me super busy! Mum still has no interest so the weaning process has been a very slow one to make sure that their tummies can cope.  They started on Lactol and boiled chicken and we have now progressed to Applaws kitten biccie and boiled chicken and applaws kitten wet meat. They are growing beautifully and are super affectionate and confident.

I have attached a few photos of them but they aren't the best quality as these kittens refuse to sit still for more than a second!

All of these kittens now have lovely new homes to go to when they are 14 weeks old

Los Gatitos Espanoles - Malia's Kittens at 38 days old

It has been a tricky couple of weeks as Malia has unfortunately stopped feeding and caring for the babies. I have taken over and luckily the kittens are happy to have me as their substitute mum and are thriving. They are eating very well, putting on weight and are litter trained too.

Here are some photos taken today, as well as an extra one of Pacifica doing what she does best - making a lot of noise!  Enrique is available.
