Video of sailing, Sucia Island, and Kulshan is now available: youtu.be/slfzJoIMb1k

He absolutely loved sailing, and it was a nice, and relaxing outing.

Navigator Kulshan inspecting the accuracy of our anchor position. He wasn't overly impressed. But it is hard to impress a Viking Cat with instinctual sea skills.

Cats on boats are cool, one step closer for me becoming my dream of a Viking pirate.

New video of Litter Theta just dropped: youtu.be/YlQudIHeBU8.

This litter is wonderful. We will most likely have one kitten available after choices from the waitlist are made. Inquire at www.rebelskog.com if you are interested in finding out more.

Based on success in this class I was offered the opportunity to be a future course leader (G1). It is important that we, as feline breeders and fanciers, give back to the community whenever possible.

I was also very appreciative from the course leaders on the push to make my final paper more comprehensive. My choice of special topic was about the genetics of white cats (rebelskog.com/genetics_kit...). Because of this research I realized that our white girl Roewe, might be a tortoiseshell.

Last month I also completely the PawPeds G2 Course (www.pawpeds.com/cms/index.ph...). This is a course intended as an in-depth knowlege base for cat breeders, people showing cats, and cat fanciers. I highly recommend this for anyone getting into breeding cats.

After an unsuccessful first clutch, the geese hatched out an outstanding second clutch of 8. They are excellent swimmers and foragers, and the big geese are teaching them to hide from the eagles. Notice the flocks attention while the little ones graze.

We will be keeping Atlas as a rememberance of Norton.

Follow the sadness in my last post everything starts to improve. In paying homage to our beloved Norton, Litter Theta (rebelskog.com/litter_theta...), will be named after Norton Motorcycles. This is a gorgeous litter with the full rainbow of colors.

Norton was to be the sire of our two spring litters. about a week before his death we had mated him to Liv. At the time of his death we did not have confirmation of pregnancy.

To our joy and amazement Litter Theta (Norton x Liv) is in honor of Norton.

We had to make a decision in short order on whether to have him undergo a major surgery, and live life with severe, nown, compliciations, or let him go with dignity. We made sure to hold him and let him know he was loved as we said goodbye.

He had a urinary obstruction. We identified it in time and got him to the emergency vet. His toxin level was low, and it should have been a routine unblocking. They were unable to remove the block, after several attempts, by multiple Dr's (and this is a top notch emergency clinic).

Norton was our up-and-coming stud, but he was also a companion to everyone in our family, as well as our other stud Deuces. We were very lucky to have two intact males who were friends.

I will be writing an article on my website regarding the contributions to Norton's death. In the meantime,

Let our journey start with one of our greatest tragedies. Last month we lost our beautiful, wonderful, majestic Norton. This hit our family very hard, as anyone who loses a beloved pet can attest.

In the meantime enjoy the stunning RebelSkog's Kulshan from Litter Zeta (Deuces x Frozina). He will make his show debut in Langley BC this August.

For those of you wondering about the Jazz Performance check out this preview clip (youtu.be/liktY2x8V38). The weather was great, and the kids sounds fantastic.

Her half siblings, Litter Zeta, have adopted her as one of their own. They provide a nice warm place for her when it is nap time, and makes sure she is eating. Denali, is pictured, playing next to Cassiopeia, while she feeds.

We are super pleased to announce that last week Roewe had her litter, a big singleton girl, who we have named Cassiopeia. She is adapting well to this world, growing quickly, and is a voracious eater.

Checking on the kittens and I walk into the nursery to see this hilariously relaxed lunchtime. Kulshan lounging on Frozina was the cherry on top.

Litter Zeta is now a month old. They are clumsily trotting and learning to play. This is extremely crucial in their social development.
