My new Singapura!

Congratulations Nial He's gorgeous, I've never had the pleasure of seeing one in person we don't get them at our shows.

Nial, you are a showing fool.

He's gorgeous - and BTW, I sent you a PM recently.

Oh my goodness what a beautiful Firecracker, I love the name, Im sure its fitting

Are you going for one of every breed now?

He is adorable - he looks to be a good one from my untrained (SH) eye!

I've only ever seen one in person before but have a family friend who breeds them in OZ.

Love the name!

Congrats, Nial! What a beautiful boy. I'd love to see a pic of him with your Bengals, just to see how he compares in size

OHHHH niceeeeeeee - very typey - who's lines????

And beware of naming cats. Hubby says he's not gonna let me name any future cats! Jackie lives up to his Sparrow name in all ways.........and not in good ways either. He wants me to write a book....Jackie is the "Marley" of Ocicats!

What a beautiful boy! Love those big eyes! *swoons*

He's gorgeous! Are you going to show him as a neuter or do you plan on getting into breeding Singapuras?

As for living up to the name, remember, he has to be able to hold his own with all those Bengals.

Very very very nice Nial...hmmmm Singapura, Maine Coon, Abyssinian....are you looking at the Judging programme?

He's gorgeous!

I'm looking forward to seeing more photos of him when you get him. Those are some huge eyes in his little face. Very pretty cat.

Absolutely gorgeous cat! Wow. Just wow.

One of my closest friends owns a female singapura. The cat, named Mika, was a graduation gift from her parents. She later found out that her parents had been on a breeder's waiting list for over two years. Apparently singapuras are difficult to come by, but they were set on getting her that particular breed of cat. My friend had been coveting the breed for years since seeing the breed profile in literature she was reading for one of her classes. From then on it was all she could talk about. But she always imagined working as a veterinarian for years before being able to afford a quality cat. It was a complete surprise to everyone that her parents purchased her dream cat and I've never seen someone so happy in my life. Let's just say she is a very lucky girl and that she was amazingly awesome parents...

At any rate, Mika is an amazing kitty. I've never met a cat with such a personality -- she's very strong willed and amazingly gentle all at once. And boy is she boisterous, energetic, and, yes, even wild! For such a petite cat, she has the personality of a mammoth! She's my friend's baby and it's obvious that that cat knows it. But it's beautiful to witness and I've become so smitten with Mika that one day I, too, dream of owning a singapura. For now, though, that's not a possibility and I love my shelter kitties more than anything in the world...but a girl can dream, can't she?!

Firecracker is an excellent name and I have no doubt that he'll be a firecracker indeed! But I also have no doubt that he'll make an amazing addition to your kitty household. And, for sure, I can totally see him ruling the roost -- he can take a bengal with his eyes closed . Ha ha!

Good luck with him (when you get him) and I hope you'll continue to share his photos and antics with those of us not lucky enough to have our own singapura to come home to!

very nice. Will he be old enough to show at the Raleigh show? If so, you'd better show him if you want us to be on speaking terms.

Top Cat needs a companion to help steal the crowd.

That's even better. You can win Best Cat and I can win Best HHP Kitten. You know what they say about aiming high.

thanks. I'm sure yours will do well, too. Obviously as a breeder you know a lot more about cats. I just hope his personality doesn't change and that he can adapt well to the show hall.

I missed this entirely! Firecracker's gorgeous!!! I love the look of Singapura's, and always enjoy it when Beth (flisssweetpea) posts pictures of hers! Now we have 3 on TCS!

You need to start a running thread in fur pics of your non-bengals so we can keep up when you sneak a newbie in.

He is gorgeous.

In that first pic, he does have the "firecracker" look.... almost like the lil bratty look

He is absolutely superb!

I love Singapuras, I considered them but didn't opt for one because I was concerned that as they were so small they might find Radar a bit much (Radar isn't even 8lbs himself but I get bullied by him sometimes and I'm a lot bigger!) but apparently they hold their own with other active cats very well. If anything, he has a look on his face that indicates he might become a bit of a ringleader for any troublemakers

No seriously he is absolutely lovely, a fine looking cat, you are very lucky and I am very envious

Oh WOW Nial! I've been away from the board (working too hard) and missed this thread. I saw the Singapura siggy and just knew that it must mean good news. Firecracker is a little stunner isn't he! Not long now Oh boy are you going to have fun once the whole crowd get together

Things that my two LOVE to play with - cable ties or the plastic surround from a the big plastic milk containers; anything that looks like a mouse tail and pen tops. Tolly loves to bat those around the floor.

Thanks for reminding us all Beth! It's June now...where's Firecracker?

what a very gorgeous and elegant lucky kitty kitty!

Nial, will you be showing anyone at the same show, and get to see Firecracker? I don't know how you're being so patient!

He's stunning! I love his huge big eyes!!
