'Heaven Sent' Kitten with the ability to predict seizures!
I know you'll also love to hear this AMAZING story about these EXTRA special little girls you bred!... I know I often call them my 'angels', but the other day Willow Alaska truly was INCREDIBLE, like my very own precious fluffy angel!
We were at my place and Jim (Boyfriend) and Tiger Lily were having a little afternoon nap in the lounge. Alaska had just settled down too, after beginning to purr away as she arranged her favourite blanket into just the perfect cozy arrangement she wanted it in. She looked so happy - like I wouldn't hear a peep from her for at least an hour or three!
But I had not long left the room when Willow Alaska came flying down the other end of the house frantically screeching and squaaking at me! I got quite a fright as Alaksa has the quietest softest voice I have ever heard, and usually even when she's ravenous hungry for dinner and tries with all her might, the tiniest 'squeak' comes out of her mouth! Her eyes were also wide with terror - like nothing I've ever seen from her... Alaska's eyes are only ever full of wonder, curiosity and awe at the world! When I asked her what was wrong, she sprinted to the lounge - I followed, but only found everything just as I had left it.
Everything appeared fine, Jim and Tiger Lily were still resting... It wasn't until I asked Jim if he was OK and he opened his eyes and went to reply, that he suddenly realized all his speech and language had disappeared and he couldn't talk. I remembered then that he had complained of leg cramp before his rest and I suddenly realized that this was the onset of a seizure (due to his brain cancer) just like what had happened in hospital several months earlier.
I still can't believe it when I think about it now... Somehow Willow Alaska had sensed something was very wrong and had warned me in JUST ENOUGH TIME for me to administer the anti-seizure medication, get him in a safe place and get a phone to call the ambulance, before the convulsions started when I would have found it impossible! I've never had to do any of that before, and to have those precious few minutes warning is something I can never be thankful enough for!
I know ALL of your kittens you breed are simply beautiful and I would have been happy with any two of them, but I prayed I would get the RIGHT two kittens, and I definitely believe I did! I truly believe my girls are 'HEAVEN SENT', fancy having a kitten that can sense seizures!!! Andboth the girls were concerned and refused to move from the bed the morning after Jim was discharged from hospital, they stayed there all morning on my pillow just watching Jim while he slept... They didn't leave the bed until Jim got up and they knew he was alright! They are just sooooooooo amazing! Thank you so much for breeding them!
Hope all is well with you and your family :)
Talk soon, Carleen x
ps. Jim is fine now :)

Hi Michelle
I want to thank you so much for our amazing new addition to our family - Paris! Words cannot express how much we love her! We know she is a very special wee girl as she is your very first lilac mitted kitten that you've bred and we want you to know that we are very honored to have her as our very first Ragdoll!
We certainly did our research and were very 'fussy' about the breed of kitten we would be looking for as we are NZKC Reg breeders of Maltese and our dogs and puppies all live in our home with us so we we knew the type of temperament we wanted in a cat so once we decided on a Ragdoll to be the best breed to fit in with our other fur-babies here, we started visiting several Ragdoll breeders. We weren't easy to please, as I wanted to ensure we not only had a kitten with a fabulous nature - but I also wanted the very best quality kitten I could find that would be suitable to Show, and potentially to breed from also. We also know how important it is that our kitten be raised in a home (not in a cage) so this is another reason why we approached Michelle, as we wanted a kitten who had been bought up in a family atmosphere, who was used to being around children and other animals, and wanted our new kitten to be bought up the same way we bring up each of our puppies - showered with love from birth! This is why we were delighted to have a 'Truly Scrumptious' Ragdoll kitten (and not just ANY kitten - but a rare Lilac Mitted!), and during the many phone calls and emails it was obvious that Michelle and I have so much in common - especially the love and passion we share for our animals that we share our homes and our lives and our hearts with.
Our family could not have wanted more in a kitten…My three daughters have their new best friend and she literally follows us all around like one of my dogs do! Paris is so much fun to watch playing and finds anything amusing - whether it be chasing her toys around the ground, or jumping inside a plastic bag to 'hide' and then pounce out at any unsuspecting victim, or carrying around items of interest inside her mouth - just like a puppy would! Everyone loves her and she's such a smoocher and has the most amazing purr - she is constantly purring and happy to be held by anyone.
She's always happy and is contented as long as there is someone around to 'hang out' with - whether its sleeping with the kids on their beds, or being wheeled around by my 4 yr old in a dolls pram, or jumping into one of my Maltese beds and cuddling up against them - she is just so cruisy!
So as you can gather - our darling Paris has fitted right in with our family since day 1 and anyone would think she's been here forever. She is constantly wanting to play with my Maltese - especially our wee 5 mth old Maltese, Mini. They are hilarious together and are never far apart from each other. For a few weeks Paris found that my Maltese are so placid that one of them was even willing to even let her suckle! It was so funny one Sat avo we had visitors around and my husband told us to look down to see our 2 yr old Maltese girl Nina - lying on her back while Paris has a 'dry' suckle off her! (No she had no puppies and isn't even pregnant lol) She was lying there purring flat out while Nina lays there contented to let this new arrival have her way - thankful this stage didn't last for more than a couple of weeks lol!
Paris has such a great personality - she's playful but also very laid back which is why she fits in so well here - friends come and visit and comment on how she could so easily be one of my maltese puppies lol!
Thanks so much again for Paris - she's one much loved member of our family and brings us so much joy, fun, love and cuddliness all wrapped up in one cute-as bundle - she certainly is one very Truly Scrumptions wee kitty!
With love from Toni Fanfulla and family at Fanfare Maltese, Tauranga xoxox
