Calling All Gray Kitty Fans!

I know we've got a lot of gray kitty fans in the crowd (like Dan N, for example) so we put together a little gray kitty pack of postcards and they're now listed in the IBKC Shop!

Featured in this set are a floofy Langston Von Tussle, wide-eyed Lucille Plunkett, itty-bitty Hazel Swift,  a very plush Thelma Lyttelton, Fielding Mittenfloss with his corduroy cheeks, and very velvety Forrest and Pearl Mae Petrie!

If gray kitties make you weak, this set is for you!

The postcards are a nicely weighted stock with rounded corners and a lovely satin matte finish. On the back of the card there's a tiny photo of the featured kitten and their name too, so you know who is who. They're sold in a set of six cards (one of each design) and you can purchase them with or without envelopes.

We always offer a little bonus whenever we launch new design, so while supplies last, we'll be giving away a "Kisses the Kitten" postcard with each pack cards that your purchase.

 

We've also added more Sparkle Balls in the shop! We've restocked our usual color packs, added some Jumbo Packs of Sparkle Balls, and just in time for Saint Patrick's Day, we've listed some green and gold Charlene O'Butterbean Sparkle Balls for Lucky Cats and Kittens. We've got a very limited supply of the St Patty's day packs,  so please act fast if you want to pick some up for your cats!

Look!!! Lytteltons!!!

Claire, mama to Ridley and Thelma, surprised me yesterday with a nice little update on her babes.   Here's what she had to say...


Laurie! I just thought you might like an update and perhaps some photos! They are the most charming little kittens. When I get home from work they rush to the door to wrap themselves around my feet. It's such a heartwarming way to come home from a long day at work! They have become quite talkative little rascals and are always sure to let me know when they think it's time for breakfast. I can't thank you enough for helping to bring them into my life.


It's so good to see them again.  It's hard to believe how big they are.  I know,, I always say that,, but it's always true.   In my mind, they always remain kittens.  

Take a look at this beautiful pair.  They look so healthy and strong and their coats are shiny.  

See for yourself...









Thanks so much for sharing, Claire!   I know everyone will be excited to see these pictures!!   Please give them some love from all of us!!

It's Movie Time!

More Goodbyes

At this time, all the Lyttletons are nestled into their new homes and getting to know their new families. As you can imagine, six rambunctious kittens create a fair amount of noise, so now that they're gone, It's VERY quiet here.

All the parties departed within a couple of days of each other - Ezra was the first, next came Thelma and Ridley.

Thelma and Ridley got picked quick by their mama, Claire. She came to meet them one afternoon, and minutes later, she decided they would be the two for her.

They do make a great pair. They've always enjoyed the pleasure of each other's company, and out of all the kittens, Thelma's always been the best at keeping her rowdy brother in check. (Ridley's a bit of a butt biter)

I know they'll be so happy with Claire. She's very excited to be a new kitty mama, and is taking lots of steps to spoil her babies.


She emailed right after the kittens got home to let me know all was well. Here's what she had to say...

The little kittens love their new home! I have never seen a kitten (or any baby animal) take to its new home as quickly as these two did! They are totally at ease and almost too cuddly and adorable to handle (almost...)

It's always nice to know they're doing so well, so soon.

Hooray!

: )

Thelma Thursday Continues...

Thelma thinks inside the box.

It's Thelma Thursday!

All Thelma,, all day long!

Next Best Thing to Being There

Skype! Yep, that's my mom, skypin' with the kittens. And yep, we do these little kitty conference calls with all the litters.

A Whole Lot of Lytteltons

Now that you've met all the little ones,,, here are a few shots of the family unit.

They are a close knit bunch, and are all usually within arms distance of each other. They're very people oriented too, and are happy to meet anyone who comes into their room. They are just friendly little beings.

We've still got a week of quarantine left, which won't come soon enough for this brood. They are already screaming at the door to get out. It's nearly impossible to get through the door without one (or six) dashing out.

Last time we had such a large litter was the Pettibones. It certainly means more kitten dishes to wash and poop to scoop, but they're worth it. They really are a lovely little group - each is so sweet and friendly and of course, adorable. It's such a pleasure getting to know them!

But Wait... There's More!

We're not done yet,, there's a SIXTH Lyttelton left to introduce...

Meet the darling and delightful Thelma Lyttelton!
