Lisa is doing very well and rules the house! We all have lots of fun  and our daughter Larissa doesn't seem to have any serious allergy problems.
I have attached 2 fairly new photos so that you can see howshe's been growing. 

Our daughter used to have fairly strong allergic reactions to cats and its quite amazing how well she is doing with Lisa.
After visiting her friends house and playing with her cat for 5min this summer one of her eyes had been completely swollen.

So we are really happy how this is working out so far.
We try telling her not to put her face in the fur but without much success, and there are still basically no allergic reactions except an itchy eye sometimes but whose eyes aren't getting itchy if you stuck your face in the fur?

Take care
Petra

Thank you so much for the wonderful little puggle puppy. We love her! She is getting used to her surroundings. She was great and slept all night in her bed next to mine. Here are a few pics of her and her new family.

God Bless,

My daughter has had severe eczema since she was only two months old. We had to get rid of all our cats when she was two years old as we found out she was allergic (also allergic to wheat, eggs, milk, and dogs). As she grew older, she did outgrow the food allergies, but she never got over the allergies to cats and dogs. She still gets hives when she is around dogs, and her eczema flares around regular cats.

However, my daughter loves animals so much, that we finally relented and decided to try a Russian Siberian (after much research). As a Nurse Practitioner, I have a great understanding of allergies, and I was praying these cats would truly be “hypoallergenic.” So when she was ten years old, we got two kittens from Larry. I honestly thought we would just give them a try, and we’d likely be returning them in a few weeks.

Now it is a year later, and not only is my daughter still allergy free, but we have returned to get another kitten! Our two original kitties, Anastasia and Katarina, are wonderful, and have caused no allergic reaction in our daughter. We have been so happy, and we are really enjoying watching the new kitten, Boris, play and grow. While I can’t say whether these cats will cause allergies in other people, I can say with certainty that they have caused no problems in my daughter. It has been so much fun to have them, they are a truly special breed, and we feel so blessed that our daughter now has pets of her own!

Hello Larry!
I thought I would update you on my baby! He has a different name...his name is now Soprano. Cute huh?!?
Let me just tell you, he is the sweetest thing, but you knew that. When I first brought him home, he would wake me up with kisses in the mornings.
He would sleep in my bed at my feet all the time. But then my kids came home and it was like he didn't know me at all!!! I was so hurt...my daughter took over.
She is such a pet lover and pets flock to her. He took to her and of course she to him. He didn't even know about the second floor until they came home.
But she showed him her room and he started climbing up and down the stairs. I was so scared he would fall b/c he was still little. He is a little explorer!
He gets into everything I will tell you that! My mom has been staying with us too and she isn't much of a pet lover but she loves him, until he gets into her stuff...lol.

He is the king of this house for sure! Even my husband loves on him. He does scare me though. He likes to sleep on the second floor up on the area where the banister meets the lookout.
It is so high! There is nothing below him but tile and it is at least 10-12 feet high. My dad says it's b/c he is a cat and that is his nature. He likes height like tigers like trees.
Well my worst fear came true today. I don't know why but he jumped off the ledge!!!
My husband was standing in the hall under the ledge and I guess he was trying to play with him so he jumped at my husband.
But my husband's back was to him so he didn't see him. He just felt him land on his arm and then he jumped onto the floor.
I was horrified!!! I checked him out and he seemed ok but I took out my stethoscope and listened to his heart and lungs anyway. I am way overprotective.
Is this normal for cats???  Do they like to jump like that???

Oh yea, I forgot to tell you, he likes to beg for food like a dog! of course we don't feed him ppl food, but he tries..I thought that was so strange. But all in all we all love him.
He is so much a part of our family! Even my dad lets him sleep on his lap, and that is not like him!
Soprano is such a good kitty. He is so funny and lovable. Especially in the mornings. But when he doesn't want your attention, he just doesn't want it!
Thank you so much for saving him for me. He has made our lives so happy and bright!
As soon as I get him neutered I will contact you again!
I just wanted to give you an update...sorry it's been a while and I had so much to tell you!

Thanks again,
Veronica Montalvo

We got little Missy on Tuesday night. She is absolutely adorable!
We are in love! She is beautiful. Her personality is incredible.
She immediately warmed up to our family and has been inseparable ever since.
She is perfect for us and we couldn't be happier. Thank you so much for everything.

Hi Larry,

Also, I've attached some photos of Bamse that I thought you might like to see :)
He's gotten bigger and he still has quite a ways to go before he catches up to the size of his paws.
I can't imagine being any happier with a cat than we are with him!
Thanks so much,
Sarah  (7/08)

Hi Larry,

Just wanted to let you know that the joey is doing great. We named him Tucker, and he is such a sweetheart! He follows me everywhere around the house, and is always waiting by my bed first thing in the morning. He loves to jump on the couch and sit in my lap to watch t.v. He's very calm and laid back, and gets along with everyone. He rides with us in the car everywhere we go. Thanks so much for our new family member!

Hello Larry:
It is coming up on Xena's third birthday (late July). I took some pictures of her over the weekend and thought I would send you the link in case you wanted to see her at this point.
She is truly a wonderful cat, full of personality, and her beauty and personality capture the hearts of all who see her.

Larry,

We all have fallen completely in love with him, and I think that you are right, I think that he will be magnificent too.

I can see how you grew attached to him, because I can't imagine life without him now that he is here in our home.

Don't worry, he is definitely missing you. He is wandering our bedroom and calling out to you from under the bed, and the kids are quivering with excitement.

I don't know if they are going to sleep tonight! I don't think I will....I am so happy he is here! I am going to pick up some front line in the morning since that is what you suggested, and I will keep you in the loop with how everything goes with him.

We are going to try to get transfer ed out of California in the next year, and hopefully we will go back to the east coast, but I told Sean that I want another kitten from you when we have a larger house, and after meeting Czar, he totally agrees, so please keep us in mind next year with your litters.


Thank you again, we are so blessed to have you and Czar in our lives.

You have truly made our family complete!

Jonathan and I are so happy with Rieger. What a welcomed addition to the family! We have lots of fun with Rieger, and he follows us from room to room. He is so big now! He's not exactly a lap cat but he always sits just a few feet from us... we've got ourselves an independent kitty. He is sweet and when I say, "Kiss da mama" or "kiss da dada", he leans in for a kiss. Sweetie! Rieger turned one on May 1st, and he is big and happy and healthy. We thank you so much for all that you did this time last year to make sure we got the kitty of our dreams. And no allergies for either of us. It is amazing! I've attached a photo so you can see him.

Greetings Larry
I wanted to send you some new pictures of Singe. He is growing so fast.
This little cat is such a character. He has made such an impact on our lives. I dearly love him.

He has now won Richard over. Singe will run to Richard the minute he sits down on the couch. Singe will push Tempest off Ricard's lap and take his place center stage.
I have ordered a cat tower for Singe. Soon I want to get another kitten from you.

Don't know if you could tell, but Singe is losing his fuzzy hair. He will never have the lovely peach fuzz and smooth skin of Du, but his personality is wonderful. They are both so differen in behavior. I can not imagine my life without them.
Thank you so much

Good morning, all;
Update on our cat: Count Markoff (aka ringo) loves his life with us in Beaumont.
He is quite agile and healthy. His eye still waters, but he can see from both eyes.
He is so affectionate that he will sit on Jim and watch me. He brings us great joy and we are quite delighted with his progress. Thank you one and all for our precious Count.
Hope to see your farm one day, maybe the next time a hurricane whips up on us.
Please, God forbid.

Irene H. Chesnutt
P.S. Enjoy your web site, too.

Mr. Larry,

I am sending you a couple pictures of Penelope that I took last week...he is such the sweetheart...I thought that the move into the new house would freak him out but he was fine with it...
He has a ton of new places to lounge and explore...his favorite is the window sill in my bedroom...sometimes but not very often he will climb into bed with us...he loves to be in the office when I am on the computer, he sits on my lap...
Right now I think he is close to 10 lbs...when I have him shaved again I will have them weigh him...
We have had friends over a lot since we moved in and he is adjusting very well to constant chaos...I was holding a friend's baby last week and he jumped on the sofa and was very interested in her...he must have been worried we were going to keep her...
Hope all is going well for you...I will send more pictures as soon as we take some...
Please keep in touch...
Oh, you can see how big he is by the picture of him laying in front of the dishwasher door...he was sitting on it but must be camera shy, he moved when I tried to take his picture...
Thanks so much for a sweet boy...
Michelle

Mr. Larry,

He has started sleeping with us every night...it took, some time but he finally came around 100%...
Hope that your holidays were good...Have a Happy New Year...
Keep in touch,

Hi Larry,

We're back in Houston. The kitten didn't make a "peep" the whole way back. He loved the car ride and I played classical music. He must have loved it. He has been a non-stop purring machine since we've arrived. My daughter has decided to name him,"Dimitri" for his Russian Siberian ancestors. He comes up to us and just roles over and wants to be belly scratched. He is an unusal kitten. Thank you so much for him!
We love him!

Hi Larry.
I just sent in the payment for the kitten. We have decided to name him Semper Fidelis
(Mike is a former Marine.)
He is so cute and purrs louder than I can recall hearing a purr!
Talk about a lap cat--he loves to lounge and sleep.
He is still not too sure of us and his new surroundings, but I am sure he will eventually come around.
He was not at all bothered by the curious dogs (let me restate, they were "bothering" him a lot, but he did not seem to care.)

He got the one, twice, and hundreth-over last night. I did not know a dog could sniff the same thing for so long and so many times--it is still the same thing you just sniffed!!!
I am sending a picture of his new "room."
For now we are kind of keeping him in there when we are not able to watch him since we want to make sure he knows where his box is. (I can't see that he has used it yet, but that could be because I was in such a rush last night to make my purchases before Petsmart closed that I got a gigantic-sized litter box.
He could really dig to China in this thing!! I am keeping the cover off for now so he won't mistake it for a little cave to hide in.)
I will have him on Caster.com within the next few days if you want to go check him out.
You can view his new "sisters" on Dogster.com at http://www.dogster.com/dogs/166900.
This is Kiya's page, but there are links to Dakota (Meet My Family section).
These are fun sites and have really good message boards and groups.

Larry,

I have to tell you that I feel very good about Boris and his energy and playfulness.  Hopefully he will keep his attitude and liven up our house for many, many years to come.  It was very difficult losing Cosmo just be before his 9th birthday. Every vet that I have  had contact with could not believe that he lived almost 5 years with CRF. His vet told me  after his final moments that she didn't give him more than a few weeks after he was  originally diagnosed. Needless to say he was a very special cat. Boris will never be  Cosmo, but with a little wild man in him, he will give us a wonderful new chapter in our  lives. Thank you again for picking him out for me. Sincerely - Mark

The first photos were on Halloween.

Can you see how much she appreciated her costume?

The others were taken today.ivy2
She weighs around 12 ½ pounds, and is queen of the castle!
Hope you have a great holiday.

Hey Uncle, L.
You don't know how much we love Chloe, she is exactly what we have been wanting. She has such a funny personality. She still is a scared y cat but when you go sit on the commode, where she has her litter box etc... she forgets she is supposed to be pretending to be scared of us and just loves us to death. She loves to act scared and hall ass from us in most parts of the house then peeks around the corner and with a little coxing jumps up on the couch to be held and loved on. She even sleeps with us. Which was not what I intended but I don't mind it at all. I got huge brownie points to say the least.

Thank you for her. Talk to you soon S2
