I have been busy and havent't
written anything in english... as the matter of fact life in Valleygirl's
goes so nicely that there has been no news. But now I added
Summer 2004 page to Photo gallery.
Viraton has got more
offspring... his fiance Kuutuulen Hemara gave birth to a beautiful litter
- 3 black with white females and one male and one white female - on 7th of
June. Kitten grow fast and growing fast...
We have plans to make
kittens with Tassu, and now we are waiting when Tassu comes to heat, then
she is going to visit EC Sada Mess Boy Manuel (red mackerel tabby male).
Both parents are ready and tested (ultrasound from heart is done to ensure
that neither of them are HCM-carries, both of parents have A-blood group,
although Tassu would have had B-group as well as her father has B-group
and Tassu's mother, Deniz is a carrier of B-group, FeLV/FIV tests made
etc). |

Tassu & Tossu had their first
show in Open class. Take a look at show
results. Both kittens behaved very nicely although Tassu did not like
travelling at all, and Tossu did not like the travelling box at all but
slept then there quietly the whole journey.
A week ago we saw also Termelli, and you'll find some photos of him at
Pictures of T-litter. |

Kittens had a show day. They
have grown up, their behaviour was much different than last time. Tassu
did not like to be on my hands or outside the cage, Tossu was very afraid,
but behaved very nicely.

Tassu and Tossu had a "learning
day" in a cat show. The drive to a show place was not very nice (especially
Tassu cried the first 100km very sadly). Tossu took the show very calm,
Tassu thought that there is not anything to do in a cage. But the
judgement both took really nicely. Only Tassu became a little nervous when
the judge chose his nominates, as Tassu had been out of cage for a very
long time waiting the selection of nominates. We heard that she would have
to be groomed much better, and that's why she was not suitable for
nomination. We did not really find out what we should be done, but perhaps
it was some white hair in her belly...
Tossu's and
Tassu's judgements added to their show result pages. |

Spring has come, and our time
goes nowadays totally with having walks with our cats... even Tassu has
learned how lovely it is to go to a walk (and Kalle cries out all the time,
starting when we wake up..., also Tuittu, Viraton, Sari, Lulla and also
Deniz every now and then like to go to a walk and also Silva likes it).
Some
new pictures : Tuittu, Sari,
Deniz, Tassu and Tossu. |

Valleygirl's kittens and
their dam headed to Helsinki to a cat show. Deniz, Tossu and Tassu got
company also from Tohma and Tokat, so quite a good representation of
Valleygirl's this time... Tassu did not like travelling alone. When the
return drive started, Tassu cried very loadly in her travel cage. She
settled down only after she got company of Tossu in the same box. And also
in the show, she did not like to stay alone in the show cage, and when we
put her in Tossu's cage, she calmed down. Both Tossu, Tassu and also Tokat
took the show nicely, only Tohma did not like showlife at all.
You'll find pictures of
Tokat and Tohma in Pictures of T-litter,
and show results from Helsinki (only
Tossu's judgement was written in english). |

Beginning of February,
2003 |
Tassu and Tossu got ill:
Day
1: Kittens tored a carton box totally and in the evening when I took
Tossu away from the table, she meowed and seemed to feel tender from her
stomach or legs. We thought that she has eaten carton.
Day
2: Call to our vet, no available time... but instructions to give
paraffine oil to help carton to come out... Some hours after that Tassu
and Tossu are playing together and Tassu runs under a sofa. But she can't
come away from there, she only cries loudly there. When Heikki reaches her,
he sees that Tassu can't move herself at all. Now we had to find a vet...
and found a vet who could see what's wrong with Tassu. Tassu still
could not move. X-rays were taken but no fractures.
Day
3: We hear the results from bloodtests, which tell that the kittens suffer
from too low calsium, and too high phosforus level. So, the treatment is
to change their diet from raw meat to quality kitten food. But it's easier
said than done, as the kittens are not willing to eat anything else than
meat. Tassu is still unable to even change her position and now also Tossu
limps her front leg. Kittens are feed with a sprayer.
Day
4: Tassu have walked a little (sleeps on a different box...) but in the
evening she does not move at all. Still feeding with a sprayer.
Day
5: Tassu was waiting us behind a door when we came home, but
sleeping on a floor. But great, she has walked a bit... and still forced
feeding...
Day
6: Tossu tastes food herself... it's a beginning...
Day
7: Tassu walks more and more easily, but Tossu limps her leg more. But
they have started to eat their food. Soon things look better and better...
Now two weeks from the
accident (or illness), we can't notice any problems with Tassu anymore,
Tossu still sometimes limps. But nowadays they are so lively that they
seem to be OK. |

T-kittens had their first
show. Tossu's judgement was written in finnish, but read Tossus's
judgement from her own show result page. |
