The slaves

Some photos of me and my daughter Therese and our cats :0)

(N)CarilloCat's Lucky Day, aka Summer (or winter?)

Summer is not very "typical sibirian" in colour, but she makes up for it all with her lovely sibirian attitude and behaviout. Looking at these photos we probably should change her name by the season and call her "winter" from august trough april. She suits both names ;0)

Another photo boom

Another photo of my love Taiga. I'm just so in love with this handsome boy, as my daugther put it: "He's looking so royal "

Summer is not easy to photograph. She's only 6 months old and still very playful. She will point her ears upright when she sees a toy, and then they look very out of place and too big on her. But this photo shows off her beautiful pattern. I also love the expression on her in this photo. So cute, but still a killer.

As I said above, a real killer...

But still so cute <3 align="left">

This is little Tiger, I wonder if Merja thinks he looks like grandad Gordi. Same colour, and so many other likenesses to his fathers side of the family ( doesn't like blitzlight and likes sleeping on his back like daddy). He is very found of me, since I am the main provider of special food for him. He is still much smaller than his siblings but is coming around really nicely now. I love his expression :0)

Rustique is the nicest "person" ever, she loves to cuddle and is a real purrball. She has beautiful coloring and a beautiful pattern.

Well, pretend you didn't see this one, she is a little rascal sometimes also ;0)

Ramp is and has been my all time favourite. He is so photogenic also.

To me it seems like Ramp is getting a much colder colour than daddy?

Eye-candy!

This is Kaos in front, with daddy Taiga and little Tiger in the back. Kaos is a big and strong boy already. It feels like a sausage when you pick him up, really stuffed and nice as a little sibirian shoud be

Boheme is SO LOVELY! I think she will be a real sibirian beauty. The photos doesn't do her justice, she is A LOT cuter in real life

She is cute as a doll

Blå Rock is also one of the fat stuffed guys, and he is very beautiful. He is always busy discovering something, I probably should have named him Columbus...

That's all for this time :0)

Thanks to my parents...

...who gave me a new lamp for Christmas and "brightened up my day", or at least my livingroom. I now am able to take more photos again. We don't have sunlight in winter here in the north of Norway, and I have been quite frustrated with my blurry catphotos for a while. Some of the ones I present here are blurry too, the cats don't always respond well to me running around in my livingroom dragging my new lamp behind me. Sometimes you just have to shoot then and there.

Summer decided to pose with Taiga on his favourite sleeping chair, and I just had to take a photo

Taiga is taking a bath. Isn't he cute?

Three of the kittens were different types of black, and three was different types of blue.
This are my "black-gang". Black w/white, black macrel tabby w/white and black torbie.

Here they are posing with their beautiful mummy

One of the few nice photos of Bagheera I have managed to shoot. Thanks to some more light she looks beautiful in this photo, and very much like herself. Sadly there is some clutter on her side, but when it comes to Bagheera photos I can live with that :0)

Kitten update - 8 1/2 weeks

Little Tiger out on a mice-hunt

The sisters Rustique and Boheme playing together

Rustique is also hunting mice

Ramp just wants some mummy-love today

Boheme and Kaos playfighting

Blå Rock, is a very handsome young boy

Peek-a-boo

Even Blå Rock gets tired sometimes

Bagheera is taking good care of my brodery. Hopefully her tiredness means she is pregnant

Happy new year!

From this year on I have decided to write this blog in English. The reason is I have noticed quite a few people outside Norway and Sweden visit my blog, and it would be nice for them too to be able to read about my cats :0)

This years first photomodel is IC FIN*Amante's King of Taiga. He is crazy about girls. He and my beaytiful IC S*Kazol's Bissan managed too fool me and made some litterplans on their own. Six kittens were born, but they will only be sold as pets.

Taiga has now made marriageproposals to a few nice sibirian girls outside my cattery, so he has to show off what he looks like. He doesn't like the camera blitz, so I have to photograph him without blitzlight. Thats the reason the photos are a bit blurry.

At my cattery we have exiting plans for Taiga. Hopefully he and (N)Gaupekatten's Frøken Norge (nickname Bagheera) will have kittens this winter/spring. Taiga is not spraying (nock wood), and is not at all agressiv towards the girls or us. If he keeps behaving this way he will also be mated to my youngster (N)CarilloCat Lucky Day (nickname Summer) at the end of this year.
