fenlandsnapper says: The Three Musketeers were astonishing kittens. They were born at the home of my friend Elkhead, who is a registered breeder of Burmese kittens in Cambridge, England. You've already met two of Elkhead's previous litters, the Pride and Prejudice litter and the Shakespeare litter. These three beauties had a rough start to life as the only survivors of a difficult pregnancy. They were born prematurely and were very small. Tragically, their mother, Silvie, passed away a few days after they were born due to complications from the birth. I know Elkhead and his wife still miss her enormously. Fortunately the kittens were raised beautifully by their grandmother Bronwen, their great-grandmother, and the lady of the house. After such a poor start, they turned into stunning kittens.

Porthos has a slightly crossed eye. Elkhead says he's the most laid back and affectionate of the three, and has become a charismatic and intelligent cat who charms everyone he meets. Aramisa (or Misa) is less outgoing apparently, but according to Elkhead she's the most mischievous of them all. Porthos and Misa went to the same owners who seem to be besotted by them. Athos is the most lively and assertive of the three. He went to a home full of pets including a Siamese cat.

They are beauties. One of our cats is called Bronwen (which means white breast in Welsh) as she is black and white with a white breast. Her brother is called Dyfi (dark in Welsh)and they have two younger brothers who are litter mates and called Owain and Glyndwr (Owain Glyndwr was the last TRUE Prince of Wales).

They are all beautiful! It is very sad their mommy, Silvie, didn't survive after complications giving birth.
Thankfully, the kittens had their grandmother, great-grandmother and their human who raised them very well.

The death of Sylvie is a consequence of breeding her. I believe there are many such cases (unreported) in a breeder's career, and much as I love her babies, I find this sickening.

Yes they are all beautiful and I wish them happy, healthy lives as pets. Silvie was a beautiful cat and had 3 litters we know of. This is why I don't like breeders. They say they mourn the loss of Silvie but they knew the risks from the beginning. I mourn Silvie. She didn't have to die.

Bless you, Silvie. May you rest in peace knowing you did a wonderful job. Your beautiful babies were able to live on in your memory and look to be healthy, safe, and in the arms of some loving guardians.
