Hello everyone!

It has been a little over a year since Rufus entered our lives and we can't imagine life without him. He is truly special and his personality is bursting from the seams. He is playful and spunky and feels the need to hunt and pounce whenever there is any sudden movement. My guests have "never seen such a cat" as he is not even remotely shy when they come over. Within five minutes he is perched next to them waiting for interaction.

He is extremely active and loves when my alarm goes off...he is on top of me with a toy as soon as he hears it and pats me until I awaken and say good morning! He also loves his loving. When we get home, he lays down and rolls on his back for a belly rub. He also waits for one of my kids to hold him so that we can all give him a head and neck rub!

He still loves his food..that is the only time we get big meows...when he hears the can being open!

Have a wonderful New Year and know that we are thankful to have him and appreciate you breeding such a wonderful cat!

Thought you might like a quick update on "Rocky". He is officially a member of the family! You can see that he is already very comfortable and we are hooked on Siberians! We've discovered that whether on our laps or wedged between the couch cushions, he loves to sleep on his back. This experience could not have been more smooth so far. He was a little skittish for about 24 hours, but has had no problem with eating or using the litter box. He is now perfectly comfortable and follows us around the house. We've introduced him to our two dogs who love to chase rabbits and squirrels in the back yard, so we were a little worried about how they would react. Rocky stood his ground and both dogs seem to have a healthy respect for him. In fact, we scolded our lab a couple of times for being too aggressive toward Rocky, but soon learned that Rocky is a practical jokester! He snuck up behind our lab and swatted her tail and then turned and ran to hide behind Carol, peeking out at the dog with a taunting smile. It was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time! We're really enjoying him and I think he is enjoying us just as much.

I was looking at your website and thought I would add my "2-cents". We have two boys who are very allergic to "regular cats." When I read about the Siberian breed over 10 years ago, I immediately sought out a reputable breeder. We named our Siberian Nicodemus. What a great cat! The boys never once had a allergic reaction to Nicodemus and would often fight over who was going to get to sleep with him. Nicodemus was not allowed to go outside but every now and then would manage to escape. Two evenings ago, our daughter's friend's 2-year old let him out. We have not seen him since. So, in closing, if you love cats and deal with allergies...Siberian's are a perfect choice!

Hi Heather,

We have had Ahsoka now for 2 months and there has been no allergic reactions. She is such a loving kitten. She waits for us at the door when we come home. Our daughter is so happy to have her kitten. Ahsoka has taken to every member f the family & spreads her time evenly. She is changing colors daily. We would purchase another kitten from you if we decided to purchase another kitten. Thanks for everything.

I just wanted to share with you how much we adore our Murphy, who we now call Minmin. She is the most playful and loving kitty that really livens up the house. She always greets us at the door, flops around and gets her toys when she's ready to play. She loves people and is the best kitty ever. Thanks

Hi Heather:

I have sent you an updated picture of Ozzy. We love our little guy. He has fit in to our home perfectly. He loves the kids and is affectionate, and patient with them. He will often bring them a toy so they will throw it for him. He sleeps every night with my son or daughter. He still likes to climb inside things - grocery bags, boxes and back packs. The other activity he likes to do is EAT. We have to keep his dish full.

I hope all is well. Thank you for raising such a loving pet.

P.S. I have never experienced an allergic reaction.

I have to tell you a story about Polina, our beautiful which we purchased from you. We know she's a very bright cat, but a little while ago, Derek, my husband, and Sara, my daughter, were debating the relative intelligence or vocabulary of cats vs. dogs. (Derek grew up with both dogs and cats.) Sara was defending cats, and Derek was sitting on a blanket chest and said to Sara that dogs have a better understanding of human words than cats, then he looked at Polina and said "If you had any brains, you'd come over here and jump up on this chest when I asked you to." Polina walked over to the chest, jumped up on it, gave Derek a look of utter contempt as only a cat can, then jumped down and walked away twitching her tail at him. Derek was floored.

Hi Folks,

Nim is doing very well since her arrival this weekend. Her strength and agility for her size certainly impressed us. She's a gutsy little thing: very curious, playful and affectionate. No issues at all with feeding, litter box, dashing up and down the stairs at crazy speed or getting up on our double-stacked bed at night. She even managed to turn on Basil's alarm clock at 5 a.m. this morning!

Thank you very much for raising such a happy, well-adjusted kitten.

Cheers, Pia and Basil

Hi Heather,

I don’t even know where to start with this email! First of all, I would like to say that even though I have only had Desmo for a few days, he is without question the best cat I have ever owned!!! He is friendly, playful, well adjusted, social, chatty, interactive and sweet sweet sweet. He LOVES people!!! He greets us at the door, purring away. When there are several of us in a room talking he comes right in, curls up and listens to us talk. He loves to be rubbed and hugged. I can’t imagine a better pet!!! Right now he is on my lap trying to help me type.

He follows me all over the place and I just can’t get enough of him. He seems pretty happy here and he spends his days in the window or playing with crumpled paper balls.

Thank you so much for this wonderful kitten. I can’t say enough about how pleased I have been with your services. You will be hearing from me again when we are ready for another kitten!!!!!

Hi Heather,

Just wanted to let you know Abbie's doing great!! She's the sweetest, most loving, playful kitten! She's also incredibly smart! Within 30min of being home she had used her litter box successfully, learned how to climb up AND down the stairs and figured out how to get over the baby gates into the living room. Although we planned on keeping her on the main floor of the house for the first few days, she now has the run of the entire place! She's also been eating and drinking lots and although she had two lovely beds, her favourite place to sleep is my chest, right under my chin! We're all so in love with her!!

Thank you again for all your amazing work. We could tell the instant we met her she had been showered with love and affection since the minute she was born. You're an exceptional breeder and we're so thankful our paths crossed!

Rachael, Donovan and Abigail.

We are all so unbelievably happy with Zipper. He is a plump little bundle of fur that keeps us entertained for hours. My girls can't believe how lucky they are to finally have a pet to love and care for, and neither one of them has had an allergic reaction in the 25 days he has been in our home.

I know he had to make a long trip to reach us, but you came so highly recommended that we thought it would be worth the wait and get a kitten from you. We did a lot of research on Siberian cats and hypoallergenic fur, and I was impressed to see that you post the FEL-D1 levels of each of your cats on your website. I do not know of another cattery site that does this. Even more interesting is that some breeders don't even know what FEL-D1 is !!

And what a pleasure it was to deal with you. You are indeed a wonderful, honest, compassionate breeder. I have recommended you to several of our friends and acquaintances who are interested in a pet with hypoallergenic fur and you will probably be hearing from some of them soon.

Hello Heather,

My children are absolutely ecstatic with their new kitten and treat her like a princess. Since we got her home, they have named her Riley, then Kylie, then Smiley (a cat smiles??) but have finally settled on Muskrat. They think that this is the perfect name for a perfect kitten. My husband is thrilled that his allergies are not affected by having a cat in the house - that was a big worry for us.

We just wanted to say thank you for this wonderful little creature which has made such a big difference in our lives. We can tell by the way she behaves that she has received endless attention and care since the day she was born.

Best regards,

Brenda

Just wanted to tell you how much we love Niko. He is such a sweet kitty. He sleeps with me every night & loves the kids. He has adjusted beautifully to our home.

Thanks for doing such a great job with him! He is the perfect kitty for us.

Jasper is doing great, and the dogs have grown accustomed to him nipping at their noses and their heals. He's close to four pounds now, and we're having a time keeping him from eating the dog food -- I thought it would the other way around, dogs eating the cat food! He has taken over the whole house, and he loves paper -- he pulls it out of the trash or wherever he can find it and then tries to eat it. He is a mess :) and Chris thinks he is the best thing on earth and he's all his.

Hi Heather:

All is well with Ozzy. He was neutered and micro chipped last week. No issues. We love him lots. He loves the kids and goes to them as soon as he hears their voices. He is really amazing. He is smart and still very opinionated. I have sent you a picture of him. He has moved from the sieve to an Easter basket.

Thanks so much for raising such a beautiful, affectionate pet.

P.S. My allergies have never reacted to him.

Hey Heather:

We picked up Misha at the airport yesterday morning, brought her home and introduced her to our three year old chihuahua, Barney.

It was love at first sight. Misha immediately started to follow Barney around like he was her mentor, and although they both have their own separate beds, they slept cuddled up together last night in Barney's bed. This morning it looks like they have decided Misha is to be the boss.

What a beautiful healthy kitten you raised for us. We always planned on having two cats, and will definitely contact you again when we are ready to take the next step.

Thank you very, very much for your kindness and help.

Hi Heather

We just wanted to thank you for our beautiful Angus. He has been with us now for 10 days and none of us can imagine life without him. He settled into our home life with ease and now sleeps every night on my six year old son's bed (mutual affection and adoration). His days are spent lounging and snoozing on any soft, warm surface he can find. He particularly likes the laundry hamper when it is full of clothing right out of the dryer.

I must say that it was a wonderful experience purchasing a Siberian from your cattery. Your help was invaluable and very much appreciated. I will keep in touch and send you a picture from time to time so you will be able to see how well Angus is getting on. We love him to bits!! Best regards to you and your family.
