Filming
The 7th of May is a day I will never forget.
TV1 has come to film the kittens which will be broadcasted later this year.
He has also told me that I will get a copy on dvd of what will come on tv.
He has filmed animals often but he found the Pixie Bob to be great.
He has never seen cats like these so affectionate, especially Mike with his heavy built body and huge feet (6 toes) and still super sweet and calm. He found it to be great.
Macgyver was also great. He has the red glow of the American Lynx or Bobcat with many beautiful spots.
It was ment to film the kittens but usually when you start filming cats after 5 or 10 minutes they start being stubborn which is typical for a cat.
But my kittens behaved like little doggies.
Even when I tried to leave to get some food or drinks the cameraman had to run because they just went after me.
And he thought when he put them on their place in the grass they would stay.
He was wrong. He barely whas back on his place behind the camera or 2 of them started climbing on his sleeves. They were also were interested in the camera. At least they had images from 1 kitten which ran to him.
They really loved the cameraman.
I am very grateful to Nicoline for sending this cameraman.
He clearly had a heart for animals.
All three of them have the sweet personality of their father.
He also left his mark on this nest with Meneto from Oklahoma: 2 poly and 2 straight foot but all four of them are shaggy.
But the strange thing is they all have a different tail length.
Kittens Mona
Filming Meneto and her kittens was not a problem. They were laying on a blanket and were only 8 days old. We were able to distract Meneto with a can of tuna as well as the grandmother who is helping her. But that same nicht we didn't sleep very much: what we were afraid for did happen. During the night she started to move the kittens underneath our bed where they started screaming. Of course everyone was awake. I tell you when you have to take the bed apart at half past three at nicht to get the kittens from underneath you look like a zombie in the morning. The next night we closed the cage just to be safe. Luckily everything is quiet now and the bench can stay open again.
