3508.0. "Stripees' 1990 babies!" by CSSE::LEVIN () Mon Apr 09 1990 19:32


	Well, Cattyshack's Tiger Stripes was a busy boy last winter and has 
	been waiting for 5 litters to be born.  I'd like to start this note
        to keep track of the litters and share in the excitement that Cin
        will be feeling as they all arrive.

3508.1Litter #1 has arrived!CSSE::LEVINMon Apr 09 1990 19:3922

	The first litter has arrived!  On the evening of April 3, Cattyshack's
        Candy Cane (a.k.a. Candy) delivered 4 healthy kittens.  Two red
        tabbies (both male), a female Tortie and a female Brown Patched Tabby.
        Don't know if they are longhaired or shorthaired yet.  Their eyes will
        be opening sometime this week.
    
        Mom and babies doing fine!  Grandmas Cin and Diane are basket cases....
        but I guess that comes with the territory.  Right, Cin?

	Now Bailey (in San Francisco now) has some brothers and sisters! 
        Yeah!!
	
	Will keep you updated on their progress!

	Cin, now Stripees has only Tabitha, Noname, Cookie, and Little Fi to 
	wait for....right?

	- Diane and Uncle Scottie (who doesn't understand why he's not
          getting more attention now.....)
          
3508.2FSHQA1::RKAGNOA Cat Makes a Purrfect FriendTue Apr 10 1990 11:3313
    Congratulations Diane!!  Two red boys?  Oh, no!  Gotta keep my hands
    in my pockets!
    
    Also congrats to Scottie's wins last weekend.  I am showing strictly
    CFA now, as I would like to grand champion Murdock in that association.
    The only CFF show I am definitely planning to attend is the Framingham
    show in September.  Maybe I'll see you there!
    
    Good luck with the babies.  Stripees is my favorite Exotic boy!

    Stripees is my main man too, Roberta.  Except for Bailey, of 
    course! ;-)
    
    He sure does make beautiful babies, and I can't wait to get 
    my hands on another one!!!!
    
    Bailey sends his congrats to Uncle Scottie, Diane!!!!

3508.4The other BaileyFSHQA1::RKAGNOA Cat Makes a Purrfect FriendTue Apr 10 1990 12:4813
    Marlene, I told you about the Bailey who lives next door to me,
    right?  He's also one of Cindy's kids out of Fire and Muffin.  I'll
    have to send you a picture of him -- he's a cream tabby Exotic.
    His registered name is Bailey's Irish Cream.  He has such a laid
    back personality.  I'll have to take some pics of him and send them
    along.  I'm sure Karen, his human mommy, would like to see pictures
    of your baby too!
    
    These Exotics are really beginning to grow on me... oh, no, my inn
    is full enough for now!
    
    --Roberta
    
3508.5it's an addictionSANFAN::BALZERMATue Apr 10 1990 13:0710
    
    Watch out, Roberta!  They certainly do grow on you and then you
    want more!  If I had a bigger place, I'd take half of Cin's
    kittens!!!  If there is one trait that Bailey has, it's "laid back".
    I think it's the breed and the water at Cin's house..."cool is the
    rule" in Fitchburg! :-)

    like Stripees.. she even "sits like him.. Cin..ya know that 
    "laidback,, way he sits.. kinda on his side.. eyes  half

    she is so laid .. well as laid back as a kitten can be
    anyway.. giggle giggle..
    Kate
     .. Congrats on the  kitty babies..
    
3508.7I want my OWN babies !EN::TRACHMANExotic Babies are soooo CuteTue Apr 10 1990 13:3812
    Babies, did someone say babies??   Cattyshack's Tiger Lily of EmacX
    has decided that SHE wants some babies of her own!  She is tired of
    playing with Mardi Gras babies!  Soooo, in the not too far distant
    future, Miss Lil will be united with her first love and hopefully
    some Lily babies will arrive!  Seeing that Stripees is Lil's 
    half brother, and I think she resembles him somewhat, let's hope
    that her babies also have that 'look' !!  It's going to be a  fun
    spring!  
    
    Kate, I hope you have lots of baby shower napkins and decorations!
    
    E.T._Mom_in_waiting
3508.8.. and for your listening pleasure..AIMHI::MCCURDYTue Apr 10 1990 14:199
    E.T.. ah yes kitty love.. tis grand... tis grand.. well according to
    HRH.. she is "puting together a very special affair for Lil
    and that Hanndsome debonair REDBOY.. it is all quite Hush-hush..
    she has made that quite clear.. .. so yes E.T.. we will
    have  shower napkins and the like available.. oh yes before I forget..
    HRH wanted to know if Lil reall just wants a string quartet..
    becuase according to HRH.. The LONDON Symphony Orchestra is available..
    :*)
    Kate
3508.9Lil's taste isn't quite like HRH's!IAMOK::GERRYHome is where the Cat isTue Apr 10 1990 14:277
    Kate,
    
    Knowing Lil, she'll want AC/DC, Guns & Roses, Madonna, or the like. 
    None of this classical stuff for that Fuzzball!
    
    cin
    
3508.10Lil has GOOD taste - she loves ME !EN::TRACHMANExotic Babies are soooo CuteTue Apr 10 1990 15:049
    Gimme a break!  Lil is a 'lady' of the best kind!  Just cause she
    is built like a boy, don't mean that she ain't no lady.  Actually,
    easy listenin' would work, or maybe something loud to cover the
    noise!  She can get mouthy at times.  My Lil can have anything
    her little heart desires!  and she doesn't even have to ask.
    I can hardly wait to see if Red Boy still loves her.  It should
    be a hoot!

    re: .4 & .5  Bailey is Flame's littermate and certainly is a beautiful
    boy.  As far as personality goes - I like to call Flame the "california
    cat" cause he's so laid back.
      N
3508.12aha.. just as I suspectedAIMHI::MCCURDYWed Apr 11 1990 13:267
     RE: Cin .. hmm.. may be that is why Happy and HRH were having
    a discussion last nite about "MEWSIC" in general.. hmmmm..
    I also suspect that  Happy is probably also planning a
    "little something" for Lil as well.. hmmmm..
     .. E.T.. as one "who knows".. REDBOY  will always love
    Lil and vice versa....tee-hee
    Kate
3508.13SWING IT!!AIMHI::MCCURDYWed Apr 11 1990 13:4420
    Whoops , befor I forget,, Cin, speaking of "mewsic",.. Preschie
    apparently also has a fondness for it.. She has figured out
    how to turn on the radio in the "quiet room". I do leave a radio
    on for them during the day.. or at LEAST I  thought I did.. I kept
    coming home to a quiet apt, (sort of).. finally last
    Friday nite I figured it out.. I was cleaning,, and I had the
    radio on, in the :quiet room". and Preschie in..
    the next thing  I see, is that she is sitting
    on the table in there,, paws warpped around the knobs on the radio..
    swapping stations, adjusting the volume (UP only I might add).. the
    next thing I know, she shut it off,, she hops down, meets up with Happy
    in the hallway. and  into the livingroom they go.. I followed thme..
    and the next thing I know... they are playing with answering
    machine.. .. and Preschie "turned on the TV with the remote
    control..!!!. while Happy was yakking away at her.. Those 2 are
    a real piece of work.. I might add that Daddy thought that was
    just great.. his 2 little "princesses are soooooo smart.."..
    Pookie on the other hand "was sound asleep".. hmm.. this must
    have Happy's "shift" entertain the baby..!!!! tee-hee

3508.14Litter #1 is one week old!CSSE::LEVINWed Apr 11 1990 17:3749

	For those of you who don't know who Cattyshack's Candy Cane (a.k.a.
	Candy) is, let me explain.  She is the daughter of the famous Great
	Balls of Fire, who many of you have heard of or have met.

	This notes file led me to Cin and we bought Candy from her in July
	of 1988.  She's a real sweetheart and is being a wonderful mom! 
        This is her second litter.  She delivered very early last time and
    	only 1 of 5 kittens lived.  Marlene has him (Bailey) in San Francisco.

	Mom and new babies are doing just fine!  They are noisey little
	buggers when they eat, and boy, do they eat!  She's being really good
	with them.  They get bigger as each day goes by.....eating like
	piggies!  (see .1 for colors and sexes)

	We're taking weekly pictures to show their growth.  They were one
	week old yesterday!  Their eyes were just starting to open this
	morning.  The girls' are more open than the boys'.  Girls are always
	more mature......  (Marlene, will send you some photos when they're 
	developed....)

	I just love talking about them and can't wait to see them again!
	I have trouble leaving them to come to work and then I can't wait
	until I get home!  All of you with previous litter experience will 
	know exactly what I mean.....
    

	RE: .2  Thanks for the congrats!  Why do you have your hands in your
	pockets, Roberta?  You'd really love an Exotic!  Isn't there always
        room for one more?  And, thanks for Scottie's congrats!

	RE: .3  Scottie, Stripees and Bailey are tied for my favorite guys!
        You're right, Stripees and Candy sure do make beautiful babies.
    	Thanks, Bailey, for Scottie's congrats.

	RE: .5  Bailey's "laid back" trait may also be the well water at our
	house, or a trait from his mom, as she's like that, too!  Nothing to
	hurry for when you're in the country.....  Definitely different
    	from other breeds though!  

	Cin, time to update us on Tabitha, Noname, Cookie, and Little Fi?  
	How's Stripees holding out during the "waiting time"?

	See some of you in Kennebunk.  Will be there with Scottie....

	- Diane

                          
3508.15More Stripee Babies!IAMOK::GERRYHome is where the Cat isTue May 01 1990 11:1619
    This is to announce another litter sired by Cattyshack's Tiger Stripes
    aka Stripees!
    
    Silver-Nuggetts Tabitha a silver tabby exotic shorthair gave birth to 7
    kittens.  
    
    There are 3 Silver Tabbies, 2 Smokes (not sure if they're black or
    shaded silvers yet), 1 Golden Tabby, and 1 Brown Tabby.
    
    Mom and babies are doing just fine, and it won't be long before I can
    tell if they will have long or short hair.
    
    I'm sure there will be several kittens available, and the colors are
    VERY unusual for Exotics.  
    
    Anyone interested can send me mail.

3508.16FSHQA2::RKAGNOA Cat Makes a Purrfect FriendTue May 01 1990 12:446
    7 kittens???  They sound just gorgeous, Cin!!  The golden tabby
    must be incredible.  I love goldens.
    
    Boys or girls?  I'm gonna go back and read that note cause you might
    have mentioned it already!
    
3508.177, really! I couldn't believe it either!IAMOK::GERRYHome is where the Cat isTue May 01 1990 14:3510
    Nope, I didn't say....
    
    of the Silver Tabbies, there are 2 girls, and 1 boy, the Golden Tabby
    is a girl, and the brown tabby is a boy, and there's one of each of the
    smokes.
    
    The color difference between the golden and brown is just incredible.

    I want to see a golden tabby!!!!
3508.19FRAGLE::PELUSOPAINTS; color your corralWed May 02 1990 09:371
    What is golden?  Is it a lighter red or brown?
3508.20Noticeable difference between brown and golden!IAMOK::GERRYHome is where the Cat isWed May 02 1990 09:409
    The actual stripes are a slightly lighter brown, but the undercoat is a
    warm cinnamon color, instead of the tannish.  The color of the face is
    also much lighter than the brown tabby.
    
    Looks like a trip out to Cattyshack might be in order in a few weeks,
    eh Nancy?

3508.25"Congradulations Cin"DASXPS::DDILLONTue May 15 1990 13:3527
    Congradulations Cindy,
    
    I also would like to see the golden tabby.  I bet all of them are
    just absoutely beautiful.  I have to agree with everyone else,
    Stripies is a gorgeous critter.  I have two of his sons Teddy and Kai.
    Kai is just the love of my life, Cin don't tell Michael that though,
    he just might get upset (ha,ha). 
    
    Cin, if you are going to be home this week-end maybe I can talk
    Michael into coming over and seeing the new beautiful babies. Let
    me know off line ok. 
                                  
    Cin, I have to tell you a story that happen last night.  Teddy just
    happened to be in the bathrroom when I went in there so I started
    patting him and Kai came in and came right over and practically
    pushed Teddy out of the way and started licking my hand.  I couldn't
    beleive it.  If I didn't know better I would swear that Kai was
    jealous.  Well, Cin as you know Teddy has become Michael's critter
    and Kai is definetly mine.  By the way they are both doing great.
    
    Well, again Congradulations on your new babies.
    
    Look forward to hearing from you.
    
    Diane, Michael, Teddy and Kai
    
    
3508.26CRUISE::NDCPutiput Scottish Folds - DTN: 297-2313Wed May 16 1990 08:3210
    I got to see all these wonderful babies over the weekend.  My favorite
    part is the "musical mommies".  One of the mommy-cats will nurse the
    kittens for a while then climb out of the box, go have a nibble or
    two then climb into a different box, settle down and start nursing
    this group.  It was great!!!
    
    Of course, Stripees was totally unimpressed and kept asking "where's
    the girls, mom?"  and poor Max who didn't get to father any of the
    kittens kept announcing "Its not fair!!  When's my turn?!!"
      Nancy DC
3508.27They're real cuties!IAMOK::GERRYHome is where the Cat isWed May 16 1990 11:1022
    Actually, Nancy, Sweetie's babies are Max's.
    
    So, since I'm here, let me give you an update.
    
    Tabitha's 7 babies have grown their hair, so I now know I have 1
    Longhair, and 6 Shorthairs...the Brown Tabby girl is the Longhair.  
    
    Sweetie's 4 babies are 2 Longhairs and 2 Shorthairs....Longhairs are
    Cream and Blue Patched Tabby, and Shorthairs are Cream and Red Tabby. 
    Shorthairs are Boys, Longhairs are Girls.
    
    Little Fi has 1 Tortie baby that's just a week old today....can't tell
    if she's Long or Short yet.
    
    Oh yeah, in Tabitha's litter, the Smokes are Black Smokes....
    
    There are some unusual colors here that will be available.  I'm keeping
    the Silver Tabby girl, but the rest of Tabitha's litter will be
    available for sale.
    
    cin

3508.31Update on Candy's babiesCSSE::LEVINMon May 21 1990 17:1914
    It's been awhile, so time for an update.  Candy's babies are 7 weeks old
    now and their hair has grown. If you reference #2 - The female brown
    patched tabby is really a tortie.  The 2 female torties and one of the red
    tabby boys are long-hair, with the other red tabby boy a short-hair. 
    They've had their first shots and are doing fine.  They're just about
    all weaned, going to Candy only once in awhile.  She's glad to be done,
    but gets angry when she meows and they ignore her.  She tries to round
    them up and they'll have none of it.
    
    One of the female torties and the long-hair red tabby boy are for sale.
    Anyone interested can contact me or Cin if you happen to be visiting her
    and want one of these colors instead.

    out of this.. remember how I told you that Precshie has her  "Silky"..
    (one of my slips.. she also has one of my bras.. as well.. ) well
    the first "set" I gave her was "champaigne" colored.. we have graduated
    from  those colors to Black... the little dickens took my black
    slip out of the laundry basket the oyther nite. And YES, I did ask
    her to give it back,, and the kittychase ensued..that was Wednesday

    around she makes bread on it..her and Happy have a  kitty tug of
    war..Hmm.. I wonder how much Happy paid her to get  mummy 's slip..

    Candy and Stripees' babies are now 9 weeks old.  They're getting their 
    second shots this week.  They're growing in leaps and bounds!  And
    they're SOOOOOO much fun now!

    Two longhairs are still available - a Tortie female, and a Red Tabby male.  
    They will be at the Salem, MA show on June 30 only, if you'd like to see
    them then, or contact me ahead of time if you'd like to stop by to see
    them.

    - Diane

3508.40correction on color....CSSE::LEVINFri Jun 08 1990 15:137
    Correction to .38......the female tortie is really a brown patched
    tabby, as we originally thought she was.  She just seems to keep
    changing color......
    
    bye now,

3508.41More 1990 Stripees babies!ICS::GERRYHome is where the Cat isWed Aug 29 1990 14:5332
    Well, Stripees just seems to love to make babies....so, we have a few
    more kittens available.  
    
    Currently available are:
    
    1 Cream Female Longhair, Very pale color (actually, Stripees litter sister
     is the Mom, so this is Stripees Niece) - 4 months old - all shots, FelV 
    tested negative and ready to go.  Asking $200.00
    
    Reservations being taken on the following younger kittens:
    
    2 Red Tabby Longhair Males currently 9 weeks

    These 2 kittens are a repeat breeding of the infamous DWeeBS.
    
    I also have a show quality white exotic female and breeder quality
    brown classic tabby exotic female that are negotiable.
    
    Except for the two above, the Exotic Shorthairs are priced at $400, and
    the Longhairs are priced at $200.

3508.42more info on Exotics!ICS::GERRYHome is where the Cat isWed Aug 29 1990 14:5612
    I should probably elaborate for those folks that don't know about
    exotics.  They resemble a persian in every way except the coat length. 
    They have a shorter coat than a persian, but can in no way be construed
    as short, like a siamese.  The coat is more medium in length, and is
    thick and plushy.  
    
    The longhairs look exactly like a persian in every way ... the only way
    you can tell an Exotic Longhair from a persian is by looking at the
    pedigree.

3508.43oops, forgot 1 young litter....ICS::GERRYHome is where the Cat isWed Aug 29 1990 15:0314
    Oh yeah, I almost forgot....I also have:
    
    2 Red Tabby Exotic males that are Stripees sons, and Fire's
    grandchildren. These kittens are almost 4 weeks old.
    
    Also, since the subject of breeding and kittens has come up several
    times very recently in the past few months.  I want to stress that at
    Cattyshack, we breed for quality and type.  So far this year, the above
    litter is the only litter that there hasn't been at least one show or
    breeder quality kitten produced in the litter.  So, there will be many
    of Stripees kittens making babies next year.
