We would like to share some of the correspondence we get about our kittens

Hi Mum and Dad and Robbie and Ashley also,

I know its been a while since I last wrote to you all, but gee have I had a big year!!!!

 I am growing really big now, and Dad says that I am also eating him out of house and home!!! I am now eating about 200gms of Scotch or Eye Fillet and ½ cup of cheese each day.  Madison also fills up my biscuit bowl each more, and Mum now buys me the Royal Canin Maine Coon Formula.  I don’t really drink much kitten milk any more but Mum empties and re fills my water bowl 3 times a day.  Madison isn’t aloud to fill it up because she spills it everywhere, normally when I am rubbing myself against her leg.

I got a new sister this year.  She is a Doberman named Jeddah and we love to play to together.  Sometimes my new mum yells at us to stop and sends us to our bed, normally after we have broken something by running around and through the house.  We try to be good but at times it is just so much fun that we can’t help ourselves.  Our brother Tyson doesn’t like to play so much any more, he recently turned 15 and just wants to lounge on his bed most days and sleep.

I am getting excited about Christmas coming and my family tells me that if I am good Santa will come to me also!!! I hope he brings me some new toys!! Madison says he will because he makes them at the north pole.  Mum also says that maybe I will get another new sibling soon, as she thinks that maybe I need someone else to play with besides a Doberman, that is more my size. 

 Well I better go, I have attached some new photo’s of me for you and Merry Christmas!!

 Love Always

Hi Robbie and Ash

 Hope your are both well

 We were just wondering...........................you see prior to August we had leaves on our Chinese Lucky plants; water in our fountains; Feng Shui crystals placed in the appropriate places around the house; feathers on the dream catcher above our bed; curling ribbon still in the balls ready for wrapping gifts; clean white paper in the printer without teeth marks and paw prints; clean glass in the china cabinets; CDs stored in alphabetical order; my pillow actually belonged to me; and being able to eat a fritz sandwich without paws grabbing at it is now a thing of the past.  (She turns quite feral with fritz..........). 

So what we are wondering is how do you manage a Christmas Tree each year?  I have suggested to the family that drawing one on the window with Santa Snow might be the only viable option given how ‘busy’ one particular Maine Coon kitten keeps herself during the day. 

Buying her a novel and exciting Christmas present will be quite the challenge

Hi Other mummy Robbie,

Well, here I am – settling into my new home and getting the hang of things.  It took me a couple of days to get to know everyone and work out where I fitted in but I have fitted in….there were almost no hisses or growls when I came home.

My brothers have been great – Saxxon has helped me lots – I’ve never met someone so wrapped up in food (except maybe me!).  Atticus has been good to me too –he’s pointed out lots of the rules but Saxxon and I have played a lot and made up our own rules.

My other brothers and sisters seem to like me – especially the little kitten Vixxen…..she’s so small and cute.  We play a bit rough with her sometimes and have to remember she is tiny compared to us.

I am still a wriggle pot when picked up but am getting better – its just that there’s so much to see and do.  Daddy Alex is reminding me about the show pose as I have some shows coming up. 

He’s still muttering something about Atticus’ coat and how he looks like a woolly goat and how glad he is that I have a “Tip” type coat – whatever that means.  Although I think dad and Atticus are tied at the hip given the way they hang out together so it can’t be too bad!!  Atticus chirps and trills a lot and I do a little…the rest of the Coonies don’t seem to do it much – Daddy says its because Atticus is top cat.

Thankyou for finding me such a cool home and a nice bunch of brothers and sisters – my new mum and dad are pretty neat too.  I miss some of the kittens, especially Bearcat, but my new family are looking after me and I am having fun.

Gotta go – heard someone get some tins of food out – must be dinner time……

Lots of love

Hi Other Mummy Robbie,

 Time for an update……..

 I am still teething which is sucky.  I tried to sneak it past daddy but gotta give him credit, he knew something was amiss.  I have 2 sets of upper canine teeth at present (not sure why a cat has dog teeth but dad said this is just what they are called).

I am still a wriggle bum but am spending lots more time snuggled up to dad. When he sits on the lounge chair, I sit on the arm and rest on dad.  I like this.  Dad calls me DT which I like – I don’t like it when mum does though so she still calls me D’Artagnan.  I also spend time sitting on dad’s desk with him or in a cat bed just under the edge of his desk.

 Dad said I should tell you more about how I am getting on and what I am up to.

 -          I love food.  Any sort is my favourite and I often get in trouble for standing in dad’s or trying to steal mum’s.

-          I love my brothers and sisters.  My favourites are the other Coons plus the little Ragdoll – she is sooo cute.  Saxxon is probably my bestest friend.  He is such a goofy boy; he loves everyone and they all love him.

-          I am growing longer, taller and more muscular.  Dad said he will weigh me again soon and let you know.

-          I sleep in dad and mum’s bed a lot now; I often sleep on dad or next to his pillow.

-          I love food…..oh, I already said that didn’t I?  Anyway, I love the biscuits we get and the tins of wet food are great….bring it on dad and mum!

Anyway, have to run, dad is working on your website and needs the computer and he has just put another bag of biscuits down….gotta go.

 Love D’Artagnan the Great. (Luckycoon D'Atagnan)

Hi Ash

We were just saying last night that we must update you on Duke's progress.

Firstly I would like to praise you both for a remarkable job in 'socialising' Duke so well, he is the most 'kick back cat' - loves to be picked up & cuddled, patted, kissed, played with etc etc and he is always purring. He is praised constantly for just being handsome!

At times we think he is part 'Meercat' as when he hears an unusual sound he pops up on his back legs with his front paws dangling in front of him just like a Meercat, we get the giggles every time he does it and he sometimes lifts off his front paws just to meet with your hand for a pat on the head.

We have polished floor boards & rugs through most of the house so when he chases his balls with the bells inside, he sounds like four horses galloping around & when it comes to corners he usually loses the back end and skates around side ways! (as I am typing he is chasing the curser - he loves the computer). Out in our closed in verandah he has a 2.6 metre cat gym with 7 levels, numerous hidey holes, hammock, bed & posts, he tears up to the top at great speed & loves to soak up what little sun we have had on his hammock. In our family room he has another 2 large scratching poles that he practices his gymnastics on so we are entertained constantly.

Chris weighed him last night & he is now 3.2kg, he is eating 60gms of steak morning & night along with his normal diet. Just recently he has been splashing about with his water bowl, thankfully we have 3 large heavy ceramic bowls all full of water so he has a wonderful time.

Well I hope you are both well, we will send more photos of Duke & update you on his progress,

Kind regards
Duke, Trace & Chris
