Lilly's babies were born - Os bebés da Lilly já nasceram

They were born yesterday, 16th October. Three beautiful kittens, 2 males and 1 female. One of the males is red with white and the other one is black and white just like Lilly's grandfather, Durnik. The female is a black tabby with high white just like Lilly's mother, Kunjara. They're very sweet and beautiful and Lilly did very well for a first time mother, she doesn't stop purring :-)
Pictures will come as soon as possible.



Lilly as a kitten / Lilly em bebé

Os gatinhos da Lilly e do Xazul nasceram ontem, dia 16 de Outubro. Três gatinhos, 2 machos e 1 fêmea. Um macho vermelho com branco, outro macho preto e branco parecido com o avô da Lilly, o Durnik. A fêmea é preta tigrada com muito branco, uma cópia da mãe da Lilly, a nossa Kunjara.
São lindos e muito meiguinhos e a mãe portou-se lindamente na sua primeira experiência como mãe, ainda não parou de ronronar :-)
As fotos estão para breve.

Profunda tristeza - Deep sorrow


Recebemos as notícias mais tristes que um criador pode receber. O nosso lindo Monsoon, filho da última ninhada da Iris com o Felix foi para o Paraíso dos gatinhos. Este lindo e doce gatinho teve uma vida curta, mas feliz junto do Amândio e da Isabel que o adoravam. Estas são as suas últimas fotos.
Meu menino, espero que sejas feliz onde te encontres. Deixas-te muitas saudades. Nunca serás esquecido por nós, nem pelos teus donos que te adoravam.

We received the saddest news a breeder can receive. Our beautiful Monsoon, Iris's son from her last litter went to Kitten Heaven. This sweet and lovely kitten lived a very short life, but a happy one near his owners, Amandio and Isabel. These are his last pics.
My baby, I hope you are happy wherever you are. You are deeply missed. You will never be forgotten by us nor your owners who adored you.

Thanks, Patricia for the pics of this beautiful lady.

Sweet Gemma was born










Aqua tricked us. While nursing the last litter she got into heat and with Felix always around she got pregnant again. Last 25th July a beautiful, chubby red and white female was born. I'm totally in love with this beauty and I'm guessing she will be spoiled because I feel sorry that she doesn't have siblings to play with.

Aqua will enjoy a long term vacations from motherhood after this one, although she doesn't show any signs of weariness from being a mum two times in a row, she loves her kittens and is such a good a tender mummy.

Lyra is for sale again - A Lyra está de novo para venda


Lyra was booked for a new breeder here in Portugal with the booking fee paid, nothing prepared for what happened. After several attempets from our part to contact this breeder, she refused to talk to us. We will never know what happened, except that we have a 5 months old kitten waiting for a loving owner who respect her ...













A Lyra estava reservada para uma nova criadora aqui em Portugal. Depois de várias tentativas de contacto da nossa parte, fomos sempre repelidos, chegando a ser-nos desligado o telefone na cara. Nunca saberemos o que aconteceu, embora como criadores saíbamos que não é assim que se começa uma actividade.
A Lyra está há espera de um novo dono que a respeite e a mime.

Here we are again

Finally I decided to write a few lines again. My daughter, Leonor, is a handfull, so it's hard to get some time on my own.

Many new things have happened regarding breeding. Some more litters. Some dissapointements. Some surprizes. A new male is in our horizons. A new catrun as soon as we get some time. More plans...
