Happy Retirement Euna 💛🤎🖤

Thank you for gifting us 6 beautiful kittens last year and being such a wonderful mummy whilst allowing us the pleasure of being your first family 🥰 Irelys would be so proud of you!

Now its your turn to be with a family all of your own. We hope you and your new furrever family are very happy together ❤️

We love getting updates from Ares' new family, of him settling into his new home. He's now known as Aslan and is enjoying all the cuddles he can get. We couldn't be happier for him 🥰😻

Be happy brave Aslan, you are truly loved by all who meet you ❤️

Luxio Lady Eunalesca (Euna) is now ready to retire 🩷

She has been a wonderful addition to our breeding programme and was a fabulous mummy, but now deserves to find her own forever family 🏡

Message us to discuss further 🤎

Coincidentally, both photos taken at exactly 16 weeks of age but 5 years apart!

Irelys on the left 🤍 in 2017
Coco on the right 🤍 in 2022

Coco's markings are lighter than her mums, but the similarities in their faces are just crazy! I don't know what I would have done without Coco over the last year or so.

---------------------------------------------------
15 months without Irelys and photos of her still make me well up 😿 Also stumbled across her Pedigree paperwork yesterday and had a little cry about that too 😭 does losing a companion ever get any easier?!

24/07/2023

TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ this post contains information about death and the distressing discovery of finding a beloved pet who had died very unexpectedly ⚠️

-----------------------------------------------------------

I should have posted this on Saturday, but I couldn't. I chose the pictures to post weeks ago but when it came to the day I just couldn't do it. I still struggle to accept that Irelys is gone.

Saturday marked one year since my world fell apart.

I never expected that taking Irelys to be neutered would result in her death. She died less than 12 hours after coming home from a local vet practice, and I found her dead in the kitchen early the next morning. My heart broke in that moment and will never be the same. My best friend and closest companion was gone. It didn't feel real. I collapsed in a heap on the floor after screaming, and Martin somehow appeared to catch me.

I can still see her lifeless body lying there, on the floor. My best friend, my soul cat. I torture myself thinking about the pain you must have been in and the fear you felt in your final moments. Especially after my own major haemorrhage, I know how quickly the body becomes disoriented during massive blood loss, and I still cry at how you were alone in those final moments. I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you, I'm sorry for taking you to that vets and for making the decision, out of fear of you developing pyo again. I thought I was making the right decision for you. But I made such a terrible mistake and it cost you your life. I will always hold myself responsible for this, as your caregiver.

But I also believe that you kept Raya and I safe and alive during our difficult birth. You adored your family and would have protected us at all costs. Somehow, I think you knew we would need you to guard us from the other side, so we had to lose you. Raya will always know she has a guardian angel 😇 🤍

Having Raya has given me so much happiness, but the pain never goes away. It never heals, life just becomes different, and we somehow learn to be without the ones we've lost.

Irelys, you were, and still are my best friend 💔 until we meet again my darling 🤍 rest in peace.

Cuddles with Euna 🤎

I just love it when they come for cuddles with the baby, it's totally their choice and Euna clearly couldn't get close enough to her 🥰🩷

13/07/2023

Swipe ------------------------------------> to see the look of absolute disgust that Euna gave me for disturbing their nap with my ridiculous photo taking 🤣🤎🤍 how dare I 😅

I love that these sisters are the best of friends despite such different personalities, and they have been inseparable since we lost their mummy last July. Euna looks more like her daddy, aptly named Obsidian and Coco, like her mum, is a silver snow lynx, her dad (Jon Snow) a snow lynx.

Euna is more reserved, observant, and loves attention, whereas Coco is absolutely crackers. She is pretty much the definition of "bombproof" in a bengal, but both girls are extremely gentle and loving. This week alone, Euna has had her fur grabbed around her face, and Coco's tail was clung on to for dear life by the baby! Totally supervised, and I stepped in immediately, of course, to release the baby's iron grasp, but neither girl even batted an eyelid and happily let the baby explore them. They have both inherited their mother's love of all babies, regardless of species!

As the first anniversary of Irelys' death approaches, I feel my heart aching more and more with each day that passes 💔 we've been feeling the occasional invisible brush of fur against our legs or arms recently and I do wonder if shes around us. I know Irelys would be proud of all her babies and love that they take care of one another 💗

27/06/2023

Wishing all of Euna's first litter a very happy belated first birthday 🥳🎉🎈🎁🎊🎂😻 How are you guys one already?!

How on earth did their birthday pass me by... baby brain that's how 🤣 👶

We hope (left to right) Willow, Pepper (now Cleo), Ralfi, Peanut (now Iommi) Aura and Bear (now Ari) had a great day!

All of our love to these little cuties 🤎🤎🤎🤍🤍🖤

Coco Bean just loves the baby! This makes my heart so happy 😃 🥰😻

My only wish since Raya was born is that they become the best of friends, just like I was with Bean's mummy 💔

Raya rocking the of course! 🩷🐆

Naturally, I couldn't let today pass without paying tribute to my wonderful best friend who left us far too early last July, she was only 5 years old.

A year ago today, Irelys was sleeping in our spare bedroom, heavily pregnant. She woke us at 4am meowing for our support, as she always did when she went into labour. We joined her in the bedroom and sat down with a coffee eagerly awaiting the new arrivals. Irelys adored praise and affection, which is why our presence was so important to her during all her labours. She was such a wonderful mummy, a total natural and took labour completely in her stride, but she would not deliver those kittens without us by her side as we had learnt the previous year when I tried to pop downstairs to get myself a snack mid labour, as she hastily followed me whilst meowing loudly until I followed her back up to the birthing box where she then happily lay down and began to deliver her kittens 🥰

All three babies were safely delivered by 8am and as the photo shows, Irelys couldn't have been any happier. She lived for her babies, she loved her family (humans, cats and even chickens) and I'm sure she would have adored our own little girl and been her little protector ❤️ I hope she's with us, watching over all of us 😻

23/05/2023

Happy 1st Birthday to Irelys' last ever litter 🥰 can't believe it's been a year since Irelys delivered you three into the world!

Bentley 💙 Crookshanks 🩵 & Coco 🩷

Coco has spent the day sunbathing, catching flies and enjoying lickelix.

She absolutely loves her birthday present 🎁 (door hanging toy) however the gimmick didn't fool her for long and she soon found a more cunning way to retrieve the toy! From above 😅 She doesn't fall for things like this, just like her mother 🤣 far too clever 😆

Swipe ----------------------‐---> for a throwback to tiny Coco!

We hope both Crookshanks and Bentley have a wonderful birthday too!

Our very special Coco Loco!

This crazy coconut (and her brothers Bentley and Crookshanks) turns one on Tuesday 🥰🥳🎉 We can't wait, but this day is always going to be a sad reminder that her mother was still with us this time last year and makes me think about how she called us to help her give birth at 4am, plus all the other things she did that showed us the depth of her trust in us, which absolutely breaks me.

I try to find some comfort in wondering if Irelys left us so abruptly because she was destined to be my daughter's guardian angel, Irelys would have adored Raya I just know it, but thinking that she protected Raya from the spirit world throughout my pregnancy and the birth soothes some of the pain and anguish I feel over losing her through being spayed. It shouldn't have happened, but it did. Nearly a year after her death, and only now can I type the words as they are on social media. She died from an operation that many vets don't think twice about, that cats and dogs have every single day and it's so wrong that my precious Irelys had to experience this. I will never stop blaming myself for her death because I arranged her neutering with the vet.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of Irelys, and Coco is the complete double of her, in both her facial features but also her personality. However Coco Loco has her own little quirks which I adore 🥰 she's the perfect balance of her mother, who was my soul cat, but also herself and I have every confidence that our ten week old daughter will be Coco's very best friend and I just know she will be Raya's soul cat 💖

And that's that. Our little (actually rather big now!) ball of fluff Peanut has finally found her forever home 🏡 ❤

She's off to a wonderful family to meet her new cat brother and doggy friends 😸

Peanut loved to play with her wands and toy springs, as well as having the softest furr you've ever felt 😻

We will miss her, but know she's going to be so happy in her new home!

Peanut is the last kitten of our last litter to leave, time for a break now while we have our own crazy little girl 👶🏼🩷

Peekaboo, Peanut sees you!

... And off she goes to be with her new 😻

Sad, yet exciting times as Pepper goes to start her own adventures with a family of her own to love and adore 🥰 I will miss her meowing for cuddles and sitting on my shoulder any chance she got but we couldn't be prouder of the affectionate little love bug she has become 🤎

Back where she belongs, in her favourite place - our Christmas Tree 🎄

Christmas finally feels something like normal now she's here in some form or another, but we know it won't be the same, with Irelys gone. Its our first Christmas without her and none of her 6 children/grandchildren have figured out how to climb up the tree just yet, which I suppose we are thankful for, but there's also an eerie silence in the house knowing Irelys isn't showing off her adept hunting skills by launching herself up a 7ft tree 🥺

I miss you every single day Noonoo, hope you are chasing mice and cheese up there and happily reunited with those we lost too early, Lana & Luca 🩷🩵

Thank you to
again for making this possible for us 🤍

It is with a heavy heart that after much consideration, we have decided to take a break from our bengal breeding programme.

Our personal circumstances are changing and whilst we are thrilled to share with you all, our kitten families and friends, that we have our own little baby on the way 👶🤰 this also means that these two lovely little girl kittens will be our last available for the foreseeable future 😻 but we will continue to share photos of our own beloved cat family from time to time.

We would like to thank all of you for the years of continued support 🩷 please do keep in touch 😊
