Kattungarna har fått sina namn / the kitten have got their names

Last weekend, when the kittens were three weeks, Bibi´s and Maggie´s kittens got their pedigree names. We thank you all for very good suggestions, we have been inspired! The love meeting took place in Helsinki so we call the litter "Finlandia litter". The father and many relatives on "the father-side," are also Finland born Russian Blues. We have further given them old Scandinavian and Finnish names

Freyr, Finnur, Fanni, Friida and Freya

Early this morning between 04.30-6 Bibi gave birth to five Russian Blue kittens. Their weights were between 94-110 g and there are both females and males. Bibi did a great job and is now feeding the kittens. For sure, father "Magnus" also did a great job when the two met in Helsinki.

Bibi väntar kattungar / Bibi is expecting kittens

In the beginning of August Patrik went to Helsinki with our Bibi (from
our B-litter) to let her meet "Magnus", Hana-Bi Bieggagállis Sámi.
We were lucky since they fell in love and now Bibi is
expecting their kittens. She got a big belly and we
feel small movements from there.

Bibi. Her parents are S*Barynia's Wilma and DE*Nikolaj vom ZarenSilber

This is Magnus also called "Maggie", the father of
our coming litter. He was born 17 Jan 2014.
"Maggie" is a strong, masculine and well muscled
Russian Blue male bred in the Hana-Bi Cattery
in Helsinki, Finland (FIFe). His pedigree name is
CH Hana-Bi Bieggagállis Sámi.  We are very happy that
we could choose Magnus as father of our
coming F-litter. Thank you Marianna, Harri and 
Michael! Photo Marianna Ripatti
