Testimonies from 2008
HOOTIE
Hi Suzanne,
Time certainly does fly. Can
you believe Hootie turned 2 on Aug.
28? He is a big boy now.
This is a cat who certainly
enjoys life. He loves to look
outside at the birds and lizards
through the front door and the
sliding glass doors. He looks to be
a great hunter if he were ever
allowed to. He gets so excited when
he sees them.
He is such a character and just
loves to play with everything and
anything. His favorite thing is
carrying a bag of catnip all through
the house trying to keep it from
Zoe. He loves to shake it and throw
it in the air. He definitely likes
the bag better than just getting the
catnip itself. 
Hootie is very healthy and
happy. He continues to entertain
everyone he's around. In fact, some
friends of ours said they would
gladly take him if we wished. Not
on your life!!!!!!!! Thought you
would enjoy some recent pictures of
him. He is as handsome as his
parents (Stormy and Ms. Marble) and
every bit bit the show cat as
Stormy, at least we think so.
Congratulations on the ribbons
your kitties won at the recent
shows. They are such champions each
and
everyone.
Vicki
I just love this
picture, had to send it along!

WEE LADDY
Hi Suzanne
Wee Laddy is
doing great! Everyone just loves
him. Today I got his registration
and 5 gen pedigree in the mail. Now
I have to get him registered CCA.
He has just
about doubled in size and is looking
good, he is eating iams kitten dry
now because every time I try to give
him canned he vomits which I found
odd. I tried both iams and science
diet canned and he vomits. So I’m
giving him dry only without a
problem. He is eating about ¼ to ½
cup a day.
Hope you like
the pics. The second one is Wee
Laddy and Panda my 17 yr old Brit.
 Let
me know if you happen to have cream
and white in any future litters or
even one like Pabby when you breed
her
J I think Wee Laddy needs a
play mate

Thanks so much

ANGEL
AND FINNEGAN
Hi
Suzanne,
Thank you for the
wonderful job you do
with your kittens!
Our house feels like
a home again. The
kittens are the
sweetest and
happiest kittens I
have ever had.
 Angel
just wants to be in
my lap or near me
whenever she can.
Finnegan must have
been born purring!
He is the happiest
kitten in the world;
I swear if he could
smile he would be
grinning from ear to
ear.
After the loss of
our beloved Daffy we
knew we had to have
very special
kittens. After we
got through the
initial stages of
mourning we started
to look at breeds.
We knew we needed
easygoing, docile
cats. Our other
cat, Dandy needed
some friends, he
took Daffy's loss
very hard. Since
Dandy is 10 we knew
we had to be careful
and find the exact
right fit for him as
well as for our
lives.
When we read about
Scottish Folds we
knew they were the
right breed; they
captured our
hearts. Then the
search for the right
breeder started. I
spoke to several
other breeders
before I found you.
None of them had the
knowledge or the
extra special setup
that you do. I was
very happy to find
how you socialized
the kittens and
knowing you are a
Vet, I felt very
secure that I would
get happy healthy
kittens; and I did!
It is so nice to be
able to get the
kittens already
neutered and with
all their shots,
well with everything
taken care of! It
has also been
wonderful to have
your advice and help
with the transition
and to know that if
I need anything I
can always call you
for help.
I had Burmese cats
many years ago, and
once I paid and
brought them home,
the breeder wanted
nothing more to do
with me. It is such
a comfort to know
you are there for
support if I need
it!
Thank you for
everything,
especially my two
wonderful new
additions, Finnegan
and Angel!!

Just wanted to
give you an update on how Winnie is
doing!
She really is a
wonderful little kitten. She has
settled into our family so well. We
enjoy how mellow she is and she gets
more and more comfortable with us
every day. Her normal thing now is
to wake one of us up every morning
around 4:30 to give us lots of
love...not quite sure why she's
chosen that time of the day to be
lovey-dovey, but I'll take it when
she will give it! She follows us
wherever we go, and she is always up
here on the computer when I'm
typing. The only thing I can't seem
to get her to stop doing is sleeping
on our dining table...it's one of
her favorite spots! Sooo, we'll
keep working on that one, haha!
No one can get
over just how beautiful she is, and
sometimes I can't even believe it.
She almost looks fake sometimes
because she's so pretty!
We are really
socked in with smoke here due to all
of the fires in California, so I
think she's been bothered by that a
little bit. I've noticed her
sneezing a few times a day, but her
eyes are very clear and she never
has any gunk around her nose. She
is eating like a horse! I can't
believe it!
Anyway, that's
the latest on Winnie! I will
continue to keep you posted! Hope
all is well for you!

GUS
Suzanne,
Here's Gus with my very happy daughter.
She said he is "perfect." I'm sure Jack
will agree.
You were so right -- Gus is such a
character. He's found a great resting
place on the bottom shelf of a bookcase.
And -- he's
done both his necessary activities in
the litterbox. Also, since I was up so
early, I took a short nap...He slept
with me!
Again, THANK YOU! Will send more pics
soon.
Robert
Hey Suzanne!
They are perfect together.
Thank you again.
More updates soon,
Robert
Hi Suzanne,
As Gus nuzzles my leg, it seems
appropriate to share info about his
first week.
1. What an amazing personality he has.
2. He has adjusted remarkably well.
3. His litter box skills are
extraordinary.
4. He eats like a horse.
5. He enjoys sleeping by Courtney's head
during the night.
6. I know Jack and my two older boys are
going to love him.
There's so much more. He's such a great
addition to our family.
Two pics attached. One of him crawling
on my shoulder while I'm working. The
other as he's perched on our matching
couch!
Will keep in touch.
Hope to have your info posted on my
website next week.
BTW -- not sure if I was clear -- it's
totally fine to deposit the check.
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING.
Take care,
Robert
Hi
Suzanne and family,
Just wanted to take a few minutes and
let you know that the kitty is doing
beautifully. He has settled in and is
life is great and he wanted me to share
a few of his thoughts with you so here
goes:
Hi gang, life in Daytona Beach is not so
bad at all. The plane ride was fun and I
got upgraded to 1st class from Atlanta
with free cheese, but no wine since I am
so young. My new Mom was a nervous wreck
when I got here but within 15 minutes
after landing we were in the car and
heading for my new home. I purred all
the way and took a little bath just for
something to do.
They said you were absolutely right when
you said I was a good traveler, I never
even cried once.
When I got there, wow! They have cat
trees all over for me to climb up and
down, I go a new bed for myself, but I
would rather sleep on the new Mom's
pillow. The food is great and sometimes
if I am fast enough, I can get some of
my new brother's big cat food. I got
some new toys and I love to play with a
straw they toss for me. They even have a
battery operated mouse for my to chase
in a circle. I really like my new friend
Max, he is a year old and we take turns
chasing each other across the house. We
like to get on opposite sides of a door
and push our paws under at each other.
They have a cat called Simba who has
some kidney problems, but I was really
nice to him and he likes me too. He got
some good news at his vet's office today
and his HCT was 30.3 up from 19.4 so the
new owners were happy.
I did a little sneezing the first day or
two, but I am fine now and didn't even
need any medicine. My eyes are doing
good too. They have an older girl here
named Koko and I just leave her alone as
she isn't too friendly,
but I will win her over in a few more
days. My new Mom thought I might
need to be separated from the other cats
for a few days, but not me, because like
you told these people I am sweet! They
looked up 'sweet' in the dictionary and
there was my picture! All in all this is
a pretty cushy gig here in Daytona Beach
so I think I'll stick around for the
long haul.
Now if only I could get my own name,
they keep calling me the little black
cat and that won't do. I'll keep you
posted when I can get more computer
time. Love from the kitty
As you can tell from his words, it seems
like he has been here forever. A Perfect
cat from the Purrfect Folds.
Thank you so much, Pat
NACHO,
TACO AND BURRITO
The
countdown to Burrito’s birthday has
started and it’s hard to believe
that he’s almost one!
He’s another pleasure as are his
brothers.
Hope you’re well.
Damian
Not
sure if I ever sent these to you – but
Nacho and Burrito have basically been as
thick as thieves from day one.
I
have to say that all 3 are still
getting along great.
Nacho is the sweetest (and smartest). Burrito is actually the calmest and
still follows me everywhere. Taco
is a high maintenance pain in the
neck who knows how to get what he
wants. And, I agree that he is
gorgeous.
Enjoy the relative calm of the
summer…I’ll e-mail you some new
pictures soon.
Damian
Eddie Freddie and
Josh
Hi Dr. Henne
:
I hope you like
this picture.
I am not sure how to down size the
photo. Let me know if this works
for you. My mom wants me to send
you a couple more, maybe for your
website or just for you to see.
Thanks,
Josh
Hello, this is Josh. I
just wanted to tell you
a litlle bit of info.
about Eddie. First of
all he has gained some
weight. He weighs
somewhere between 11 and
12 lbs. But he doesn't
like to be called fat.
He is pleasantly plump.
Also, we think he has a
lot of character. He
lays in the funniest
positions, and half of
them are him laying on
his back! He is also
starting to talk more.
The other day we took a
toy out to play with him
and he cried.
 And
sometimes he will lay
somewhat willingly on
his back while your
sitting down, and he
will lay on his back in
the crack between your
legs and then you can
pet him and he will like
it. You can also scratch
behind his legs and he
will stretch them out
when he is in the same
position. Anyway, I just
wanted to give you an
update.
TUCKER
suzanne, tucker is
home and doing really well...you
where right, he is not afraid of
anything...he settled in right away
and started playing w/toys...tucker
is, if possible, cuter in person,
and just purrs all the time...the
plane was 3 1/2 hours late leaving,
so when i got home it was close to
10:00, thought it might be a little
late to call you. ...thank you so
much for all your help in making
tucker mine...he reminds me so much
of my tucker, that it makes losing
tucker a little bit easier...thank
you again...martha
WILLY
Hi Suzanne,
Thanks for posting the pictures of
Willy. I have to try to get some better
photos of him where his eyes don't
change to that weird greenish color.
I'll send some your way if I do.
I've attached my favorite face close up
of Willy. I love the way his eyes look.
It was taken with my Blackberry last
week. Maybe you can put it up with the
others.
I am stuck on naming the new kitten. I
have three names in mind, but I can't
seem to decide which one to give him. I
like Jake, Duncan, and Logan. What do
you think? Which suits him best? It's
driving me nuts.
Regards,
Michelle
Hi Suzanne,
As promised, I've attached some more
recent pictures of Willy.
 These
are from a few months ago at the end of
January. They are not very good photos,
but they are the best I have.
 His
eyes always seem to come out with that
strange color. I guess it's like the way
people get red-eye in photos.
 Anyway,
the pictures definitely do not do him
justice. He really is such a beautiful
cat. If I ever get a truly good photo of
him I will be sure to send it your way.
I wish you could see him in person.
I'll speak to you soon. I look forward
to hearing back from you on the kitten
we are interested in.
Regards,
Michelle
BEN
Oh Suzanne he could not be any
sweeter. I wish I did not have to go
back to work tomorrow as we have become
fast friends.
Ben and Joey (my older male cat) make
strides every day.
Ben is worn out today and he was
introduced to the entire house today.
He has been very busy "exploring", while
his nervous new mother (me) is not far
away. I bought him a little collar
with a bell so that I can track him, but
due to his size I am never to far from
him. It will be awhile before he has
the run of the house on his own. What
are your thoughts about that? I do not
have much experience with kittens so I
am not really sure what I should and
should not be doing. The things I know
for sure are that he loves all his toys,
he does not like to be too far away from
me and he is eating a drinking a lot.
If you have suggestions or if I am doing
anything wrong in your opinion, I am all
ears. The little collar he wears when
he is "exploring has a breakaway
feature.
I could not be happier with my new
little buddy!!!!!
Niki
Ben is
soooo sweet. We are becoming big
buddies. You have done a tremendous job
socializing him. My older male cat
wants absolutely nothing to do with
Ben...I hope that changes soon.
Finnegan
Hi Suzanne!
Hope all is well. I just wanted to send
you some pictures of Finnegan! He's an
awesome kitty!
He spends his day with me in my office
when I'm working perched in my top desk
drawer!
As you can see, he's out growing it, but
insists on laying in there.
Wherever I go, he's not far away from me
- he is a wonderful companion and
definitely my shadow.
He also loves the basket. (I don't know
what it is about that basket!!)
He's a mush of a kitty and loves being
in the mix of things.
When I vacuum, I either have to move
him, or go around him! He's fearless.
Ping pong balls are his favorite to
chase, and he loves the fish in the fish
bowl.
So just wanted to let you know that our
Finnegan is PURRFECT!
Thank you for kindness with
everything.....
Kim :)
RILEY
We are both so amazed at how sweet
Riley is. He has been so quick to
adjust. We put a pillow in between the
front seats and he laid on it and road
most of the way home on it. I need to
try and order him a condo online today.
He climbed in the sock drawer and slept
there all night. 
He act's like he has known us forever.
So blown away by how smart this little
guy is. He is still trying to warm up
to the dog. One day at a time I
suppose. Did you say there was a soft
food Riley has been eating as well?
Also there was something chow food you
were telling me about. (kitty chow??)
I was trying to listen closely to all
the details, but I think I was so
excited I didn't retain it all.
Again thanks so much! He's perfect!
Jerry
JUNIPURR
Junipurr
is doing fantastic! He
really just fits right in
here. Sleeping on our laps
and playing all day. Kind
of like a little kid.
 He
just plays for hours and
then crashes. Did have some
loose stools, but we may
have given him too many
treats. He's quite the
little piggy, eating as much
as he can! And, we have a
hard time saying no to that
sweet little face. We
couldn't be happier with
him. He's also had lots of
visitors who think he's just
great too. I put some
softpaws, little claw
covers, on his front feet
and that has helped with the
climbing of the furniture
and scratches too. As you
can see, my daughter Chelsea
really loves her new kitty
friend.
Thanks
again,
Amber
Well Junipurr
is a doll. Made himself right at
home as soon as he got here.
Purred, used the litter box, ate
some treats, and drank some water
already! 
He also climbed up my back while I
gave the kids a bath and wrapped
himself around my shoulders .
Definitely going to fit right in
here. Thanks for such a great pet!
Amber
Fiona and Winston
(blue british shorthair and brown tabby
straight eared scottish fold)
Hi
Suzanne,
Fiona and Winston came safe and
sound from their long trip. 
They
are totally cute and adorable.
Here
are some pictures that Nick took of
the kitties last Monday.
J
I
checked your Scottish fold and BH
websites and I saw pictures of some
beautiful new kitties.
I
wouldn’t mind getting another one
but you are
too far.
Thank you for breeding such
beautiful cats!
Lita
LOUISE
Hi, sorry it has taken so long to get
back to you. Louise is doing great, and
has adjusted well. She is very playful
and has a wonderful personality. When
we were on our way home, she did not
like being in her carrier, so she fell
asleep in my hair. And since then it
seems that my hair is where she is most
comfortable while she sleeps, go figure.
I am so happy to have her as a part of
our family and may consider getting
another one next year if not for
Christmas
 .
hope all your other kitties are doing
well.
thanks, Elizabeth
PADDLES
Good morning, Suzanne,
Hope you and your family are doing
well. Have a great Memorial Day -
and a day off, too.
I
have been checking on your new
kitties. My, you have a good
bunch. All your mommies must have
decided to deliver at the same
time. Seeing them always makes me
want another, but don't think so.
Paddles is 3 now - where has the
time gone. He's doing fine and
loving being outside on our lanai
even thought it's warm. He has
never tried to drink out of the pool
like Mccloud used to.
Karen Skolnick
TAZ
Thought you might enjoy these. Taz
makes me smile every day.
DAISY
Hi,
Daisy had her first "official"
photo shoot. More to follow I'm
sure. Nick seems to enjoy it.
Daisy is doing great--so
cuddly--lays in my arms and
sleeps. I've never seen a
kitten that loves to be held so
much--lucky me!
Thank you again,
Deb
GOOD MORNING,
WE ARRIVED LAST NIGHT ABOUT 9:30. NO
PROBLEMS--SHE SLEPT IN HER CARRIER
FOR THE WHOLE TRIP. HWY 7 IS AN
INTERESTING DRIVE.
I WENT THROUGH THE PLASTIC BAG THIS
MORNING. YOU ARE SO THOROUGH.
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.
SHE IS SUCH A JOY! SHE GETS EXCITED
AND "HOPS" TO TRAVEL. SO FUN!
HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT GET-AWAY THIS
WEEKEND.
DEB
EMMA
New Emma pics are posted.
http://www.nickdeckerphoto.com/emma/3_15_08/index.html
ZOEI can't
hardly believe Zoe is one year old.
 My
little pit bull in kitten's clothing
has turned into a very sweet, loving
little girl. She follows me around
and loves to play. She particularly
likes her possum that has a bell in
it and continually knocks it off her
condo with one big wallop and then
wants it put back up again so she
can knock it off again. 
She wakes me in the morning by
dancing on me and giving me kisses
on my knuckles. If I don't budge,
she'll wrap herself around my head
on my pillow and go to sleep.
If there ever were perfect cats,
Scottish folds are definitely up
there. Thank you for the wonderful
breeding.
Mary
LUCY
Hi Suzanne,
Thank you for the
new pictures. She is so cute and I
am getting very excited to have
her. She looks like she is sassy
and has an attitude!!!!!!!!!!!! You
are right, she does have a beautiful
tail and her eyes look larger and
rounder as she is getting older.
Hope she will still be kind of small
when I get her. I love little fur
balls!!!!!!!!!!!
Teddy
EEK
Hi Dr Henne,
Lana and I thought you might be
interested to know that Eek (our cat,
and one of you gray Scottish Folds) is
in the may edition of Martha Stewart's
Living on page 169. He got the gig
through a friend of friend. Hopefully
the fame hasn't gone to his head. :-)
Cheers,
Mark.
TACO AND BEANS
(BURRITO)
Hi
Suzanne – just checking in to see
how you’re doing…I haven’t heard
from you in a while.
Hope everything is OK – cats are
great…Taco and little Beans are
attached.
