Queens of Ounce Cattery
Heartfelt Tabitha Chat of Ounce

Matriarch of Ounce Cattery...Queen Tabitha!

Tabitha is an absolutely beautiful girl with a wild look and a mischievous nature that this Gemini could relate to.

Name
Heartfelt = her breeder's cattery name
Tabitha = witch from Bewitched
Chat = French translation of cat
of Ounce = our cattery name named after the majestic snow leopard (also known as "ounce")

Tabithas coat is glittered, very dense, and silky to the touch (reminds me of rabbit fur?).

Attributes
Tabitha is a silver spotted rosetted Bengal with green/gold eyes.  She is absolutely gorgeous with heavy whisker pads, full white around her eyes, a full chin and round nostrils.  She has a heavily muscled body with big feet.  Tabitha can jump from the floor to the top of her 11 foot cat tree!

Parents & Pedigree
Her mom/dam was Silvergene Softaz Silq of Heartfelt (SBT 053102 029) and dad/sire Spothaven Silvr Dream2 of Heartfelt (SBT 012605 034).

Tabitha fetching the toy mice and bringing it to one of the boys....

Purrrsonality

Her personality is exquisite.  She loves to play with the boys by either fetching with toy mice or by playing tag and chasing them around the house.  Although it looks more like stalking.  Her best friends are a Black Labrador Retriever named Onyx and Lucian (see Studs).  She loves water and often hops into the shower before my husband in the morning.  She is brilliant and at the same time stubborn.  She can hear the refrigerator door opening from upstairs even if the boys music is blaring. 

Health
Tabitha is microchipped and has received a clean bill of health from our local vet.  In January 2010, Tabitha has a cardiac auscultation test ("auscultation is within normal limits") and an echocardiography with doppler ("results were within limits of normal").  The cardiologist reported a normal cardiovascular examination ("congenital heart disease is not evident").

Awards
Tabitha entered the Silver Cat Club Five Star Feline Face Off:  Red, White and Blue Edition Mid-Pacific Regional Show on July 3 - 5.  Tabitha placed 1st/2nd division in every ring.  Tabitha is adjusting to being in a cage and on display -- something she really doesn't like.  One judge said, "You are TOO pretty to be this angry."  :)  

Due to the stress it places on her (and me), I have decided not to show Tabitha further.
