Here I must take this opportunity to thank my great friend, Ms. Adilah Roose who obviously has done a perfect job for me and my cat. Adilah, you are crazy enough to have granded two different types of forest cats (Maine Coon, Norwegian Forest......so far) as a Shorthair breeder - you own a share of this DM honour of my cattery!!! Now your next move shall be a Siberian, right?

Needless to say that Heaveny, if my record doesn't betray me, is the first and only Longhair DM from Hong Kong with all her 5 offsprings granded in Asia - must say, I'm a happy man and extremely proud dad.........

My dear Heavenly, you surely have put your dad in Heaven........

Congratulations on the DM!

You're very welcome Russ - you should know I went through MUCH stress bathing him for fear of messing up!

I will miss Da Blob when he goes back to HK, we have bonded well and he is friends with my Suria...but I sure wont miss grooming him!

As for the Sib - I'll wait for Nadia to tell me when and if she wants me to go for it!

I think perhaps a Ragdoll or Birman first! LOL!
