End February 2012 kittens are due from  Gr Ch Tilsim dan Vincent van Gogh & UK & Imp Gr Ch Stacym Quintessence so please keep an eye on Available Kittens

2^nd January 2012, Gr Ch Tilsim dan Vincent van Gogh & Gr Ch Stacym Tantalite Temptress kitten has been living with her new family for nearly a week. Many thanks to Bianca & Peter for giving her a loving home with Nala & Simba

I will have more kittens at some stage so please keep an eye on Available Kittens

26^th September 2011, Gr Ch Tilsim dan Vincent van Gogh & Gr Ch Stacym Tantalite Temptress had a single usual daughter. An interesting breech birth as TT jumped into my arms before the final push. Mother & daughter both doing well. See Available Kittens to see her grow up

13^th August 2011, I think they've done it. Gr Ch Tilsim dan Vincent van Gogh & Gr Ch Stacym Tantalite Temptress have mated successfully. She's got pretty big pink nipples. So all being well she'll have their kittens last week of September & they'll be ready  for their new homes at the end of the year. I've been ages without kittens so its VERY exciting! Way to go Vincent & TT!

5^th June 2011. Sad news - it looks like TT has re-absorbed her kittens.. She is well & showing no signs of any problems though she's having antibiotics as a precaution. She & Vincent continue to smooch & play happily together & hopefully I'll have exciting news soon.

30^th April 2011, I have exciting news; I think they've done it. Ch Tilsim dan Vincent van Gogh & Gr Ch Stacym Tantalite Temptress have finally managed to mate successfully. She's got pretty big pink nipples. So all being well she'll have their kittens early June ready for their new homes early September.
