Mars litter 1 week old

Here comes the first photos of my last litter. It consist of two boys; one fawn and one blue.


They have got names from the planet Mars. The blue boy is Valles Marineris and the fawn boy is  Olympus Mons. Both boys has lovely colours already, and it will be interesting to follow them in the future.


Their mother, (N)Ororina's Masai Mara, has obvious lots of milk as they are sleepy and round as balls.

Greetings from Felicia

It's always fun to receive photos of cats from my cattery. Today, I received this photo of the owner of IP (N)Ororina's Felicia.


Felicia was born in August 2006, and her parents are GIC (N)Rødknappen's Dolly and IC (N)Rødknappen's Emil. She has been at a few shows, and nearly every time she has become NOM and BIS.

A postcard from the past


I have bought this postcard on eBay, and it's an old card of an abyssinian kitten.


On the sellers page it stands that this card is a childrens study photo postcard, and that it's from pre 1914. The text on the back of the card is in English and gives a description of the abyssinian. If you know more about this postcard, I would be happy if you would share it with me.

The text on the back of the card:
ABYSSINIAN KITTEN
Photograph from the Red Heart Album
Our picture presents a lively young representative of the up-and-coming Abyssinian breed, the nearest approach we have to-day to the cats which the ancient Egyptians revered as near-gods. Note the ticking on the body and tail which is a characteristic of the breed. Your perfect Abby, should show no white markings or bars of any kind but his eyes may be green, yellow or hazel. He is an affectionate fellow who gets on well with dogs. There is a certain "jungleness" about him and he thrives best when he is allowed complete freedom.
