Update Oct 17th.
All kittens have been reserved. Mustofa, Magdalina and Medvedko are in their new homes. Maksim flies to Burbank on Saturday. This blog will be moved to the Previous Kittens tab soon.
Update Oct 8th, 2016. Ten and a half weeks old.
Medvedko (Male with dark feet)
This very active boy has unusually pale blue-grey eyes and a zest for living. He is such a fun-loving wand chaser that he 'hogged' all of the video time and asserted himself into the center of each video. I had to put him in another room to let the other kittens play. Medvedko would be great in a busy home with kids and or other pets. He will not do well alone all day. I think all of the kittens will have a very active phase from 5-8 months as is typical of the breed however Medvedko remains 'extra energetic' consistently. He is quick to purr and very sweet. He likes to cuddle too. He is the whole package if you like to play! He is wearing a purple collar in these videos.

Magdalina (Female with white feet)
This is "Miss friendly" and has been reserved by a family on the reservation list. Magdalina is pretty, docile, loves engaging with you and will also initiate contact which is normal for Siberians.. but she is ahead of the game for her age. I love her outgoing nature and her balanced personality. She will want to be loved and be right there with you while you do your daily tasks. Here she is great company for me while I type on the laptop and if she is not in my lap, she is curled next to me with her paw touching. Magdalina will mature at about 11 pounds and be a real stunner with her white paws.
Mustofa (aka Mufie, Mufosa)(Male with dark feet)
Mustofa,( Mufosa, Mufie) ... what a cutie pie. This boy is a sweet, middle of the road guy, diplomatic, relaxed, and playful. He has very pretty blue eyes. Mustofa is your typical middle child. He loves being part of the group and has a nice bond with his siblings. This bond will transfer to his new family . He is extremely excited about seeing and hearing the birds outside the window. In fact, he is the only one who is aware enough of his surroundings to even notice that there is a world outside. He loves sitting in the window sill and watching cars and pedestrians walk down the road. I think this is going to be a very beautiful cat with the ability to entertain himself as well as have a great relationship with his human family. Nice all around personality.
Maksim (male with white feet)
Daydreamer. Maksim is a sweet guy living in his own world. He is timid around his siblings at this stage. Once he is on his own he will develop into his regal, confident self. Maksim is a "show quality " cat. The vet during the exam asked if he would become a stud cat. I can say he is an observer and very relaxed. .. he reminds me of a surfer or a philosopher. Maksim is now presenting as very gentle and large. The qualities that have been consistent throughout his development are: mellow, quiet, thoughtful, easygoing. In the kitten basket he takes up the best spot, the center, and makes his siblings cuddle in around him. He is the opposite of Medvedko on the activity level spectrum. Amazing looking cat.. will need some patience and a gentle family.
Update Oct 7th. Vet visit - all doing great! Kittens will be ready in 2 weeks.
Casual evening .....
Update Oct 6th. I'll be updating this blog every few days with new information .
New nick names and a name adjustment.
Mag, Max, Med, Mufosa (Mufie)
Living with the kittens.. I naturally shortened their names.
Magdalina, Lynxpoint with white female
I love to play. I am confident and curious. I also like to have tidbits of sardines as treats. Sometimes when you least expect it I will find you and lick your hand. I want to show you affection. Would you like me to sit with you and watch you type on the laptop?
Medvedko, Lynxpoint male
I admit, I go a bit crazy over feather wand toys. I have a somewhat surprised and excited expression. I just love toys. I love climbing on top of the back of the chair and jumping off. I also love rolling over and over on the carpet and jumping up into the air. When I can't find a toy I'll chase my tail in a circle or run in circles around the couch.
Update Sep 25th.
All four kittens have been reserved. I am reaching out to those on the reservation list to start choosing next weekend. The kittens go to a vet exam on Saturday Oct 1st. I'll post updates this week with photos and video. The kittens have started on Hills I/D canned food plus the Royal Canin Kitten dry food that they started eating from 4 weeks. Mama Sophie's milk is starting to lessen in calories and so the canned food keeps them healthy and fat. They are running a lot in the early evenings. It is a play hard, sleep, play hard repeat lifestyle. I can only imagine how many calories they are burning up. The Royal Canin kitten formula is considered high calorie. As they mature I like to blend in a grain free food like Holistic Select that can be their main adult diet. Go 'home' date is approximately October 15th.
Update Sep 19th, 2016.
Here are some individual photos. These kittens were exhausted from playing and trying to sleep... Please see that Maksim (blue) and Magdalina (yellow) have white mittens. Magdalina, the only female is smaller than her brothers. She is the most outgoing of the four. She will fit in very well with a family. Magdalina is the first to greet people and the most confident over the past month. Maksim is a the largest male. He is a nice and large mellow boy who likes to wrestle and play, run, roll, and climb. Maksim is a motor-skill boy.. he is going to need a big cat tree and a lot of exercise. Mustofa (orange) and Medvedko (red) are also lynxpoints but without white mittens. What they lack in flare they make up by being sweet and kind companions. Mustofa and Medvedko are often found snuggling together while resting from running around after each other. Over the coming two weeks I'll be explaining differences between the kittens. Now we are waiting for their dear personalities to develop and clarify. Please note that after weaning and then again after separating from their siblings they will develop and grow astonishingly and 'blossom' into independent and loyal family members.
Mustofa (Orange collar) and Medvedko (Red collar) ..
Magdalina (yellow collar) (female) and Maksim (blue collar) (male) both of these have white mittens.
Sophie gave birth to 4 beautiful colorpoint, fat kittens on July 27th. The sire is the big, outgoing Daisley Zandrov Hansel. Kittens will be ready to go to their new homes approximately October 22nd. Shipping can be arranged easily for approximately $300. . Kitten price. $1400 .
Update Sep 12.
This is our last week of casual photos. Next week will include colored collars and names with individual descriptions. Lots of patience will pay off ..Aren't they looking gorgeous though. I'm so pleased that they have lovely personalities and are becoming quite social as well as beautiful.

8/28 More pics 3 males 1 female!!!
The one underdeveloped male is very likely actually a female. I'll confirm this on their first vet visit next week. (below) (with mittens)
Male (white mittens) (below)
Two males - (no white) They are very awkward and don't walk well yet so I put them on top of a back of a chair. At this age they are not interested in wand toys .. so later in a few weeks we will get much better still photos. These two are similar in size and waddle like fat hampsters. They are slow moving and prefer to roll around batting at each other over exploring. (below)

Update Two and a half weeks old. Aug 13th, 2016
Photos and videos below at 6 days old. Watch for slight twitches while they sleep. Feel free to turn the volume down on these videos as I had a loud fan going in some of them. Please note the these photos are taken in a dimly lit room with artificial light so the colors are not true. When they are older I'll use natural light.
