I can't find any breeders close by for hypoallergenic cat breeds... I don't know what to do because a cat is something I really want...

Im so sorry. You will have to consider that you cannot get a cat at all, and will have to fill that space with something else in your life :)

How many days off should I take from work to spend with the kitten to familiarise it with my bedroom (the place I will confine it to while I am at work)? I am afraid if I spend too many days with the kitten, on the first day I return to work the kitten will feel lost/bored.

It is enough to just take the weekend to spend some extra time with the kitten, and as you go to work on Monday she will get to know your schedule. Just remember to get her toys and places to sleep and scratch, and she will be fine on her own while you are at work

At what age do male kittens start to outgrow female kittens? My male kitten is younger than my female but he seems to be growing really fast even though he and the female eat the exact same foods in the same portions! It's very interesting to witness.

This is individual and has a lot to do with genes. Generally females are smaller than males, but if the male has small parents and the female have very big parents, there might be the other way around :)

I'll be moving overseas and cats need to go through quarantine period will a 1 yr old cope well with this? Or will it be too stressful

It is hard to say since I don't know your cat. If your cat isn't too shy and stressed at home, I think it will be alright. Otherwise it can be a bit stressful and you might consider to help as best as you can by getting Feliway spray, and blankets from home where the smell of security is still present :)

Are muffins ears rounder than zinnas and Berry's ears?

I thing Muffin and Berry's ears are about the same, Zinna's ears looks very pointy on most photos, but they actually aren't :) She is just a real ear wiggler so they are pointed a bit to the sides at all times

When you bring your cats outside, you allow them to walk freely on their own? Wouldn't they run away and get lost? How do you train them not to run away and roam outside freely without leash?

My cats are trained to stay with me, that's why I can take them outside without a harness.
The cat need to have 100% respect for you as the leader, and I work a lot with my cats from the day I get them to be very clear that I'm the boss and will always be. That is why they can be so cuddly with me and also stay with me outside, because I represent security and safety while they are outside :)
It takes time to do this, but it is so worth it <3

How the markings turn out so she can keep them to enter shows,she showed us her 3 breeding girls rosettes from the last YEAR,they have lots.Is it common for breeders to enter their kitties into shows,n sometimes keep kittens longer to enter them to?i think if she enters them she sells them2 breeders

Did you get a good wibe from the breeder? Could she tell you all of the kitten's personalities? I prefer not to buy from a breeder that is too in to shows, and that doesn't have many litters at the same time, that means that she will have to divide her time spending with them, instead of giving each kitten in only one litter a lot of time. It is important that the breeder is socializing the kittens and making them blossom, as much if not more, than prepping them for shows.
It is common to take kittens to shows, and every breeder will have her way of doing that.
Visit some more breeders so you will have something to compare with, if you are not interested in taking your cat to shows, you might be happy that you went to another breeder and found one that only care for the kittens health and inside more than the outside :)

Hi! Today I went to visit the breeder I told you about, the one who tests for HCM etc… the lady currently has 3 litters, with only 3 weeks of age difference between youngest n oldest,2 oldest litters have already been reserved&only the 4 young1s r left, but breeder says she needs to wait to see

I will answer on the last message -->

Did you know hoe muffin would look like now? When you bought him? And what wa happend with muffin that you need the donation?:(

Yes I knew kinda hiw he would grow up to look like, all but the individual stuff that is always a surprice :)
Muffin got pneumonia and a bad one :/ It was at a bad timing in my life and I thank all of our fans for every penny that was donated that actually was crucial for me to be able to take him home that day <3

We currently have two pedigree cats who are brothers and who are very happy together. I would love to get one more but don't want to upset them. Is 3 a bad number to have? I wouldn't want one to be left out...

I think you are doing the right thing to really think about this, one more cat could split them up to be 3 cats living together only tolerating eachother but not more. If you should get one, only you can answer. But if you do, then do the introduction very gradually, and there are higher chance of success :)
Good luck <3

Can you post more model cat Photoshop like you last picture from zinnaaaaaa

Im not sure which photo you mean :)

How do you keep your cats' noses and eyes clean?

I don't do anything :) They do it themselves. If your cat has runny nose or eyes there might be a health issue and it is best to get it checked out. Eye problems are very serious with cats

Vart säljer du kattungarna du föder upp?

Till väl utvalda hem där jag kan vara säker på att de har det bästa hemmet de kan få och att personligheten stämmer in på vad familjen vill ha :)

Does muffin have ronder wars than zinna and berry? It looks like thattttt! We get a similar eared cat:)

Im sorry, I don't understand the question?

Why doen't cats laugh? With sounds like. Hahaha

If you mean like when they see a bird outside, they do that because they get excited :)

How can i prevent my cat from getting fleas and stuff ?? What can i do to make my cat fur look shiny and healthy ??

There are lots of products on the market for fleast and tics, we are not really affected by fleas in Sweden so we don't have too many products here. But a call to your vet might help you :)
To keep a shiny coat on your cat, you should give a good quality food, so regular check ups (help check the skin, parasites etc) and you could also give a fish oil and raw egg yoke a few times a week

what kind of breed would be suitable for asthmatic people?

You would actually need to try it out by visiting breeders of different pedigree breeds to see how you will react. We are all individuals and it might be a bad idea to get a cat from only reading about them, if you are asthmatic.
But I do hope you will find one <3

I am getting a kitten soon. I leave home for work Mon-Fri at about 6.45am and returns home at about 6.45-7pm. Can you advice the feeding schedule for the kitten? Should I maintain the same on weekends too?

You could just give breakfast before you leave for work, and dinner right before you eat or as you come home. Together with your cat you will actually find a way to make it work for both of you :) On weekends you could give breakfast as you get up from bed and dinner at the same time as other days

I would like to confine my future kitten in my bedroom while I am away at work. how do I discourage it from biting wires that I am unable to conceal?

Is it necessary to do this? It could make the cat a bit unhappy and start to misbehave. It could go perfectly fine too of course, but just so you know why it might start to pee in your bed :) (most common first sign of unhappiness) If the only problem is wires, and you get a wire biting cat, then you need to find a way to hide them. There are really smart and easy ways to do that if you be a little inventive and use google :)
Good luck with your future kitty <3

Why did you give away Lucifer and get Muffin, Berrry, and Zinna? They are great cats but that doesn't seem fair to Lucifer.

Lucifer and me moved to stockholm together 2008 and when me and my ex split up 2013 and I moved, Lucifer stayed with my ex because he was so happy living there and had the possibility to go outside. I have tried to have him over but I see that he doesn't like it to be here. As I love cats and need them around me, I got the others one by one and I have always kept in mind that I need to do something about Lucifer, but didn't know I would one day just get an ultimatum to change this asap. So there we are now.

Willing to send lucifer overseas? If I update you with photos?

Im sorry, I don't think I would like for him to travel so far :/ That is very kind of you to offer though, I really appreciate that <3 Maybe if he was younger :)

Was Lucifer your first cat? And I'm not trying to be mean or rude, what do you mean by "when he leaves the earth?" I don't intend this question to be rude, if it sounds like it, I'm sorry... You are awesome and I hope Lucifer and you will be forever happy!!!!

Lucifer is not my first cat, but the first one that I have bonded with at this magical level <3 When Lucifer's time comes and he will be an angel, that is when I will permanently make him a part of me somewhere on my body. But I hope it will not happen for at least 10 more years :)

Where is Luficer moving to? If you can ship him to Singapore I would love to keep him :( it's so sad that Muffin and Lucifer couldn't get along.

He will be moving about 1,5 hour away from me, with my ex. And as soon as I find him a forever home he will go there to live the rest of his long life :)
