Hi Nola,

 

As Annie left you said to her to be a good kitten... well she has been more than a good kitten.. she is the most well-socialized cat I have ever met. She has beautiful manners, she is so smart, exuberant, involved, trusting and loving.  She is utterly enchanting and we are going to be life-long loving friends.  

You have done a remarkable job in giving her the foundations for a happy life and I feel honoured to have met you and to have this little kitten in my care. The work you have done with her shows in a profound way.... what I see with Annie is not just the expected cuteness of a kitten... there is so much more with her..... another dimension entirely.  You said something when we picked her up about thinking like a cat and you truly do that. I have been thinking about that a lot because to see that in action was an amazing experience. Annie has astounding confidence in people and that is because you taught her that people are kind. Not every kitten begins life with this gift. 

These cats are a tribute to your wisdom, your passion and your love. I can't tell you how happy this little kitten has made me. She is everything and more than I expected. I did not know that cats could be like this. She is such a gentle soul and that is because you gave her a life where it was safe for her to be so. I have never met anyone like you and I will remember Sunday for the rest of my life. Your cats and cattery are such a testament to you on all sorts of levels. It is a rare experience to see someone get an endeavour so right ... sheer detailed excellence and integrity. You steadfastly advocate for your cats.  I have been talking about you at work all day.... it was like stepping into a novel... like a character out of a book..... Dickens and so many other authors would have just loved you ..... really beautiful. 

Words do not do justice for my admiration for what you do and what you stand for. We will send you more photos but here are some to let you see that she is settling in. She is beautiful in every way.... we can't take our eyes off her. The faces of the Ocicat are mesmerizing when seeing them in person. Love to all the cats and to sweet-natured Georgia.

Hi Nola,

Just a quick note to say that Katandra is really doing well.  She is a very affectionate cat (when SHE wants to be).  She has been cuddling around my neck while I have been on the  computer.  Cannot believe she is 12 months old today.  Time goes so fast.  She has been helping me wrap my Christmas presents!!   Likes the bows.  I will send a photo of her when I get round to it.  Have a lovely Christmas and New Year.  Sounds like you are going to be busy again today if your new litter arrive on time.

Thanks again,  Pauline, S.A.
