                  "Thomas"- FELV/FIV Negative

                 We found this handsome boy at the "No Dogs Allowed Cat Show," July 17th & 18th, 2004.  My mom wanted an orange tom for Mother's Day like she had always had as a child.  We had searched for some time, but once we saw Thomas, we fell in love.

"Those Eyes"

                 Thomas is the fearless one of all the cats.  Born March 3rd, 2004, Thomas is the glue that holds all of the cats together.  He loves to be held high on your shoulders and begs for constant attention.  Although neutered, he is definitely a ladies man and the babysitter of all the new kittens.

           Thomas is a Red Spotted Japanese Bobtail bred by Nikki Crandall-Seibert of Rockinashi and Ginchika Catteries.  Lovingly been called Red-Butt by his breeder, my mother decided to call him Thomas because he was her orange tom cat.  Thomas is now a Premier having won all six of his winner ribbons at his first adult show in St. Paul, 1-30-05.  He was also awarded 8th best shorthaired premier by one of the judges!

         Silver Belle of Norskipoints

                  Trinka 6-Months Old- FELV/FIV Negative- Last Tested 05-07-07

               Silver Belle of Norskipoints (Trinka) has the most beautiful blue eyes.  She is a Seal Lynx Colorpoint Siamese and a gorgious one at that!  She was born April 13th, 2004 and came to live with us in October 04'.  She was bred by Debbi Birkeland in Saulk Rapids, MN and from the moment I saw her, I new she had to be apart of our family.   :)

Trinka 2 1/2 years (See how their back darkens and gets spotted as they grow older)

             I have never seen a Lynx Point as stunning as Trinka.  Her eyes are a deep crystal blue and the stripes on her legs almost look bengal-like.  We first thought Trinka was a blue-lynx point because of the silver hue of her paws and in-between her stripes so we named her Silver Belle meaning "silver beauty."  But after her first cat show in the household pet devision, we found out she was a seal lynx point.  We kept the name anyways but  her call name is Trinka (which means "female" in Geman).  It just seemed to fit her personality.

"Snow Tigers"

                   Lynx Point Colorpoint Siamese (like the one above) have similar colors as solid point cats, but with striking markings on their face, paws, and tail.  Also referred to as Snow Tigers, Lynx Colorpoint Siamese have stripes on their face that create a 'M" on their foreheads.  Horizontal stripes also streak across the sides of their cheeks starting at the corners of their eyes.  Their tails are banaded and so are their legs.  Their ears are solid except for sooty "thumb prints" in the middle.
