Mother's Day

Today is Mother's Day! It's a wonderful day to show everyone how much you love and appreciate your moms. We thought we'd share photos of our beautiful kitty moms - Chloe and Mikayla.

Chloe

Chloe - Truffle and Beignet on June 2, 2011

Truffle's kitty mom, Chloe, is a beautiful silver shaded Persian with gorgeous green eyes like Truffle (this photo doesn't do her eyes justice). Truffle and Beignet (Truffle's littermate) were the first two kittens born to Chloe. She was a wonderful mom and took excellent care of her babies. I visited Terri's house several times both before and after the kittens were born. Chloe was a very elegant and beautiful cat. I remember visiting Terri's house the weekend after we found out about Beignet's cancer diagnosis and after his first surgery. I didn't know how Chloe would treat him with his large incision and the new smells, but she didn't let him leave her sight.

Mikayla

Mikayla with her first litter of kittens that included Brulee

Mikayla is Brulee's mom kitty and she is a beautiful golden shaded Persian. All of Mikayla's kittens in this litter were silver shaded Persians because the golden gene must be in both parents in order to have a golden offspring and Brulee's daddy cat was also a silver shaded Persian. I remember the first time I saw Mikayla when I visited Terri and I fell in love with Mikayla. She had this beautiful and soft golden fur and she was so funny. She had an outgoing personality (like Brulee) and was jumping and climbing all over the furniture and indoor "cage". Terri says Mikayla makes her laugh all the time and has a quirky littler personality like Brulee.

Grandma Faye

I'd also like to send Mother's Day wishes to my beautiful mom, Faye. She will be 83 years old next month and I think she looks amazing. She is my best friend and I'm so thankful to still have her in my life.
