The Kentucky Derby litter

The Kentucky Derby winners

Our fifth litter are named after winners of the Kentucky Derby, due to a shared interest in horses with my friend that had the finnish father living with her.

Athea gave birth to 6 fine and healthy kittens on the 5th of July.The kittens are after GIC Saurto's Athea and Kassilan Seudun Shemeikka. They are the third and last litter after Athea.

Eife's Whirlaway

Quite at little "bulldozer", that still melts in our hands when petting him. He's nicknamed Willy, as Whirlaway easily could be slurred to something in that area.

Willy, 4½ weeks

Eife's Silver Charm

A typical playful and charming little boy, that has the nickname SimSim.

SimSim, 4½ weeks

Eife's Wintergreen

A gentle and loving little boy. He was named Wiggo unanimously by a bunch of friends visiting the day after I'd named the kittens.

Wiggo, 4½ weeks

Eife's California Chrome

A sweet and very cuddly little boy, that just become mush in ones hands is names for both his colour and because his nick name then could be Krumme (meaning Crumb).

Krumme, 4½ weeks

Eife's Flying Ebony

She is one of the kittens where the name was just obvious, as she's an active and intelligent little lady with a lot of curiosity. Her nickname Fey is based on a combination of the first letters and last letter from her name.

Fey, 4½ weeks

Eife's Go for Gin

She's such a sweetheart, and had to keep her at home. She's called Ginny.

Ginny, 12 weeks
