| O.K., I'll ask.....What's a "Drawf" cat?
L-
|
| 3449.2 | is this like the `cabot' I heard about??? ;^P | FRAGLE::PELUSO | PAINTS; color your corral | Thu Mar 22 1990 15:02 | 2 |

| 3449.3 | HERE'S THE CATCH! | CASPRO::BRUYERE | | Thu Mar 22 1990 17:36 | 27 |
| A "drawf" cat is one that does not really ever get much bigger than
a 6mos. old kitten. They stay roughly between 2-5 lbs. for the rest
of their lives.
Guys, this is for real. I know a few people that have had them. They
cost about $100 or more dollars from a breeder. Guys....I'm not
pulling your leg....it's for real! I've seen them!
Any suggestions?
I currently have a 8 mos. old tuxedo cat. I am planning on going to
the cat show in Hudson NH this weekend. I'm sure that will be an
experience. They are going to have kittens for sale (all breeds I
guess), but the lady told me no drawfs!
Missy, my current daughter, and I mean that in the real sense cause she
believes I am truly her biological mother, needs a sister. I work a
lot of hours and she gets rather lonely. She is an indoor declawed
kitten. I just love her to death. She is a crier though. I have
bought her more toys than a real baby. I just haven't gotten around to
dressing her up yet! I hope she doesn't cry all day when I'm not
there. She does cry whenever she hears the external door of the
building open. She thinks its me (I know I've had people verify this).
I have spoiled this kitten and now she is out of control. She races
behind me when I head for the door in the morning and starts crying. I
let her sleep right next to me on a pillow all night long. Have I made
the bed I have to lie in know? help

| I think getting Missy some company is the purrfect solution.

| 3449.5 | | WR2FOR::CORDESBRO_JO | set home/cat_max=infinity | Thu Mar 22 1990 18:10 | 4 |
| So, do you really mean "dwarf" and not "drawf"? Or is that the
new name of miniature cats?

| 3449.6 | Lonely....she needs company | BOOVX1::MANDILE | | Thu Mar 22 1990 19:28 | 6 |
| Sounds like Missy needs company. I have always had at least two
just for that reason. Being alone all day is not good for anything
or anyone!

| Cin,
Will you be showing in Hudson this weekend?. I would really enjoy
meeting you and some of your gang. My moms looking for a seal point female
Himmy Kitten at the show adn I'm just looking, know of anything out there?
This will be my first cat show I've ever been to. I'll be real easy to
recognize. Just look for a woman heavily medicated with allerest and
wearing a surgical mask over her face....
Although I'm not allergic to the Persians or Himmys Almost all others
do me in.
Hope to meet many of you fellow noters there.

my Lil ! Of course, Lil is no giant, but at 6.5 lbs, she is
getting there!

| SIX Litters! Boy, what that's gonna do to your cat count.
I think another visit to Fitchburg is in order.

| 3449.16 | How to keep the cat count low! | IAMOK::GERRY | Home is where the Cat is | Tue Mar 27 1990 12:51 | 3 |
| Kittens don't count, remember!!!!! ;-)
|
| 3449.17 | let's get back on track... | CSSE::LEVIN | | Tue Mar 27 1990 14:32 | 9 |
| One of the litters will be at my house....Candy Cane is due on Sunday,
April 1....we're now in the home stretch!
But this is all really off the topic of the main note...."dwarf" or is it
really "drawf" cats? Are they a special breed or just called that
because they are smaller....so that any small cat would qualify?
Diane
|
| 3449.18 | I guess I'll have kittens for sale! | IAMOK::GERRY | Home is where the Cat is | Tue Mar 27 1990 15:03 | 11 |
| Diane,
I wasn't counting Candy's litter!!! That really does make 7 litters,
doesn't it!!!!!
She's due this weekend!
cin...who's going to have kittens climbing the walls!
BTW, anyone interested in exotic or persian kittens, let me know!
|
| 3449.19 | I'll be Dave says that kittens DO count, huh Cin?? | TOPDOC::TRACHMAN | Exotics are Shorthaired Persians | Tue Mar 27 1990 17:03 | 9 |
| Gee Cin, then I guess I don't have 23 - I still only have 18 !!!
That is if kittens don't count! Hey breeders, have any of you had
the sex of a kitten change like magic overnight, like go from a
boy to a girl? I now think that I have 3 girls and 2 boys instead
of 3 boys and 2 girls !! Boy, what magic - maybe the other 2 boys
will change also !

| 3449.20 | Enquiring minds want to know! | CSSE::SHEARMAN | | Tue Mar 27 1990 17:43 | 3 |
| This is all very nice but I'm STILL curious about what a "dwarf" or is
it "drawf" cat is - a special breed or just smaller cat? Does anyone
know??
|
| 3449.21 | | WR2FOR::CORDESBRO_JO | set home/cat_max=infinity | Tue Mar 27 1990 17:44 | 5 |
| To be honest, I have never heard of either a 'dwarf' or a 'drawf'
cat. Don't know that one exists as a separate breed. None of the
associations that I am familiar with recognize any such breed.

| 3449.23 | Love that baby magic! | TOPDOC::TRACHMAN | Exotics are Shorthaired Persians | Tue Mar 27 1990 20:01 | 6 |
| okay.
Oh Pennie, did you have sex magic at your house also?
Did Coo do baby kitty magic and go from a girl to a boy?
E.
|
| 3449.24 | So, I can't keep a secret! | IAMOK::GERRY | Home is where the Cat is | Wed Mar 28 1990 12:39 | 5 |
| Nope, Coo went from boy to girl! Ooops, maybe I shouldn't be telling
this story!

| My vet sexed my first two litters (kits were at vet because Momcats
had troubles), and there were 7 boys. And "all" I had wanted was
the "best female." Ha! Well, a few weeks later, when they were
all in for their 6 weeks shots, turned out there were 6 boys and
a girl!!! Hence the name Secret Princess. She is the Matriarch
of one side of the Meowsky line (HopeyCat's Mom, for example!).
And now Moxie (Meowsky's Make Mine Moxie) is my latest star (to
make his debut this weekend in Montvale)...he was one of 4 girls,
until a friend noticed that the 4 girls weren't 4 girls...3 girls
and a boy! But Secret Prince just didn't work this time...

| ah, ha! Well, I'm still hoping that I was more right the 2nd time,
and that there are 3 girls and 2 boys!! As long as they are
healthy (and shorthair ha ha) whatever is fine. Of course,
I did put my order in for 5 shorthair baby girls, oh well.
Exotics will be Exotics and give us what they will !!
