I hope that Lyra is a chirruper rather than a screecher.
I know what you mean re the confusion. It's like she doesn't know what to do with herself and is being very funny treating me like another kitten - running at me flank first with her tail fluffed up like a bottle brush. She wants to play all the time atm.
Her future beau is a stud from the breeder that let us have Lyra. He is really nice. He has silver genes and so we should get a mix of browns and silvers from Lyra by him.
He is called Stonehenge Neolithic Warlord (or Neo - like mr Keanu Reeves
)
He is very sweet natured and has a low, wild tail carriage. Lyra, though tarnished, has a very wild face and though I think it will be a few generations before we have show quality kittens, I believe that we will have excellent pet quality kittens with very nice natures and an appealingly exotic wild look.
I hope that at least on of Lyra's baby girls will be a keeper for further breeding as it would be brilliant to get that amazing monochrome silver without losing the spots definition or the wild face - apparently quite hard to do. Whatever, really all we can ask for is happy, robust little kittens . . . and suitable homes for them . . .
