Doctor day!! The only two remaining homeless boys - Eldritch and Wizard were heaviest and lightest respectively. Eldritch weighs in at a nice 1.2 kilos at 8 weeks old. Pretty sure he’s going to take after dad! Wizard is just under the kilo at 9.6. So different and yet both so cute!!

As sad as it is for us- there are times when we need to rehome some of our breeders. It's not because they've outlived their usefulness or whatever other negative thought people might have - it's because we don't want to overbreed our queens, because once a female is desexed, they often are harassed by the other queens, because cost wise, it's simply not possible.
These girls have given their all and have produced some of the most wonderful pets for tons of people. Now they want their retirement to be in a place where they will be loved and spoilt for the rest of their lives.

Retired queens aren't old - some are as young as 2! And whilst they do come with a cost, it is far less than that of a kitten. If you like the look of these ladies, please contact Heavensgate Maine C**n & British & Scottish and have a chat to Kim about her. I think you will be surprised and inevitably very happy with your decision.

A conversation about HCM in cats.

Recently, I was advised that a kitten I had sold a year ago was diagnosed with HCM. You can imagine both my fear and my surprise, given that my breeders have always tested clear.

Here's the surprise (for me at least). In the cardiology report, it stated that this was not an inherited form of the disease but a 'spontaneous mutation'. Unaware of this previously, I both did my research and spoke with both two leading Australian Cat Cardiologists.

The information I was provided is that there are hundreds, if not thousands of form of HCM (both in cats and in humans) and that they have not identified more than a few. The leading cardiologist made the statement that he had 'seen this more times than he can remember', relating to spontaneous HCM mutation.

A very good analogy I was given (thanks Tash) was that it is like the breast cancer gene, in that if you don't have it, you might still get breast cancer but if your parents do have the gene, you will definitely get it.

The bottom line is this - every single time you take your cat to the vet, please ensure that they CHECK THE HEART SOUNDS. The advice I was given is to just continue to ensure my cats are healthy and to always remember that Maine C***s can be predisposed to this disease, so to do all in my power to ensure healthy breeding lines. This will not and can not guarantee that your cat won't get HCM but it will significantly reduce the risk.

For those of you wondering - I have asked for the cat back and will arrange for a financial recompense, despite this not being an inherited condition. I do this out of good will and for the welfare of the cat. She will return to me and be provided the appropriate medication for as long as she lives.

So I hear my brother beat me to the punchline? That’s ok- because I’m sure we will appeal to different folk!

My human thinks may my last photos didn’t do me justice but these don’t either really. I’m just that cute! I’m outgoing and fun but can also be a bit of a sooky la la. Very different from Wizard but we are both adorable!

Oh…and I’ve had a bit of a name change because plain old ‘Smokey’ wasn’t cutting it (what WAS she thinking?). You may now address me as Eldritch Smoke!

12/03/2025

Pssst. Yeah. You. I’m being quiet so I can get in first before my brother!

I’m the Wizard! I’m funny and cute and affectionate but so far…no one has offered me a forever home! The human says someone will look into my cheeky eyes and just ‘know’ I’m the one for them. Is that you? If it is, contact the human 🥰

Bachelor No. 3 Wizard
The human says I can be a bit cheeky- but look at this face! How could she say such horrible things about me! I’m petty sure I’m a silver black tabby but whatever I am, I am so damn cute! Looking for someone to love me and spoil me and play with me and feed me and zzzzzzz (shhhh, sleeping now)

Ghost wiff da most!
I snuck in also because although I’m already spoken for- I’m adorable!
