So many dreams came together for this kitten. We wanted Flare to eventually make a red boy kitten (of which she made not a single one in her breeding career). We purchased Carrot as part of a dream of breeding a red girl with Flare, until we discovered that both of them were PRA carriers. We prayed to the litter gods to Flare to get an Oriental (non-Siamese) kitten from her nearly all Siamese litter, and got our beloved criminal Brows. And when we bred Brows to Carrot, we dreamed of an all red litter and that rare thing, a red girl — which we got. Lava is a hot, flame red, rich and amazing, and brings with that great eyecolour, an increase in size over her mother and grandmother, and promise for the future. She has her mother and grandmother’s stupidly bold temperament and her father and grandfather’s sweet socialness. She’s a heart-stealer.
Lava is a red mackerel tabby Oriental in all registries. Under all that red, she’s a black tabby carrying chocolate and pointed.
The Q litter was a repeat of the N litter between Taffy and Frost, which included some wonderful cats, but lacked the bicolour that we wanted. Worry not, Qubit to the rescue! Although she’s not the cinnamon we wanted, she’s got a fantastic pattern and is a wonderfully clear coated lilac and white. She has her grandmother’s moderate earset, a great straight profile, and her father’s long, long, long tail.
Qubit is a lilac and white Oriental shorthair in all registries in the world.
The R’s were so nice we kept two! Cayenne and Frost outdid themselves with this litter, giving us an assortment of cinnamon and cinnamon carriers to make the next generations exciting. Rapscallion has her mother’s more European head and an elegant body and long long tail, plus lovely blue eyes. She also got a copy of her mother’s longhair gene, and will hopefully be the mother of one of our first fluffy litters. Her coat texture tends towards the exceedingly fluffy, so she’ll be a breeding queen but not a show cat.
Rapscallion is a chocolate point Siamese in most cat registries in the world and a chocolate point Oriental shorthair in some North American registries that limit ancestry of Siamese/Balinese cats to only pointed cats.
"If the drawers were pulled out from bedroom chests
And you couldn't find one of your winter vests
Or after supper one of the girls
Suddenly missed her Woolworth pearls
Then the family would say, "It's that horrible cat!
The R’s were so nice we kept two! Cayenne and Frost outdid themselves with this litter, giving us an assortment of cinnamon and cinnamon carriers to make the next generations exciting. Rumpleteazer has her grandmother’s moderate ear set, her father’s great body, and her mother’s great colouring. She’s improved on her parents in several aspects and is currently trying out the show ring to see what she thinks of it.
Rumpleteazer is a cinnamon Oriental shorthair in all registries in the world.
The S litter (Red and Spotlock) was born just a bit before their great-great-great-grandmother Youngsmile passed away, so they were dubbed Stripeys in her memory. Sibyl is a very sweet, somewhat shy girl who has a beautiful head, her mother’s awesome liony torbie pattern, and a lovely body. She’ll be making her show debut this fall!
Sibyl is a black spotted torbie (sometimes called ebony patched spotted tabby) Oriental shorthair in all registries in the world.
"They're quiet enough in the morning hours,
They're quiet enough in the afternoon,
Reserving their terpsichorean powers
To dance by the light of the Jellicle Moon.
A repeat of our amazing PITA litter, Spotlock and Sync’s singleton daughter was worth the effort. She’s an absolutely stunning seal lynx point Siamese with a fantastic ear set, a great profile, and a wonderful body. Also, of course, the PITA personality, into everything, constantly screaming for something, and literally up your nose at all times. As a bonus, she’s also a cinnamon carrier.
