Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / August 2006Purrs for Kira
I don't know if I've mentioned this before - may have slipped my mind - but Miranda's mother Kira gets epileptic seizures every now and then. She had one the other night. They used to come every 6 months or so, but now they are coming every 3-4 months. :o( My niece has opted not to medicate her, since the meds usually cause other complications. This condition seems to be hereditary; at least one of Kira's siblings has it. IIRC, it's a female, and the owner has chosen to continue breeding from her even after the condition was discovered! Sometimes I just don't get these breeder types. Kira's condition had not been discovered before she had her kittens. But all this means that I will have to keep a close watch on Miranda. :o( Some purrs for Kira would be greatly appreciated. My niece has posted a lot of pictures from the island, though she says she still has a lot that she hasn't had time to process yet. If you go far enough backwards in the photostream, you can see some pictures of Kira being walked. She isn't on the island pictures, because she doesn't enjoy being on the island, so she didn't go this year. There are some of Caliban and Miranda, and a lot of Kasper and Emil (Kasper is darker and has glowering eyes - he looks like a lion in the face, while Emil has a sweet innocent look about him). http://flickr.com/photos/45867313@N00/ And if you go far enough backwards you will find another traditional Finnish food in the making: Karelian pirogi. :o)  SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

Kira's slave's photos are stunning, as usual. I thought the one of Kasper stretching silhouetted against the shore was funny. Are there any more stories to go along with the pictures of Caliban and Emil sniffing each other's butts? Your last story about the ambush sounded like it could have been continued. ;) >And if you go far enough backwards you will find another traditional >Finnish food in the making: Karelian pirogi. :o) I was wondering what that is, and I'm still wondering!

Your last story about the ambush sounded > like it could have been continued. ;) I thought that pic of Kasper was funny, too. Emil's and Caliban's relationship is hard to describe. I've been thinking about how to describe it, and haven't come to any solution. They were mostly OK with each other, they often sniffed each other thoroughly, and sometimes they almost played together. Or it was more like, they played in parallel; if say I was pulling a long reed around for them to chase, they would chase it in turns, but never at the same time. Or they would run around the cliffs side by side, but never touch each other (Mir and Cal would always end up wrestling if they ran around the cliffs). I think they're both just so very non-aggressive that neither quite had the guts to initiate a good wrestling match. >> And if you go far enough backwards you will find another traditional >> Finnish food in the making: Karelian pirogi. :o) > > I was wondering what that is, and I'm still wondering!

The traditional topping is a mixture of butter and boiled eggs. They are an easy snack for lunch, and most people buy them ready-made from the shops, but my niece is into baking and cooking and such. I've never made them myself, but I believe it's a huge job. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

That is so irreponsible of the breeder to continue to breed from a line with a known defect. Can you put pressure on your cat fancy to have her deregistered? (assuming she is a registered breeder) at the very least someone should complain to your cat fancy council. As you know I breed Burmese, many years ago I struck a hereditary problem with the Tonkinese, I made the heart breaking decision to throw away 6 years of hard work trying to work my way up the genetic ladder with the Tonks, they had only just been recognised in NZ as a breed. One kitten died (at five months) all the other kittens checked out just fine BUT I couldn't be sure that they didn't carry the gene for the defect. The offspring of my Burmese girl mated to another Burmese were fit and healthy. Purrs for your baby to stay healthy.

I'm glad that your niece has discovered it, and that she is being monitored, and sad that they'll be no more kittens from her. But it's better that way if it's hereditary. SignatureCheryl > Purrs for Kira and for Miranda. I'm glad that your niece has > discovered it, and that she is being monitored, and sad that > they'll be no more kittens from her. But it's better that way if > it's hereditary. The first few times Kira had a seizure, she was rushed to TED, but there's not much they can do, so now she just watches over Kira during a seizure. X-rays and bloodtests show there's nothing wrong with her (like a tumour). Apparently, she is fine five minutes after a seizure; she will lay there panting for a while, then she will snap out of it, empty all the food bowls she can find, and be very happy and purry and want attention. They are monitoring her, but as long as the seizures don't come more often, they are not going to medicate her. She's a bit of a scaredycat and would be difficult to pill, and as I mentioned, the meds may have side effects, so I'm convinced this is a good decision. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.
