“As my cat would say, all hours are good for sleeping.”
José Saramago, Seeing

                   We have six queens in the castle, and they have negotiated an alliance.

Our queen is named Lada, an old Slavic name meaning beloved or dear. She is the daughter of Amber, our Zen practicing matriarch. Lada has torte markings on her ears, and her unusual genes, when paired with our blue tabby male can produce a wide range of markings on her offspring. She has a unique habit of sucking on one of our fleece pillows which we attribute to nostalgia for mother's milk. She is quite the lap cat, and when I need her to move, I simply put her near her favorite pillow. She loves her time out of doors and lives well with her fellow felines, often taking turns with a younger female to lick each other clean.

Ophelia is a luxurious, beautiful and friendly cat. She is a true blue tabby with a thick and velvety coat. Ophelia is social, intelligent and curious. She has had two litters so far and her pregnancy was easy and her birthing was quick and successful, she produced 7 gorgeous male kittens who have made their new owners very happy.

Amrita was born in our cattery. A seal point with a pleasing disposition, she socializes  easily with other cats. She is quick to make human friends as well. Her first experience as a mom went very well due to her strong nurturing instincts. Her kittens were strong and beautiful.

Camila is independent and self assured. She spends hours watching birds through the window, and when given time out of doors she darts around the yard and bounds up tree trunks. She will be ready to have her first litter in the Fall of 2024 and should produce a variety of color markings in her kittens due to combining Siberian Forest and Neva Masquerade genes.


Pepper was born right here from Amber, the epitome of cat motherhood. We have retained her and her sister Gracie, anticipating that they will have something of their mom's great disposition. Pepper is turning into the pride's best hunter. She will spend hours stalking grasshoppers and lizards in the fenced yard, and will sometimes lunge at a curious deer. Once inside, she will quickly find her way up on the recliner to ask for attention, often disregarding the computer or dinner plate that might be in our laps. She carries the deep soulful presence of her mother, and will look deeply into my eyes.

Gracie is the quiet, elegant sister to Pepper. Still an adolescent, she will defer to the other cats craving attention, and then make her way into arms reach to receive pets and massage after patiently waiting her turn. She is a very low maintenance cat. She is not antisocial, but will be very content to sleep in a remote bedroom away from noise and activity. Her markings are symmetrical like a classic seal tabby, resembling her father, Phoenix. She is regal and self confident, much like her mom, Amber.
