BIG NEWS:
Danny will be a grandfather again (seen stretching here). Danny has siblings, who are living with the Sultan of Brunei. Dan's daughter Ulla and her mate Levis are expecting (we think for the last time) around the 30th August 2010. This time Lili went to visit Levis as well - However, Lili has gone to live with Noah in Geneve Switzerland. It will also be Lili's last litter. Lili's delivery should be a week after Ulla. Many lovely kittens we hope. Based on last year's return, we estimate 3/4 Balinese - lots of lilac and blue. Be sure to check back "Available Kittens". We'll post births - videos too - as soon as they arrive.


Our Beginnings ~ History
The name Island Blues comes from our deep connection with several special islands around the globe. We do not consider ourselves "breeders", just a small family who share our lives with a small family of cats. We have had Siamese since I was 8 yrs old (a very long time ago) and have had litters now and then.

This is Fiona with her first 2 kittens Lili and Luna - their sister Lamb went to live with Charlie and Jen in Brooklyn. Fiona, Lili and Bear are the moms of all kittens we have had at Island Blues.

Today we have just 2 beautiful moms still breeding occasionally:

Lili, one of our blue point Siamese girls above, has gone to live with Noah (again) only this time in Switzerland. She is expecting early September - her last litter. Her daughter Ulla (was Oolah), a stunning lilac Balinese,

came to the UK with Lili and us in 2007. Ulla is also expecting (here in Scotland) around 30 August. And last we have Mia. Ulla and Levis' daughter, who is just over one year and has not yet been bred. But we surely will when the time is right. Mia is my dear sweet friend, my everything. I had no business keeping her -- no itention of breeding more and no male to breed her with. But she crept into my heart and wouldn't let go.

Mia is everyone's favorite - even the old crumudgin Fiona has adopted her. I can't wait till she is a mom. All our girls come from excellent TCA and CFA registered catteries, with a long line of handsome traditional parents. We are committed to raising only healthy traditional Siamese and traditional Balinese. They are (as all Siamese owners claim) very witty and wise, extremely affectionate and keep us continually amused.

This is Mokie - I could write a novel about Mo, who will always have a special place in my heart - forever. Mokie went through a great deal right after birth. But today, he lives near Newton Stewart with friends Emma and John. Mokie rides on the back of a motorcycle and enjoys a cuppa at the Bladnock Inn every day around 3. Most everyone on the Machars knows Mokie.
