Kim's Happy Customers
2008 - 2010

Bentley is 1 year old already
June 2010

I've got some pictures of Bentley for you.  Bentley enjoys being out in the yard and going for walks as much as Alex, our Birman, and we do.  We got him to do some posing for us on the garden table.  They were both out with us all day and now are curled up in our laps sound asleep.  That's the good thing about taking them for walks;  they both sleep like logs.  Feel free to post these on your web site or do what ever you please.  Thanks again for a wonderful cat.  Enjoy!

If you click on this musical Youtube video, you will see that Sasha and Simone are really at home here at our place. They are a real joy to us and we thank you for making them available to us. Our daughter Ariel  visited Chicago just before we left for vacation. She stayed at our house for a few days after we left and watched our kitties.  She made this video of Simone and Sasha.  Click here for a lower resolution of the same video.

Cooper - Life is Good

Hi Kim,
Just a note to let you know I'm reading "Dewey" and he is no match for our kitties.  Beau, Basil, and BeBe are just wonderful and we have a life. Beau wants to live in the garage and goes to the laundry room door every day and cries to go out. I console him and we move on. Basil is not a loner.  If left in the room alone, you would think he is being tortured by the Taliban.  BeBe is a hoot and talks all the time. This has taken some work since she is very shy. She is my little girl. I love our cats and am still working for more. I keep telling Bill, lets get another kitty. I love and spoil them. They are a comfort to us.

Love, and hope all is well with you.

P.S.  So?? are all your kitties spoken for???

Hi Kim, Willow is just fantastic and quite the little trooper!!  I was offered a new position with my company in the Boston area. So the little missy and I had a two day road trip and she is a great traveler! Not a peep the first day however the second day she was chatting away! We then stayed in temporary housing for several months while our house was under construction and she could not understand the apartment set up but she made quick friends with the boxer next door (through the door, of course). Once we got settled we did adopt a new little brother (Alexander Apollo - Xander for short). She tries to keep him in line and that is a job. Willow has become very social and is quite the lap kitty now! She adores my boy friend who was not a big cat fan until Willow had her way with him!!! Now if I have to go out of town, he has sleep overs with kids!!! I do hope all is well with you.

Lucy - 3 years old

Last week included a very important birthday
of our beloved companion, Lucy.
She is sweet, smart, endlessly amusing, and very lovable.
You'll see her distinctive "honey paw" in the picture.
Lucy sends a purr your way!
I enjoy checking your website to see
the latest photos of your other cats and the kittens.

I just thought I'd drop you a line and let you know how Elliot is doing. He just turned 3 a couple of weeks ago and he has grown up into a handsome boy, indeed. He stands an inch under three feet tall on his hind legs! He is hands down the most loving animal any cat lover could hope for and I love him dearly, as does his brother, Akerfeldt. I hope you enjoy the picture as much as I enjoy him.

Thanks again

Remember?  this is Nate and Laney as kittens.

I thought I'd share some of my favorite pictures of Nate and Laney as they celebrate their 4th birthday. 

They're doing great and always seem to have a grand time hanging out in the sunroom. Like typical brother and sister, they couldn't be more different. Laney likes everything high tech - the computer, TV, DVD, VCR, and laser mouse toy. She's fascinated by all those gadgets and not long ago, she managed to set a password for the screensaver and locked me out of the computer. I had to unplug the computer and disable the password portion of the screensaver to get back in.

Nate on the other hand, prefers low tech toys like plastic rings from juice bottles that he can fetch and is always ready to chase down spiders and centipedes for me - I don't know what I'd do without him! He is also huge, slightly over 24 lbs this past summer. They are both very clever cats and a joy to live with. And happily, all three cats are getting along well together.

I've been keeping up with your website and it looks like many people have adopted your wonderful Maine Coon cats. All the best to you during the coming year.

You can see both boys are spoiled rotten.

I took this photo of Wilie and O'B yesterday. 
Wilie is the gray boy and O'B is orange.
They love each other and they love all of us, too. 
O'B is definitely bigger and fluffier than Wilie.
Wilie is leaner. We think they are both beautiful.

Then I bought a new rug for in front of the sink... and they decided it was theirs as well.  Thank you again for my delightful and loving furry children!

This little guy is Woodrow a/k/a/ Woody and he loves his treats.

I just wanted to give you an update on Leo's first weekend with his new family. He is a true joy. He's as sweet as can be. He immediately took to Cat, as well as the entire family (he's like a mini-politician, looking to spend time with everyone as he "works" a room).

You did such a great job with Leo. He's just so well socialized. I can't believe how well you were able to get him used to riding in a car. On our ride home, Amy & Cat passed him back-and-forth and he either slept or looked out the window.

Despite the fact he was in new surroundings he always has used his litter box and he's showing a healthy appetite. We did take him to the vet tonight, he's perfectly healthy. We simply couldn't be any more pleased.

I've attached a couple of photos. In one, despite the fact he's got 2 nice cat beds, a "decked out" cat tree and access to any couch in the house, he often lies down in a planter pot Amy got as a gift from my Mom (he just loves that pot for some reason, I think he likes the way his cat toys in there).

The other photo shows him asleep on my couch when we were watching football. Like any kitten, he's always seems to have two speeds, full out "play" mode or sleeping. In that photo, he was "out"...I mean a truck could have drove through the living room and he wouldn't have woke up (Cat's been keeping him busy during his "play modes" while awake).

Anyway, I just wanted to pass along how happy we are with Leo. He's doing great and we love the little guy very much.

Leo has grown into a very handsome young man. He is currently 18 lbs and just shy of 11 months old

Since Samanthah came into our lives, we have had a new adventure each day.  We love her very much and enjoy her company day after day.

Isn't Beauregard a hoot! We're having the inside of the house painted and he has helped all the way. Beau has been right at the painter's heels. Beau is special. He should have been a healing cat. But I could not give him up.

BTW: Beau is Deara's brother.

Hi Kim, 
Halifax (Faxie, Faxington, Sir Faxalot, although my Mom calls him Hal) continues to bring us great joy. He is Nutley's best pal, and even Macka thinks he's not so bad. They regularly play tag and chase each other all over the house, clambering up the cat tree, leaping and skidding across the dining room table on the way down.

Faxie's favorite thing in the whole world, though, is anything with a jingle on it. He has the keenest hearing - disturb one tiny little bell and he's there in a flash from the furthest part of the house. When he's bored he'll drag a jingle toy over to one of us and demand that we make it dance for him. It's hilarious to hear him drag one of those plastic wands up or down the stairs with the end of it hitting every single stair as he goes.

Mealtime is very popular with all the kids, but Faxie is the most vocal, singing for his supper. He's chatty in general, which we find very endearing. He's such a gifted conversationalist and greets us with chirrups, kisses and head butts.

Fax is helpful around the house too. He makes a point of sitting directly on whatever I'm studying, in order to stress its importance. He selects pens he thinks are just wrong for the notes I'm taking and throws them on the floor.

Everyone who sees Halifax thinks he's just beautiful (an understatement).

Jessie is 10 lbs and Nellie is 13 lbs. She's the size of a Welsh Corgie!  These girls sure keep my camera busy.  No one has attacked the Christmas ornaments.  Such good manners.

Here's a photo of CFA Champion Premier Kim's Catwalk Shannon.

It was taken March 2007 at Cat'n on the Fox Cat Club Show in Naperville, Illinois.

Way to go Shannon!

The boys are great! Benny will be 2 years old on February 20, and Charlie will be 3 years old on April 25.

Charlie always has different expressions on his face. They are so good together.

Kisses to all. Sandy and Marty

Hi Kim,
Bear and Maxx are about 1 ½ years old now and I have to tell you how wonderful and how much fun they are. Bear is about 22 lbs and Maxx 20. And boy, do they like to eat. I’m constantly filling their dry food bowls. In the morning I split a can of cat food between them and Maxx stands up and puts his paws on the top of the counter to watch me fill the bowls.

They act like the brothers that they are. They are constantly chasing each other around the house and wrestling, but they also have their quiet times when they groom each other. We have an open ceiling in our living room and you can often find one or both of them up on the beams surveying their kingdom.

Maxx is the inquisitive one. He follows me around the house to see what I am doing and when I sit down, say to work on the computer, he lays down next to me.  And when he wants something, he chirps and trills until he gets it.

Bear is the wild one. He likes to play fetch with his toy mice. He will bring a mouse to me, then move back a few feet and crouch down until I fling it across the house. He takes off at full speed and usually does not stop in time and crashes into walls and furniture. He picks up the mouse, brings it back and drops it back at my feet so we can do it again. His favorite time to do this is when I’m getting ready for work in the morning. He jumps up and opens the bathroom door, drops off his mouse and heads back out to wait for me to toss it.

Kim, I want to thank you again for getting Bear and Maxx off to such a great start. They are such a well behaved and loving pair of cats. If you ever are in the Kenosha area, please stop by and say hi.
