I'm not going to complain. I've thoroughly enjoyed the long autumn. But it was time to give the site and blog a winter makeover. After all, I need to do something while waiting for spring kittens. Sheldon and Satine will make such lovely babies. But for now, all Sheldon is interested in is chilling in laps.<br />

There is a school of thought where breeders are a vile evil, pushing more kittens into a world that already has too many, for crass profit. That may be true in worst case scenarios, but most breeders I've met do what they do for the love of animals, and more often spend money rather than make it. I read <a href="http://www.dogster.com/lifestyle/i-was-a-dog-breeder-for-15-years-why-does-that-make-me-a-monster">an article</a> today about the the same kind of breeder shaming occurring to dog breeders and it inspired me to share my thoughts on this.<br />
<br />
In a perfect world there are no cats homeless. People don't casually cast off inconvenient animals to become strays, leave their pets unspayed or unneutered to breed randomly, or let them outdoors loose to become lost or injured. I'm not naive. The world is still far from these goals. If people strive for them though, surely we will get there someday, right? Then where does the next generation of pet cats (or dogs) come from? If all the breeders have quit and fostered rescues, as I had one lady tell me we should do if we really loved cats, the last rescue kittens would grow up, grow old and be the last generation of domestic cats. There are between 73 and 43<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cat_breeds"> unique and special varieties</a> of felines that would disappear without breeders to continue their lineages.<br />
I'm not saying all breeders are perfect, and there are kitten and puppy mills which are a nightmare and do deserve to be shut down. But I think that carpet condemning all breeders is short sighted. I wouldn't want to give up moments like this.<br />

I only have had one, mild, location specific pollen allergy. But several very nice cat lovers have come over to visit and nearly exploded. A breeder's home is trial by fire to test feline allergies. Unless the cattery and household are totally separate, there will be pet dander.<br />
<br />
Having had one such visit recently I went looking into what can be done for allergies and found <a href="http://www.circassia.com/media/press-releases/circassia-completes-recruitment-for-cat-allergy-treatment-pivotal-phase-iii-study/">Catspire.</a> This is a product being studied globally, and offers the possibility of curing cat allergies in a course of four shots. So, to all of the frustrated cat lovers out there,<br />

"Where are the kittens? Under here? No! Ha, so sorry!" When we gave her that name it was for her sparkling personality, not her skill at illusions. But the vet has assured us Friday that the current kittens should be more like the rabbit and the hat trick. We just have to wait for them to pop out now.<br />

It seems that there's emergency matienence on the servers hosting our website, Softkitty.ca.<br />
We're not gone, just being held hostage by the net-gremlins. Inmotion hosting promises that it should be back soon. The best advice I can give is to keep calm, and sing "Soft Kitty" in the mean time.<br />

This is a moment to celebrate since we've been fighting to get weight on her since her birth. Now she can eat all she wants and not have to wait for Momma or us to feed her. Though, she has decided we put down wet food faster if she howls for it at our feet.<br />

Glory's threesome are doing well. Maybe it's not very original, but they've been dubbed Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. </div>

There are now two red and white fellows and one that may or may not be a boy and/or mink and white. We'll be keeping a close eye on these tiny guys over the next few weeks and post more updates and pictures as they grow.<br />

If you visit and http://softkitty.ca is acting/looking odd, have faith I'll get it back up and running soon. Of course I came up with this plan yesterday, when it was gray out with icy drizzle. Today we have sunshine and mild breezes, so I might get some pre-snow yard cleaning time in instead. Okay, looking at all I have or want to do, things haven't slowed down.. website, yardwork, quilting, knitting, cat baths, dog walks, nail trims. No more time to blog, must get started!
