      Panthera Chat du Nord | 
| Born May 14th 2001 | 
| Calle | 
 | 
| They had 8
      kittens: 4 black&white boys, one black tabby mackerel w/ white boy,
      one black tortie tabby mackerel w/ white girl and two black tortie w/
      white girls: the one color I've wanted to have for so long, were born in
      this litter!! I went to see them on August 9th, as they had just turned 12 weeks old. The smallest kitten had a weight of 1650+ grams and the heaviest boy was a bit over 2 kilos. I was really surprised at these good weights! And I was even more surprised when I got to see the gang: big, strong, relaxed, open minded, active... well... most of them were after some time.... I hope you like these babies as much as I did!! | |
| Let me start with my favorite little guy, a black&white boy, who kept following me around and even came sit with me! | |

|  | The breeder said that this little guy was always sleeping when she wanted to take his picture. Over here he just woke up. Then he got so active I couldn't get him in front of the camera. But later... well: take a look! | 
|  | 
 | 
| Would it be possible to get all | 8 of them in one picture? | 
|  | First try: let's play a little game! I can see 7 kittens and a tail. Does that count too? | 
| Second try: food. Hmm.... interesting! But not to all 8 of them! | |
|  | Take a little walk, play another game.... Nope! | 
| Yes! Here they are: all kittens of Calle and Panthera are in! Don't ask me how though.... | |
|  | 
 | 
|  | Three little sisters! |

|  | Naughty? Who? Me??? | 
|  | This girl stayed in the cattery. | 
|  | 
 | 
|  | Do you want to
      know a secret? Yes yes, tell me! | 
|  | What secret?
      What are you whispering over there?! Nothing, it's nothing.  <ggggggg> | 
|  | Than what are
      you giggling about? Giggling? Who, me?! Oh, c'mon, you must have misheard or some thing.... I'd swear I heard you giggle! | 
|  | 
 | 
| I know I took pictures of all kittens, we made sure all of them were in front of the lens. But it's pretty hard to tell 4 black&white boys apart if you haven't seen them grow up! | |

| It's a good life here, at Chat du Nord!!
