Bozi is the
gentle giant I always imagined to be the King of our cattery. We adore this
loving, sweet boy. His playfulness and energy fill our home, and at night he is
quite the cuddler!
It is quite
interesting to see him go walking with Jerry on the harness, or should I call it
jogging! When Jerry gets up in the morning or comes in from work, Bozi is
instantly aware that “It’s WALKING TIME!!!”” He goes to the front door and
calls. If that doesn’t work, he calls more loudly and reaches up to where the
harness is hanging. And if that doesn’t work, he goes for jingle-jangling the
door harp and the lock on the door – all while calling to Jerry, “Lets go
WALKING!!!”” Well, who could resist such a plaintive meow!!! Jerry latches
on the harness, and opens the door, and they’re off!! Bozi is so excited about
getting out there to chase squirrels, he can hardly contain himself! The
current record is scaring five squirrels up the tree during a single walk!
We owe a huge
debt to Lisa Vasa for entrusting this darling boy to us! Bozi is the father of
all of our litters, and he is such a great dad! He licks their
bottoms and teaches them to wrestle, and offers them firm paw if they get out of
line. Love this amazing boy!
The Girls
Norgeskaukatt Tyre of SassafrasKat
“Tyre”
(pronounced Tyoo’-ruh)
Breed: Norwegian Forest Cat
Date of
Birth: May 22, 2005
Father: CH
Elkington’s King of the Road
Mother:
Tigra De La Cachouteba
Sex:
Female
Coloring:
Silver MacTabby w/White
Tyre came to
us from far across the ocean, England to be exact. She speaks with barely an
accent now that she has been in the US for so long. But don’t let her origin
fool you into thinking this is some moppish young maiden. On the contrary, this
is one of the only fourth generation wegies you are likely to come across
anywhere in the world, bringing with her the instincts, strength and raw power
of a jungle cat, or in this case, a forest cat. She moves like a jaguar, but on
the inside, she is sweet and loving to a flaw.
We booked Tyre almost
the moment we saw her. We are overjoyed with her and her special wild feral
looking expression.
An absolute
beauty with a wonderful temperament, lovely type and good strong size.
Thank you so
much Lorraine for our special Lady Tyre. Tyre is the mother of Litter 2 -
The Cat Nipped Castle Kids and Litter 4 - The Leap Year Litter.
Norgeskaukatt Skadi of SassafrasKat
Skadi”
Breed: Norwegian Forest Cat
Date of
Birth: October 15, 2005
Father: CH
Elkington’s King of the Road
Mother:
Norgeskaukatt Drifa
Sex:
Female
Coloring:
Odd-Eyed White
As weird as
this may sound, Ms. Skadi was custom ordered for me. This beautiful snow cat is
the absolute heart of my soul! Once we had secured Tyre from Lorraine, I
happened to mention to her that my dream kitty was an all white,
odd-eyed wegie girl with lots of spunk and personality. Tyre had not yet
shipped from England, and Drifa was expecting a litter. So we decided to wait
to see if my dream girl might, indeed, be on her way! Delivery day arrived, and
sadly, there was only one kitten in the entire litter, but it was white. So we
waited. And we found out it was a girl! I was overjoyed at the news, and
booked her immediately! And when we found out later on that she was also
odd-eyed and had personality oozing out her pores, I was over the moon! Squeak
(as we call her) is my girl through and through. She is quite a handful
sometimes, demanding that I quit typing on my computer and talking on my phone
so SHE can snuggle in the crook of my arm for a few minutes of loving. Of
course, I am butter in her paws, and comply completely because she’s my girl!
In the middle of a stress filled day, she seems to sense when I need to be
forced to take a break, and she helps me do so. Amazingly, my blood pressure
goes down and I find my happy thought as I listen to the symphony of her purr in
my arms. Is there anything better?
And what a good little momma she has turned out to be! She is the mother
of Litter 1- The Irish Cupboard Kids, and Litter 3 - Kingdom of the Snowbabies. Again, my sincere appreciation to Lorraine for helping
me find my heart of hearts, Ms. Skadi Girl!
Our Other
Kitties
Captain Bigglesworth of SassafrasKat
“Biggle Bug”
Breed: Persian
Date of
Birth: October 28, 1998
Sex:
Male
Coloring:
Silver Shaded
Biggle Bug was
our Christmas present to ourselves in a year overshadowed by remodeling a
century-old Victorian farm house. What a welcome sprite of energy amidst all
the dust and disorder! I had read about how very loving Persians are, and how,
many times they become lap-cats, but nothing prepared me for this lover boy.
Even now, when there is an opening on my lap, here comes Biggs! He is the only
cat I have ever known whose eyes reflect back an amazing shade of azure blue.
All the other cats reflect red or green. That color alone assured me that this
little guy would be sweet, gentle, and loving.
