The show with Nona is expected to air late August 2010, or early September 2010. <br /><br />Exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />The picture posted is me being interviewed by the producer. Fun!<br /><br />Nona did indeed have to perform. She had to appear in the guest bathroom where she lived for the first three months in her new home. She was feral when we saved her from animal control in late 2001.<br /><br />Nona also had to show the producer how she navigates the Catarium, running along the ramps, the overhead cat walk, and the cat door. Nona also shows how she eats shrimp and crunchies. <br /><br />Nona even demonstrated how she hides under the bed when scared and surrounded by a camera crew- but I bet that won't make it in the show ;-)<br /><br />Purrrrrrfect,<br />Nerissa Oden<br />http://Nebelungs.blogspot.com <br />http://www.Catarium.comUnknownnoreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19804257.post-59566204894952381032010-07-08T19:10:00.000-05:002010-07-14T09:46:27.361-05:00Nona The Nebelung Gets Well Deserved AttentionNona has been a little deprived of our attention lately. We recently lost our beloved Chelsea two weeks ago. She woke one day and couldn't use one of her rear legs very well. Chiropractic and acupuncture helped for a little while but eventually her condition (and whatever had caused it) wore her out. <br /><br />We came back from an overseas trip last week and to everyone's surprise Virgil couldn't walk at all our fourth day home! Needless to say he's gotten all our attention for past four days. Virgil is walking again but the vet has no known cause for that sudden condition. I suspect supplements- but that's another story for another time.<br /><br />Healthy Nona hasn't been our focus, until today. I grabbed my camera and my cell phone and made her feel like a star! In the pics you can see clearly the red areas of fur, the fur crimping that occurs when her fur is damp (it is very humid outside), her fluffy pantaloom butt, and her two tone coat that is very light the closer to her skin.

Our vet says it's fur balls. We've lubed her with Laxatone for days on end. We purchased a Furminator comb and still she wheezes. Her waste has always been in small pieces, and hard. (The vet says this is a sign of fur balls.) So Nona, now age eight years, is suffering from her own Nebelung fur. <br /><br />Her Nebelung fur gets dense and strong when wet. I've described her fur as being like cement when it gets wet. I didn't realize just how correct I was...<br /><br />Wish us luck in clearing her fur balls because the last resort option is surgery. And we definitely don't want to go there.<br /><br />Sincerely, <br />NerissaUnknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19804257.post-1161191021664327692006-10-18T11:48:00.000-05:002006-10-18T12:10:56.126-05:00HUGE cat enclosure in Ohio!Carmen writes--<br />"It’s the best thing I ever could have done for my cats. They spend so much time out there enjoying the world the way they should but in a safe way. The only down fall is I do a lot more house cleaning. LOL! They drag dirt and mulch in all the time. And of course the occasional cricket. LOL! Thanks so much for having such a great website and inspiring me. You and Joe’s catarium really helped me decide what we wanted to do. And I hope some day I can get a website up like yours for the catarium, to inspire people the way yours inspired me.

The deck came in a cute green oval container with rubber cat ears, eyes and tail. As much as I enjoyed the unique card case, I enjoyed the cards even more! Each card contained a wonderful portrait of a cat breed. Several cards contained cat breeds I had never heard of! <BR><br /><IMG alt="nebelung card" src="http://www.freevideoediting.com/nebelungs/Nebelung_Card.jpg" align=left border=20 margin=”20 px”> And you can guess that I saw one that looked exactly like Nona! I was floored! Just look for yourself--the card is darn near a portrait of Nona! I knew my Nona was special but I had no idea she was a pure breed. <BR><br />Nona looked just like a Nebelung breed. I had never heard of that breed. But of course I was curious. I got online and searched for information about Nebelungs. I was floored again--Nebelung traits matched my Nona! <BR><br />I took it upon myself to contact Cora Cobb and after sharing several photos and emailing back and forth, Cora said that it appeared to be that I had myself a Nebelung from an early line of Nebelung. (Earlier lines of Nebelungs commonly had eyes that were more green-yellow in color rather than the newer green-green color.)<BR> So, now you know how I discovered that I had a Nebelung. One day, I'll share with you how Nona came to live at our house.<BR><br />Happy New Year!<BR><br />NerissaUnknownnoreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19804257.post-1135632026954596232005-12-26T15:15:00.000-06:002005-12-26T15:37:33.666-06:00Mewvies for Nebelungs!<a href="http://revver.com/video/1682" target="_blank"><img src="http://media.revver.com/broadcast/1682/thumbs/thumb_default.jpg" align=left border="0" margin=”20 px”></a><br />Click to watch cat videos that entertain your cat! It is such a simple yet effective "toy" for you cat - I love it! We recently bought a large plasma TV which has a soft screen so we can not buy these "mewvies" for our critters.

She is excited I came to visit and photograph her in the catarium. You can see how she's rubbing and rolling around. You can see Nona has her winter coat and is slightly chubby. She weighs 8 pounds and is the smallest cat in our house.<BR><br />SIDE NOTE: I was sick in bed recently and Nona laid beside me all day. Normally our bully cat is in that bed, but Nona curled with the both of us and told our bully cat to stay away every time he tried to inch closer. She braved her biggest threat just to be near her mom. <BR><br />-NerissaUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19804257.post-1135611515102826682005-12-26T09:29:00.000-06:002005-12-26T09:38:35.113-06:00Get All Posts by EMAIL!Hi!

But first let me say that I have loved many cats and currently have 6 cats. But Nona is just an extra special cat.<br /><a href="http://revver.com/video/6758/3446" align=left target="_blank"><img src="http://media.revver.com/broadcast/6758/thumbs/thumb_default.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><STRONG>(Click image to play or share video)</STRONG><br /><br /><STRONG>Activity Level:</STRONG><br />Normal. Follows you around house. Plays when prompted.<br /><br /><STRONG>Playfulness:</STRONG><br />Very gentle playfulness. Loves to play tag. Loves to dive under covers to get her target--but only during play, never while I sleep. String is her favorite toy. Enjoys taking turns swatting a pingpong ball in tub. Loves catching ping pong ball when I toss to her. (Get it? She loves playing catch and tag with me. Not your normal cat.)<br /><br /><STRONG>Need for Attention:</STRONG><br />This is a tough one. Yes and No. She's almost always near me, but does not demand my attention. I do acknowledge her verbally as she walks with me from room to room. If she wants held she asks me and waits for my invitation. <br /><br /><STRONG>Affection toward it's owners:</STRONG><br />Yes. Likes being held, played with, brushed and talked to. Loyal is more appropriate. When she loves you, your family. I suspect Nona would attack anything that was hurting me. She isn't fond of Virgil (another indoor cat of mine) but runs to his aide when he gets cornered by the bully cat.<br /><br /><STRONG>Vocality:</STRONG><br />Very danty voice. Has a large vocabulary. Purrs, merts, twills, and more. She announces her presence before jumping, and when approaching from behind. (Very courteous don't you think?)<br /><br /><STRONG>Docility:</STRONG><br />Yes, but she could kick your butt and survive without you IF there was no other choice. The outdoors scares her - she's afraid of being locked outside. Nona needs to know she can get back in, on her own will.<br /><br /><STRONG>Intelligence:</STRONG><br />Um, yes!<br /><br /><STRONG>Independence:</STRONG><br />Not aloof, but not needy either. But her love and loyalty is strong. When she adopts you as her family she wants to be with you, period. When she was adapting to us she use to ride and sleep on my shoulders. She greets you at the door when you return home. She follows you from room to room.<br /><br /><STRONG>Healthiness and Hardiness:</STRONG><br />A+<br /><br /><STRONG>Need for Grooming:</STRONG><br />I don't need to groom her, but she does enjoy the soft brushes. (Who wouldn't?)<br /><br /><STRONG>Compatibility with children:</STRONG><br />NO! Nebelungs are for gentle adults who want a devoted family.<br /><br /><STRONG>Compatibility with other pets:</STRONG><br />Nona doesn't seem to like anyone but the humans. For the first two years she was a stealthy dominator. She would act all sweet and lovey then swat them when their defenses were down. Joe and I joked that Nona was secretly plotting to kill the other pets (and Joe) and make it look like an accident. She's adapted to my other pets and even helps rescue Virgil form our bully cat but she'd prefer to be alone with us.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19804257.post-1134447929730326402005-12-12T22:15:00.000-06:002005-12-12T22:39:26.676-06:00Nebelung Physical Traits (Slideshow)One can easily see physical traits in Nona that are classic Nebelung. For example, her tail is slightly darker than her body. In certain lighting, reddish tints appear in fur around shoulder area. Shorter hair on her face and feet shimmer more than her longer body hair. Notice the classic pantaloon leg fur (pantaloons are wide britches.) The lighter color of her undercoat.<BR><br /><iframe src="http://www.fotothing.com/slideshow.php?id=nerissa&f=1" width="400" height="568" scrolling="no" border="0"></iframe><BR><br />And of course, her fur is soft soft soft. Her fur is so fine that I feel the loose ones on my face much faster than I could ever see them. And yes, my eyes are 20/20.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19804257.post-1134428943920062532005-12-12T17:07:00.000-06:002005-12-15T17:46:08.496-06:00Nebelung - The Modern Russian LonghairNebelung is a recreation of a past award winning cat breed called Russian Long Hair.<br /><br />Seigfried and Brunhid were the first registered Nebelungs.

Nebelungs have long super fine hair that shimmers a silvery blue with every movement. Kind of like a 'misty blue' - get it? ;-) Modern Nebelung eyes are vibrant green but can glow golden and bright in the sunlit afternoons.<br /><br />When I first saw my Nona, she was the shiniest cat I had ever seen. Glistening silver movements in the bright sunlight. And her eyes may as well have been little gold buttons, so round and bright. I had never seen eyes so close to actual gold before. When you look close you can actually see the tiny flakes of green and yellow so delicately evenly scattered by her creator.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3
