Hello,
I just wanted to wish you a very happy holiday season. I am attaching some pictures of Gus. He has simply been the most delightful addition to our home. Every person that meets him instantly falls in love. We couldn't be happier with his loving, playful and at times mischievous nature. I was just admiring some of the photos on your website (I like the upgraded site a lot) and I was hoping you could refresh my memory as to which one your lady cats is Gus's mom. I seem to have forgotten. Just curious.

Best wishes,
Alhambra and Andy

Dear Connie & Jim

Cort and I wanted to give you an update on Mortimer. He is such a wonderful cat that we have a hard time remembering that we've only had him for such a short amount of time! He is growing like a weed and by the looks of these paws, he has a lot more growing to do!

He sleeps nearly every night wedged in between our pillows and wakes up with me in the morning for breakfast. He purrs while he eats and has a huge appetite. He loves to play with mice and even plays fetch with us. I think we have 2 dozen mice scattered around the house that he has played with until they got stuck somewhere that he can't reach. Every couple of days, we reach around furniture & under the couch to replenish his hunting basket.

In the past two weeks he has lost all his baby teeth - even that didn't stop his mouse-play! He really is a happy cat, and very popular with everyone who visits. Our young neices were here for Thanksgiving and poor Morty had to deal with 2 squealing little girls always looking for him. Cort made a little cat door into the part of the basement where his food, water & litterbox is so at least he had an escape hatch when the kids got a little too excited. :)

Anyway, Morty has been a joy for us both. His stocking is filled with mice for Christmas this year. We hope that you both and all of your feline friends have a happy holiday season!
