Hi Terry, Wayne here in Austin Texas; we have adopted Karlsson & Kendra from Knut's litter. We moved here four years ago from Madison Wisconsin. Glad to hear Knut is doing well. We are very pleased with the K's as well.

Hi Wayne, It's so nice to hear that Knut's litter mates are doing so well. We just adore the little guy, he is so precious. We are in Wisconsin! I have a friend who lives in Austin, I'll have to tell her, her fair city is graced with Knut's family! I wish there was a way to share photos here, it would be fun to see how they all look as they grow up. Knut is absolutely gorgeous!

Hi Cheryl, I'm Jen, a friend of Terry and Knut. I know Terry through the MINI USA website, and let me tell you, Knut has become a member of the MINI USA community/family! As a teacher in CT, I even hang pictures of Knut in my classroom so students can see him grow up. If I go too long without sharing a picture, my students really get on me! Knut is loved my many from all over the country. What a great kitty, that Kute Knut. Thank you!!!!!!!

Hi Cheryl, the day we introduce Knut to Houdini I took a couple of short videos. I've been trying to figure out how to share them, finally I posted them on You-tube. You can see them here.

The newest kittens are adorable, Cheryl! I wish I could come over to play with them, they are just too cute!

If I'm doing this right, a photo of Knut should appear here.

Congratulations on choosing one of Cheryl's kittens. Our little Knut is a constant source of joy in our household. I know you will be just as happy with new baby, Merlot.!

Dear Cheryl, Your web site is very professional just like your cattery. We continue to recommend you tp everyone that might be interested in a cat or kitten. I'm thinking some of your new names will match your Harley passion. You really are the best breeder anywhere. We continue to enjoy Gunnar and Bopper at the office for therapy, and at home. Thanks for all you do. Kevin & Jeanie

Hi Everyone: I am proud the say that the newest kittens have arrived. The proud parents at CH Norsestar Castile of Catequil and GC, RW Vanir Ellen Degeneres. There are three brown classic tabby and white males. Two are extremely high white and could of been vans if they did not have a couple extra spots on their back. Pictures will be coming when they look more like kittens and not gerbils.
Hugs and Purrs,
Cheryl

Cheryl... It's hard to believe that it has been almost two years since we first met, and you were so generous with your time, helping a complete stranger and competitor at a CFA show in Nebraska. As you know I had just lost my big, loving Maine Coon, Bridger, about three months before, and I was looking to get back into showing. You mentioned that you had a blue and white kitten available, and as things worked out, I drove out to Iowa before Christmas, between two blizzards, to pick him up. Ullr received his Grand Premiership in CFA and is currently, showing in TICA, having received his Double and Triple Grand Championships in March. I just filed the paperwork for his Quadruple Grand Championship in alter class for a show this last weekend. Thanks for a great show cat!
But more importantly, when Bridger passed away, I had a hole in my heart that was so large I never thought it would heal. It has. Ullr has helped close it. He is so special, so sweet, always in the same room as I am, lying at my feet or in my lap. Each time I pick him up, he begins to purr and puts on his Norwegian cat smile. I am so incredibly thankful for Ullr. Simple words cannot express my love for him. Just let me say a special Norwegian thank you......"takk Skal du ha."........Kent
