Ruthie sent me a picture of Avery, her so-called trouble maker??? I do not see anything but a very well behaved calm cat in this picture. Wonder what in the world Ruthie is thinking??🥰

Rachel reported an attempted run away. Frank was finally found in the recycling. Rachel did say we needn’t worry, as of now anyway she has no intentions of recycling him. Thank you Rachel for putting up with and loving a little trouble maker!!!

Janet checked in and reported that her 2 babies are well loved and still doing very well. Janet and her husband came to me through a referral from a mutual friend, Pat Filosa back in 2014. Pat was my mentor when it came to navigating the show scene and never took "no" from me insisting I had to get out of my comfort zone. I had a litter of 3 kittens at the time out of Echo and Simon and Janet and Kalish went home with 2 of them.. Many thanks to Janet for the care and love she has shown Raja and Rani over the years. I find it so hard to believe that they will soon be 11 years old. These are pictures of Raja (means "KING").
UPDATE:
The kids are better than ever! Both are so affectionate as they have gotten older. I call Raja my
“love bug” and Rani has definitely
lost some of her tortitude!
Pattie Filosa used to call her cat kids “love bugs”!
Love to you Dot and your family-
Janet ❤️

Home from the vets! I wanted to compare weights on the litter, Of course the only boy Frank is in the lead, and coming in very close to each other is Fiona at 4.8 last week, and Ivy today at 5.0. It is always nice to know that they are all off to a great start in life! A huge shout out and thank you to a very close friend and the best Vet ever, Dr. Donna Hotz🥰! Looking forward to kittens in the spring now.

Kristin checked in today with an update on Fiona! Thank you Kristin for keeping all of us up to date on the kitties and taking such good care of her and Thomas. Her sister Ivy (formally Dorothy) goes to the vets tomorrow and I will be very interested to compare weights with them. Give both Thomas and her a big hug from all of us here at CF!
UPDATE:
Hi Dot,

Sweet Fiona had a great check-up and weighed in at 4.8 lbs and all was well. She charmed the entire staff and was perfectly mannered. She and Thomas have formed the sweetest relationship and are great company for each other.

Take good care and we will check in again soon!

XOXO
Kristin

Every once in awhile you have that one special kitten that you know needs a special type of home, one that you are very sad you can't keep but you know that they deserve more than a cattery situation offers. They need the love and warmth of a lap every night in a stable pet home. When Moo came along I lost a lot of sleep, bottle fed round the clock and I got so attached to him (and him to me) that I didn't even make him available. Not knowing what I was going to do my answer came in the form of an email from Eileen. Eileen had adopted her first kitten from me 23 years ago and always had a CF kitten (or 2) living with her since then. Realizing Eileen was my angel in this difficult decision the plans were made and off he went to live with her in Florida. The tears were shed but in my heart I knew this boy had found his forever home. Thank you Eileen and Paul for stepping up when you were not really looking for another baby and opening your home and heart to a very little but special kitten that needed you and all your love. Here is Eileen's update.
UPDATE:
I know you have produced a lot of beautiful, playful, sweet and smart babies during your years in business but you have never had one more handsome than Moo! He is so sweet playful and so very smart we have been so fortunate to have adopted him from you ❤️. We just love him so very much and when he looks at us or Molly you can tell he loves us to. Thank you so very much. Happy New Year 🎆

Holly sent a picture of Ulysses all hunkered down ready for a nice long evening watching Christmas movies with her and Mark. All he needs is some good snacks for the event! Thank you Holly for keeping the little scamp happy and loving him the way you do!! His eyes are beautiful!!

Barbara had help wrapping gifts this year with McGrath! Another beautiful red and white Long hair. Thank you Babara for all the time and effort that coat of his requires and loving him the way he deserves. 💜
UPDATE:
HI, Dot,
Wishing you a most happy and healthy 2025.
Here are few photos of our 5 ½ year old Christmas kitty, McGrath. He does love sitting in boxes – pre and post wrapping. (first two photos). Barbara

Laura stopped in for an update on Callie. I guess she had more stress to the holidays than the average cat by the looks of it. 🤣Thank you to Laura for the chuckle this morning but mostly for loving and allowing another little scamp (or is it a little brat?) to invade her home!!!
UPDATE:
I love seeing the photos of Cayuga Farm kitties posing under the Christmas tree or watching out the window. Then I come by with the comic relief. After a day spent climbing into the microwave, hopping into the washing machine, and chasing me up and down the hallway, she napped behind the fridge and came by for a snack with her buddies, Dara and Milo.

Now she may need a trip to her hairdresser for the new year?
(She does generally look beautiful, but she is having a bad hair day!)

Happy new year to you!

Laura

What a great day for a Christmas photo post! Patty and Max came to me in 2009 to pick up Langley. Hard to believe he turned 15 in October but what a wonderful home I found for Cayugafarm babies! Patty (and Max) stepped up even when she wasn't looking for another kitten and I had to make the hard decision to place Aspen. Thank you Patty and Max for all you have done for my kitties!!!
UPDATE:
Merry Christmas, Dot to you and your family.
I hope you are well and enjoying the holiday season.
My apologies for this very long overdue note and update on the boys….🐈‍⬛❤️. The adorable Fenway was neutered last week, he went through it with complete ease ( except he had extra zoomies with the pain meds) he is still on the Cape with me and is Aspen’s best friend. ❤️. A new funny thing he has been doing-taking over Boston’s bed! Boston actually comes to me and meows when Fenway is in his bed. If I put Boston with him, he is fine but it’s almost like he just needs me to know 😂.
And my special Aspen- oh how I love him! When I’m home, he never leaves my side. He protects me, the house and everyone inside ❤️. Max calls him the panther because he quietly checks everything around him.
And sweet boy Langley who celebrated his 15th birthday in October- he is as sweet as ever and still purrs all the time ❤️. He can’t be bothered with all the shenanigans of Aspen and Fenway.
Let’s not forget Max’s favorite -Boston!! The big brother who tries to keep Fenway and Aspen under control. 😂. He just loves Max too. I really think he will be going to New Bedford in January. I secretly hope he doesn’t take Fenway-we love him!
This year we incorporated the boys into our annual family photo by the Christmas tree! Oh my goodness- we laughed so hard- the boys were running around except Langley. I have included the pictures to give you a Christmas chuckle.
Thank you for these beautiful kitties who bring so much joy to us and our family and friends.

I hope you enjoyed Christmas with your family. ❤️

Lots of love,
Patty & the boys

I know of so many breeders and cat owners that swear by feeding diets of raw meat and unpasturized milk to their cats. Yes, I know that gives you an advantage in the show halls by giving you a chunky big b***d cat...... but I was never one to feel that was the way to go. Now that there is an outbreak of Avian flu showing up in housecats that have never been outside the source has been proven to be the raw meat. Please, before you feed anymore raw things to your cats look into the outbreak out west right now.. it could be coming to your state soon.

Oregon authorities say a house cat died after eating raw frozen pet food that tested positive for bird flu.
