still decorating the house and I hope to have it all finnished by next Monday . . . feels so good to finally see the end of it!!
Looking forward for my vacation that this year will be for 5 weeks in France at Le cap D'Agde with almost all our children and grandchild, me and my husband will drive down 2300 kilometers and the kids go by plane to Marsille.
A bonus picture of a little sister to Zabaione and Macedonia.
kittens are moving out one by one but I manage to get about 80 photos of them all together before some of them left.
I was able to put them all on my sofa and I think I shot about 40 pics then I got tired and putted my camera away and went to the kitchen for a coffee, when I got back some minutes later all sat still on the sofa so I had to take some more!!
summer is on it's way and I have been re-decorating inside my house with new wallpapers and paint and in my garden new flowers to be planted!! and I tell you . . . it's not cheep!!
Music is for me the best medicine for everything . . . found this song that I had forgot but have so many memories to!! Have a good listening!!

thank you all for your nice word about my loss for "Flashy" through here and via e-mail . . .
Yesterday I had an even greater loss when my belowed IC.Ulthar Il Rosso degli Elfi.DM died in my arms peacefully, on the very same day he become 14 years and 1 month old.
I can not believe that can it can hurt so much to loose him and I am so so sad . . . . but I am also thankful that I did not went to the vet for help since he did not seam to be in pain, to let him stay at home and prevent any stress for him his last hours gives me satisfaction even though I greef him so.
He made a huge differet for the type of the Devon breed in Sweden and had a such lovely character that one almost could not believe he was a cat!! he brought so many things along beside beeing a cat as a lifetime friendship with my dearest friend Cristiana Marangoni, that bred him. 14 years ago I visited her in her home and there he was, 4 month old, extremely typy and no coat and my heart was lost.
still counting, over 2300 cats, over the world, would not have been born if it wasn't for my beloved "Woopie" "Polpetta" "Ulthar" . . . . he had many names and he will be so missed . . . .

]]>Having Flashy, the little brown spotted tabby boy with those huge ears, it was like having all figures right on the Lotto ticket and I had won at least a million.
Last Wednesday, he was to have his second shot with Tricat but I noticed he was a little hot and not so active so I decided he would wait for one week and I left with his litter mates. On the evening he had some ham and cheese, water and food and I noticed he was a little stiff in his walk, as I can recall now he also had lost a lot of his “fat” and his spine was clearly visible. I went to sleep and woke up at 04.30 and I found him in the litter tray, I picked him up and he was in pain since he tried to bite me when I picked him up, 15 minutes later he’s dead.
I have never experienced such quick death in a kitten/cat and only symptoms was fever . . . no other cats/kittens are sick not even a sneeze from anyone. I have sent him for an autopsy and I hope to have some understanding on what was wrong, feels like I am standing in Bank to collect my win from my Lotto ticket when they tell me I have misread on one figure!!
]]>I am totally lost in this boys look and what a super temperament he's got!!
Flashy is the brownspotted tabby one . . .
