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 5 foot cat tree!

Birthday
Tabitha was born on 5/11/2008 at Heartfelt Bengals (breeder Karron Taylor).  NOTE:  Karron is an absolute Godsend.  We are so lucky to have had her as our first breeder experience.  Karron, you ROCK!

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.  For her annual heart check (12/21/10), Tabitha had 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 ("No evidence for HCM present at this time.").  See report here.

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.

SimplySimes LesisMore Hiding Under Devons Pillows

LesisMore is an absolutely stunning girl with a wild look, but nothing but love in her heart.

Name
SimplySimes
 = her breeder's cattery name
LesisMore = Named after bengal breeder Les Hall of Junglebook
of Ounce = our cattery name

Nickname = After days of trying to get the kids not to call her "Les" or "More" or "Smore", we settled with a compromise... "Zelda".  Not only for the main character of Zelda Twilight Princess, but also for the wonderfully wild Zelda married to Scott Fitzgerald author of The Great Gatsby.

LesisMores Gorgeous Markings...random spots and rosettes with two distinct colors!  <3 it!

Attributes
Zelda is a brown spotted rosetted Bengal with green eyes.  She has a heavily muscled body and large, round feet with prominent knuckles.  Her tail is the best I have seen...medium length, thick, tapered at the end with a rounded tip.  Her face is so wild with big green eyes, strong chin and lovely whisker pads. 



Birthday
Zelda was born on 4/29/2009 at 
SimplySimes (breeder Beth Bearry/Lori Simes).  NOTE:  I am so richly blessed to have met Lori & Beth and am indebted to them for their guidance, patience and friendship.

Purrrsonality
Zelda is the most loving cat we have in the house ever!  She never stops purring.  She can go from 100 miles per hour playing with a toy to a record breaking purr from your lap. 

Health
Zelda is microchipped and has received a clean bill of health from our local vet.   Zelda had her first heart check on 12/21/2010 and walked away with an absolutely clean heart report.  The cardiologist reported a normal cardiovascular examination ("No evidence for HCM present at this time.").  See report here.

Awards
Zelda entered the Reno Silver Cats - October 29, 30 & 31 - cat show.
Zelda's first show was wonderful and she showed off her loving personality!  In fact, she even got in the spotlight getting a supporting role in the TICA - Reno Cat Show 2010 video (check out 3:14).
