Congratulations!
We would like to congratulate our lovely vet Sarah on the birth of her baby son Oliver Paul on 27th. July.

Although Oliver was three weeks early he weighed a very healthy 8Lb. 4ozs.

His dad Paul, also a vet from Simply Cats and Simply Horses, seemed very pleased with their new arrival, if a bit shell shocked from his son's early arrival.

We wish the new family all our best wishes. wub

Mia's Little Miracle
Our lovely Mia gave birth this morning to three little kitten's. Unfortunately one was still born ( a sweet little girl) and another died shortly after, poor little darling was extremely small and very weak, we kept him warm and tried to feed him but no luck.

Mia was very aggitated and upset so I did my best to settle her down with the one remaining kitten, who I am pleased to report is doing well and feeding normally.

Mia is now sleeping peacefully with her sweet little kitten, as Mia was so upset I didn't want to bother her so I don't know the kitten's sex yet but I will keep everyone updated on his/her progress.



We have a feeling this one is going to be a special kitten, a real little miracle.

Congratulation's Big Red your a Dad! biggrin

Prince Nazeem Maclaw
We have received some lovely pictures of Prince Nazeem Maclaw, his special pet name is Kitten.

Kitten was one of Mia's kitten's from last August.

His mum Sonia thought we would like to see just how grown up and beautiful he is, thank you so much Sonia.

Kitten was always so full of fun and a real little handful, Sonia tells us he hasn't changed, he is still full of fun and mischief and loves to help with chores like cleaning out the cupboards!!

Wow! he turned out to be such a handsome boy and he looks so happy and settled with Sonia and her lovely family.

Tiger Lily's and Sukira's Kittens
The six kittens Lily had are all doing well and are one week old tomorrow. I have checked them all and we have five stunning boys and one very beautiful little girl.

That means with Sukira's three gorgeous boys and one fabulous little girl. We are a bit short on girls!!
But we don't mind as our boys are all so gorgeous.

We also have Mia in with Big Red at the moment so hopefully we will get some hot orange stunners from their pairing.

Mia has been a bit of a worry as she is an extremely forceful female and has always bullied Duncan, we therefore decided Red was the boy for her and they really seem to like each other.

That's all for now.

We will keep everyone posted on the babies progress. biggrin

The Babies Have Arrived, Suki Update and Camo Duncan
We are pleased to announce that Lily gave birth to 6 beautiful healthy kittens today, we will be keeping a close eye on this litter to try and make sure all goes well.



Lily is very tired, but doing fine and feeding the little ones as we post, we count 5 boys & 1 Girl..

Suki Update

Suki and the 4 kittens are doing very well, all eyes are
open now and they are stretching a lot more.



Camo Duncan

We have been trying for several weeks now to get Duncan comfortable on a harness so he can go for regular walks in the garden, but he hates it and ends up all in a tangle..

We decided to go looking for something that would be more confortable and less restricting and thankfully we found Mynwood Cat Jackets.

Maria makes fantastic quality perfectly sized jackets and we tried Duncan with his today. He wasn’t 100% confident with it at first, but he was much more relaxed and after about 1 hour of having it on he started to wander around.



We might try Red with it soon, but we don’t think he has ever had one on and is still very nervous of us..

Thats all for now..

Not Long for Lily & Suki/Breeding Update
Just an update to say we expect Lily's babies to arrive any day now, she is starting to get very uncomfortable with her large kicking bulge.



Suki Update

Suki and her remaining 4 kittens at doing very well, all 4 are looking very healthy and the eyes of one of the boys has started to open up.



Breeding Update

last Sunday Mia went into heat so we decided it was time for her to go in with Big Red, it was a very successful pairing and both have been getting on ok, Red is still a bit shy, but Mia isn’t and keeps forcing him into spending time with her.

providing all has gone well we hope for more
Kittens from Mia later in the year.

Eventually we plan for Zuri to also go in with Red and Claudia will be going in with Duncan when she is older.

Thats all for now, more updates soon happy

Some Sad News
Unfortunately we lost two of Suki's Kittens today :(

It became apparent very quickly that two of the female Kittens were very small and weak compared to the others and not able to feed properly due to the other little ones nudging them out of the way.

Suki then ejected them from the nest so we had to intervene, despite our best efforts to bottle feed the little ones, they past away this afternoon, they were simply too weak.

We are very sad that their lives ended so soon, but we take
comfort that the remaining 4 kittens are of a good size and doing very well.

Duncan is going to be a Dad!
Maclaw Bengals is very pleased to announce we have two up coming happy events. Our fabulous Stud Boy GB Silverpride Duncan Maclaw is about to be a Dad! Twice!.

Both Lounge Leopard Tiger Lily Maclaw and Lounge Leopard Sukira Maclaw are expecting their first litter of kittens. Both girls are doing well and we will keep you updated, we believe Sukira will give birth first roughly around the 7th May, which coincidently is her first birthday.

Lily we believe is about 2 weeks behind Sukira and should give birth around 18th May. Keep watching for photographs, as soon as our little furballs of joy arrive we’ll let everyone know. Needless to say we are all very excited at this fantastic news and cannot wait for our new arrivals!



Please note if you are on our kitten list, as soon as the kittens are born and we are sure they are all safe and well we will contact you to let you know personally.

New Additions and New Cat House
Well it’s been weeks and weeks since we last updated the site and have lots to announce.

A few weeks ago our friends at Silverpride Bengals contacted us with plans to downsize a little and wanted to find a new home for 2 of their active Bengals. We gave it some thought and decided we would take on the 2 cats and introduce them into our breeding program.

Introducing “Littlestar Pawnee” or Big Red as we are affectionately calling him.

Pawnee is a 4 year old active male from USA and Canadian imports and joins us as our second stud, for whatever reason he is extremely nervous and we expect it will take some months before he is settled and happy with us.



As you can see from his picture, this is his reaction whenever we get near , but he very much appreciates a nice stroke and is very gentle.

We had to work quickly and lay the foundations for a new stud house and are pleased that after 2 weeks we finally got him moved in today, we hope with all the space and fresh air he can get settled soon.

Here are some images of his new mansion, we still have many climbing additions to build into it, but we wanted to get him in right away as we had put him in the girl’s new house and he was spraying heavily making an unpleasant smell.



Introducing “Tatudtiger Serenity” but we like to call her Zuri. Like Red, Zuri is a little nervous but she loves attention and has decided a little nip here and there keeps us on our toes. She is staying in the kitten room at the moment until her quarantine period is up.



We will be moving her into Snowdrop Cottage for the summer and hopefully she and Red will make some beautiful kittens.

Zuri is 2 years old and is a lovely matt brown rosette Bengal, she doesn’t have the glitter gene like all our other girls do but her high contrast coat is still very beautiful and we expect great things from her.

Hidden Tuna Construction Images
Well it’s been a few weeks since we said we would be installing the new outdoor cat house, but finally last weekend a break in the bad weather allowed us to push ahead with laying the foundations and putting it all together.

It’s still a work in progress so we will post more images when it’s fully complete, but for now here are our construction images..

CodeName : Hidden Tuna
In November last year we placed an order for a new outdoor cat house for the girls to use this summer.

To our surprise it was delivered 3 days later but because of the poor weather we have been unable to clear the new area and build it.

Hopefully next weekend (Weather permitting) we will be installing the new house and taking lots of new pictures for the website. We have not yet given the new house a name so for the moment its CodeName : Hidden Tuna.
