Dimitri Ruslanov "Dima"

Nancy -
Last Christmas, I purchased my cat, Dimitri Ruslanov "Dima" from you. He
was part of your July 5, 2007 Ruslan and Dominica litter. I met you at the
airport to pick him up so he would be a surprise for my kids. I cannot
tell you how much I love this little guy. He is CONSTANTLY with me. He
has never meowed, has never hissed, and does not scratch anything. He
purrs constantly and chirps at me when he wants my attention. He is the
most sweet and loving little guy. He is so hearty and not at all jumpy the
way most cats are. Plus, he is so funny and playful. Unfortunately, his
favorite play time is around 3:00 AM when he jumps around our bed and
pesters the heck out of me to play fetch with him with these fluffly little
balls he loves. He is relentless!! Honestly though, I am a dog person and
never thought I could become so attached to a cat. Further, I never
thought in a million years that I would take this cat over a dog any day.
He is the perfect pet in every way. My kids and husband agree!!

Hi Nancy,
Alex and Nicky are great! We are so happy with them. They both are very affectionate and smart. They are so aware of you and want to be with you. I can't say enough good things about them and how much we love them. They also are very close to each other. They love to play together and cuddle together, which leads to them washing each other, which then leads to play time lol. It is so cute watching them together. When I come home, they run and meet me. It's funny, one will run over to the scratching post as if to say "look at me. See what a good boy I am." So then the other one goes over and does it too. Alex loves to play fetch. And I never had to teach him, it is just amazing.
I have 5 other cats, but something about this breed is special. They are always in a good mood and happy to see you and they never fail to put a smile on your face.
I've attached a couple of pics as I know you were interested in seeing how Alex turned out.
Thanks for raising such wonderful kittens and bringing them into our lives.
Take care,Gail

Hello Nancy,
I am the guy who picked up Zoe, kids named her, at the airport around
December 23, 2007. What a cat. She has quickly become the favorite pet
of the house. We love the sounds she makes (really loud purring and
chirping) and the fact that she always wants to be around people. My kids and even
the dog loves her. She really has an unbelievable personality. The best
thing is that my allergies are fine. She fetches and we never trained her
to do it. I really can't say enough about what an important addition she
has made to our family. She has grown a lot and when people see her they
always comment on her beauty. But as I said before, her personality is
what really makes her special. Thanks again for meeting me at the airport.
This link is of some goofy video I took of her today.

I may call you one of these days to maybe purchase another cat.

| Just wanted to let you know how LEO is getting along. HE IS JUST GREAT, THE LOVE OF OUR LIVES, It is amazing after having a welsh corgi for over 15 years, and a anti-cat husband, how quick Leo is my husbands buddy. I will come home from work and he is holding him up over his shoulder like a baby and patting him. He follows me around the house, like a dog and I call him "catdog" occasionally. My husband recently had a difficult surgery and spent 20 days in a rehab.facility and everyday asked about Leo and for me to "kiss him" for me. His therapist, got to see Leo, when I picked my husband up, and Leo , was a true King, he left the girls hold him, cuddle etc.,and purred very loudly.
All my family said that if anything would happen to me they would be very happy to take Leo to live with them, strange none of them ask for any of my other possessions, just Leo.
We have been very happy with Leo, his gentleness, his loving personality and of course it's a bonus that I am not having to run the vacuum all the time. Well, I could go on and on, but I won't , again Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year to you all, Cindy & George |

Hi Nancy,
I have Alina, an all black female born on 12-23-06. I used to have Eva also. I hope she is doing well. I wanted to send you some pictures of Alina getting in the shower. She is too funny. She gets in the shower with me every morning. I have to towel dry her off when we get out. She has beautiful golden brown colored eyes. Love her.

Hi Nancy!
Just wanted to give you a quick update on Boris and forward some pictures. He is doing sooooo well. I have never ever met a cat like him before....He is an absolute hoot. He loves his toys and is constantly sharpening his "killing" and hunting skills. He waits until my poor dog is asleep then jumps on her head. It's crazy...my little 7 lb kitten is completely unafraid of my 106 lb German Shepard..Actually they are great friends, Boris has been excellent for the dog.
I have to laugh, his lack of grace is really funny...he sounds like an elephant walking through the house:) He will fling his body every which way and lands with a giant thud...and is never hurt...he's fearless. Another strange thing, he sleeps on the floor...on his back....I've never seen anything like it....and he loves his belly to be rubbed...he is more like a dog. It is also interesting how LOUD his purr is and how teeny tiny his vocalization is. He is still sleeping through the night...I turn the light off and he goes straight to sleep. He's a great eater....He's awesome:)
Fingers crossed...still no allergy problems with my brother. No shedding...no fur all over my black clothes...Yes...I'm in love....You told me they were different. I would never have believed it.
I just scheduled his neutering, October 25th and I will send the paperwork soon afterward.
I love the picture of Boris in the Bowl. The bowl is on my dining room table and he is NOT allowed on this table...so...he jumps in the bowl and thinks he is invisible:)
It's not a great picture of Boris and Roma - But it gives you a good idea of the size difference, how unafraid Boris is and how happy Roma is.
thanks.

Nancy-
I cannot tell you how happy we are with Boris...He is so precious.
My brother did the allergy test and NOTHING! We were only hoping for a
reduced allergic reaction. I will let you know how this progresses as
time goes on.
The vet said he is in fantastic health and we will neuter him in
mid-October when he is closer to 6 months. Last Saturday he was
2lbs.9oz.
He is SMART...a real problem solver....he was trying to get up on a
high window table and he circled the table....jumped on some
books....then...went to his scratching post...climbed up..balanced like
an elephant...and jumped to the table. It was unreal:)
He is sleeping through the night...a miracle...a big purr monster....I
am in LOVE!!!!

Thank you for such a delightful kitten. My daughter Bella just loves her to death! She's so sweet. She gets up with us when we get up every morning. She rubs around our feet and asks to be fed. I forgot to ask you what your feeding schedule was but I just leave some in her bowl and let her eat at her leisure. I told my fellow co-worker about her and he's hooked on her breed. I gave him your information he may be calling you.
We just are so very happy with her. She is my daughter's best little friend. They sleep together every evening. Thank you again for raising up such a wonderful little kitten for us to bring into our family! You obviously enjoy what you do and it shows in your kittens.
Thank you again,
Terri proud owner of Katya! |

Hi Nancy-
I'll try to remember to send you one of the photos tonight - they're on my home computer.
I've been meaning to write you but am usually snuggled next to or am playing with Pasha when home and not sending emails). :)
We are absolutely IN LOVE with the kitten we got from you in February. We've named him Pasha (our little Siberian prince). I've had cats all my life and I've never had a cat that is more sweet, cuddly, curious, and just plain adorable!! He is so handsome and you're right - he really doesn't shed! My black clothes are now black again (and not covered in cat hair as they were with my other cat!).
He keeps us in hysterics as he never seems to tire of playing with toys (he loves to hunt toys with feathers) and his the most amazing acrobat I've ever seen - he leaps and flies through the air (higher than I've ever seen a cat leap before) to catch his toys and leaves us staring eyes wide open and jaws on the ground!! His love of water has driven him to join whoever is in the shower any time the faucet is turned on - he also likes to go in and walk around whenever we get out, so it's not uncommon to find little wet paw prints around!
I was shocked how quickly he warmed to us and became such an integral part of our lives. He follows us around from room-to-room and curls up with us everywhere.... truly the sweetest little cat I've ever known!!
We are considering getting another one of your kittens to keep Pasha company as your cats are so amazing, gentle, and kind.
Thank you again for the opportunity to add such a special new member to our family.
Best,
Lauren

Hi Nancy –
I just wanted to drop you a short note and let you know how Nikolay was doing. He is doing GREAT!! He is the sweetest, most affectionate kitty I have ever seen. He and Cooper, our golden retriever are bonding more and more each day.
We have re-named Nikolay “Felix Nikolay” and it seems to suit him perfectly. He doesn’t answer to his name yet but we are working on it. The Felix has sentimental value to us and we were thrilled it was one of the Russian names on the list.
The cutest thing happened this morning. Cooper was laying on the floor on his belly chewing a bone and Felix was “stalking” around him…watching him real closely. The next thing I know, Felix jumped up on Cooper’s back and sat down…then laid down. Cooper stopped chewing his bone, turned his head around to see what was going on…looked at Felix and you could see in his thoughts on his face “that’s cool” and he went back to chewing his bone. Felix only stayed there a moment or two but it was one of those times I wish I had my camera right there. I think I’ll have to bring it down and have it handy for just such “Kodak moments”.
As soon as we have some pictures, I will e-mail them to you.
Thank you again for the wonderful experience of purchasing our very first kitty in our 33 years of marriage. You have a wonderful home and it is so obvious your pets are all loved.

Hi Nancy,
Erik is doing great and I thought I would let you know that if you need any type of testimony on the siberian breed and the hypoallergenic part, I would be more than happy to do it.
My daughter Danyela (10 yrs) is allergic to cats with a rating of 3/4 and her mucus development of 4/4 and she also has asthma (she almost died twice at age 3 and 4). She was able to to around cats, but was never able to pet them or hug them. If she were to touch them or be in contact with their hair, she would get hives and have an asthma attack.....This was so upsetting to her due to the fact that she loves...I mean loves cats. When Erik arrived she cuddled him, petted him and hugged him everyday. And guess what....no reaction....both Danyela and Erik are in heaven with each other and Danyela says that this is a miracle. I am so happy that she can now give all that love to Erik and he loves it.
Anyways, if you would like me to write a testimony up or you want to use the above that would be fine with me. Also, if I could take more cats I would. I love Erik and feel that I want more of them....
Ps I got the papers in the mail yesterday. Thank you
Take care,
Nicole | | |
