I talked to you this morning Hollie but you know
that I am deeply sorry for yours and Mickie's loss.
Big hugs to you and big (gentle) ones to Mickie.

| Oh, Holly, I'm so sorry. I know how you were looking forward to this
kitten. I'm glad Mama Kitty is doing OK.
Lots of Love will make her feel better (which *I Know* you are already
giving her).
Give her our hugs and kisses.

| Holly,
Sometimes these things happen in breeding. Is is sad, and
disappointing, but the good news really is good news, Micki is okay.
Her next litter will be healthy and happy.

| Hang in there Holly - guess from what I hear there sure are UPs
and DOWNs to breeding! Sorry to hear about the baby - very glad
Micki is FINE. Good luck with your next litter. Say hi to Mom
for me!

| Thanks everyone. I called home a little while ago and Micki is doing
just fine. But still looking for her kitten. They found her searching
through my mother's drawers.
RE: Joanne. I realize that this kind of thing does come with breeding.
But no matter how many times it happens, I'm still going to feel this
way every time. It'll probably get easier, but it's rough. Especailly
where it was a Male shaded golden. Shaded goldens aren't very common.
The breeder that we got Micki from has only had a handful of goldens in
all her years of breeding shaded silvers (for those of you who don't
know, the only way to get a shaded golden is out of a golden or a
silver).

| Golden is a recessive to Silver, isn't it? If so, then if your
golden is bred to a silver who carries golden, then you would have
a chance of getting 50% goldens in the litter. The way to increase
your chances is to breed to a golden male. I have a good friend
who has a golden male, GRC Harthrob Krugerrand (sp). Maybe I could
help you arrange for a stud service. This boy is a CFA cat, and
placed very high in our region this year. He has already sired
several Grand Champion offspring.
Holly, when something like what you just went through happens to
me, I just tell myself that if it ever does get easy, then it is
time for me to get out of breeding. Hang in there, and try to focus
on Micki and how well she is doing. Maybe you could distract her
from looking for her baby with a little extra attention and love.
It will help both of you through this tough time.

| Holly,
I'm so sorry. What a terrible disappointment after waiting all
that time. I know it won't help much, but we'll add ?Zeus?'s name
to the Silver lining memorial for this quarter.

So sorry to hear about the kitten, Holly. I hope it works out
better for you all next time. It's so tragic to lose a kitten.
Our feelings are with you,

| Holly,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss. These things do happen during
breeding, and, to be honest, every time feels tragic. I hope your
luck changes soon -- it is easier to bear the losses when there
are also some successes!
I understand...my very first litter required an emergency C-section
*and* spaying the Momcat.
Good luck in the future!

Holly,
as you can tell, I'm about a week behind in noting, but I wanted
to let you know how sorry I am for Micki's kitten. Thank God that
Micki is okay.
Hugs to both of you!
