Greta's kittens went to the prom this week.  They had lots of fun.  As you can see they dressed up quite nicely.  The
boys were perfect gentlemen and the girls were the bells of the ball.  They ate too much, danced every dance,
laughed until they cried, stayed up past their bedtime, slept in late the next day and were cranky in the morning.  What
a time!!
This page is set up like a blog with the latest news on the top and the oldest on the bottom.  So if you want to read
them in order start at the bottom.

Buttons is from our own breeding of Tucker to Cecily and captures the best of both parents but surpasses them in
eye color.   She does the cutest song and dance routine in the kitchen when asking for cheese or turkey.  We almost
always give in as she is utterly irresistible.  Her love of laps is insatiable and she is the master mind behind the Lap
Cat Wars.  It is like she has a magnetic attraction to laps.  Whenever Buttons witnesses another cat get on a human
lap she must then attack them to remove them from the lap and place herself there instead.   Somehow she is under
the disillusionment that she is second in command under Cassie Lane.  It is clear to us that she has well thought out
plans to eventually rule us all.  We will not admit to her being spoiled, in the least bit, because she is the baby of the
house, as that would be unthinkable.  But really who could resist that face?

Hobby:  "Chasing little glowing flying saucers in the middle of the night."
Motto:  "All I need is a warm lap."
Goal:  "To make Lap Cat Wars an official sport in the Olympics."

Public Service Announcement-

The kittens have won the Spring Competition of the Lap Cat Wars.  Buttons (who rigged the competition by
generously paying off the judges) is not a happy camper.  She is currently searching the rule books (being herself the
writer of them) to find a loop hole.  She has been heard muttering under her breath, "Why do I have to follow the rules
if I wrote them?"  The kittens are proclaiming, "We are innocent!! We cannot help it if we are more adorable than
Buttons!!"

We will let the public decide.  Here are some photos to help in your decision:
Birkin (Cecily X Knightly)
"I DID NOT CHEAT!!!  I
repeat.. I DID NOT
CHEAT!!!"
Trixie (Cecily X Knightly)
"I tell you, I am the picture
of innocence."
Freckle (Cassie Lane X
Knightly)
"Buttons should just relax
more, REALLY."
Apollo (Cecily X Knightly)
"Greek gods never lie."
Tubby (Cecily X Knightly)
"I may be implicated in unrolling the toilet paper
all over the bathroom but I had nothing to do with
rigging the Lap Cat Wars."
Puff (Cecily X Knightly)
"It is possible that I bent the rules, but
only a LITTLE."
Daisey Mae (Cassie Lane X
Knightly)
"I can only speak for myself,
that I am fully trustworthy.  
But those boys over there
are capable of anything."
Jolly the Pirate Cat (Cassie
Lane X Knightly)
"It IS following the rules when
pirates cheat.  Arrr!!!"

Results of the Summer Competition of the Lap Cat Wars:


    !!1st Place Winner!!
Tink worked hard this summer
jumping on laps and licking us
every chance she got.  The
other two winners were not
good sports and did not
congratulate her as they
acted very catty about her win.
     2nd Place Winner
Lacy's win was a surprise to
all as she is never demanding.
She just slips onto a lap
without a lot of notice.  
Therefore she earned most of
her points when no one was
looking.
   3rd Place Winner
Buttons has sadly resolved
herself to the fact that she is a
third place winner this quarter
of the Lap Cat Wars.  She is
considering revising the rule
book very soon.

Results of the
Fall Competition of the Lap Cat Wars.  This season we are spot lighting some of our new, up and
coming breeders.  Most of our older queens were busy with raising kittens so it gave the younger girls a chance to
gain points.
   !!1st Place Winner!!
Trixie is from Cassie Lane and
Darcy.  She has her mother's
smarts and her father's loving
nature.  She also adores her
Aunt Fudge and is her
apprentice, working hard at
learning all the obnoxious
skills Fudge has to teach.
      2nd Place Winner
Introducing Pixie.  We were so
excited when Cassie Lane and
Darcy produced not one but
two beautiful girls for us in one
litter.  With her doll face and
long plush coat Pixie is a
pleasure to have on our lap.  
       3rd Place Winner
Tessa is from another cattery
and so was not sure what to
think of our busy household at
first.  She has gradually
worked her way closer and
closer to our laps and hearts.  
She mostly sits on one of our
legs so she can be called a
half lap cat.
