Photo Update - Linsey x Rider Four!

These kitties were born 18th June 2013, and are already developing very nicely... Hardly surprising when we have doubled on Nebraska, amalgamated the 2 Salvarda Lines (Ollie and Ed), and thrown in for good measure Shenona's good looks too! 
 
Yep this is the scrumptious four from the EW #1 Best PB Kitten of 2012, Linsey (Totallycoastal HookLineNSinker); and the handsome very strong featured Rider (Totallycoastal Ride The Waves).  I fell in love with all these kittens when they were born, and I've had a real tough time in actually making them available to others, because I wanted to keep them all.  A very consistent look but each with a hint of individuality. 
 
We have 3 boys and 1 girl, and while I really shouldn't be considering keeping boys.. I have decided that one in particular had to continue here at Totallycoastal as a stud boy.. so much so that I have forfeited keeping Boo for this boy...  The remaining three kittens are strong enough and typey enough for breeding programs and/or showing.  They are all excellent Bobtailed, straight-footed, short hairs.
 
Before I show the pictures that I am sure you are eager to see, the names of this litter are Sands... Totallycoastal Coral Sands (Candy), Totallycoastal White Sands (Wyatt), Totallycoastal Golden Sands (Goldie), and finally Totallycoastal Volcanic Sand (Nicky).
 
This set of pictures are of the future stud boy here,
Totallycoastal White Sands (Wyatt).
 
 
 
 
 
 
This set of photos is the delightful girl, Candy.




 

 
Next Up is the naughty and playful boy Nicky.
 





 
 
 
The Giant boy is last... This is of course Golden Sands (AKA Goldie)

Photo Update - Totallycoastal Ride The Waves (aka Rider)

Rider is the only son of Oceana (Totallycoastal Ocean Waves), and was sired by Ollie (Salvarda Mystery Caller).  Oceana was of course the daughter of the fantastic Nebraska and Big Mac.  So this boy was almost a full consolidation of my foundation cats (with one exception, Quintus).

This boy is fast filling out and growing upwards.  He was a pretty small kitten in early life, but he is making up for lost time.  These past 4 weeks he has shot up, and is the same size as an average adult girl.  So it seems that Rider may be a good sized male after all.  This lad is now 6.5 months old, so I expect at least one more growth spurt from him, before his energy is expelled in muscle build only.

At first glance you may think his tail is full length, but he does has a naturally shortened tail (NST) with a kink at its tip.  In fact it's a complete replica of Declans, who we kept as a stud boy here.  Paired to other NST tails this has given us some super tail lengths in his offspring.  We expect that as Rider's brow develops, he will become more of the rounded edge triangular conformation we'd expect as he matures.  As you can see he has a simply amazing coat pattern, colour and the texture is spot on.  Another of his great traits are those whisker pads, gorgeously plump and wide.. making a nice muzzle shape overall.  This boy does sport small ear tips as well.

He is a very loving, but extremely energetic cat.  He is so inquisitive and he never tires of fetch, or chase games. He is staying here as part of Our Breeding Program as we expect those eyes to become perfect over the next 6 months.

Update - Rider's Ready, Steady, Go

Its been a while since I posted any photos of Rider (son of Oceana).  This boy is always up for playing all the time.  He never tires of fetch or batting his favourite toy around the place. 

Despite having a longer tail it has a kink at the tip and is short of foot (i.e. Naturally short).  If you would be interested in Totallycoastal Ride The Waves, please click on our Available Kittens tag and you'll be shown Riders entry.  We are looking for a pet placement in a forever home, for this chap. 

Here are the long overdue pictures of him playing (what else?), with a quick pitstop for a bite to eat before carrying on with bringing me his waggle stick.

Update - Rider's Ready for a ticket to Ride!

After much thought, we have decided to make Rider available.  He is a very comical soul, and loves rough and tumble games with his toys.  He has a really, really strong trademark Pixiebob face, lynx tips, and excellent wooly coat that sports a super balck spotty pattern against a rich red background. 

Despite having a full tail Rider has been a contender as a stud in our program.   He has so much going for him and it was worth considering him for.  This coat will be absolutely perfect to our breed standard once that ticking fully comes through, and becomes muted, along with an excellent muzzle, chin, profile.... the list goes on.

It was a very tough decision to offer Rider but, we have decided to try Oceana to a completely different lined boy, and it makes more sense to keep something from that pairing than this one, than double up on lines I already have.  So for some lucky soul Totallycoastal Ride the Waves, will be available in June.

Update - Toy Choosing Day!

Well Dylana and Neptune will be ready for their new homes in just 4 weeks, so it was time for them both to choose a favourite toy to take with them in their kitten packs, in addition to the complimentary waggle stick.  Rider is staying here, but it doesn't mean he cant join in the fun and pick a little toy too.

It didnt get off to a great start, as the kittens just preferred to tear around and amuse themselves with each other, and not much toy choosing was taking place.  But they soon got bored of tumbling and play fighting and began to take a bit of interest in other stuff around.

Unfortunately Dylana, has chose my Doorstop....Hhhmmm.  While Rider has choosen my artifical Bamboo as his toy (He is simply obsessed with it).  It's just as well he is staying, as it may prove somewhat awkward putting a tree in a kitten pack :oP.

Neptune our superb Hock tailed boy, was really the only one to sucessfully choose a toy today.  He played with several, before making up his mind which he most preferred.

Also remember Dylana is still looking for a loving home. Her face is a nice example of the breed standard, She is very loving and a nice large size for a girl.  Dylanas name means Born From Waves, which we combined to create her full pedigree name.  She sports a 3/4 length tail, straight feet, and a fabulous plush shorthair spotty coat.

Here are the pictures taken of them in action for you to enjoy.
Neptune..absolutely stunning!

Rider...absolutely fluffy ;oP

Dylana...absolutely cute!
