The Sound of Silence

All of Lily's and Luna's kittens (with the exception of one) left for their new homes the first week-end of August. The silence that remains is almost deafening. To say I miss them is an understatement, but I am content in the knowledge that they went to the very best homes I could hope for. I feel that I have gained new friends in the process and I sleep peacefully knowing that these little guys are definitely loved. There are 3 kittens in  Lacey's litter by Hershey that are almost ready to step up and fill the void left by the others. They have some big paw prints to fill but I am confident they are up to the challenge!

Update-New pics of Hershey x Lacey litter

By the end of this week-end the older kittens will all be sleeping in their new forever homes. It will be very quiet around here for a while.Thank goodness, Lacey's little boys are beginning to play and try to act like Mom Lacey and be "grown up" Devons. They are so adorable when they are at this stage. I am posting pics of the little guys at just 6 weeks of age. I hope you enjoy seeing them as they grow up!

New Pics of Litter #1

These pictures were taken on May 18 with the kittens a few days shy of 8 weeks of age.
It was a challenge to keep their individual attention while the others played. I found the miniature milk carton a big help in keeping each one temporarily confined.

Bibby

Although this blog is about Gaia Devons, I feel that I need to include the fact that my first purebred cat was a Cornish Rex named Gabby. I bought Gabby  not realizing that Cornish and Devons were entirely different breeds. After all, they both had large ears and short curly coats, but that is where the similarities ended. Gabby was eventually bred and produced 1 kitten which I named Bibbie. Mother and daughter were blue and cream patched. Gabby had too much coat for a Cornish and Bibby had none (talk about extremes!). When I decided to show Devons, Gabby and Bibbie were spayed but remained with me as pets.  Gabby is now 15 yo. Bibby never grew any coat, not even the soft down of a Sphynx, but she was still beautiful and extremely graceful. This week, I had to tell Bibby good-bye at the age of 13. I had so wanted to have both girls with me when I made my move to the country at the end of this month. My plan included a special screened in area for the cats to romp in the fresh air, see birds and butterflies up close and have the opportunity to climb a real (although short) tree. Bibby exited this world as quietly as she entered it but not without leaving footprints on my heart and endearing herself to all who knew her. RIP Li'l Bib.

Dobby2 Learns Foosball

The little boy Devon pictured in the litter available posts is now living in California with his forever family. He is learning new skills as evidenced in the following pictures. The first pic shows Dobby in deep concentration as the rules of the foosball game are explained to him. The second picture shows Dobby playing to win!

Cute Alert!!!!!

I repeated the breeding that produced Luna and Lacey (Ch. Raya Walking on Sunshine of Gaia x Gaia Chase The Rainbow) and was blessed with one little boy who stole my heart instantly. He is fearless, happy go Lucky, and gives 100+% in everything he does. He is a Free Spirit as well as a cutie pie (which he definitely uses to his advantage!). At the moment, I am thinking of naming him Gaia Little Rascal, but that may change. Only time will tell. Here's Rascal!
