Update - The Legacy of the Mystery Caller

We collected a handful of photos of from some of his old and recent litters.  Also he is the Grandfather to some too, which we have also included here in this web album.  It was originally intended as a bit of a case study. 

However, it also shows you what a great kittens and how they matured.  If you compare these to the pictures of Ollie himself as a tiny baby within this album, you'll see the traits continue through the generations.  Ollie of course now needs to retire or move to another program.  We were looking for (this wonderful boy) a home and/or a stud placement.

Update - C's Shells In Demand

It appears that our homebred cat, Celia (Handale Seashell Collection) and foundation stud Ollie (Salvarda Mystery Caller) babies have really appealed to all, and are in much demand.

The first real photo shoot was only published Wednesday lunchtime... We had a paparazzi style glimpse beforehand, but it didn't show the kittens beauty off.  In 2 days of publishing them in full glory, I now only have 2 out of 5 available. Perry, Pearl and Clem are all spoken for.  Both male Sully and female Callie, are still looking for homes.  However, I don't think that will be for long at this rate.

So if you've got your eye on one of these remaining really rufus red babies as a family addition, or more aptly a shell to your collection... Better be quick, they're being snapped up like hot cakes!

Update - Celia x Ollie, are an item!

This girl is very overdue in having a photoshoot, Celia (Handale Seashell Collection) is one of those cats that is hard to take photos of... she is either too close or too quick.   To get her attention I have to make sudden noises or waggle a toy frantically.  This of course give us wide eye shots, but it's better than no shots... I just wish I could get a more relaxed facial expression and I'll continue to work on that.

Handale Seashell Collection is a collaboration of Ansonroad and Salvarda lines.  Her Dam is the very large, very rufus, longhaired, wild looking Alessi.   Her Sire is the Champion and #2 Regioniol Best Pixiebob of 2009-2010, Edward Red Esq.  From this pairing we got 5 lovely kittens, so lovely we kept 3 for our program (Van, Celia and Sandy).  Sandy was the quad poly, Celia and Van (and the remaining 2 littermates) the straight footed kittens.  Both Van and his sister Celia had really strong faces, and overall type. 

Celia's best assets are her profile, round face, great forehead, gorgeous puffy whisker pads, lynx tips, vivid gooseberry green eyes and long leg length are perfect to standard.  Wide heads in females are often hard to get, and this girl has a perfect shape.  She has good pattern, colour and texture to her coat.  It is of shaggy short length which adds a bit of edge to create a ruggedness.  In addition to that nice type, her fun loving and sassy spirit, and prized rufus tones from her mum are the icing on the cake. 

A fun loving girl, thats always looking for attention or a toy to play with.  She is very alert, smart and a bit of a livewire.  Celia stayed here at Totallycoastal because of her very nice profile mainly.  Her tail is short of foot, which is too long for her to aspire to a show cat, but her overall type is definately of breeding quaility.
We have already mated Celia to Ollie, and she is expecting her first litter in March.  We will be keeping 1 kitten from this mating.

Hock Tailed and Muscular.

Ollie Chilling.

Update - Stud boy Ollie, still like his Toys

You've seen countless pictures of kittens enjoying a good old game of catch.  But all our adults still like to play too, yes even Our Stud boys. Doesn't matter how big and butch they look or how old they are.... there's always interest in cuddles and toys as well as the ladies.

Ollie hasn't had much of a mention recently, and I thought I'd post some of him having some fun. But it also fits the purpose of showing you how muscular and chunky this boy has become now he is 2.5 years old. Theres still some maturing to do, but I think you'll agree, Ollie is taking on a bit of a fierce look as his gotten older...

There's nothing fierce in his nature at all. If anything his a total scaredy cat, couldn't meet a more quieter, shy boy... Once his overcome his initial fear of someone new, he'll be following you around, playing games and sitting on your lap for some fussing... as long as you don't mind him dribbling all over you!

Ollie was Our first boy we introduced into Our Program, he sired Big Mac Supersize Me, and Shanty who are staying here in Our breed program.  Placed kittens include Rookpool (now Oscar) and Driftwood (aka Drifter) and you can read about them in our Owners Updates.

Now back to this big beautiful chunky boy....hope you like the pictures as much as the kittens. Admittedly Ollie has lost his cuteness, but I think he is still stunning.

 

Ollie Age 2

Another Milestone Reached for Ollie, now aged 2. So heres a picture of him Chilling in his crib on Sunday Morning!

Big Mac grows & grows....

Look at the size of this boy, this was taken last week... he's even bigger now.   For a 2 week old kitten he is just huge. Will Big Mac Supersize Me keep this rate of growth going?? 

We might have Kitten Kong on our hands... Don't worry Big Mac, I have no intention of changing your name to Twinkle.  Some of you 30 somethings and over, might know what I'm going on about.  For those of you that think I've gone mad, click the link to be in the know! 

He is also taking on that more cat like look about him now, dont you think?

Sea Shanty finally opens her eyes!!

Big Mac in another photo shoot @ 2 weeks

Starlet Update, The Boy - Driftwood (AKA Drifter)

The third baby to be born was Driftwood, another boy. He has by far the biggest spots of them all.  His colour is more subtle than his other brothers, it reminded me if Driftwood bleached by the Sun... I think he will turn out to be a handsome chap.  Drifter is the easiest to take pictures of, very laid back and easy to handle. His eyes are just beginning to open a tiny crack, but they are all openning in the order in which they were born in, so this is not surprising. Our girl Sea Shanty still has hers shut being the last born.

Starlet Update, The Boy - Broadside

We had to call this chap Broadside, as he is er...Broad!  Everything about him is chunky, but he is the quietest and most gentle out of the litter. We wonder if he'll catch up to Supersize Me! It's a lot to ask for but if anyone could match it I think it has to be this guy.  He has as short bobtail which is tucked under a bit here so you cant really see it. Once again, a fantastic colour and buckshot spots all over. He has a nice strong brow already and a good change in direction on the head and muzzle. The Muzzle is a shorter length and very wide. I'll do better next time on the facial shots, as he wanted to go back to mum after the second photo. One eyes now open, the second has just started. Broadside was the Second Baby to be born in this litter.

Starlet Update, The Boy - Rock Pool (AKA Rocky)

Rock Pool was first born, and the first to open his eyes. He is first to go exploring, first to eat, and basically very forward.  He has great markings, very spotty and a fantastic colour.  The Easiest way to get pictures is to balance them on my leg, so theyre not too far from Mum. Otherwise it causes them to start calling and Star wants to hide them away.  

Starlet Update, The Girl - Sea Shanty

I think we have 3 Boys and 1 Girl in the Starlet group. We already chose 4 coastal/nautical theme names and these are Rock Pool, Broadside, Driftwood and Sea Shanty.  From these this rather large girl from hereon will be known as Sea Shanty. 
Both her, and her half brother Supersize me share identical tails.  She has the best tail ever, very characteristic of her dad but a tad shorter, and ideal for showing.  We will be keeping an eye on how she develops and hope she'll be strong enough to meet show standard.  So far she shows promise with a well defined muzzle, good straight nose showing no signs of pinching. Her frame and general build overall is chunky which is what we want to see.
Anyway, heres a few sneaky shots I took this morning of TotallyCoastal Sea Shanty.

Update on Big Mac, Supersize me!

I had it in mind that I would name my very first kitten Totallycoastal Driftwood (AKA Drifter).  But this chap came along and because he is so big... he has to be named Big Mac Supersize me! Shenona's first born kitten and was the one and only, and absolutely massize at 6.8oz. At 1 week he is weighing 8oz (that's half a pound). Anyway I wanted to share the latest photos for you all enjoy.

Snuggling with my mummy..

Look Mum I'm Sitting up!

We Absolutely love this kittens colour, markings and tail!

The Starlets

The first glimpse of Starlights babies, the 4 Starlets were born on Thursday 18th February.
