Pictures from owners (2) 

I am absolutely delighted to say that because we now have so many pictures from owners, I'm starting a second page, so those sent before January, 2006 will be on the first 'Pictures from Owners' page, and those after that date will be on the  'Latest Pictures from Owners'.  But please do have a look at the old 'Pictures from Owners' page too - there are some wonderful photos there and I'm proud just how well our kittens have become part of their new households.  

It's very important to us to keep in touch with the owners of our kittens, and we very much appreciate the lovely pictures that they send us of kittens we've bred, so we have dedicated the two pages to them:-)))))  I will start a new photos page from January 2007:-)))

Thanks so much to Andrea for this lovely picture of Betsy - she's looking her usual cheeky self LOL!

 I was thinking that this page has got more than enough pictures on and I need to start a new one soon, but couldn't resist adding this one above from Adam, of Frolic on top of Jasper's cage, and Leo underneath.  I wondered if they were planning their Christmas dinner:-))))  Many thanks Adam for the brilliant photo LOL!

Many thanks to George and Glenda Fleetwood for this beautiful picture of Charly:-)))

Thanks so much to Lea for these beautiful pictures above of Billy, Anbini, Zahraa, and not to forget the lovely sleeping Ian LOL!

 

Betty and Lolli have become firm companions now:-)))  Thank you Jo-Ann for the lovely photo and update:-)))

 

Just three days after Bettyboo has joined her new family the two cats are eating together.  Bettyboo looks very impressed with the toys:-)))))  Thanks Jo-Ann for the lovely photos and updates:-))))

 

Many thanks to Jo-Ann for sending these lovely pictures of Betsy, now known as Bettyboo, just after she arrived at her new home and on her first night. It didn't take her long to find the comfiest spots LOL!

I've been thinking about putting up comments from owners for a while now, so decided that I'll include some of them with their photos, starting with an e-mail from Sandy and family in Japan who Caprice went to:

"She's really amazing.  We had no idea that cats could be so fun!  What is really surprising is her personality.  Most of the cats I've ever come in contact with were very anti-social to everyone but it's owner and I had no idea that cats could be so social and affectionate.  To have her always around us while we're going about our business is really fun.  It really makes her part of the family because she's interacting so much.
She has such a fantastic personality and is really fearless and we're so happy to have her!"   

There are several pictures of Caprice with her new family below, as well as the one above.  Many thanks to Sandy for sending the pictures and giving permission for me to put her comments on our site:-))))

Guerlain is always happy to go off to bed now since Caprice sleeps with him:-))))

What a fantastic picture of David and Sullivan watching Caprice as she sits on the computer keys LOL!  She is absolutely where she considers she should be - the centre of attention LOL!

Kathy, thank you so much for the beautiful picture of the three Merrydancer Oci's with their companion - don't they all look so happy together!  What a brilliant photo.  Did you bluetack them to the sofa to get them to keep still?:-)))))))

 The two pictures above of Caprice were taken three days after she arrived in Japan - I think we can say she's well settled in LOL!  Sandy, thank you so much for the amazing photos

It was so wonderful to see this picture among others of Caprice, the day she arrived in her new home in Japan.  Thanks so much Sandy, for the updates and photos!  It's wonderful to hear that she's settling in:-)))

 What a brilliant picture of Nancy, fast asleep LOL!  Well, she deserves a rest, she's been doing so well at shows, with a Red Card Day (means all Firsts) at her latest show - see her results on the Merrydancer Show Results page.  Many thanks Sue and Paul for the photo:-)))

Zola, you are such a poser LOL!  Big thanks to Nikki for these brilliant photos!:-)))

A tender moment - Anbini and Zahraa sleeping together.  Thanks Lea for the lovely photos again:-))))))

Lea, thank you so much for the wonderful pictures of Zahraa, taken the day after she went to her new home:-)))))  These two were my favourites:-)))  She looks beautiful!  And VERY settled.  For those who are wondering, Lea also has Anbini and Billy, who's pictures grace our pictures from owners pages:-)))))

Thank you so much Kathy for the lovely pictures of Mikkel with Jack and Angel and with Frodo.  Frodo looks as though he's thinking 'But I liked that bear!' Bless him!:-))))  Wonderful to see how Mikkel has settled in:-))))  Thanks so much for resending the pictures - I've no idea why I couldn't open them the first time.

This wonderful picture from Adam is of Frolic on her harness in the garden.  Many thanks Adam!

This lovely picture is of Betsy, belonging to Andrea, having sweet nothings whispered in her ear by her companion:-))))  Many thanks Andrea - it's lovely!

Big thanks to Sue for this wonderful picture of Nancy with her new friend, a lovely black silver Mau:-)))) 

Adam thank you so much for this amazing picture of Leo (was known as Kolo) with Frolic, the day after Leo went to you.  It's absolutely amazing to see them bonded in one day:-)))  I'm delighted:-))))  Thank you!  

It's hard work going to a new home, say's Bailey above, and see Bailey below:

 I just love this beautiful photo of Chevy (known as Bailey) taken the day after he went to his new home with Olivia and Justin.  Thank you so much for the photos Olivia!:-)))

 Some of our kittens are musical LOL!  Many thanks Adam for another brilliant photo from you:-))  Frolic is obviously enjoying herself!:-)))

 Sue, Thank you so much for these incredible pictures of Nancy and Bo.  These were taken very soon after Nancy met Bo (you can see by her size that she's still a little kitten, although he is one BIIIIG dog LOL).  It's absolutely wonderful to see them!

 Some of our kittens go on to be athletes, above, while others prefer to develop their computer skills (see below).  Thanks so much to Andrea for this lovely photo!  I should explain that Betsy is lucky and has a totally cat proofed garden, to keep her safe and other cats out. 

Thank you so much Adam, for this brilliant photo of Frolic keeping an eye on her friends who are still here, but going to their new homes in a few weeks time (from a later litter).

Thanks Lea for this lovely picture of Billy sunning himself on his second birthday.

Many thanks to Tim for this lovely picture of Tsyuki and Cocoa (was Kazzie, from Lottie's litter, as Frolic was, below).  It's brilliant to see them settled together so quickly.  The five days 'rule' seems to virtually always work, that the new one is integrated with the established cat within five days.  Sometimes it can be as little as 20 minutes, but usually up to 5 days.

A huge thank you to Adam's mum, Chris, for taking this spectacular photo of Frolic, very comfortable on Adam's head:-)))))

Thanks  so much to Adam for these wonderful pictures of Frolic, who settled so quickly in her new home and in Adams bed:-))))

Kathy (Pantin) thank you SO much for these fabulous pictures of Jack and Angel!  They are growing up so beautifully.  I'm delighted to see them.  It's hard to believe these are 6 month old kittens!  It's incredible that there were three show cats in one litter (the other was Faith who went to Switzerland and got Best in Show at her first show):-))))

 Many thanks to Lynne Gower for giving permission to take this lovely photo of Merrydancer Willow and Merrydancer Carioca (Kylie) off her site:-))))  Kylie has kittens of her own here and that's one of her beautiful babies with her and Willow.  Lynne, don't they both have the most gorgeous eye colour!

This beautiful picture is of Kerry, Simon and Whispa at Kerry and Simon's wedding:-)))  Millie, their Ocicat girl, couldn't go because she was home pregnant:-))

 And here is Morsel looking very beautiful:-))))  Debbie, thank you very much for the picture:-)))

 

The two pictures above are of Rosie and Layla.  It's wonderful to see them having grown up and looking so beautiful!  Thank you so much Rowan for the lovely photos!  Rowan commented on the photo of George and Billy below - they look so much like Layla and Rosie, and all four kittens were from the same litter:-))  Layla loves to sleep on the laptop too:-)))  Jenkka, you did produce a wonderful litter there!

 The three wonderful pictures above are of Billy and Georgie!  They've grown up to be such handsome boys!  Thank you so much Lucy, for the photos:-)))

For those who have been thinking 'Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?' Here he is LOL!  Big thank you to Chantel for the beautiful pictures showing what a handsome lad he's grown into!:-)))

Many thanks to Andrea for this lovely picture, above, of Betsy at her first birthday party:-)))

Thanks Trine for these brilliant pictures of Merrydancer Jessica who went to Norway:-)))  Jessica is babysitting in the photo above and below, Jess looks very pleased with her 'catch' LOL!

This is Merrydancer Faith, with her companion Dusty, looking out of the window in Rene and Justyna's home in Switzerland.  Thank you for another wonderful photo Rene:-))))  Faith recently went to her first show, the International Cat Show in Switzerland, and was Best in Show!

 A Big Thank you to Kathy for these lovely photos of Angel and Jack.  They look wonderful Kathy!  These two are litter brother and sister to Merrydancer Faith, who got Best in Show at her first show - the International Cat Show in Switzerland.  What a litter!

Thank you Andrea for this gorgeous picture of Betsy, fast asleep:-))))  She looks VERY comfortable:-)))))

 

 See below for the picture of Kylie one day earlier:-))))  Then here she is with her beautiful babies!  Thanks Lynne, for the photos!

Thanks so much to Lynne Gower for this lovely photo of Merrydancer Rondo (known as Willow) and Merrydancer Carioca (known as Kylie), taken the day before Kylie was due to have her kittens.  Hope it all goes well Lynne:-)))

This lovely photo of Anbini and Billy was taken by Lea Knipe, when Anbini became a Grand Premier!  Well done Anbini and Lea.  We're currently waiting for a very special Ocicat girl for Lea to be born:-)))

 Thank you to Rene and Justyna, for these wonderful photos of Justyna and Merrydancer Faith, who we were delighted to send to Switzerland to live with Justyna and Rene.  We can see that she is very much loved:-))))

 Thanks to Andrea for the lovely picture of Betsy with her companion Rockit.  I promise Betsy's bottom isn't really as big as that - it's the angle of the photo:-))))

Merrydancer Majik, owned by Robert Dunlop.  This little boy has done so well at his first show, being nominated for Best Foreign in Show.  Well done Robert and Majik and many thanks for the photo Robert!

Big thank you to Jemma and Mike Bowen for the picture of Merrydancer Alma, above.  She has grown up into such a gorgeous girl!  She looks very much like her mum, Annie.

We don't breed Tonkinese anymore, but this amazing picture from Kerry is of Whisper, a boy that we bred.  Kerry, are you telling him a joke?:-))))  Thanks so much for the picture:-)))

 

 The two beautiful photos above are of Billy and Georgie - don't they just look angelic LOL!  Many thanks Lucy and Paul for the photos:-)))

 These five lovely pictures, sent from Rene and Justyna in Switzerland, are of Faith, on the first day in her new home.  It didn't take her long to get settled and she's enjoying playing with her new friend, Dusty.  LOL!
