Announcement - Sea Shanty, naming day for 5!

We've got our five names related to Sea Shanties or Nautical theme songs, and they cover a spectrum of musical genres too.

The 2 girls will be (Heidi) Totallycoastal Tide Is High, from the wonderful Katrina and the Waves; and (Briney) Totallycoastal Beautiful Briny, from Bedknobs and Broomsticks a classic family movie.

The 3 boys will be (Bo) Totallycoastal DontRockMyBoat, from the excellent reggae god Bob Marley; (Sailor) Totallycoastal Drunken Sailor, a traditional sea shanty of old; and finally (Finn) Totallycoastal Surfin USA, a big hit for the Beachboys.

I think we've excelled ourselves on all levels here, with this litter naming.  Pictures of Shanty's quintuplets will be posted soon, that's a promise!  What I can tell you is they are very spotty and rufus tones in the face like their mum, and very leggy and a similar Latte coat colour to their daddy.

My photoshoot yesterday took a long time, and in fact I still didn't get pictures of all the cats and kittens I intended to shoot, including Captain and Declans 2 sisters, Shanty and Nebraska.  I do feel I got the most important long overdue ones done and made a start on the kitten updates. A very busy time here at the moment for us, but the ones missed yesterday will be included in the next shoot.

So I hope for now, the photos of Van The Man, who sired this litter will keep you amused until the next time.
