Poor Riverdale Blue Genes Baby VERSACE!

She’s big as a house and not looking to happy about it right now 💕💖💐 (Due around the 12th X Nano)

Versace is another one we’ve used MyCatScan for.

The company we used before was Optimal Selection, and yet another cog in the enormous wheel of Mar’s Inc. Big Money, Big Food Billionaires.

They own pet food companies, genetic testing companies and veterinarian conglomerate’s. One great big finger in too many pies is a Monopoly- and I choose not to support these behemoths any longer.

Well, YAHOO! Got the results back from HealthGene and BOTH Waldo and Marty do not carry the Fel d 1 mutation. That makes Waldo, Moose, Marty and Nano ALL negative and ALL hypoallergenic, and — I think (although she has not been formally tested) we can include Lily in the crowd too since she is the mother of both Nano & Marty X Waldo.

Lily’s next litter X Riverdale Moose Eh Min is due toward the end of the month (28th) 💖💕💖💕🥳

Momma Marty 💕💕💕
(Riverdale Martingale Lily)

We got his test results back (from a different genetics company we’re using now, MyCatScan/Neogen) and our boy is clear/normal all the way down the line 🥳🥳🥳

We started breeding in 2018, and every cat we’ve had in our program has been tested, but it’s always nice to see the results for a specific cat come back & verified clear/normal.

Marty is such a great guy! He’s so laid back, easy going, loving and gentle and those are the kind of things we want to pass on to the next generations 👍👍👍

Posted • Your body needs the right building blocks to thrive.

PROTEIN: is non-negotiable. It builds and repairs tissues, supports muscle, creates enzymes and hormones, and transports vital nutrients. Without enough protein, your body can’t heal, grow, or function optimally.

FATS: are just as essential. Healthy fats provide long-lasting energy, balance hormones, support your brain and nervous system, and help absorb fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K. They also reduce inflammation and support cellular health.

CARBS: Here’s where it gets interesting. Not all carbs are created equal. If you never ate another carb again, you’d survive. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t beneficial.

Good-quality carbs from fresh produce offer unique advantages. They’re packed with essential vitamins, minerals, fiber, and powerful healing compounds called phytonutrients.

The problem is, most people are eating fast carbs—refined sugars, white flour, and processed junk—that wreak havoc on your metabolism, spike insulin, and drive inflammation.

Prioritize protein and healthy fats at every meal and fill the rest of your plate with nutrient-dense, non-starchy veggies. This combo stabilizes blood sugar, reduces cravings, and fuels your body the way nature intended. No matter what, you want to keep your glycemic load low. Always avoid refined sugars, refined carbs, and processed foods.

Nature’s Calling is our page dedicated to health and nature.

The intention of a vaccine is to artificially stimulate an organism's defence system so the system - of that particular individual - will recognize the pathogen and be programmed for a faster and more robust defensive response should the pathogen be encountered in the future.

A vaccination, in itself, does not kill a pathogen.

A pathogen is an entity on its own, and it lives, breathes, reproduces, and evolves to survive. The unwavering goal of every single organism in existence, on land, water, air, and in space, is to survive and reproduce, and they will mutate and evolve for survival. That is how all life works.

This is Biology 101.

A vaccine does not kill organisms outside of the body, and an unvaccinated organism is not necessarily harbouring a hoard of pathogens just waiting to spew them on unsuspecting passersby. If an organism is harbouring a pathogen, you can bet their own systems are hard at work fighting the battle for survival and developing their own defence mechanisms.

Herd immunity can be achieved by developed natural immunity as well as artificially induced immunity, and being unvaccinated does not necessarily mean that an individual is susceptible to a disease.

Naturally developed immunity will be far more specific to a disease and will be far more effective in the long run.

If an individual is showing symptoms of a disease, it is because that individual's body is not healthy and robust enough to fight the invader. The symptoms are the body using natural resources to rid itself of the unnatural organism.

C'mon - they want us to believe that it's impossible to survive without the almighty saviour of the - billion-dollar - pharmaceutical industry.

Coughing, sneezing, runny noses, and production of pus are expulsion mechanisms. We do not want to suppress these activities - they are a necessary part of healing.

If vaccination is effective, a pathogen will enter and be taken care of by the body's defences. Done deal.

If it is not effective, then we’ve just introduced a bunch more garbage into the body to use up valuable, and limited, energy resources - reducing overall health even more. This is where autoimmune diseases can begin.

Why would an unvaccinated individual, who is either infected or not, be a danger to an individual who has developed a protective response through vaccination? The vaccinated individual should be protected against the invader and not get sick.

Every individual, vaccinated or not, can be a carrier of a pathogen at any moment in time - day to day, month to month, year to year.

Remember, these are teeny, tiny organisms, and they can mutate and evolve in a split second of our own giant organism time!

‘Spread’ is by expelling the pathogen into the environment, eg. sneezing into the air, urinating/defecating into a common source of water, or touching/rubbing common surfaces.

Unhealthy bodies get sick because they are not strong enough, nor robust enough, to defend themselves. This one additional invasion may be the one that the organism can no longer manage. The straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak.

Health is achieved by proper nutrition and having the billions of our building blocks strong and healthy. A variety of real food, not fake or processed, items - fresh air and exercise in a healthy and safe environment achieve overall health.

Artificial pills and pokes do not.

This family keeps us up to date on the chairman’s antics and I’m always so amazed how easy going this guy is!!! This is a Lily son from her 2023 litter right before we moved to nowhere land, lol!

This reminds me of our Blue Genes Baby Levi. He’s so easy going and a BIG GOOF too (he’s not poly though).

I recieved this message about an ad I listed on Kijiji."Are you selling cats or watt? Because I’m not sure what your ad is about. You should never put down other breeders or try to take their business. Pure bred animals are the ones that don’t usually end up in a pound because people pay high pr...

And … this is how we roll here.

Riverdale Billy Bob playing and cuddling with Cachakatcan Yammer.

They do not know -- nor do they care — that one has pieces of paper behind his parents names and the other does not.

Every day we seem to be bombarded with divisiveness - in politicians, social issues, health and health care, online and on the street, and I’m sooooo completely tired of it, exhausted really.

Somebody jumped on me the other day about what I do, yet they’re flogging XXL awesome “European” lines Maine C**n kittens. (many know how I feel about XXL and the false proclamation of ‘European’ Maine C**ns, especially awesome line ones 🙄).

These animals are not products - they are living, breathing, sentient beings with feelings and emotions, and they don’t give a damn one way or another about each others size, shape, colour, or titles.

And everyday I care less and less too.

It’s all about human ego, status, and 💰💵💰💵💰

Things that make you go 🧐🧐🧐

Now, millions of dollars are made by the allopathic medical system and pharma from fear mongering and vaccination ‘required’ for cats for calicivirus.

Again, about dogs, but the principles apply to all mammals.

Diagnosing a Fart

Yup, you read that right, this was a phrase used by a good friend and colleague during a conversation yesterday and I thought it was too good not to share.

We were talking about Resource Guarding and how we both felt it was a label that is often used with an incorrect meaning attached to it.

Many people and even professionals see Resource Guarding as a dog saying " it's mine" a dog that doesn't want to lose or share something, an item, a space, themselves and that's it.

However, RG is usually the symptom.

It can be pain, gut health, boredom, conflict the list goes on and on.

It's important to not just end the diagnosis with the label.

Just like diagnosing a fart.

Why did you fart?

The fart was the symptom.

You may have felt nervous which created gas, you may have constant gut issues, an underlying health issue, have eaten something that didn't agree with you, be on medication, this list goes on.....see the link now 😅

Everyone knows my issues with labels even though i know we often need them. Labels can impact our responses, the information we share and our understanding and desire to dig deeper.

In a world where we are all looking for our own answers online, you first have to have to know how to peel that onion and understand what's actually going on, not just react to the symptom.

If you start taking pills for wind and it turns out you have a stomach ulcer, the pills could irritate the stomach ulcer and make it worse, get the idea!!!

This is why a good professional will never offer quick fixes or jump straight to " fixing" we spend time investigating and learning more, we peel the onion to try and diagnose the fart 😅

Annnnd so it begins!

I have a text message thread on the go about one of our kittens, Zara, and I’d lay a hundred bucks down that the questions and replies are AI generated 😡😡😡

Another reason that I ask for a one-one telephone conversation FIRST thing!

Sadly, kittens and puppies are bought and sold everyday by text-message, e-mail, and through financial transaction websites.

One of the FIRST signs that you’re dealing with a BAD BREEDER or scam artist!

If they don’t want to talk to you - RUN FAR AND FAST!

It’s funny, when I say we are a ‘natural and wholistic’ breeder people seem to instantly jump to the premise that holistic is that woo woo stuff.
Natural = Woo woo
Holistic = Woo woo

‘Holistic’ by definition is characterized by the belief that the parts of something are interconnected and can be explained only by reference to the whole.

Medically characterized by the treatment of the whole person.

Biology, the scientific study of life, tells us that life can be studied at different levels. The ‘organization’ of life, and that life is greater than the sum of its parts.

Before John D. Rockefeller and his systematic decimation of all things he couldn’t earn a profit from in the study of health, like herbalism and homeopathy, health and healing was synergistic, and no one believed that just one nut or just one bolt could repair the whole system - but that is the overwhelming belief today. A pill for this, a poke for that, and a cut for anything else.
