Cloud (Ozspots Venus) is one of the sweetest cats I’ve ever met, bright-eyed and bold and curious. She’s also fully grown now – and at a year and a half old she’s had a couple’ve heat cycles already. She’s not a very loud caller, but she clearly knows what she wants, and what she wants is a tomcat. Right now please.
Unfortunately George (Ozspots Pennyroyal) isn’t showing any interest as yet. He’s still growing (he still hasn’t completely grown into his paws, and he’s almost 6 kg now!) and he’s still too much of a kitten to know what to do with a calling queen. He knows something’s going on, but not exactly what to do about it. Cloud was getting quite frustrated with him. Hopefully he’ll work it out by next spring; all the advice we’ve had has been that slow maturing boys often make the best stud cats.
In the meantime, though, Cloud really needed some attention, so we’ve sent her on a little adventure to meet a gentleman by the name of Ozspots Golden Eagle. On Wednesday morning, we got up especially early (even before the chickens, or the neighbour’s rooster) so we could take our beloved Cloud to the airport. She’s off to Adelaide for a few weeks to visit Golden Eagle there. She’s having her first date today, and I think it’s going well so far.
With any luck, by the end of Feb she’ll be happy and satisfied, back home with kittens on the way.
