This is a friend’s Devon Rex cat, sat in a round window. She is an example of the longhair variants the breed can produce from time to time.
Another of my friend’s kittens. The mottled effect is because she’s a tortie-point. Her eye colour here is absolutely wonderful.
This kitten was bred by a friend. I love it’s expression and huge ears.
I visited my friend Barbara whose Siamese cat has two adorable kittens, a boy and a girl. About the only time they are ever still enough to take photos of, they are asleep. This is the boy. He had been gradually falling asleep and trying to fight it for some time, but eventually he drifted away and I was even able to
Saffi is a seal-point Siamese bred by a friend.
Max and Minnie were brother and sister littermates. Max is still with me (2017), but sadly I ended up rehoming Minnie as she became a bully and a menace to younger cats. She went to an absolutely wonderful home with Steve.
Meena is another of Barbara’s queens, daughter of Cara. She was looking so relaxed in the cat nest and her blue eyes looked stunning.
After a week and a lot of snow clearing I was finally able to get the car out again. My friend Barbara breeds Siamese and Oriental cats, and her original queen Cara had some kittens, and she had entered one of her other cats in a show, and I saw able to make my long-planned visit.
The kittens, of course, were utterly adorable. Willow was a little boy, not particularly typy, but a lovely cheeky little lad. I looked up, saw him looking down and me and snap – there was another photo.
I was visiting Barbera as Cara had a lovely litter of kittens. I walked in one morning and three of them were beautifully lined up! I pressed the shutter before they woke up and started creating mayhem! They are all seal-point.
Spotted Minnie posing regally on a cat bed, and she let me take this image. Her expression is absolutely her – an iron paw in a pretty thin velvet glove. Minnie rules! BTW she’s an Oriental Black and came from Amun.
