How long now before you get your babes...? Be prepared for no one to accept they are only three months or so old because as you say they are large even at that young age,I sometimes think perhaps it would be nice to have another breed so I could have a sweet "little" bundle but what a joy I would miss out on so perhaps not...! Their fur stays lovely & soft some are more silkier than others,I find my silvers are really silky but they all have that super softness to it.
Will look forward to seeing photos of your babes once they have picked you as their new parents...x

The breeder we spoke to said she normally doesn't let people pet her cats, I think that's just for shows since there could be diseases transmitted by touch, but since we had been in contact and everything she let us, what a privilege that was.

We're still waiting to find out for sure if the cat is pregnant, hopefully confirmation this week, and then hopefully she has kittens that we want. If we cross all those hurdles, they'd be going home early January. She has another cat that hasn't gotten pregnant the last 3 times, that cat was bred a couple of weeks ago, so if she's pregnant that is another potential litter to choose from. We are extremely hopeful.

If the cat is pregnant and there are kittens we want from the litter, I'll get some pictures up after we get to choose them.
