Sleekats Cattery | The home of the Russian Hairless cats known as the Don Sphynx (Donskoy) & the Peterbald

Donna,

I had just finished giving Jonathan a bath tonight, and just before I put him to

bed, I found this little scene :)

Jonathan, drowsy and ready for night-night, and one loudly purring Bailey

on his lap :)
I wished I had grabbed the camera earlier this evening, I caught Bailey

grooming my dog's ear!

(I think I have to discourage this practice though....I don't want to have to

explain to a vet how my naked cat got a hairball!)

Hey Donna,

Here are some pics. I was about to send you my whole file of pics but I thought maybe

that would be tooo many!!! But Here are just few.

Ceasar is very spoiled and everyone that comes over won't let him go!! Especially my

son who is here for the winter break.

Well, I hope you and your family has a great Holiday!!

Talk to you laters,

Yoon

Hi Donna,

I wanted to update you on Peachy's condition, as she was spayed this morning. The doctor

and staff said she did wonderfully during and after the surgery. I was able to pick her up at

3:30 and once she had something to eat--poor little girl, she was allowed nothing after 8:00

PM last night :-( ,and she was starving when she got home--she went promptly to sleep on

my lap, which is where she is as I type with one hand :-)

I also received her official certificate from the TIAC in today's mail, and Peachy is officially

Sleekats Peachy!

Bath time was a bit improved having a few inches of water in the tub. Thank you so much for

telling me how you do it so Peachy can continue to get bathed in the same manner--less stress

for her.

Peachy continues to win the heart of everyone who meets her...my daughter's boyfriend is enchanted

with her (even though he is allergic to kitties)...he seems to have less of a problem with Peachy

because she is bathed so often. My oldest grandson, who is 9, spent the weekend and had such

a great time playing with her--because he has twin 6 year old brothers, their family cat is less interactive,

as their kitty spends some time hiding from the twins who aren't as gentle as they should be (I haven't

gotten to the stage where I will have either of the twins for the weekend like I do the oldest :-) ). And

my next door neighbor, who is not the world's greatest fan of kitties, has fallen in love with Peachy because

she is so sweet and gentle. My husband, is the most smitten of all with her--and is so protective that when

we took her to the vet the doctor made a comment about it <lol> She is of course, my little baby girl, and I

so much enjoy her company--she and I do cooking and sewing together :-) I recently purchased a really

cute pattern for pet pj's, which I will make out of very light weight, pastel colored, narrow striped, polar fleece

fabric for Peachy--she does get chilly some mornings--I'm sure she will look adorable in them!

That is all I have to update today. I hope all is going well with you, and the new kitties, who were one

day old babies when we saw them the day we came to get Peachy, about three weeks ago. I'm sure they

have grown a great deal since then :-)

A million thank yous once more,
Jane

Thank you thank you thank you for giving me the bestest little kitty in the entire

world! I absolutly loooooove her to peices!

She has been wonderful from the time I brought her home.

She got car sick on the way home that night, but she was fine once we got

home.

She has adjusted very VERY well to her new home. She is such a cuddle bug

and loves to be held!

Today is my first day back at work so it's the first day she will be left home alone

for a long period of time. I had all last week off, so every day, I would leave her

alone a little bit longer so she got used to me not always being around her. She

would be fine, I would get home and she would be sleeping or playing with her toys.

Hopefully when I get home tonight she will be ok, but I think she will be fine.

I will keep you posted on her progress. Thanks again for everything!

Love,

Julie and Olive

Hello Donna,

Just wanted to let you know that little Belle settled
right into our family. She's conquered the bed. Our
other sphynx doesn't really know what to think. Little
Belle is fearless chasing the other kitties. She's
either in turbo-mode or curled up sleeping.
She's really bonded to us too. She makes my husband
feel special. Right now she's sleeping on his chest ;)

Thank you again for taking such good care of her. We
really appreciate all your efforts in getting her here
to us. We are already in love. I will send you some
pictures of her in her new surroundings.

All the best,

Jen Kenmore, Washington

Sorry we havent really kept in contact, but i wanted to let you know how much we LOVE him.

This is Tim and Mandy from Manchester NH, we are the proud parents of Tinker. We picked

him up in February I think. He is so awesome and crazy too. His personality is one of a kind.

I tought him to climb up our pant legs, and then up our shirt and sit on our shoulder, he

loves to sit on your shoulder when you walk around. He is my best friend, im only working

a few hours a week so we hang out all day, he likes to ride in the car alot too. Him and our

other cat get along excellant. He is the most affectionate animal i have ever met. He dosent

seem to mind his weekly baths. We have a schedule, once a week he gets a bath, his nails

clipped, around his fore skin on his nails cleaned, and his ears if needed. He falls asleep when

i hold him like a baby and clip his nails, its incredible. Well enough said, here are a few pics

of him now.

Imp is my 'little buddy'. He goes with me everywhere.

He has a little stuffed fox named Eevee.

She goes with him everywhere. There is no greater

feeling than waking up in the middle of the night,

with him curled up around my neck and when he knows

I'm awake, he starts to purr.

He's definately a character. I bring him to work with

me during the day. He loves riding in the car.

When we pull up to the parking lot, he jumps up

to look out the window - and noticing where he is,

he purrs and paws at the door. I put his leash on

and he trots in waiting for everyone to greet him.

He gets carried around by everyone. He eats in the

dining area with employees. He believes that

everything that could possibly fit in his mouth

is edible. Except orange juice.... he doesn't

understand how I can drink that. He truely is an

amazing cat.

Thank you for bringing him into my life.

Buckley is tough to take pictures of because he almost never sits still.

He loves getting into everything, and his new favorite toys are my slotted

spoons. He'll wait until I'm not paying attention, slip into the kitchen

and steal them out of the drying rack. He's been nicknamed "Kleptoboo"

(everyone's taken to calling him Boo) by my friends for his habit of taking

things from one end of the house and hiding them in another. If it goes in

the bathroom, he'll put it in the kitchen. The plastic spoons that I use

for his food end up in the shower. His most impressive feat though is when

he drags one of the stuffed animals I have (which is about three times as big

as he is) from one end of the house to the other. I haven't figured out why

he does that, but it's certainly funny! When I can't find something it's

"Kleptoboo strikes again!"



It's not all petty theft though, he's a very good snuggler. My mother

absolutely adores him. Everytime she visits he spends the night laying

in bed with her. 


 

 As you can see, he's definitely

part of the family. I don't think that you can tell, but he's lost

a lot of his fur, he's now mostly covered in just a little bit of

fuzz. 

Thank you so much for my sweet baby!

Hi Donna,

My mother is still interested in getting a velour kitten when one
 becomes available, prefferably a girl. I was just wondering if you could
 email me and let me know if any new ones are born. Emmly is still
 capturing everybody's hearts. My mom keeps buying her new sweaters for winter,
 she fits in XXS dog shirts. She's still got a bit of fur on her too.
 I've attached a picture of her for you. Thanks again for my wonderful
 kitten, I don't know what I would do without her.
