BEIGATTI MAINE COONS

I do not have a "whole" male in my house.  I usually depend on other breeders for stud service, so when Olive came into heat, I called on Mary and asked her if I could use her male "Mr. Jiggs."  He is a beautiful silver male with a classic pattern that looks like it was painted on.  Fortunately Jiggs bred Olive on October 21/22 and if it "takes", we'll have Christmas babies.

The following weekend, Chris and I took a leisurely drive to the foothills of the Adirondacks to retrieve Olive from her tryst.  She was happy to be home.

The next morning, I woke up to the familiar brruup...brrruup...brruup.  Oh no!  Chris stumbled out of bed and announced, "Tasha is in heat."  I called Mary and shyly asked if I could drive up with Tasha.  She laughed, made a joke about Jiggy's "prowess" and said to come on up with Tasha.

This drive was tedious, as I was driving though a rainstorm with a carsick cat.  I got to Mary's, said my goodbyes and headed home.  Tasha was practically standing on her head when she saw Jiggy.

It has been four days now and Jiggy has no interest in Tasha.  What?  Since when are cats fussy??  Jiggy has decided on a platonic relationship with Tasha.  This is not what I planned. 

Stay tuned...
