Double The Love

Double the Love

As a long standing Persian & Himalayan cat breeder I often get the question…

One kitty or two, which is best?

Personally, I myself have never raised just one kitten alone.

While I feel that we humans can offer a great deal of love and nurturing there is a special type of feline companionship and interaction that cannot be duplicated or reproduced by human beings.

Felines crave two types of interaction for a healthy mental self esteem:

1.) Human Fellowship

2.) Feline Friendship

We as humans can shower our feline friend with our time, fun cheerful toys, soft fuzzy beds, tall elaborate kitty towers, grooming & brushing, great quality food, cuddling and excellent veterinarian care but the power of feline to feline friendship cannot be cloned by objects or humans.

They offer one another a confidence and intimacy factor we humans simply cannot, such as cleaning one anothers face or chasing each other throughout the house at tops speeds I swear can sometimes reach over 50 MPH!! LOL

Their bond is very apparent to see as you watch them sleeping all curled up together or both trying to smash their faces in the same food dish.

So, without hesitation by recommendation is always two.

Now, for those of you who have raised two cats together and one passes away and you find yourself wondering…

Should I get a new baby kitten to help with the grieving process the older cat is enduring?

I will say this, that bond between those two older cats is equal to two elderly people who grew up and old together. When one crosses over rainbow bridge the other is completely lost and life without their soul mate is usually not something they want to face any longer.

Many times they too give up on tomorrow and the fact their furry friend is no longer by their side to chatter with or just feel one another warmth so if this is the situation you are dealing with I will also give you my professional thoughts.

Think of grandparents, their bodies are not what they used to be in their childhood. They used to race one another out on the playground and sled ride down the hills after a new blanket of snow had just fallen.

It doesn’t mean they no longer enjoy those things, it’s just that most grandparents would rather watch their grandchildren do those activities.

It’s the same for the older cat in the house, for the most part they are not as physically youthful as they once were yet mentally they are & love watching little ones run, flip and play. However when you add just one new baby kitten to the household thinking that you have helped out the older kitty you have in fact, just annoyed the older one because he or she is content to watch, not join in and play so once again I suggest TWO, that way it is though the older cat is at the movies! They get the mental thrill and entertainment but are not physically exhausted.

I know that adopting two at the same time is not always an option but if possible it is always best to pair them up with a furry friend within that first year of life.

The other question people often ask me is what gender combinations are best to go with.

I always say the same thing: MALE/MALE or MALE/FEMALE but to avoid FEMALE/FEMALE unless they are adopted at the same time and are either litter mates or nursery mates (born within a 2-3 month age range of one another).

Ok, I think this pretty much covers “My thoughts” on…ONE vs. TWO

Because we feel strongly that pairs are better than one we offer a “Buddy Discount”.

The short hair Persians usually display large round “hoot-owl” eyes of which they use to get their way.

While clearly a cat their personality is closer to a dog.

They LOVE to play fetch and follow you around in hopes of being apart of what ever you are doing.

Admin — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 23:14:23 +0000

He was born on June 3, 2003.

Both parents being “Toys”…one a Persian, one a Himalayan. This would be his mom’s first ever litter, she was new to the “Mothering scene”, yet VERY wise and very caring. One by one she delivered her tiny litter of toys, as the day ended she found herself a mother of five.

The minutes turned to hours and the hours into a day. Soon I noticed my newest Mommy had no milk. Panicked and scared I called my friend crying for help, she quickly raced for information and help as I quickly call my vet. “We can give her a shot in hopes her milk will come in, but no promises.” I peered into the kittening box, five very small frail babies…in MY care.

Five owners awaiting word as they anxiously prepared their lives for these bundles of joy. I gave all I had in my body, my mind and soul. I really thought I was doing good..till day three when baby one slipped from my caring hands. Crushed and hopeless, my physical duties went on. I raced through the cars, the kids and the house. I lost touch with reality as I lived within the kittening box. Merely hours after losing baby1… I said to baby 2′s owner…“Yours will be next…far too weak to eat, way to small to save.”

It washours later that we lost another..but not the one I thought. I knew for sure I had NO power or say over what was happening. After shot for mom..more things to bring in her milk. A first time Mom who’s eyes were filled with fear and wonder…”Why me?” Two babies carried away by angles unknown.

Friends pouring in hope, love, prayers and caring gesture. Kitty clients with older kitten held their breath…never asking how their babies were…only the ones I was hand raising. The three remaining babies fought me tooth and nail. “No…we don’t want to eat from you…we want only Mommy.” Three small babies frail as could be. One tiny flame, one tiny tortie and oh…baby number three. Not sure what he would be… I remember thinking…If I wake every few hours, warm your milk prepare your bottles and softly try to feed you…all you must do is swallow. Why won’t you swallow for me?

” Those of you that called me with an endless supply of faith in my abilities to save the remaining three…heard my tears, my fear and my hopelessness. Tiny tortie continued to nursed. “They won’t eat I cried, they don’t want to live and I can’t save them, this fake milk is not working…they will not take the bottles.” Paralyzed by fear but wanting to know…my friends asked..what can I do?

I need these babies to eat! They refuse to eat! They hate these bottles…they are too big and they simply turn their heads away. Days had gone by, I didn’t know how old they were or even when they were born, all I knew was I could not tell another owner her baby had gone to heaven. A group of my friends set our to find a special bottle for my wee ones, I remember them panicked and frustrated as they awaited word the special bottles from Canada had arrived.

No such luck…as the weekend sat in, I feared the worst. Late Friday afternoon, a box arrived…I rushed to open it and there sat three miniature roses…staring out at me. One for each baby…one for each of my closest friends.

A note that read: Sue: Three mini roses here you see, One each from Kathy, Meggie and me. One for each angel set free, one for each remaining three. How will I ever repay these three? Letters and cards, email and calls….and prayers galore. I remember think…”How many will be here by Monday…will I have to lay another tiny angel on one of those clouds and bid good bye?”

I forced them to eat, I forced them to wake. Each and every time I looked into the box, I took a big breath and wondered…what will I see? It was heart wrenching to think we may not have three. Sweet Mama kept them ever so clean, warm and dry. Tiny tortie continued to nurse. Another show and more vitamins…but would it help? She and I wanted the best no matter what that would be. Three small babies frail as could be. One tiny flame, one tiny tortie and oh…baby number three.

Not sure what he would be… Tiny tortie was the strongest…girls usually are…I remember saying…she was the only HOPE I had. She was the fighter of the three, she nursed even though there was nothing to nurse. I kept thinking…”Keep nursing tiny tortie…maybe…just maybe…” Once again I told Amy…owner of baby number three…I have no hope at this point, he will be next. I could tell she did not agree.

Perhaps it was because her eyes were not seeing what mine were…I don’t know. She had faith and hope…I could tell. Tiny tortie continued to nurse. It seems like years, but Monday finally came…and there they were…what I call…”Hope in a box.” Tiny bottles shaped and formed just like Moms. There is was…such a tiny box, but filled with so much Hope. I raced to the babies showing them…”Look what the girls sent!” They latched on and drank like never before!

Finally I felt my body fill with HOPE and excitement for what each new day would bring. I will feed your babies Mama, you simply keep them clean and warm and I’ll do the rest. I raced to my computer and told the three…”A little box of Hope arrived in the mail today!” From that point I knew the little girl’s name would be HOPE, because she gave it to me endlessly.

The bottles were great, the babies loved them and finally had learned to accept the “Fake Milk” that came from within them. I thought the problems were far gone and we could sleep. You keep those babies warm Mama…and my oh my how she did. The fake milk gave the babies a lose stool, but Mama kept them as clean as a whistle every time I checked.Tiny tortie continued to nurse. They were eating and growing a little and seemed to be on their way to a healthy happy life. I felt at peace and finally left the house for the first time, knowing the babies were in great care. I ran my errands and rushed back home. It would soon be feeding time again! I warmed the bottle and went to feed the tiny three…I screamed with sheer fear as I saw blood in the kittening box.

Oh dear God….baby number three…his tiny toe was bleeding…Oh My God!I rushed out the door with baby number three…off to the vet bot knowing what had happened. Tears and pain filled my mind and heart. My vet looked at me and said “Some mother cats have no mothering skills while others have too much. This mama was trying so hard to keep them clean, in between each tiny toe and now…has accidentally torn the toes of baby number three. Tiny toes left dangling from this tiny ten day old kitten. Fearing the answer I said…”Will he be okay?”

The look in my vets eyes said no…Oh My God…not baby number three. How could my heart take more? Baby three was such a part of me. They cleaned his wound and handed me antibiotics and creams, powders and gels. I don’t remember seeing the road and I drove home only tears of fear, sadness and sorrow. Even if this baby survives he will lose his toe…maybe three.

Angry and mad I wondered…how could you hurt your baby, sweet mama? But one look into her eyes I knew this was not hate or anger…this was love, the loved to do HER PART as a mom. She could not feed and needed me, I sat and held her crying and asking God why? Why does it have to be this way? Everything seemed to be going so well. At my vets request I kept sweet mama from her babies until the ever so tiny foot healed. I called my friend and she said to me…”Sue things are JUST AS THEY SHOULD BE.” I don’t know how you could say that!

How could this be the way things were SUPPOSED to be? Where is the sense in this? Telling Amy was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I felt I had let her down, I felt we all had. I warned her…this is not what we needed. Baby #3 was never the strong one and yet she held her faith.

I told mt friends as they all jumped to the rescue…”If he makes it and Amy doesn’t want him…I DO.” For such a tiny little guy you sure brought a world full of love. The calls poured in, my emails overflowed…my heart felt heavy with each passing call. “These people have more faith in me than I can imagine.” What will I say when we lose baby #3?

I told Amy…at this point, it is one hour at a time. Infection could set in and my hope was fading fast. She held on and said to me…”No matter what happens I know you have done EVERYTHING in your power to save this baby for me.” What more could go wrong? Little Hope…you sure are nursing strong! Wait a minute baby Hope…what is that you have around your mouth…Oh dear God, it’s MILK! SWEET MAMA…YOU HAVE MILK! Tiny tortie you saved all THREE! For the very first time…I knew we would save all three! Baby Hope you never gave up and now you gave hope to me…and baby number three!

Baby number two…let’s not forget him…pudgy and fat…we nicknamed him Porky…*hehe* So here we are…the rain has stopped and questions filled the air! All three are here…just as it is supposed to be. Baby number three…now has a name..he’s little Sevi. Left with one toe on that tiny foot…leaving us all in auhh over his speedy recovery and his will to NEVER give up…even when I had gave up on him. Why did I post this page? Because I feel I owe it and so much to all of you who stood by me.

Pouring endless LOVE, HOPE & FAITH into my heart in a constant steady stream. I would try and list you all, but simply could not. I would like to give a special heartfelt to those of your closest to me. Amy – For never giving up on me and Sevi Dr. Owns – For the speedy care on that scary Sunday afternoon To my three little angels who sent the roses & bottles, emails and cards & most of all LOVE.

To all the people who had kittens here and so kindly said…”I understand.”

No words ever say how big of an impact this had on me.

Now I present the tiny three…

Dear Sue,

I am just writing to let you know how much I appreciate what you are about and what you are doing within your cattery.

I am a cattery owner of Siberian cats and as such, recognize the amount of time and effort that you put into you cattery.

The photos on your site are truly art and a certain labor of love. I know how long it takes to get even usable photos, let along the gorgeous pieces that you capture and share with us, the public. When I called you just to comment on how I appreciated your work and was so warmly welcomed and “invited” into your world and I was very pleased.

Knowing up front that I was not really a potential customer did not stop you from sharing some of your wealth of knowledge with me, which I appreciate greatly. From our conversation you know that I think that your cats are gorgeous and well loved but you Sue, are the true diamond in the ruff.

As breeders we do not often hear from people that we are just appreciated for being ourselves and I felt it was very important for you to hear how I respect your efforts with your cats.

I have watched your website online for the past 7 years simply because your photos are gorgeous and always make me smile. I did not expect to take up so much of your time during our phone call and I appreciate all the time you allowed for our conversation.

I will be certain to keep in touch and will not hesitate to recommend anyone to contact you if they are looking for your breeds. I wish all the best for you and family, may you always be blessed.

Dear Sue,

I’m not sure if you remember me and my family but we bought Bella, well her name was “Mindy” at the time, from you about 5 years ago.

My sister Monique and my mom Dianne spoke with you most of the time, we are from Rhode Island.

We cannot than you enough, she brings so much happiness! At least once a day my mom says that she is our little angel from heaven. She is such a sweet little girl and I can’t wait to get home every day to see her beautiful blue eyes.

She is so spoiled! If she isn’t the center of attention she lets us know it, she is very vocal haha. She has LOTS of toys and the only thing she likes playing with are rolled up napkin balls, once she hears us crinkle up a ball she comes running! She likes to lay in the bathroom sink while we get ready haha. Well thank you soo much again!

Tiffany & Bella

Hello Sue,

Just thought I would drop you a line and let you know how “Purring in Paris” AKA, Madeline is doing here in North Carolina. I cannot believe she will be three years old in October of this year!! Our entire family is so in love with adorable “Madie.”

She has an absolutely wonderful disposition, and allows my five year old granddaughter to hold her and walk her around the house with her. Our other three cats would never tolerate that! Thank you so much for bring so much love and joy into our family.

You are the best and I would highly recommend Sue’s cattery to anyone who wishes to bring some added love into their home.

Penny Blake
