Willow's first litter - Devon Rex




On the 15th July 2004 Willow gave birth to her first litter. She was mated to Narnia's Pinoccio at his owners house. In the litter were 5 kittens but one only survived for a day - we called him Judas. Myrtle chose to name all of the kittens from trees. The other four kittens we called Clementine, Holly, Laurel and Rowan.

This photo was taken at five weeks old, but sadly of the four kittens only two survived. Holly and Laurel both died of FIP; Clementine and Rowan were not affected. At the time FIP was mistakenly considered to be infectious and so they were quarantined and part of that ruling meant that they coud not be homed before 6 months had passed. We did not consider that to be fair to the boys, so decided to keep them with us for life. Rowan died after a fit in 2014 but when I wrote this in Autumn 2017 Clem was 13 years old and died naturally in November that year. They each have their own photo and page link on the Cats adopted in Denmark page - use Back button.
