He is! Those pics do not show his size lol. He's not really big, more like fat lol. He has a big tum tum. You should see how Dans dad feeds him and Tin Tin, my god. He acts like they are constantly starving. He piles food into their dishes, it's literally overflowing. And then he complains about having to sweep the extra kibbles up, but of course he can't just put enough food to fill the bowl lol.

And then of course they always get their wet food, about two cans a day.

I should take pics of Tin Tin, he is HUGE! He's almost 20 pounds now! He's really big but does have a little pudge hehe.

I would have taken pics of him but he was underneath the house like always.

Oh Inka you are a beauty!

They do look alike hehe. Inka is more orange though. lol Here is a more recent picture of Icky, taken about 6 months or so ago. You can see my moms plants in the back. She collects plants lol and it's rubbing off on my younger brother who is now saying he wants to be a Botanist.

He talks about certain plants at the dinner table hehe.

So here is Icky. You can see she is a little heftier in this pic. She has lost a lot of weight since they found out what her problem was and it's doing good for her heart.

I can't wait to go visit them!!!

Lut,
I am still planning on being at the PT California so maybe you can come to Whittier and see her?

Whittier is not that far away from LA. Actually come visit the whole fur and feathered family lol. Oh my brother has a fire bellied newt too so can't forget him!

They are brother and sister. Mystic is from Houdinis first litter and Cheetah is from Houdinis second litter. Mystic is actually a mix, as we weren't wanting kittens when my roomate let her out and all it took was about 6 hours for her to get pregnant. He was very black when he was little and he was the only marbled kitten in the litter.

He was also the only black kitten, the rest were blues and spotted. He had a rough start in life and had to be on IVs and meds and force fed whenhe was tiny because he was the runt, along with Winky, and they both developed an URI. I remember thinking to myself that he was going to pass away along with Winky, who was much worse! It was so saddening. But we kept at it, with tons of meds, bottle supplemental feeding and they BOTH made it through.

Four days after Houdini had her first litter my roomates cat had a litter too!

But he always let her out.

What was really neat is that they would nurse eachothers kittens. You have to see the picture, it is so cute! So I don't know who Mystics dad is and I am assuming he is so much darker because of his daddy?

Houdinis second litter was bred by me...I should take a picture of Daddy. He too is a Bengal, but way bigger than Houdini!

He has nice spots too.

After Houdinis third litter that was it! No more kittens for me, and all the kitties got spayed!

I still talk to the owners and not too long ago we had a birthday party for the second litter. It's so neat to see the kittens all grown up. One boy is so big. But anyways enough rambling for now lol. I'll try to find a pic of Mystic when he was a baby to post.

Oh no lol!

I have found so many cute pictures so be forwarned, hehe. I will be scanning a bunch of pics shortly. SOOO CUTE!

I know! LOL I told Randi a long time ago I would send her pics but I never got around to it. They do look a like though, but yes Spanky is a bit overweight.

**NoahsMommy** · 04-07-2003, 12:40 PM

Very cute pictures!!

Love those Orangies!!!

**luckies4me** · 04-07-2003, 12:51 PM

More pics!

Winky was the tiniest kitten in the litter. After looking at this pic I guess Mystic wasn't the only marble.

Kevin is a girl, the black/black and white kittens are hers. They would feed eachothers kittens. What's weird is that both Houdini and Kevin each had five kittens, but one stillborn each.

But the others grew up nice and healthy.

Here is Houdinis second litter, aren't they cute!! As you can see we had major fluffiness in this litter, which was a complete shock to me until I found out about the MainCoon in the line lol. I wanted to keep the two fluffy kittens, they were so cute. They slept with us all the time. It was funny because they were spotted but had long hair, hehe. You can see in this pic the nice colored girl, she looked just like SAS's Ti but a little more sotckier. That is the little girl I wanted to keep, she was the only show quality kitten in the whole litter. She was sold pretty fast. But I kept Cheetah and Tin Tin instead. I cried my eyes out when the fluffers left.

But I still get to see them!

You can see the nicely colored girl, how her color sticks out from the rest. She was so beautiful!

Here's Cheetah as a kitten:

And here's the nice colored/marked girl...so pretty!

They could have used her for Toygers lol.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures!

But no more kittens for me unless they are rescues. hehe

Great pictures, love that orangie!

**batgirl1980** · 04-07-2003, 03:46 PM

oh my gosh! Eliza is in loveeeee with Spanky!

He looks sooo much like her (you can see her face in my avatar, but i'll post an attachment of her as well).

She says "It's about time I saw a handsome face like that!"

**smokey the elder** · 04-08-2003, 07:07 AM

OMG! How many kittens were in that first litter? I saw 9!! Did I count right? Too cute for words.

I like to know how many were in that first litter as well.

Do you mean the Houdini and Kevins litter? That pic has two different litters in it lol. Kevin is the mom of the black/black and white kittens. Houdini has Mystic and the blue kittens. They each had five, but one stillbirth each. So four kittens. So that would make 8 kittens in that picture, and two mommies.

Kevin was my roomate Nates cat. She had another litter after that and who knows if she ever got spayed or not.....she went and all the kittens mind you of the second litter, went to live with his sister. She kept all of them! So now she has 10 cats lol.

Houdini had 7 in the second litter and 8 in the third, then she got spayed!
