Sorry for the wait

It's been a few days since my last update, Kimba has officially moved in with Nahla, took her bed with her too, so Eeva gets Kimba's pen.  Nahla's blue boy failed to put weight on for a few days, he didn't lose any either so I topped him and a few of the others up, all of the babies are doing very well, Moms are doing great too, I leave their pens open all day so they get to have a run round the house but mostly they stay with their babies.  Kimba did a swap with one of Nahla's baby - her red boy for Nahla's red girl, think she was just testing me. 
The picture below left is what happens when you put a faux fur blanket on top of the pen and Helga Huflepuff is around!!!!
The picture to the right is an amazing breakthrough for Eeva and Kimba, as they don't really get on, Kimba went for a visit and there was no hissing or growling at all, Eeva fluffed up her tail a bit as she was unsure of Kimba's intentions but she just wanted to check the babies.

Helga dives on the pen
I won this moses basket for £7 off Ebay, I had a change of covers washed ready for it while I wash the covers that came with it, put it on the lounge floor and Kimba has claimed it for her daytime bed, she loves it, the babies have started peering over the top which is so cute and very distracting when watching TV, but watching them is better.

With Kimba's gang taking more than half the moses basket and flopping all over Nahla, her gang is none too happy when it comes to feeding time.  The video is a bit dark as I filmed it last night with my camera.

Kimba moved out

26/9/2013

Yesterday Kimba decided to move into to Nahla's pen and took a kitten with her, I put her back and she did it again as you can see, this is her - 'well come on Mom bring the rest please' face.

Of course I complied and as you can see Nahla was okay with this, a little confused at first though but they soon settled down together and the babies were all happy.   A few hours later Kimba got back into her bed and sat there looking at me - well I know her well and knew it was time to move the babies back to her own pen, anything to keep them all happy, the babies were all fine and all had gained weight as usual

Princess Luna & Uncle Oliva

24/9/2013

On form this morning she is, already been across the curtain pole several times, Chesta tries to get her through the glass, Helga is darting around the house chatting away with Luna on her tail, Simba is still snoozing in bed and the Moms are relaxing with their babies happily watching the 2 lunatics running in and out the room.
Oliva is quite unsettled today, he stays with his nephew Chesta, who is getting a little frustrated and has been chasing Oliva around the room, no harm has been done as Chesta is far too nice to hurt Oliva, but he has had enough, now here's my problem, Princess Luna turns into the crazy cat from the depths of hell when Oliva enters the main house, she's fine when he's behind the glass and poor Oliva who is such a gentle soul just wants a quiet life so he is now happily relaxing on my bed, I actually manged to sneak him up there past Luna.  I just checked on him and he was so happy bless him.  Chesta is all alone like poor Donkey from Shrek, he's okay though I can see him fast asleep on the scratch post, I'll put Oliva back in with him tonight as I don't like leaving the boys on their own for too long.

Newborn page has been updated with pictures from yesterday and weight progress chart has been added to.  Eeva's si-rex baby is the last to open her eyes, she is featured at the top of the newborn page.  With nothing else to report, I have washing to see to, with 3 litters and beds to change every day there is always a huge washing pile here.

Cat Show day

Bucks Oxon & Berks Cat Society Show with the East Sussex Cat Club

Hekta was so well behaved during the journey, chatting to us all in the car.  I set Hekta into his pen next to Jago, Hekta wasn't at all bothered by Jago next door.  Off we went for a couple of hours whilst the judging took place, on checking the results board Hekta was unplaced in the Bucks Oxon show with a Cornish Rex taking the grand and another Cornish having 2nd place but the Reserve Grand was witheld.  The East Sussex show Hekta had a N/J next to his name, after having a mini heart attack and thinking the worst like he was ill or had sprayed with Mr Hanson with 'odour de Hekta'!!! I enquired about this with the show manager who very kindly went to find Mr Hansonn to establish his reason for not judging, he had looked at the wrong pen where the cat next to Hekta had been withdrawn, he apologised and said he would repeat the judging - the result was tippex over the N/J on the slip and Hekta was unplaced in that show too - at this point the 'odour de Hekta' thought was becoming more appealing - with the same 2 Cornish taking the Grand and the other being placed 2nd but the reserve Grand was withheld, now this was the same 2 Cornish but the judges chose opposite ones for the grand and W/H on the reserve - make of that what you will but how one judge can award a Grand and another deem the same cat unworthy by withholding the reserve in the other show - makes no sense to me at all and shows how inconsistent the judging is.  
I had advice about Hekta and as he is young he still has plenty of changing to do and his head should widen which should balance out his longer nose, which I do like but a lot of judges are preferring the more European type Devons, me I'm all for bringing back Kirlee with his straight profile, my Chesta is in that case a perfect original Devon Rex.
Now enough of the whining, I had a lovely day with Emma and Jay from Rexiru, whose crazy Daisy did exceptionally well again, gaining 2 Grand Premier CC's and BOB, she is one exceptional Devon Rex that is flying to the top and that loves the attention and struts her stuff in the pen, when we got home though she stole Mr T's new toy bird and slapped him for trying to take it back poor boy.  
I met Gem Crazy cat lady and Jago who also had a fab day winning 2 CC's and BOB's and even that had to be sorted because of judging again I must thank her for agreeing to do all the reporting for the foreign results and let me off the hook I was far too rattled to concentrate.  
After 2 weeks at home with babies it was so nice to get out the house but I did miss the babies and Sam had done a wonderful job with her friend Jade

Show preparations

Quite excited about getting out the house for some fresh air tomorrow, it's been an eventful 2 weeks.  My Daughter is on kitten sitting duty tomorrow for me.  The feline I have entered in the show who will remain nameless as you are not allowed to advertise who you are taking to a show in case the judges see it.  So the feline has been showered, claws clipped and cleaned, ears dewaxed, nose picked lol and told how special they are and to be on best behaviour tomorrow at the show and during the journey with Emma and Jay and their feline entrant.  I am looking forward to coffee and chicken sandwiches, cake of course and catching up on all things Devon Rexy.  Bag is almost ready with the vaccination card the last thing I always find.  I am reporting on the foreign results for the show so they get put on the GCCF website as quick as possible.

Nahla is happily settled in her Mamas & Papas moses basket, she and her babies look well cute too, I have to say her babies are huge.  I was looking for her Daughter Helga Huflepuff this afternoon and found her with the help of Luna Lovegood.  She said she was only keeping the other end warm for the babies bless her.
Eeva is very happy with her basket too, I was a bit worried as this one didn't come with a hood but she doesn't seem bothered at all.  As Kimba has a fully enclosed heated bed she doesn't need a Moses basket yet and her not so little girl had a few things to say about it.
All the babies continue to gain weight at every weigh-in which I am so pleased about, the Moms are all happy and healthy and each have a run round the house when they want which keeps Luna & Helga happy too.

Finally Eeva's babies
With no top up feeds required the babies are doing very well, as you can see Kimba's have started to open their eyes it's great to say hi to them when they do.  One of the Si-rex girls is a bundle of fluffy chubbiness weighing in at 50 grams more than the others in her litter.
Nahla's 3 are all wrinkly and soft, the blue boy is quite loud and all 3 are gaining weight very well.
Eeva's babies put around the same amount of weight on, and are so far a quiet and content bunch.
The lounge has been taken over by cat pens but as long as the Moms are happy so am I - spot the moses basket I won on Ebay for £7, I am drying the bedding and one lucky Mom and babies will be going in it tomorrow - don't worry I won another one for one of the others too, it's a winnie the pooh one, I couldn't resist.
