New plans...

Well, I guess most of you know how difficult it can be to hold a fertile male in the house... Jeppson is starting to show the others he is growing up and has sprayed a few times this week. Two of the older girls is trying to keep him under control, so the situation is far from perfect. Sweet Jeppson has never been in a cat run and loves to cuddle in our laps, so we cannot see him separated from our family, living outdoors. A big difference from Nicky who loves it outdoors and dislikes being indoors for more than a few moments.

Sweet Jeppson is a true lapcat, loves to cuddle and bites our fingers if we take a break stroking his soft coat. We are very pleased with his development and we are confident he will make stunning babies. He is bit long and thin all over but has a nice length and height for his age.

So, the most reasonable solution at the moment seems to be to let him meet Älvis and Nessie as soon as possible and thereafter let him be an unbearably cuddly neuter :) We will see how fast they start calling and if he knows what to do. If the situation changes, we will of course keep him fertile for a while longer!

As we think he has lovely qualities, we might consider letting a one or two females from another cattery visit as well.
