Freya gave birth to two girls in the early hours of 31st March 2005. Unlike Freya's two previous litters, the kittens were very similar to each other. They were both tawnies. We named them after Norse Goddesses following the theme we have stuck to so far. They were called Northsprite Laufey (Pet name Tiri) and Northsprite Mani (Pet name Calli). Laufey is a fire giantess and the mother of Loki. Mani is the moon goddess. They were lovely, playful kittens and gave us much joy before they left. We were also very pleased that both kittens will stay together. They now live with Dominique and her family in North Shields in the North East. Once again, Freya was mated with a black silver stud cat called Allagash Texasdots. 'Tex' is owned by Jacky Atkinson. Tex was also the father of Freya's first and second litters. Here's a few pictures of the family as they grew. Enjoy!
Freya with the girls in the nest. This is the first litter we have had where they have all been the same sex. At this stage we were unsure what sex they were (it's difficult to tell)! ***
This is Laufey. She was the first born.
And this is Mani. Their colour was very similar, but Mani's spots are bigger. ***
This is the girls aged two weeks. Eyes open and looking cute! ***
Laufey (left) and Mani aged around 3 weeks. ***
At 4 weeks they begin to try some solid food. This is a picture of their first try. Mani tucks in while Laufey waits to see what her sister thinks! ***
We brought our new cat Thickthorn Siguna home when the kittens were about five weeks old. They hit it off straight away! Here's the three of them relaxing (probably after a couple of hours playing chase)! ***
Here's the two girls posing for the camera aged about 7 weeks. ***

We often hear from Dominique who owns Laufey and Mani. Here's a lovely photo she sent us of the girls relaxing..
