Hi Cindy,
Bess went with me to Houston for Christmas to see my aunt, and grandma. Grandma just fell in love with her. She's become an experienced traveler, though she still doesn't like car rides.

Good Evening Cindy
Just wanted to give you an update on Ace since bringing him home, and to share a video and a few pictures. It took a few hours for him to get comfortable but has since really showed us his playful personality. He is so adorable and such a well behaved kitten. He's eating really good and doing great with the litter...not one accident yet:) He and the kids are getting along well and Kirsten is spoiling him rotten!
Hope you enjoy the pictures and thank you for the wonderful addition to our family!

Hey Cindy,
I wanted to give you an update on our sweet Millie. She has been such an Angel and is feeling more at home every day. As you know, she turned 3 on February 13 and we celebrated at how Blessed we are to have her! She's been to her first Vet visit and was absolutely perfect. Scott and I appreciate all you did to help make her transition go smoothly. We can't thank you enough for making us feel so welcome. We weren't sure how adopting an adult cat would be, but with your guidance we've done great!! She has totally stolen our hearts!
Love,
Kathy and Scott Broome
Mable wanted to say hi and show you how big she is getting! She loves playing with all my tags from my new clothes. She is the best cuddle buddy and just the most adorable kitten ever! Thank you so much!

Good Morning Cindy!
I wanted to give you an update on Purl. She is doing really well in sunny California! I could not imagine a better kitty. She is such a sweet girl who loves to cuddle and purr. She loves going under the blankets when we sleep at night or laying her little head on my hand if we are sitting down. It seems she has stopped growing and only her hair is getting longer. She is a nice silver color and has a little bit of light cream or coffee coloring on her little legs.
Everyone loves Purl. She probably gets more visitors coming over to see her than I do. haha. She is so beautiful and she loves to run around the house! She greets me every time I get home from class unless she is napping on my bed. She loves to talk to me in the mornings and sometimes it seems she is yelling "moooom" if she sees something she cannot have.
Maybe one day I will get her a playmate but for now I am enjoying having her all to myself.
Hope all is well at the Cattery!

Hi Cindy, I thought I would send y'all a Hello and an update on my beautiful love Benz. He is doing wonderful and runs the house.He is obsessed with flashes of light of any kind and loves flash lights...my crazy boy! He loves to sing and talks up a storm to me. He keeps me company with everything I do....sits in sink when putting on make-up, sits on side of tub when bathe and sink when washing dishes. And learned if he gets up on tip top of cabinets via counter then fridge he can see and watch everything we do in kitchen. Bottom line he is so spoiled.....I love him so! We have even thought of getting him a playmate. I think we have decided on one of y'all beautiful Munchkins. I will keep watch on your babies.
Thank you so much
and God Bless,
Lisa Gregoire

An Excerpt from a wonderful letter and pictures from the Henderson Family who made one of Callie's kittens part of their family last year:
Hi again. Here are more pics of Ripley. I would also like to tell you how much we love her. My ENTIRE family absolutely LOVES her. She is the best. She entertains us so much. My dad (her paw paw) who isn't a cat person even enjoys having her around. I don't know if you remember but I was so afraid that her and 'the boys' (our dogs kids) wouldn't get along with her. Well I wanna say, I sure didn't need to worry. They welcomed her right into the family. Sometimes I think she believes she is a dog herself. She likes to lounge with them, as shown in the pics I'm sending. She plays with them. She will 'stalk' and chase them. She'll hide around the corner and wait for them to pass before jumping out and 'attacking' them. She really likes playing with our older chihuahua. He is the white one in the pictures. They like to play chase. He will bark at her and she'll take off with him in tow. And if he doesn't follow she'll come right back to him in attempts to get him to follow.

I just wanted to tell you Phineas is doing great. We really love him. I think he might think he is a human baby is he so spoiled. :)
Gabrielle drew him a picture and he laid on it and went right to sleep.

Good morning!
I thought you might be wondering how your grandson Lucius is doing. He's a very happy kitten. Extremely affectionate and likes to be wherever I am. He waits for me to shower and sleeps next to me at night. He's especially affectionate in the am when he's hungry. He often wakes me up by licking my cheek. I've taught him a few tricks, he can circus bear and he likes to fetch his toy. Kind of unusual for a cat but he really enjoys it. Thank you again for my sweet boy! Here are a few pictures.

Another happy ending to the question:
"Will my new kitten get along with my pets that I already have?"
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and we have lots of pictures just like this one, Most of them taken within a couple of weeks after our kitten has arrived in their home.
"By the way, I adore him! He's small, just like you said. He's even shorter than my girls are. And his fur is heavenly! My sister says he's probably going to be her favorite and that she wants one just like him, lol. Even my grandmother, who doesn't really like cats says he's beautiful."

(An Updated Status Report I received this morning from Divinity's new family)
"Cindy, I thought you should know Divinity is still working his charm on everyone, including guests. I had a friend stay at my house over the weekend, and all she could talk about was how wonderfully sweet my cats were. Especially Divinity, lol. I did warn her she'd fall in love. "He's such a beautiful cat! And such a sweet boy, too. He's my favorite. If he wasn't yours, I'd steal him." The cats are all best friends. They run and play together all the time. My mom calls them my pack. Divinity and Minerva get along great, but it's Kana he's closest to. They sleep right up against each other and often eat together. They're something else. I would have never suspected the one who had the hardest time accepting him is the one he'd be closest to."

"Hi Cindy.
How are ya'll doing and hope all your babies are just perfect. I wanted to send you a few pics of Benz, they are not very good but you can see what we're up to. Benz is doing fabulous! He has adapted very very well! Benz has become my bed mate while Scott is at work, He loves sitting on laptop and chatting with daddy with me.
And he just loves his new sister Maggie, they play very well together and sometimes nap together. Benz loves to be held and to sleep on me how ever he can get..... He is perfect and we are enjoying him so much! Thanks so much!
God Bless, Lisa Gregoire"
"Hey Cindy,
I just wanted to thank you again for sending me Walter. He's absolutely perfect. He's eating well, using the litter box, snuggles with my other cat, purring and playing nonstop, and is just an all-around great kitten. The fleas fell off and haven't been back after his capstar and bath-- I think they must have just hopped on him during his flight like you said. Here are a few pictures of him... I love him so much already.
Thanks again,
Dave"

"Hello Cindy,
Just wanted to write you a quick note to let you know our new kitten Mildred "Millie" is doing well, she is such a joy and pleasure to have her in our family, she is eating well and loves to play, but best of all she is so sweet and lovable she melted our hearts quickly and everyone that comes over just loves her too, Our older cats are enjoying watching her play and love her too, Millie is bit nervous around them still but she is getting to know them still. Thank you so much, she is just what we needed to lift our spirits at a difficult time.

"Hi Cindy, this is my Schatzi.
He loves laying like this!
He's been such a pleasure to me.
He was one of Charlie's born on 4-4-11.
( which happens to be my birthday )

"Hi Cindy..Just to let you know that Schatzi is such a wonderful addition to my family. I've so enjoyed him the past month. Thank you for doing what you do to bring joy to so many people! I'll email pictures soon..Carlotta in Alabama"
"Hi Cindy. We made it home fine. After about 30 minutes after we left he calmed down. I got him out of the carrier and he rode in my lap the rest of the way. He's an angel!!! Already took over the house, explored everywhere. Used his litter box fine and is eating. He loves to play.
Thank you so much. Carlotta"

Just want you to know how much we love our Baby girl I have never had such a lap cat and love and kiss on you so much. She had no problems getting use to the house at all. Very smart little girl. My grandaughter is in love with her and when she is here she sleep with her and loves on her the same way. Thank you so much for such a well cared for kitten. The love you show them from birth till leaving shows so much.
"Just to wish you all a Merry Christmas. We are doing good and Belle is so spoiled it's funny. She gets in my arms like a baby and put's her paw on my face and just lays there. if I stop touching her she put's her paw on my hand so I can start again. Had the family over for early Christmas and my sister-in-law wanted her so bad she fell in love with her. I will send you a copy of the papers when the holidays are over and things calm down. Once again thanks (The Ordoynes)"

"Hi Cindy,
Remember me and Vincent? Just wanted to say hi and give you an update on my sweet little boy, Vincent. He is such a lovey dovey cat! He's very close to me.... Every morning he always gets in our bed and climbs on top of me and purring. Actually he does that often as well throughout the nights. I absolutely adore him!!! Here's his latest pix from last week with his best buddy, Chloe (they both depress when I'm working outside in the garden :}~
Best regards,
Wivinna"

"Hey Cindy
I hope you enjoy the pictures! I was trying to work and she was up on my desk wanting to play, and of course I cannot tell her no so I took a break and we played for awhile and then she "pooped out" and is sleeping on my desk. I love her so much and Emily and Hannah too. We have had so much fun in the last week with her. You raise the most amazing kittens. I'm making a list of my family and friends who want one of your kittens!! They are so impressed with Ava they want one of their own!! She wins everyone over as soon as she meets them!! She is such a ham.
Thanks again for such a wonderful addition to our family!!! Enjoy the pictures!!
Samantha"

"Hi Cindy,
I just wanted to thank you again for letting us come see Ava, and also letting us play with some of the other kittens. I still can't believe I have finally found a kitten that I can have and hold with out sneezing, watering eyes and itchy nose and skin. I am definitly a cat person and I have been looking into cats for people with allergies and I would highly recommend your kittens. As I said I came to your house (and even with a lowered immune system) I had no problems not even one sneeze. I can hardly wait for the next 2 weeks until we can finally bring Ava home.
Thanks again for raising such wonderful cats and kittens. I would highly recommend your cattery to anyone. Emily and I are already discussing our next kitten we want to get from you.
See you in 2 weeks,
Samantha"

"Hi Cindy,
I want to thank you for your email and suggestions. I think Hershey was just still getting used to her surroundings and still getting to know us when I wrote that email expressing my frustrations that she did not want to be held. She now loves attention, snuggles up close to me in bed at night and will allow me to pick her up and cuddle her, especially when she is tired. She has a wonderful loud purr which we hear when she meows for attention and then we pet her or pick her up. I had forgotten how great kitten entertainment can be . . . she is just so much fun to watch. And, she is so incredibly cute!! I never knew that she had a butterscotch colored (calico) ear . . . her markings are incredible!! We all have quickly fallen in love with her.
Anna and I went over to visit Lori's white kitten this afternoon since this was Lori's first 12-hour work shift away from him. He is doing great. He was very happy to see us and purred quite a bit when we picked him up and kissed him and played with him. Like Hershey, he is so cute and very sweet!! I think he will be much happier when his nonstandard sister arrives on Saturday. I know Lori is thrilled that you allowed her to get her.
Thank you so much for putting up with all of my questions, requests for photos, dealing with the whole travel ordeal, etc., etc. I greatly appreciate everything!!!! I will try to send photos sometime soon.
Take care,
Beth"
"Hi Cindi,
Thought I would take a minute to say a great big "THANK YOU" for the wonderful tender loving care you give to the kittens born at your cattery. Having visited I can say that each and every kitten gets attention and love before they go to their new homes. The kittens are so healthy and very well prepared for their new homes, which makes it almost impossible to go home with just one! Tessa our sweet baby is such a joy! She has given us more laughs and love then you can imagine. One of her favorite things is jump in your purse or backpack. She lets you know she wants to go with you. We have to double check what we heading out the door with otherwise we find ourselves with a stowaway! We love Tessa so much, we decided we needed to bring home to more kittens from your cattery to add to our family. Honey and Hershey are going to be a wonderful addition, and Tessa is also going to love having some new playmates! I will have to send you pictures of all three once we get them all together. Thanks again, Jeanene and Ashley Genusa"
"Scooter has been the best. She has made herself a member
of our home. thanks again for a wonderful kitten.

"Hi Ms. Cindy,
Just wanted to let you know we're doing well:) We love both of our kittens soooo much! I've attached a picture of Alex holding Chloe and Beau last night. Congrats on your new kittens! They already super cute!
Thanks,

Hello Cindy,
Just wanted to send you an update about the little girl we call Josie. She is doing great! She is the sweetest kitty in the world. I think she thinks I am a kitty because she is always giving me kisses on my chin, neck and ears. When she sleeps I can tell she is really comfortable because she sleeps on her back with her little paws down by her sides and when you life her paws up and drop them they fall like shes in a deep sleep. She is so cute and she is getting bigger by the day. I will send you some pictures when I can catch her in her really cute sleep mode. She met a friends dog the other day and looked very confused by him. The hair on her back stood up and she was growling at the dog, it was pretty cute. She runs around the house like a maniac sometimes chasing her tail and shadows. She even has her comfy little spot on the couch looking out the window when we leave the house, and when we come back she is standing up at the glass door looking out as we arrive. She really is the biggest sweetheart kitty I have ever had, and she likes everyone!
I just wanted to thank you again and send you an update. I will send pictures soon.
Thanks again,
Jen"
"Just keeping you updated on Mr. Tobi, he is a far cry from the little bitty kitten we picked up from you place. He weighs almost 9 pounds now, Mikie and some of my friends gave me grief about him getting bigger, but I don't mind his size at all ;-).. I really can't believe how much I love this cat! He has the best personality, and his interactions with our dog Chloe are hilarious! I have interacted with several cats but not one like Tobi, he is such a joy and I can't thank you enough :-) Maybe one of these days we can add another cat to our family :-)
Hope all is well with you!
Timathy, Mikie, Chloe, and Tobi"

I just thought that I would let you know that you may use me as a testimonial/reference. If anyone would like refer them to my e-mail.
Buchi has become a VIK (very important kitty) of our family, as you know he is just a beautiful cat, so lovable and just a pleasure to have! Working with you was a pleasant experience you answered every question, sent wonderful photographs while waiting for him to come of age to come home and made my first on-line purchase of a family member a comfortable one, I would highly recommend your cattery to anyone wanting a new kitty.
Thank-you for everything and here is a photo (I have many to choose from) as he is very photogenic!!

"Hi Cindy, I wanted to give you an update on Tigger. He is so loveable and friendly! I take him to doggy daycare sometimes and he makes friends very easily. Of course, I protect him from any dogs that are not cat friendly. Erin gives him lots of love and he is glad to be carried and petted. He loves to eat , too. He will come when called since it usually means a little treat. He is a bit doglike in that way. Thanks for helping us receive one of the best gifts in the world, a little friend for life. Keep up the good work.
Sincerely. Carol and Erin"

"Just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying Susie, the gray Napoleon, I got from you. I should have named her “Sweet Sue” since she has such a sweet personality. With the plus that I can hold her while wearing black. I never knew there was such a thing as a long-haired cat breed that doesn’t shed.
Everyone that holds her falls in love with her. Especially when she lets them hold her like a baby in their arms (which she loves).
Again, thank you for introducing me to this breed and, especially, Susie. She has stolen my heart.
Sincerely,

"Hi, We just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for Raimey. He is so wonderful. He is rambunctious, playful, a complete joy to have around. He even gets along with our dog! He especially loves to play with her tail. It's hilarious! So far, we've had no problems. He was fully litter-box trained from the first moment we had him home. He has adjusted with no problems. Again, thank you so much. We love him!
