How do I love her, let me count the ways....more than I could possibly imagined. She's everything I dreamed of and more! There could not be a better cat out there for my family. She slept all the way home on the floor of the car, what a great traveler. And slept the last three nights with my husband and I and he didn't have any kind of allergic reaction! Hooray! The kids are in heaven as well, she can actually outlast my son which is a feat in itself! And she has to be everywhere and anywhere there is any action, follows me from room to room, she is even helping me type this as I speak. I have never owned a purebred cat before but I can tell you right now I have fallen in love with the Devon Rex (especially mine) and I will never have another breed. Oh by the way, we have named her Annie B. Warbucks after your Hollywood theme. (We call her Annie!) Thanks again for all your help. Annie sends you her love too!

Take care and have a great day!

Diane and Family

It has been a month now that we've had Annie and I can't even imagine life without her, it's like she has always been part of our family. She is so very spoiled and treated like a new born baby, with lots of attention and lots of love. My husband and son are the two big toys to play with, and when she is tired from all that play she comes to my daughter or I for rest and pampering. What a life! She appears to be the social butterfly of the family and whenever we have company she visits each and every person in turn. The last guest had obviously never seen or heard of devon rex's and when he saw Annie he said, "Man....., did you give your cat a hair cut?" Too funny! (I tried not to laugh) The other great news is Bobby's mom came to visit for a few days and she is deathly allergic to cats, even to the point of asthma attacks, and she had not one problem. I'll send pictures you pictures soon. I'm so glad I found you, we really love Annie so much!

Talk to you soon,

Diane

Sorry, it has taken me so long to reply but I use my parents computer when I am at there house. Now that I have Jack, I don't seem to get over here as much. His eyes are still an aqua blue color which I love. He has such a great personality and always wants lots of attention. I noticed recently that he has started to get more hair. It's really noticeable on his back. But his wrinkly forehead is still the same. He does always look like he is question everything. He has a great attitude towards new people too. Whenever family or friends come over he just gets right in the middle of everything. He's very comfortable in any social situation. I can't figure out the Q-tip thing. He gets so excited when I get them out. My favorite thing is that he does the halloween pose and stalks the Q-tips. Anyway, Jack is adjusting fine and is training me to live in his apartment. Talk to you soon!

Cheryl

I hope you remember me. It's been a long time. I just wanted to take a moment and update you on the little Devon you sold me. Jack is doing fine. He's updated on all his shots and seems to love living with me. Pretty soon he'll be eight months old. His favorite thing to do is sit in the window and watch all the neighbors come and go. We just got our tree today and he is so excited. Christmas is going to be a really great this year.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for giving me such a wonderful little character in my life. I can't tell you how grateful I am. I just took a whole bunch of pictures of him. I'll mail them to you soon. Hope all is well. Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Sincerely,

Cheryl

I have been meaning to write you for so long to tell you what a great cat Pope is.

He has really turned the household upside down. He is Huge! Pope has really stolen the hearts of allot of our friends and family because of his gregarious behavior. He constantly wants to be involved in every dinner party and social function. You can never use the internet without his paw hitting the wrong button. Feel free to use me as a reference.

JOHN

Alvin is doing GREAT!! He is such a good cat, he loves to be pet and play!! He is a little nervous around our dogs, but he is slowly getting used to them. Thanks sooooo much!!

Brittany

Well, we made it home before the traffic got bad. Milo did a little crying in his box, so I opened the top to pet him, and he purred and clutched my hand the whole way home. He doesn't seem to care what's going on (big rigs passing by, etc.) as long as he can feel a human touch...sigh! My heart is already swelling :-)

Once home, I showed him his potty box and he relieved his bursting bladder...ha! Then I showed him his water and dry food and also dished him out some wet food. No problem chowing that down! He's got a great appetite just like you mentioned. Since his snack, he has literally attached himself to me. Right now he is on my shoulder licking my face and ear and swatting at loose pieces of my hair. What a cutie...I'm in love : -)

Especially that little "squeak" that comes out of his mouth...it sorta goes "eee-eee"...I make the same sound back to him and we have been conversating back and forth. I must say he reminds me sorta like a mini-cougar with his creamy fur and stocky build. If he was a girl, I might have called him Elsa (Born Free).

Well, I'm not sure if he can get in out of my twin bed yet, so I'm dragging the quilt and pillows down to the floor so we can have a nap together. I'm pleasantly surprised how happy he seems with me already. I think we're going to be a nice match. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

We'll e-mail you an update in a few days...

Edie & Milo

24 hours later, and we've bonded like Super glue! I introduced Milo to a couple of neighbor friends today...and after commenting on how adorable he is, they also noticed how attached he seems with me. Like when they held him, he would look around for me and his face would brighten when he spotted me.

His favorite toy? It's from a cat toy manufacturer called Metropolitan and it's a wand with a (hook-less) fishing lure tied to it with fishing line. (Sounds a bit dangerous, so I keep it on the fridge when not playing!) The fishing lure is a mouse made from a small piece of moose hide/hair (body of mouse) and a small scrap of suede leather (for the ears and tail). When I move the wand around the floor, the spring-like action of the fishing line makes the mouse dart around realistically. Milo goes BONKERS! He does an "up in the air" four-paw pounce that totally cracks me up!

Speaking of which, I have laughed so much since he arrived that I now realize how much I was missing having a cat for the past 3-4 years! Laughter IS the best medicine and I even feel less bothered by my arthritis!!

While sleeping, he cuddles in the crook of my elbow and warms me up like a hot water bottle :-)

Milo seems to know his name already. I bet you taught him that! He is so well-adjusted, happy and independent. No doubt due to the wonderful care and attention he received from you and Mama Cher!

Feel free to cut and paste any of my e-mails to use on your web site. Plus, over this weekend, I'll e-mail you a glowing recommendation and many happy comments from a very, very satisfied customer!!!

many thanks,

Edie

Several years after my last cat passed away, I started looking for a new feline companion. I previously owned a Siamese but felt that getting another would be like trying to replace the one I loved so much.

I first became acquainted with the Devon Rex through my sister. She suffers from cat allergies and finds that Rex's are the only cat breed she can live with comfortably, due to their unique coat of hairless, downy fur. I twice had the pleasure of cat-sitting for her and discovered there's a lot more to Devon's than less sniffling and sneezing. These cats are dynamic!

The initial impression one gets upon seeing a Devon Rex is that they look a lot like "Yoda" from the Star Wars movie. Peach fuzz skin, wrinkled forehead and pixie face with huge eyes and ears! But that's where the comparison ends. Unlike the old and wise Yoda, Devon's are delightful, entertaining and totally unpredictable. Think of a kitten that never grows up!

My search for a breeder led me to Jeannie Kelley's web site called Movieland Cattery. As the name implies, her Devon's are named after movie stars...there's the glamorous Cher, handsome Elvis and every-funny Lucy. Jeannie's love of Devon's is extremely contagious. She is a knowledgeable and experienced breeder who works hard to raise the newborn kittens and prepare them for their new homes. In January 2001, I paid a deposit for a kitten in Cher's upcoming litter.

Cher gave birth to her litter on February 5th. I chose a little cream boy with mackerel tabby markings and named him Milo. Jeannie sent me weekly e-mail updates until he was ready to leave his mom about three months later. The pictures and stories helped me bond with Milo even before I held him.

Today, Milo and I are inseparable buddies. He is healthy, happy and full of personality. His funny antics have me laughing harder than I ever thought possible. Milo will jump into the bathtub and join me for a shower. He likes to ride on the vacuum cleaner around the house. His favorite toy is a canvas-covered stuffed animal for dogs. And when my sweet little boy tuckers out, he curls up in my lap and purrs himself to sleep.

Edie

Dear Jeannie,

Sorry it has been so long.  I have been meaning to write again.  We just saw his new picture on your site with his cute little sweater.  The whole family adores him so much.  It was very hard after the loss of our dog, but, Hershey came and filled a void in out hearts.  He has especially gotten to my Mom who like every grandma spoils him rotten. (he he)  He sleeps with me or my son and always lays with my Mom during the day he loves the back of the chair.  And boy can he 'chatter' at all the birds, he loves looking out side but hates when we go out without him.  I will be sending pictures of out angel soon.  I just wanted to thank you again, you have given us the most beautiful and loving gift ever.

Talk to you soon,

Christine & Matthew

Oh Jeannie, how wonderful! From the moment I laid eyes on her I was deeply in love, as were my parents.  My Dad said that she needed to stay in one room until she adjusted-that never happened-she came adjusted.  Once he saw her and picked her up that was all it took.  She has been on his lap and my Mom's lap getting all the attention she can stand-it seems she can stand a lot.  Just one look of those beautiful blue eyes and whatever she wants is hers.  She did well using her litter box as soon as I showed it to her.  I may need to get one that isn't so tall, but we will see.  I showed her the food and water, but she wasn't too interested in that yet-too many places to explore.  She has already been such a joy for all of us-even our (70+) little neighbor had to see her.  None of us could believe how petite she is, what a doll.  Thank you so much, I will write again (more coherently).

K. Le Roy

Jeannie,

You can give our e-mail address to your future customers if you like and we will tell them what a ft5g great person you are.  (the funny stuff on the previous line was done by Devonee.)  She had followed me downstairs and got into my lap while I am writing to you and before I could stop her she decided to write to you too.  Jeannie, they are sooooo precious.  Nadine is going to sit down some time in the near future and write you herself.  (woman's view)  I always showed her the letters I wrote you but they were from me.  It was me that has wanted a Devon Rex for so long and when she saw the group picture you sent me and then I showed Nadine the one I was going to get, she fell in love with them too, and we were so great full that you allowed us to get her one also.  Both kittens stayed in our bed last night.  And of course, they have found places in our house that even we didn't know were there.  They withstood the airline trip just great.  When the man put the carrier up on the counter, I put my fingers inside the door and they both came over and rubbed on them, right then I knew that everything was ok.

Please keep in touch,

Bob & Nadine

Jeannie:

We made it home. Meowing all the way! The little boy was a little nervous when we got here but still purred like he had a motor in him. He is eating, drinking & using his litter box! Every couple hours he gets the zoomies and zooms around the house as fast as he can. He found a couch back he liked and slept there last night. We still don't have a name picked, I'll let you know when we do!
Thanks very much for this little sweetheart. He is such a love!
Kala

Just wanted to send you an update on our kitties. After much hissing and lingering stares, Jack is finally taken with Sophie. They are almost completely inseparable. They love to chase each other around the house. First you see Jack go by, then Sophie shortly after. Then a couple seconds later Sophie is in the lead with Jack close in toe. It's just like a day at the races. They clean each other. Sleep curled up together. And if Sophie has misplaced Jack, she cries for him till she can find him again. It's so cute, they have there own language.
I love the little bald, crinkled up forehead when she is thinking. Her favorite toy so far is the computer. She loves the little mouse guide on the computer screen. She'll chase it around and even lick it. She's got a great personality and charm about her. We love her very much. She's the perfect addition to our little family. Thank you!

Thanks Again,
Cheryl

Hi. Trixie is doing very well. She is growing like a weed. We are having a lot of fun with her, she has a mixed personality, sometimes she is off-the-wall playful and just making us laugh at her little antics other times she is very loving and snuggly. If you had asked me before getting a Devon I would never had believed a cat could be like that. We are very excited to get her a little brother to play with. Thanks again! Candace

I am absolutely in love with our new kitty! We've named her Miette - which
is from the movie, City of Lost Children. I thought a movie name was
appropriate, and Miette means "little crumb" in French, although it was a
little girl in the movie.

Today she's catching up on lost sleep from her first few days of "sensory
overload". She's very happy, purrs constantly, sits on my lap while I'm
doing everything, and turns EVERYTHING into a toy or a game. Clearly, you
put a lot of personal energy into her and it shows. She's very "present" to
everyone she meets, very friendly, very interested. She's adjusting to her
new kitty housemates, and they are getting used to her. This morning, both
Miette and Brian (our big Tabby) were sleeping on our bed.

Thanks again.

Denise

Jeannie,

Hena is doing very well she seemed to have adjusted quickly I am just waiting on the resident cat to warm up to her. She is eating and functioning well. She has a good disposition I am very happy with her, I would recommend your cattery.

Thanks

Lou

Chloe is doing wonderfully! She's up to 4 lbs. I continue to be impressed by her self confidence and wonderful personality. You clearly spend a lot of time with your kittens. Thank you!

She is very happy. She's certainly enjoying the warm weather. She has a couple of different cat trees to play on and enjoys the other cat.

Thank you again for keeping the breed going and producing such well adjusted and healthy kittens.

I continue to be most impressed with how well socialized my kitten was. I've gotten other cats from catteries that are very nervous and skittish. I figure the breeders just didn't spend much time with the kittens. This is definitely not the case with Chloe. She owns the house and gets along with our other cat just great.

Sincerely,
Teresa

Well, I've got to run for now, but wanted to let you know things are going smoothly so far....well, our resident cat is not thrilled yet. He is still hissing and being a jerk, but hopefully he'll get over it soon. Oh, and of course you are welcome to use my comments on your web site. I only wish I could have better expressed the delight this little guy is bringing to our family. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!
moura

Thank you very, very much!
Be assured that he will live a long and happy life with us.

I just wanted to let you know, the boy arrived safely last night. He is so affectionate. He came out just wanting love and attention. Not timid at all, he just came out and started purring and nuzzling. He follows me around and likes to play a lot. He likes batting at my fingers and then catches one and then bites it. Once in a while, those small teeth hurt.

I also took him to the vet today just to make sure he is healthy. I could tell you what a commotion he caused. All work stopped for at least 10 minutes while everyone took their turns for holding and nuzzling. They all said he was so adorable, even if he was naked. He should be very handsome when his hair grows back. The vet had a hard time listening to his heart because he wouldn't’t stop purring. She would face him towards running water, he would stop, she would then turn around and try to listen; but he would start right up again. I think they gave up.

Thank you again for him. I need to find a name soon so that I could stop calling him boy.

John

She is SO MUCH cuter in person and she is so little. For some reason she looked bigger in the pictures that you sent. She is super affectionate too. When we got in the car I let her out of the carrier and she laid down on my lap and started purring so loud while I was petting her. We got her home and we were awake until about 2am walking her around the house to help her get used to it. She has adjusted very quickly and she seems fearless. She also follows me around everywhere which is so funny….she’s constantly by my side and always watching me…….she’s actually sleeping on my lap right now. Our business is based out of an apartment that we have over one of our garages here at the house, so I got a litter box, food bowls, scratch post and toys for her to play with in the office. She seems very happy here and we are very happy to have her. I wanted you to know that she is very much loved and has found a good home.

I also wanted to thank you for the method in which you shipped her. It’s obvious that you put a lot of care and consideration into the kittens that you sell. The carrier was so nicely put together with its water bowl attached inside and a little bag of kitten food. I was so tickled to find that you had printed out stickers that said my name and Hayley’s name and you placed them on the carrier…what a cute extra touch.

Jeannie, we really do LOVE her….she is such a good companion. She has been sleeping between us at night and last night she discovered that she can actually sleep UNDER the comforter. She got under the comforter and was making the funny noises while she was running around looking for a good spot to lie down. She finally ended up walking back up towards us and just popper her head out enough so that she could see us and she slept that way ALL NIGHT. It was so cute! She looked like she was fighting to keep her eyes open just so she could watch us, she doesn't’t seem to like to miss a trick. Now, the little bugger has started doing something new the last couple of mornings which is…….she likes to wake me up anywhere from 4:30 – 5:30am. She just sits on my chest and licks my face over and over and makes these little talking noises in between which translates to me as IT’S TIME TO WAKE UP SO YOU CAN PLAY WITH ME AND IF YOU DON’T WAKE UP I’M GOING TO KEEP DOING THIS. So you can imagine by now that I’m a bit tired because I’ve had no other choice but to wake up.

I believe you put Aqua on the papers and I think I’m going to leave it that way. You know what’s strange, since she has been with us; her eyes have (for a lack of a better way to describe it) seem to constantly change colors????? They look as if they’re a solid blue color, then later they look as if they’re green and then they look like they’re aqua. It’s the strangest thing but it is soooooooo cool to see her eyes look different colors!

Jeannie, honestly, you have really got it together with this Devon Rex breeding that you’re doing. I am so glad that I bought little Hayley from you. Dealing with you isn’t like just buying a cat from a breeder and then that’s it. It’s a very pleasant and exciting experience!! You’re web site is great, you constantly keep in contact with your customers through e-mail…sending updates on our kitten and pictures of her too!! When you get a kitten from you EVERYTHING is taken care of, spaying, vet, shots….everything!!! And the extra touches on the carrier that you ship her in is fantastic!! This was very exciting for me!!! I love my kitty, thank you SO MUCH for her!!

Thanks, Stacy

I’ll have some Christmas pictures of Haley to send you shortly. Haley has being doing just great…….she is such an awesome cat and we just love her. She still comes up to work with us everyday and she really looks forward to it. When I get up in the morning I ask her if she wants to go to work and she runs around like a nut. Every single night she sleeps on my chest right under my chin and she goes with me EVERYWHERE. This kitty is just getting more and more beautiful everyday, she has the greatest personality and is just so friendly……..she loves everybody. The UPS and Fed ex guys bring her treats almost all the time and everyone in work showers her with gifts. Our offices look more like a kitty play gym then an office with all the stuff we have in here. Anyway, I wanted to look into getting her started in cat shows because she is so great that I think she would win and because she’s so social I think she would love it. She even likes going in the car!!!! Can you believe that? I take her for a ride about 3 times a week and she gets so excited. Do you have any suggestions or information on how I can get started with showing her?

Thanks again for such a great kitty.

Stacy

Just thought you'd like an update on Stripe. He is doing fabulously. He had his first visit to our Vet and came through with flying colors. He made a terrific hit there. Everyone, from the tech's to the Vet himself, told us we were very lucky, that we had a wonderful kitty!! He is so full of personality! He has his clown around moments and his quiet cuddle moments and we love them all! He is extremely tolerant of the kids, who fight over him constantly!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this wonderful addition to our family. We can tell he was raised with a lot of love, cause he gives it to us daily!

Hope all is well.

Debbi

It's almost been a year since Miette has been part of our family - and I
just have to tell you, she is amazing! We are entering a video of her in
Pet Stars. She loves to learn, and she does a variety of tricks - like
turning around, sitting up, rolling over (all on command), spinning a
pinwheel, walking on a ball with her front feet. She will do tricks in
front of people who come to our house because she's a little ham. I want to
contact a trainer for some ideas because she's so teachable and loves to
expand her skills.

I don't know if she is typical of Devon Rex's or unusual - but I think we
got the best one! Just wanted to update you. We love her like a child.

Take care.

Denise

Hey Jeannie!

She arrived safe and well! She is already spoiled and very happy. We weren't too original with the name. We named her Devon. She was really geared up her first night wanting to know the whole layout of the house in which there are 16 rooms. She is now more settled in and is still sleeping . We are already in love with her. Thanks for everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chris

Jeannie:

Kitty is adjusting just fine. He is
currently spazzing and running around like crazy. He
meows, I say "what?" and he comes running. He slept
curled up with me last night. I am smitten!

Thank
you!

Meredith and Chile

Anyway, he is well loved by everyone that meets him,
and I completely adore him. I cannot remember life
before.

Picture attached.

I wanted to let you know how Annie is doing. She is soooo awesome! She is laying on me purring away as I type this. She did so well on the trip home. I don’t think she has hardly stopped purring since we got her!

Peppy, our other Devon was not too happy at first. He hissed, growled and swatted at us for a few days. We kept them separated until Sunday. When we introduced them again he did much better. Now they are playing and licking each other. I think they will really love each other.

Annie is such a little sweetheart; you can tell she has come from a home with a lot of love and attention. She is so well socialized.

She is already fetching her little mice and bringing them back. The other night we did this for an hour straight! We have hardwood floors, so she loves sliding around!

Thanks for breeding such wonderful cats!

Janee

Hi Jeannie,
I wanted to take a minute to let you know how wonderfully Skinny Minney (new name!) has become a member of our family. We all just love her to pieces. She is outgoing, a real in your face kitty just like we wanted. She sleeps either with my daughter or my husband and myself. When I am working in my office she is all over my desk, pushing buttons on the fax and my laptop. She is getting to know our other cat at her own speed. They now can sit several feet apart, but if the other kitty gets too close Skinny Minney arches her back and hisses. She is not shy and has no self esteem issues. You raised her well!
Thank you so much, we adore her.

We absolutely LOVE our Skinny! She is the most interactive, loving, and entertaining kitten we have ever known, far exceeding our expectations.

Thanks!
Helen G.

Hi Jeannie—I just wanted to let you know that Aidan is doing well. He has managed to find every errant cobweb in my house, no small feat in the house of the woman who dusts her dashboard. I’ve attached a couple of pictures of his first days, more will follow as he grows. He’s been to the office with me several times and his flame point has been accentuated by the lipstick applied to his head by my colleagues who just couldn’t resist giving him a smooch. Thank you so much!

Gerrie

Jacob is also wonderful and apparently he did the same bonding thing with Sheridan. He is very sweet and was content to stay in Sheridan's lap most of the entire day at the shower. She was holding him in her baby blanket her grandmother made for her, it was really darling. Jake and Imhotep when they got together kind of growled and weren't really interesting in being together, it seemed to me that both were happy where they went...yeah for us! They played for a moment but lost interest.

Imhotep plays a lot and is curious about everything. When my cats whom, are going through their normal, who are you and why are you here routine, he'll run to me for protection. And, when my girlfriend tried petting him he smelled her hand and knew it wasn't me I went to the other side of the bed and said, here I am, and he bolted to me rubbing against my hand. She bought Imhotep for his shower, a catnip padded blanket he was having a ball. He got all kinds of great things, one is a beautiful blue blanket with his name knitted in it, amazing, and a kitten couch, silver picture, toys, boxes, cat nappers and so on... We took lot's of pictures and when Gloria Wolper gives me some I'll scan them and email them. I had problems with my camera but Gloria loves making pictures. She'd already done all of Imhotep's and had his latest one framed in the silver frame 8x10. Wait till you see the cake she did of him, it is the picture on his invites, IT'S AMAZING! I can't bare to cut it and am taking it into the office on Tuesday.

Kimberly and Marston Hefner came by the shower it was overwhelming, Gloria knows how to make a party special. Marston loved both kittens and is thinking on a black. He's been allergic to cats in the past. He's so well mannered and watch football with David Wolper, he was impressed. Kim left me the most wonderful message about the shower, my friends and how she loved Imhotep. He does has so much personality.

He sleeps right next to me but tonight his carrier is on the end of my bed with his new blanket it in, incase he wants to goes inside that. I notice China checking him out and Imhotep goes inside, so cute, they won't follow, it's his space....he feels safe. I think from the first moment we met we were in love. I talk to him a lot and he responds incredibly.

I'll write more later with pictures because I could go one for hours on how wonderful he is and what a fantastic job you did of raising him with love, both boys are a joy...THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES.

I'm getting pictures form Gloria on Monday then I'm write and send you some.

You're the best and MOVIELAND is TOO!
Love,
Barbara and Imhotep

Jeannie, you were right; he waited to use the litter box until he was ready. Looks like everything is right on schedule. The sweater doesn’t seem to be a problem.

I don’t know how you handled all nine of these guys. When he’s not snuggling, he’s a crazy guy! He’s extended his comfort zone to include the whole house now. The stairs were a little imitating at first, but are no problem now.

We made the bed together today and had a great time! We are really enjoying him. He is the center of attention here and seems to love every minute of it. He loves to sit on Robert’s shoulder while he’s working at the computer or while he’s watching TV. He gives everyone lots of kisses and purrs non-stop.

Thanks again for the wonderful new addition to our family.

Tracy

Hi Jeannie, Well, Daisy and I spent our first night together. I woke up with her sleeping on top of my head. I reach up and felt that little fur thing. Like I was wearing a hat lying down. God, is she ever cute. Great personality. Purrs all the time. After she went potty last night when we got home, I gave her a half of a small can of Nutro max kitten canned food , the chicken and liver flavor. She started eating it right away and this morning it was all gone so I gave her more this morning. I'm so happy with her. Thank you so much. I was telling my husband this morning that the Robins have not come back yet so we have more cold weather coming. The Crocuses aren't out yet either. Come on Spring.
Love, Lil Herbstritt

It's been awhile since I've written and wanted to let you know how much I am
enjoying my kitten. Nico is growing like a weed! She and Uma are inseparable
and really seem to enjoy each other's company. I have a hard time explaining
the Devon Rex personality to people that have never been around one but it
is really something else! Nico reminds me of a dog in so many ways-she
fetches, when I'm not looking she'll eat ANYTHING from my plate (and I mean
ANYTHING from wasabi to refried beans to tomatoes), & she's very curious &
"in your face" while being respectful (if I'm eating she sits patiently
above me on the couch instead of begging-I really don't give her people food
intentionally). She is my loyal little alarm clock-cleaning my face and
sitting on my head until I get up to feed her M-F (for some reason she lets
me sleep just a bit longer on the weekends).

Best regards,
Allison Carr

Jeannie,
I just had to send you this picture. Harrison turned out to be a beautiful boy.
He is MY BABY !! He sleeps under the covers with me every night, he runs down the stairs and greets me at the door whenever I come home, and during the day while I'm working at my mothers shop, I need to stop what I'm doing just to go home and get my kitty kisses. Then half the time he ends up going back to the shop with me.
Love him, love him, love him, I just can't explain how much.
My husband knows that if it were between him or the cat,
that Harrison and I would be very happy.
Just keeping you posted,
Deb

Dear Jeannie:

Padme` is still sleeping with the girls. I haven't had a chance to see her really. She has been carted around like a queen. I don't think her feet have touched the ground but to potty and eat. :)
We love her to death already. It's like we knew her, and that she has been with us all this time.

Hi Jeannie,
Zissou is PERFECT!! He's just what I'd hoped he'd be. His ears are awesome and so's his head. But of course beyond all of that he's a dear little man. He slept with me under the covers last night. Such a warm sausage body... He's at home today snuggling with Mark. That helps too, that he makes points with the other "dominant" male in the house.
Thank you so much for him. He'll be treasured and pampered and shown and loved forever. I got his papers today in the mail from CFA too. We'll all set. You were great to work with. Thanks for being patient with me in the beginning when I was struggling to pick out the best boy for my program. GInger said to me yesterday "Well it looks like you won't have ear problems anymore." Yea!!
I'll send pics soon. He's in perfect health too. I would be happy to give you a good reference for any other breeder wanting to buy/work with you in the future. I'm a very satisfied customer.
Take care and have a great day!

Tracy

Hi Jeannie,
I can't believe we've only had Zissou now for 2 weeks. I can't imagine our home without him. He fits in so well. He thinks he's one of the kittens here but on steroids. He's bigger than they are, but loves playing with them. I have the best pic of him with a couple of them piled on top of him. It looks like he's saying "Oh for god's sake, I give up!" He's super sweet. When I look at him he starts purring. He's happy and enjoying the chaos of our household. My son loves him too. Z likes routine, as do all kids :) and likes coming into Aidan's bed at night to listen to Harry Potter. He's such a great cat Jeannie. Thanks so much for him.
Here are a couple of pics. It IS hard to get him to hold still, I see what you mean now. I'm so used to having my husband help me with pics, but he's on a boat working outside Kodiak. We'll take more when he gets back.
Best to you and Cindy!!

Tracy

I wanted to thank you again for driving from Centralia to drop Coco off. He was shy for a couple of hours. But after that, he made himself quite at home. He's quite taken with the feather toy I got him. And he's gotten aquatinted with his Cat tree. I've never had a kitten before. It's like he's on turbo speed. He makes Fred, my loveable old kitty that my ex-husband has seem like a turtle. But I still love that turtle dearly. I came home during my lunch break to check in with Coco and see how he's doing. And he was doing just fine. He's sitting on my lap right now as I type this, but that's only because I won't let him walk on my laptop keyboard.

Jeannie,

We’re having such fun with Charmagne. I could hardly bear to go to work this morning because she was responding to my voice and following me around, and by the time I got home my husband was totally in love with her. She is so gentle when she plays, and so very affectionate and much smarter I think than the average cat. She doesn’t want to be held, but she wants to be close to me. She tried to walk up my legs, but not like most kittens who would climb right up with their claws. She already knows to keep her claws in. I’m so in love with her warm little body and long tail, and her little squeak. It’s difficult to get anything else done.

As I write this, Charmagne and Ken are sleeping together. She was roaming around under the covers the last I knew, and he was tickled pink about that. I fell asleep in front of the computer and woke up to finish this. So off I go. . .

Love, Dianne

Our new kitten is an absolute love. We could not be happier. At first we were a bit worried because the poor little thing would not drink, eat or go to the bathroom for about 24 hours. She was truly missing her mom, her litter and you. That told us what wonderful care and love you had given her. Now our kitten has blossomed and she is extremely attached to my wife. She (the kitten) wants to be with her (my wife), on her, next to her etc. all the time and Judith is having the time of her life. All of a sudden being 50 didn’t matter so much anymore. That was the intent and it worked better that could be expected.

This e-mail is hard to write because “Gilda” (as in the late Gilda Radner of Saturday Night Live) keeps jumping up and landing on the keys. I guess she wants to say “Hello” in her own way too. I know she loves you because of the warm and affectionate way she is with all humans and you were the first teacher.

Our best to you,

Peter and Judith

I wanted to report to you that (and I really have to
get some kind of camera and take some pics of him)
Coco is a very healthy 6.5 pounds. His fur is now
rumply and wavy and so cute. He is very talkative but
pretends to be shy when meeting people he doesn't
know. Once he sees them a few times, he's his usual
loud & obnoxious self. (Sometimes it even sounds like
he's saying words such as Hello, Mamma, Mommy and Oh
no!) He still likes to sit w/me while I take a
shower (between the curtain and the liner). He paws
the liner while I bathe. And sometimes he even jumps
down into the tub (with the liner for protection).

I could tell that you love love love your kitties, and
from that I take it that you love animals.

Take care,
Caroline

We survived the first night with India! She was such a riot. She hardly slept all night because she was too busy playing, purring the whole while. Nothing stops her, she's such a live-wire.

I'd figured I'd have to feed her entirely separately from Charmagne so she'd get some, since Charmagne never lets anyone else eat when she's around. Not so! India pushed her little head right in there and pushed Charmagne out. They're true sisters. It was so funny to see those little black heads pushing each other out of the food bowl.

Charmagne is exhausted from staying up all night. I don't know when India will sleep. She hasn't been a bit shy here with anyone or anything, as Charmagne was at first. Perhaps she's just hyper getting used to all the new places to explore.

Hope everything went well for you and Imhotep and Isis, Barbara! Looking forward to those pictures! Jeannie, have a safe trip home.

Love to you!!
Dianne

Hi Jeannie,
Toby is almost 5 1/2 months and weighs around 5 lbs..He is lively and playful (sometimes with a devilish streak) but sweet and affectionate, too. He is so smart...knows his name, comes when I call him,and has learned to fetch. I've never had a cat that could do that ! His favorite toy is a small rubber ring about 1 1/2" in diameter. I throw it, it bounces around, he retrieves it and returns it to me.We can play this about 25 times before he tires of it.
He is such a joy and a wonderful companion.
Regards,

Ceil

We’re home safe. It was a long day for Sage but she was very brave. She slept on the airplane but complained whil2e in the cage7u8 waiting for the flight (as you can see she likes the computer keyboard).

She warmed up to us just a few minutes after we got in the carttttttttttttttttttttttttttttthhhhhheeeee33333333b and has been a love ever since. She’s pretty good at letting us know what she wants with her temper tantrums.

I was writing because I was worried about how much food to give her because she wasn’t really eating the Iams, but now that I’m writing you she’s munching away so I think we’ve got that down too.5555555555555553

‘’3ppppppppppp.

She actually insisted on sleeping with us last night which terrified me. We set her up between our two pillows so there was no chance of squishing her. She’s very diplomatic as she snuggled with me half the night and with my husband the rest of the night.

Please tell your sister that our last cat, Natalia, was with us for 19 years before she passed away in November. We’ll take great care of Sage, who right now is sleeping tucked into a makeshift pocket of my sweatshirt. She’s wearing her new pink sweater sock and is staying nice and warm.

Jeannie we thank you very much for Sage. She’s more wonderful that we could have imagined, and very very beautiful.

Fondly,
Sherry P (Allie C's mom)

Plus, a little more from Sherry (forwarded on to me from Allie) about how Elvis is doing:

I took him to the vet last weekend. I love Dr. Peters!
He's perfect. It's calving season and he's been very
busy and is ever on-call. He was dressed in his
coveralls, ready to head out on a moment's notice. .
yet was gentle and personable. I thought he was a
farmer in the waiting room until he said, "So this is
Elvis?" and then, "Do I call you Sharon or Sherry?"
Now that's a rare greeting for a country vet, I think.
He called his partner in to feel Elvis's coat and they
both agreed it was just as soft as the net site had
said it would be! Yep, their first Devon Rex experience.

He personally took the copies of medical info and the
picture I'd printed for his files to the receptionist
and wanted her to be sure to include the pic in the
new file on Elvis. He was appreciative of the medical
history and when done checking him over, said, "Shall
we put your sweater back on, big fella?" and gently
bundled him up and put him back in his carrier. Now, I
know that kind of attention isn't out of the ordinary
for you and your wonderful city small animal vets.
..but this guy's in the middle of no-nonsense rural
America . .where farming is big business and the
attention is mostly paid to livestock that goes to
market.. ....It was quite a revelation...the entire visit to Dr
Peters...and, Jeff, his partner is Dr. Mekus! I am
absolutely confident they will take great care of
Elvis. Doc Peters has already reminded me about the
shot(s) E. needs in May (was impressed w/ the
immunization form)...Oh! He cleaned E's ears...put in
some drops, gently massaged the ears from the outside
and then said, "stand back", where upon Elvis-powered
centrifugal force took care of the wax/etc. He took a
q-tip and carefully cleaned the rest.

Allie, I tried chasing around w/ Elvis as you did, and he just stared at me with an are-for-real? expression!
He has my entrance routine down pat. Through the
laundry room, into the kitchen to drop my stuff and
hang up my coat and into the bathroom, then back to
the kitchen. He actually led the way when I got home
Monday!..Oh, and he brought me his catnip mouse one
morning last week...jumped up on the bed and dropped
it a foot from my nose. Then started playing with
it...an alarm cat is this kitty. He sleeps, cuddled
next to me and watches movies with me.

Ok, over and out. xo
Mom

Jeannie,
Here are some pictures of Obi. She has become such a delight to me. Almost always makes me laugh. One of the pictures shows here playing with Grandma, who likes to come over at least a couple times a week and play. She also LOVES her tree. The pink play toy in the picture has already lost its battle and no longer hangs from the tree.
She also likes to play games with mom. Mom picks up all of the toys and then she proceeds to spread them all back out!! It is GREAT fun for her!! Not so much fun for mom. I had also put a bell on her collar, so that I would know where she was. But brilliant kitty that she is has figured out if she dips in her water bowl that it dampens the sound and then she can still sneak up on mom!! It is lots of fun, especially when mom is studying or taking a nap!!
I can't thank you enough for entrusting her into my care!! I really don't know what I would do without her. I can't wait until I also have Yoda to love and play with also!!
Thanks!
Sheri

Jeannie,

Pixie wasted no time in adapting to her surroundings and has managed to take over the house as well as our hearts. She’s got down the basics, her food dish and her litter box. Her character is quite charming, much like that of a dog. She loves attention and lets you know when she’s lonely. For the love she’s given already Its the best purchase I could have made.

Dave <<...>> <<...>>

Jeannie -

I am in LOVE with Sophie!!! First of all, she is adorable and second her personality is WONDERFUL! Here she is having traveled a very long way, in a big scary plane, new smells, big kitties hissing at her... but every time I touch her she begins to purr!!! She is wonderful! She is not bothered by my adult kitties hissing at her. I put down some Fancy Feast for her and Jayne and they scoffed it up in no time! :-) She is just GREAT! Thank you soooooo much!

Sophie really is a cutie. She LOVES my 4 year old son. Rubs all over him and PURRS!!!
As I am typing this she is sitting on my lap just purring away.
Ruth just left with Jayne. She loves her!
I just LOVE Sophie's personality. She is just GREAT!
Thanks so much!!!

Stephanie

Dear Jeannie,

What a long way for the little guys to travel., but I guess if there aren’t too many changes of planes it isn’t that bad. Thanks for sharing the other letters. That was fun.

Here are more photos from yesterday. Hope this isn’t more than you’re interested in, but I am excited and enjoy sharing that!!

We had a great night last night. Elvis slept right next to my chest all night as if he’d always belonged there. The girls slept next to my body as they always do, and were only put out in the morning when they usually join me under the covers for a bit before we get up. It was hissy time then. I could see a lot of green shining from their halos. Charmagne wasn’t too bad, but India was a real pill. She’s been the “baby” for a long time now.

But after we got up and Elvis started running back and forth over the floor, India was ready to play that game, so it’s going to work out eventually. Elvis plays for awhile until he remembers that he doesn’t know where I am, then starts meowing. When I talk to him he runs right to me, and purrs up a storm while we cuddle. He takes a short nap on my lap, and then runs and does the whole thing over again. What a doll!! He looks like a cross between a lab rat and a Chihuahua right now, and I love that look. I’ll bet he ends up with short hair with lots of curly ridges, and a lean, muscular body. Basically, a lot like Simba, only black. Simba is a beautiful animal. I got to see him last winter one time when I met Jessica. Who is Simba’s father, by the way? I never thought to ask.

And while I’m thinking of this, something to keep in mind for a long way down the road. I was wondering if you’d consider saving Barbara Leigh for me when she retires. By then, both my old girls will be gone for sure, and I do love the gray DR’s a lot and think she’s beautiful. We do want to get one more kitten, a whitish one with bluish eyes from Zsa Zsa and Robert Redford. With Barbara Leigh that would make a DR family of five, which is reasonable for our house size and the time we have to love them, I think. Any time we’re traveling we’ll have someone stay here to care for our pets, not board them somewhere.

Anyway, something to keep in mind for the future.

I hope your week is winding up well so that you can have a restful weekend.

Love, Dianne

Hi:
Just wanted to let you know I got Jayne papers today.
Thanks so much.
She is a wonderful kitten and has fell in love with my husband and me if I am not home she is in Tim's lap and when I am here she runs back and forth to each of us like she can't make up her mind as to whom she wants .I love her color so much . Thank you so much I just can't tell you how much it is hard to put in words but her and Wilson are the best.
Ruth

Hi Jeannie,
We received her papers (very interesting to see the lineage/family tree). Thanks.
Also wanted to let you know that we are So pleased with Sabriana. She has a fantastic, lovable personality & is so good with our daughter & her friends (& us). Her purr is 5x larger than her size, she's very playful & cuddly, and is adapting very well to her new home. She is using her box & has a very healthy appetite. We absolutely lover her! Thanks again.
Chris

Hi Jeannie,

I thought you might like to see a few pics of Julia...she is such a pretty girl and so full of fun, we just love her to death!The first three show her steeling treats!! We kept her treats on the shelf over the pc and it didn't take her long to find them. My niece and sisters were visiting and when we came home from dinner one night she came dragging her treats to me from behind the couch...she'd gotten them down while we were gone. I gave her a treat and put them back on the shelf...A little later that night she came dragging them to me into the dining room where we were! She certainly knows how to ask for a treat!The next one didn't turn out as good as I'd have liked, but she's watching herself on the computer... then (next 2) she's 'looking at' another of your cats (I really enjoyed looking at your web site by the way!)The 7th is Julia and I after we'd been playing with her balls, her paper sack (which she loves!) and a cardboard 'house'. I'd curled up with a book and she curled up with her blanket on my lap...the last one I got a kick out of her sleeping on that quilt...she was so unlady-like I just had to take a picture. One of these days I'll get a really good one for you!

Wanda

Jeannie,
When Allie first saw her kitten, she decided to name her "Pippi Longstocking" for her two front long white socks. Pippi is a joy and already flies around the house like she owns the place. She showed Max, our golden retriever, how things were going to work and after a few scratches on his nose, he gets the picture. Her curls are coming in and she is growing up already. The sunny, warm window sills and Allie's bed are her favorite hideouts.
Thanks again,
Geri

I don't always get to my email right away so just now saw your note but Barbara forwarded your site with the pictures the other day. You have a great site and it was fun to see the party for the new arrivals - can hardly believe it was nearly a year ago! How exciting for Simba to be a cover boy - can't wait to see the new 2007 calendar. Simba is just wonderful - he sends his love. He is a playboy - he loves to play and is a good cuddler. I love him so much! He is very devoted to me, friendly to friends, and he gets along beautifully with Tallulah, my 8 year old calico, and Buddha, my 13 year old Himalayan. It was a perfect fit. I'll have to send you some new pictures.So sorry to hear you have had such a tough time. I hope you are feeling well now and that life is on the upswing.

All the best, Jessica St John

Jeannie,

We're just passed our 2 year anniversary with Bongo and I wanted to tell you
how much joy he has brought to our lives. He is the most lovable little
guy! Well, not so little. He still loves to eat and has quite a tummy on
him. I don't think he knows he's a cat. He really thinks he's one of us.

He likes to be in the middle of everything. This is his typical day
according to Bongo:

When mom comes home, I help her work in the office. I like to sit in front
of her computer screen just to remind her that I'm her top priority. I also
like to roll the pens and pencils off her desk. All this work makes me
sleepy, so I like to crawl up on my mom so she'll hold me. Sometimes she's
really busy and she puts me down, but I don't give up easily. If I continue
to climb up, she usually gives up before me.

Sometimes I get to go with Mom to pick up my sister after school. I like to
ride in the car. I stand in the front seat with my back paws on the seat
and my front paws on the dashboard. I see a lot of people giving me a
double take. What...they've never seen a cat in a car before???

It's cold now so we light a fire in the evenings. Oh...I really love that.
I lay on my back in front of it and spread my legs out so I can bask in the
heat. This is even better than wrapping up in my favorite blanket.

I'm the prince in this house. I don't know what they would do without me!!
Best Regards,
Bongo

Hi Jeannie,

I saw that you are posting “before and after” shots of your kittens. I must add a few for Chloe. She is a furry doll. One of the pictures really shows off her fabulous fur.

Shelley W.

Hi there,

I was going thru Violet's file to see when she needed her shots and I
found the contract I was supposed to sign and mail back to you. I
can't believe I forgot! Anyway, I've mailed it just so you can have
it for your records. As you can see, Violet is still VERY sweet and
we love her.

Toni

This is Brian Wallace. I'm the guy who bought a little black and white from
you a couple of months ago. His name is Murray, and here's a photo or two
of him and his reluctant girlfriend, Phyllis. They're starting to get along
a little better, but I have enlisted the help of some specialists to ease
the process. They've accurately assessed Murray as the perfect kitten for
Phyllis; he's unusually mellow and sweet. Which brings me to the purpose of
my note (aside from giving you a bit of an update): I have a friend who is
extremely interested in getting a kitten or two from you some time in the
near future. Her name is Karen and I can recommend her without
reservation as someone who'd provide a very comfortable and loving home for
your kittens. She's actually kept Murray for me on a couple of occasions
(to give Phyllis a break) and has just generally been an enormous help in
assisting with this whole situation. In any case, I'm passing your email
address along to her so you two can be in contact; I'm sure you'll have a
bunch of questions for each other.
Hope all's well with you guys.
Thanks again for Murray. He's the best.
Brian

Zsa Zsa is doing fine. She is getting used to her new
digs and people at her own regal pace. Some days she
can't get enough of us and some days she just "Vants
to be alone". This morning she was the most animated
I have ever seen. Her special place during the day is
on a Sesame Street sleeping bag in the laundry room.
We still keep her in one bedroom at night with
food,water and litter. One of her favorite haunts is
on the stairs.

Snowfire arrived on time and we got him 15 min after
the plane landed. Meeting his mom again has been
interesting. He bounded up to her, invaded her space
and got hissed at for his trouble. He is all over the
house and has even jumped onto the bird's cage
(something Zsa Zsa has not attempted) Needless to say
we have moved the bird. I see a period of adjustment
and amusement for our new family members. Let me
assure you that they are already greatly loved.
Thank you for your treasures.

Helen

Hi!
Thought you might enjoy seeing a recent photo of my two Movieland kitties. I got Fred (Fettucine Alfredo) and Val (Violetta Valery) in January 2002 (they were born Oct 3 & 4, 2001). I'm also including photos of them as kittens (the day I brought them home), and also at age 6 months.
Photo details:
1. Fred and Val 12-29-051: This was taken 12-29-05 (just after Christmas a couple of months ago) -- as you can see, they're gorgeous kitties. Valery seems to be a sable smoke (as best as we can tell -- could be a chocolate smoke), and Fred is a cream point. He's still not the brightest bulb in the markee, but he's extremely affectionate, loves to play "fetch," and he's VERY vocal! Valery is still a bit stand-offish (although she loves to sit next to me when I'm on the computer), rather "prissy" and "above it all," with no patience for Fred's hyperactivity. She's hysterically funny, because you can just see her gradually getting fed up and then BAM! she lets him have it. They play well together (still!), and usually sleep with me (sometimes under the covers).
2. Two new kitties 01-01-02: this was taken the day I brought them home -- two little cuties!
3. Fred-and-val and Fred-big: these were taken when they were 6 months old, in April 2002. Fred's eyes are *still* that blue!
Anyway, I couldn't imagine life without these two.

Kenmore, WA

Hi, Jeannie!

I'll be able to send the photos again (plus a couple of new ones) -- I'm in the middle of moving from my old laptop to a new Macbook, and it'll take me a few more days to get everything transferred over. I'll try to get you the pics sometime next week.

The kitties and I have just moved to Bellingham -- I'm starting graduate school this month, and we'll be up here a couple of years. I'm keeping my house in Kenmore, visiting on weekends (I have rehearsals and performances in Seattle on Saturdays). The kitties took the move like little troopers (although the drive up here from Kenmore last week was a little ... noisy), and we're all settling into our new "home away from home" just fine.

Will get you the photos early next week ...

Lana

I have Shirley Temple's girl from last year. Zamboni just turned 1 year
old, she's very healthy and happy. I am thinking about getting
another kitten to keep her company. I noticed that JLo recently had
a litter. Can you tell me about them?

Thanks,
Robin

Jeannie,
Just a few pics of Hank! He has been such a great addition to the
house. He has settled in very nicely. His favorite place is either on
my lap, under the covers at bedtime or next to the fire.
Have a Merry Christmas. Bridget

Here I am! The Prince of the Moren household now for two years! I love it
here as you will see in my pictures. My King, Charles, is a fine man and
watches over me daily to play, cuddle, sit with me, and divert my attentions
to only constructive activity. The Queen, Donna, is usually busy about the
place, but when she sits down---BAM! I am in her lap or on her neck and
quick!! Just to get her love! She is my favorite one. When guests come, I
prefer to be under the bed, but when I come out I am the center of
attention, of course.

The Queen said that I may want to have a friend here. Do you think that a
good idea at my age? Do you think a female would be best, and perhaps
white in color? She tells me she is looking now.

Of course I am indoors but what a place to live! I have lots of toys,
several blankets, and any place to perch or sit or climb is allowed. My
claws are kept short, my food clean and bowl full, and lots of fresh water.
I have had absolutely perfect health (except once I ate too much Fancy Feast
and the vet took me off it-I am fine now and have no problems. The Queen
found a vet who came to the house for me. She said she would not traumatize
me by caging me and hauling me out in the car! Wheew! I am thankful for
that!)

I await your response, Jeannie. I miss you and my friends there where I
grew up my first life months. I wonder how everyone is doing, where my
brothers and sisters are, and if I will have a new friend or not. If not, I
will be content and remain happy! Bye bye.

Prince Moren

Hi Jeannie,
Just to let you know that Shirley is doing very well. She and I seemed to bond very easily and spent lots of time together. She's getting to know my husband a little more cautiously but seems to like him and did sleep on our bed for awhile last night, mostly though in a bed next to ours. She's understandably a little bit shy and perhaps a little bit lonely as she did go from room to room a lot yesterday, checking things out but maybe also wondering where the others are. Overall, though, she's very curious and cuddly and we love her. We're giving her plenty of quiet time (no visitors for awhile) to get used to her new surroundings and get to know us.
Karen

Hi,
What a difference a day makes! Shirley's becoming a real clown, very playful, full of energy, and eating well. So far, not a hint of allergy, so that's wonderful. My husband took to her immediately, and she to him.. We're gonna have a great time together.
Happy day, and it's back to work for me.
Karen

Hello Jeannie,

I adopted the most beautiful kitten from a litter in 2000, his name is Hershey. His is the best cat anyone could have asked for. He is extreme loving and has never ever been mean to anyone no matter what they do. (some kids can be a little rough). The only one he may cry at is Remy our Husky because sometimes he will lick Hershey till he is wet...LOL Other than that he and our Maltese, Brandy, are best friends.
Thank you for all your help and again thank you for the best cat anyone could ask for. I have recently been placed on SS disability and he is a great companion. He always stays be my side and lays with me. When I am in my worst pain and crying he always runs over, lays on my lap, gives a few licks to my hand and purrs. I have attached a few pictures.
Thanks for the best gift in the world,
Christine
