Khepri loves being a mother second only to hounding us....
 | A Very pregnant Khepri - day 64... |
Khepri and Shai - A Kyrie repeat!!!
Nobody does it like Pasha K... Mother extreme, she has her three new boys settled into the middle of
the bed... She alternates between moving them out of the covers and under the covers and
periodically comes out into the kitchen to see what is going on, but for the most part she keeps an
eagle eye on her three youngest children... The youngest of this current swarm of kittens, they already
outweigh all the others!! Khepri does not allow them to want or to cry... Which is nice, since we sleep
curled around them... Have to admit, I have rarely seen anything so spotty as the first silver boy when
he came out the sack - reminds me in a big way of another notable kitten about a year and a half ago -
that child became our one and only GC BW Emau's Kyrie... This boy looks pretty promising as
well!!!
There is something so very special about our Pasha K with babies... She is in her element with
sucklings under paw... It's funny you know, someone said once that one of the wonderful things
about Maus is that while ALL kittens are cute and beautitful and Mau kittens are no exception, the
Maus are one of those special breeds that become MORE beautiful as they mature... Looking at
Khepri nursing her babies I have to nod my head in complete agreement... It is hard to imagine
anything more stunning... Of course, come to think of it, I was the one who made that initial
comment, so of course I agree <g>. Although looking at her below, I'd hazard a guess most of you
would agree as well!!
Khepri and Soleil... Magic again
The second match with Soleil gave us a very special litter of five... And in that litter was Emau's
Amauzing Grace... A cat with the face of an angel and a sweet, loving, sensitive personality that
embodied the soul of "Mau" Grace's first show was the International... She finalled there in her first
ring out of hundreds of kittens and went on to have quite a promising beginning to a kitten career and
then she developed a pyometra and had to be spayed... She makes her home now in DC and bring
laughter and love to all who meet her...

| Khepri daughter Extraordinaire |
Shai's first litter... At least we know the Teaser son is not shooting blanks! Two contrasty silvers -
larger the moment they were born than Spirit's older babies... Huge, healthy spotty. a boy and a girl,
both silvers... Khepri is now raising four of Spirit's babies.

 |
| Kyrie grows up... | Doesn't She remind you of half sister Pounce?? |
Khepri and Soleil .....An interesting crew of Heart thieves!
 |
 |
| Difficult to describe Pounce's difficult, but endearing
personality | perhaps the expression above does it best.. |
|
| Soleil's first litter!!! After 24 straight days of cycling we gave in and let Khepri initiate him. The first
match of our Canadian boy with the gentle purr and green green eyes with our one and only Pasha K.
produced a little one that wormed her way into my heart and home the day she was born: GC
BW RW Emau's
Mau Pounce For The Ounce, DM is the perfect combination of Soleil's sweet gentle nature and Khepri's
spunky intelligent self... It's hard to describe this crew of five - lovely and ethereal like their father
probably comes closest. Can't quite manage a picture that captures the incredible personalities though
- so sweet and gentle and incredibly curious and interactive - at a very early age... |
|
 |
| Well, this crew has that food priority thing down pat! |
|
|
Introducing.... Our newest flirt .... Emau's Mau Pounce For The Ounce!
 |
 |
|
| She's always on the move - purr accompanies.. |
 |
 |
| Pounce at five weeks....First to eat cat food - first to try her
teeth on thumbs as well | her next step? to drag it off to her lair... So confusing to her
little self when it wouldn't come! |
 |
 |
| My Pounce...This one has a way about her... |
| Five weeks old and ready to slay dragons.. |
| at the tender age of ten weeks... |
 |
Heaven help the judges when this little girl hits the stands! She's a killer with a teaser...
| More Pounce.... | an 11 week old flirt..... |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Pounce with the little ones... | Oh those gorgeous eyes.... |
 |
 |
 |
| I do love beautiful green eyes! | can you see the "trouble" that radiates | from this busy child?! |
|
| Almost ready for her show debut - just two short weeks away... |
Khepri and Trapper - The second time....Could it be - Back
to the Future?! Most definitely!!!

Yes, we went back to where it all began - the match that created Spirit and Ghost... can't argue with
success. This time around - FIVE. Four silvers and a smoke! Per usual, Khepri initially installed the
five on our bed and even though it was king size, we ran out of room fast. She was pleased as punch
with herself - loved to snuggle with them under the comforter. Weaning and litterbox training, were,
however issues that became crisis at around four weeks!! Both David and I drew the line at putting a
training box on our bed! Actually, Khepri was more than willing to be reasonable - since she got her
way for the first three weeks. Somewhere around four weeks the babies enter the dreaded "fuzzy
uglies". They are cute as bugs, but their incredible spots go into hiding behind fuzzy kitten coats and
will not reappear in their final glory until close to 16 weeks of age .... At four weeks of age, however
we do start to see real personalities develop!
