Chuck babies due end of March

Chuck has been visiting for the last couple of weeks. What a joy to have him. He settled back in without delay - I'm convinced he remembered living here.  We only had a couple of accidents, but otherwise the perfect gentlemen where personal hygene is concerned - even in the presence of Ebony on heat!

So much like Ronnie, Rasberi and Rascal, his ancestors with the most fabulous temperament and those fat, gorgeous teddy bear paws.  Let's hope Ebony will carry to term and that we have some fabulous Chuck and Ebony pixie bob kittens - due at the end of March, here in London, UK.

Big Pixie Bob Kittens

Weighed our monster pair today, Dexter is 5.7kg (12 1/2 lbs) and Yellow Fox is 5.3kg (11 3/4 lbs). They are 7 months old. Most adult Pixie Bobs do not reach that size. Monsters, the lot of them!

Best Pixie Bob of the year for AnsonRoad Baron!

Baron won Best Pixie Bob of the Year for Western Europe for 2010 season.

Ice and Ebony this afternoon

Ice and Ebony have settled in with eachother beautifully. They are now the only two left here with me in London. Three is a crowd, and Koro started to feel left out. He has now moved in with fabulous Philippa in Highgate, right by the Heath. Perhaps my swansong, Ebony will be mated with Chuck Boris, and due to popular demand, Ice may have a litter with Yellow Fox. Contact me if you are interested in a kitten. Ice and Foxy's kittens are going to be large, Ebony and Chuck's perhaps also, but we may have a couple with show tails in there.....

Monster update - these boys here are barely 9 months old ....

These here are two brothers from our February 2011 litter, out of Ice and Ronnie.  Just look at the size of them!

That's it! I will simply have to let Ice (mother of these two) have another litter like this. Ronnie (the father of these two) has retired, but I have his half brothers, Dexter and Yellow Fox .....  I don't have any Pixie Bob kittens for sale at the moment, but If you are interested in having a monster like this, do email me. I just need the smallest excuse to not retire Ice ..

Boris (Chuck Boris), at 8 months

Chewie, at 8 or 9 months old

"I have attached some more photos of Chewie, he is a very big boy now although he still hasn't grown into those massive paws!! At the last weigh-in he was 5.6kg, although I suspect he is a little overweight as Martin was feeding him the same amount as the dog whilst I was away. He has finally decided that Martin is good enough to sit on if he can't get on my lap and is still as vocal and bossy as ever. He is incredibly lazy and spends 90% of the day asleep which may be the dog's influence and he still does not travel far when he does go out which to be honest is a relief. We both absolutely adore him and can't imagine our life without him."

Visitors with Pixie Bob cub

Polyana absolutely adores company, particularly whilst she was unwell in August. Here she is with visitors from Germany.  Thanks Ella for the gorgeous photo!

Christophe has updated us on the well being of Wesly

Thanks Christophe for the new photos. Wesley is another Rasberi baby, from her first litter in 2009 with Kipper.  He has the classic coat and the trademark chunky long legs and paws:

Update from Madagascar, the new home of our gorgeous Mada Bear

Mada Bear, aka Chabal, moved to Jean-Louis in Madagascar. Here is the update:

"Le voyage s'est bien passé malgré 6 heures de route jusqu'à Paris et 10 H 00 de vol pour arriver à Mayotte ! Chabal est très affectueux mais pour l'instant notre chatte Salsa refuse qu'il s'approche d'elle. Elle est vexée de l'arrivée de son frère qui n'arrête pas de nous coller en ronronnant ! Je crois qu'il a déjà pris quelques centaines de grammes depuis 8 jours, ce sera un gros matou je pense ! Nous sommes très heureux d'avoir adopté ce chaton !"


"The journey went well, 6 hours to Paris and a 10 hour flight to Madagascar! Chabal is very affectionate, but our cat Salsa refuses to go anywhere near him at the moment. She is not pleased with him, least of all because he does not stop to shower us with his purring.  I think he has already gained weight in the 8 days since he arrived -  I think he will be large. We are so happy to have adopted this kitten!"


Thank you Jean-Louis for the update!

I love my new camera

This is Raven, photo shoot this morning. The camera has a tiltable visor, which means I can take photos almost from the ground, certainly at running eyeheight of the cats. Raven here is 6 months old, very broad and chunky.

Photo shoot yesterday afternoon

Here are the two boys of whom I hadn't yet taken photos. Both will be going to leading breeding programs in Europe. Dexter and Yellow Fox are almost perfect: if the tail was short, and their brow a bit steeper, there would be nothing to change. Not only that, they are also enormous and just look at those long thick legs. Very few Pixie Bobs have this, and it is what makes Anson Road Pixie Bobs a striking sight.

The last photo is of Polyana, though not least! She was suffering from acute diarrhoe and two vets declared she would die. With the help of homeopathy and very specific diet, we nursed her back within 10 days and she has doubled in weight since earlier this month. But even she displays those thick legs and muscly upper arms.
