I can't actually express how over the moon we are that Lila is going to Hobbs & Co. I know she is going to be in very good hands.

I get news of them now and then and it's a lovely feeling to know that I have bred these gorgeous (well in my mind they are gorgeous) kittens and that the way they have been brought up has made them the loving, confident little cats that they are now.
So give yourself a pat on the back, and know that you have chosen fantastic homes for your babies - and there's no harm in having a little cry when they go.

I know it sounds awful, but I'm glad I'm not the only one to get so soppy, lol.

We have stayed in touch with our two breeders and give them regular updates - show successes, funny moments, photos, birthdays etc, sometimes I think they must get fed up with us LOL, but I feel that as they safely raised the kittens to become our beloved pets it's the least we can do!
