Hi Kathy,
It has been so long. I had a health issue this summer and had to have surgery in September. Seems as though something is always going on. I hope you and your family, kitties and all, are all doing well. I wanted to update you on one of the sweetest kittie in the world....Zeeba (Devine Diva). She is just so gorgeous and I think she looks so much like her daddy, Calypso. I am sending you some pictures so you can see her fabulous spots. They are so large and have rosetted beautifully. My husband says she is changing and growing more beautiful each day...she has REALLY grown on him! :) Imagine that, lol. She is in perfect health and is the Queen of the house! She talks in many different voices, each with its own meaning. When she really wants to get our attention she uses her He-Man voice, lol, nothing like the normal cat voice. I have to stop and look at her to make sure that voice came out of her sweet little self.

We have enjoyed her more than we ever thought. She will soon be 8 months old and will be able to be shown as an adult. There are no shows close to here until after the first of the year. I will then show her and she certainly will put on a good showing.

I am still hoping you will be able to have her bred to one of your fine studs. Your website is fabulous and it really shows off all the beauty and quality you have developed. I am sending you some pictures of "Zeeba". I am so proud of her and love to show her off. Sweet Fusion and Calypso really out did themselves with her and their newest kittens on the website.

I will let you go for now and hope to visit with you in the future regarding possible breeding once she starts her heat cycles.

Hope you enjoy the pictures!
Happy Holidays and best regards,

Joni

Hi Kathy,

Well what can I say. This is the 4th cat I have gotten from you and again I am blown away of the unbelivable beauty and quality of our new baby, and all of my cats. She is everything I hoped for and more! She is so sweet and loving. She had no fear of the dogs or other cats and I think Rosie thinks she is her baby. She started to clean her and cuddle up to her like she was mommy. I didn't even have her in the house for a half an hour and she was already playing with the other cats, found her litter box and fountain. She rode on the dash board of the truck on our way home from the airport and was as confortable as could be.

I look forward to building my breeding program with more of what I feel are the finest quality bengal cats I have ever seen. Thank-you so much!!! Sierra Gold Bengals are the best!!!

Denice.

Kathy
Thank you so much!

She is so awesome.. no words to describe what she does for us as far as pleasure to the eye to watch and her curiosity and the amusement she brings. She totally adapted and is so smart. Her beauty is beyond words.

We love her and there are no words to say enough about her.

A pet so wonderful says a lot about you...
thank you for raising her so well!!!!

We are so happy,

LOVE,
Neal, Nancy and Christian.

Just wanted to drop you a quick note, I love my kitty!!! 

He is everything you said he would be.  Absolutely adorable, incredibly cute, lovable, purrs constantly, very vocal (which I love) and just precious.

I showed him to my sister and my neighbor and they are envious of how precious he is.

I called you from the airport when he got him, his flight was late, got home and gave him some food and water, naturally he was a little scared, we sat on the floor and just lovingly talked to him and he came out from under the bed, came by me so I can pick him up, just gave him hugs and kisses.  He ended up sleeping right next to me, naturally woke up in the middle of the night a couple of times ready for play mode ~ Saturday morning was more of the same...we played alot, he came by us more, by Sunday its as if he's been with us for a while; he comes up to me and wants to be petted, talks all the time, sits next to me, crawls in my lap.

He has started to roam the house now to investigate his new home and runs around wildly, plays with all his toys.  I love him so much!  He is just the sweetest kitty, he has even melted my husband, he'll come and just spread himself out right next to him.

Just wanted to say thanks again.  I only have the one, I can only imagine how you feel with a whole house full!

Warm Regards,

Lori

What can I say....She is a doll!!!  We couldn't be happier with our new little baby.  Thank you soooo much.

I am still hoping for another kitty soon, but for now I think I will just enjoy her.

 

 

Thanks again!!!

Subject: Bengal UPDATE

 

Hi Kathy,

Sorry we haven't talked in such a long time. I know you are a very busy woman... I just got through browsing your website. I saw that the Safari Room is completed. It looks wonderful!! Here is a quick update of the two half siblings sired by your Champ Gogees Rio De Oro (of SierraGold). I did manage to get my

two kittens in Hawaii without any problems...they love it here and we even build an outdoor enclosure for them to play. Thank you so much for producing such beautiful and well tempered Bengals. Everyone that comes over to our house is amazed by them. People are always asking where I got these gorgeous cats...then I send them along to your website. Hahaha!!

Truthfully, now that we have Shombay and Shawnee as part of our family....I don't know what I'd do without them!! They have learned to have more patience with my 3 1/2 year old...and she has learned how to care for and respect animals. They have both become very talkative ....  =)

Thank you again Kathy, for your hard work and dedication to this breed and your commitment to finding each kitten the purr-fect family. As a true Bengal fan...there really is no better breed to fall in love with!

Sincerely,

Jennifer K. and family

Subject: Update on the 3 kittens

 

Hi Kathy,

Just wanted to let you know how the kittens are doing.  Tessa (Rebel x Sabrina) is a little wild cat, doesn't stop moving untill she's ready to drop. Then she demands pets and cuddles, now!  Her face is beautiful with the prettiest markings and colors. Her coat has bold dark spots and so silky.  If I pat my shoulder she jumps on and goes for a ride.

Kintaro (aka Kinny) (Calypso x Urockgirl) is huge, 2 weeks younger than Tessa he is a 1 1/2 pounds heavier.  His color has begun to darken to the orange of his dad, but he has Rocky's wild head and neck. The rosetted spots just become more and more striking. What a beautiful cat.  He is so sweet and loving, purring and kneading at just the hint of cuddles.

Alicia's kitten, the little one, Absolute (aka Abby) (Calypso x Passion) is a doll and so fiesty. She has lost the kitten clumsies and runs and plays with her older cousins, never backing done from any game. Her silver marble coat was always striking, but now it's awesome.  Her huge eyes and wild face make her look like an elf or a pixie cat. The vet had a hard time listening to her heart, because she wouldn't stop purring.  What a little love.

I feel so lucky to have found you and your husband when I started looking for a Bengal cat. (Notice I said "a" Bengal, as in "one".  lol...)  The love you have for them shows in every kitten.

Thank you for the additions to my little family,

Pam

Hello Kathy,

I wanted to thank you again for such a wonderful kitten, and all of the help and information. She was really nervous after the ride home, but she is doing just fine now. I'm sure that people will inquire about where I got this special cat from, and I will of course refer you. It is obvious that you care not only about these cats, but also the people they go to....

Thanks Again

Sim

Venus is a silly kitten. She loves the vaccuum hose. If you're using just the hose (like when you take off the head to suck up stuff in a corner) she wants to put her paw down the hose. She has a great time doing this. I got her on video doing it, and when my mom turned the vaccuum off, she protested, meowing for her to turn it back on. When mom tried to vaccuum, she jumped on the bed and pawed her, so mom put the hose up there and Venus rubbed it across her side back and fourth. Not only does she like to stick her paws in the hose, she apparenlty likes to be vaccumed. It's so funny!

She's just WAY too sweet. I held her in the suv because she got LOUD in the crate. (wow! she can scream LOL)

She purred and rubbed and even licked my face."Thank you for letting me out of there!", she seemed to say.

My husband put his hand over to pet her and she licked his hand too.  She is prettier in person than she is in the pictures. Nice small ears, great profile. Chin is better than I expected too.  It goes to show you pictures don't tell the whole story.

I feed my cat's royal canin, so there shouldn't be any food adjustment issues.

Thank you again for this kitten.

Warm regards,

Alanna

Hi Kathy,
My fiance, Kevin, and I were fortunate enough to buy 2 kittens from you last year--their birthday was March 1st, 2006. Just to update you--they have been nothing but fun for us ever since they arrived in our home!! Casper (formerly Moonshadow) plays fetch and loves catching his toys while jumping into the air-always entertaining! And Winston also loves making long and high leaps from cabinets and bookshelves. Kevin and I just want to thank you so much for making these guys available for us--we love them dearly! Attached is a picture of them cuddling together (a favorite past-time) in their cat tree, even though they are a little to big to fit in there!

Again, thanks for everything!

Best,
Heather

(Sunny and Adam purchased a silver spotted girl Cicely the end of last year and now have this gorgeous marble girl, Ceile, to love also!)

 

......Yes, Ceili is absolutely gorgeous!  I am just amazed at her beauty so often Her back is perfectly symmetrical too! She's just breathtaking. And Cecily is still lacking some contrast, I think, but it doesn't matter. She's the greatest cat you could ask for. (Ceili is a little troublemaker!) She's taken to rolling onto her back so that we'll rub her tummy, which is a new thing; makes me tear up everytime because it's so cute! 

We just adore both of them and are SO glad that we decided to get our cats from you.  

....Here's a pictures of Ceili, trying to attack the chandelier. It's been there as long as the cats have but, within the past few days, they act like they've never seen it before and circle it, howling. Very weird, but cute. Enjoy!

Starlight

 

Hi Kathy!
Just got in! Let Starlight out of the carrier, and she looked around, knocked the toy basket over and started playing with her toys. My other Bengal still hasn't quite understood what is going on, but she is really curious about what is going on. Give them a couple of days. I am really impressed with this kitten! She isn't afraid at all, instead is begging to play!

Thanks for such a wonderful purchase! David, Reno, NV
