Kitty business

My new baby kitten is probably on her way. :) The heat was on in the cattery of BigDaddy's as mommy and daddy of a fine quintet were combined to create another nice litter. I decided to have a pet/show level kitten instead of one for breeding as I'm only starting a Maine coon hobby. I got my dog, Iiri, for breeding despite the lack of experience with the breed, I guess that's all I need at the moment.

So the Christmas is over and such. It's unbelievable how quick it comes and goes and how few days it is for the peace and calmness. I got two presents for Lilli, the little den I spoke of in the last entry and a fishing rod. ;) I should get her more stuff, a tree and a feather toy at least. She has had a scratching post and has still, but it isn't that lot of fun as it's quite low and she only scratches it. I have planned to get a real tree trunk into my balcony and make a scratching tree of it myself, but there's a long way ahead.

I haven't got yet the enthusiastic fever of waiting for a kitten. Maybe it strikes when I buy something new for her. :)

Did life go on?

It's two months since Tasha's death. Life has been on its way back to track. I have moved closer to my birth town. I've been having a renovation going on in my new home. It's finally finishing. Lilli, my remaining cat, has been in the care of my mom as I wanted her to have a somewhat stable place to live instead of furniture wandering around, huge piles of cardboard boxes and walls to be painted. I guess I could have her here next week.

I miss Tasha still so much. Today I read my last entry in this blog for the first time after writing it. It was difficult. I have seen some photos of her. It's been so hard to realise that I couldn't have imagined her dead before the year end. What did I do wrong? When should I have acted? It's useless. It doesn't bring her back. One can only think that it shouldn't happen again. Try to learn.

I have started to plan a new kitten to the year 2012. It's probably a Maine coon from the cattery I have written about earlier. But we'll see. I don't know whether I want to breed them, a pet level kitten would do if not. But I'm quite sure that a kitten is in schedule for the next year.

I ordered a new cat den for Lilli for Christmas. :) She has never had one, I'm a bit nervous of how does she find it comfy. She's been seeming a bit lonely, no wonder. She has never really liked dogs but now she has started to bend. The puppies are still a bit too much for her with all that enthusiasm, but there are situations when she's perfectly relaxed in their presence. That usually can't involve more than one puppy. ;)
