Having been involved with Siamese for most of my life, it came as a shock when my mother bought a British Shorthair kitten just because she liked him. He was a lovely red spotty, called imaginatively RED, my mum and dad had a narrow boat, and Red went with them on their many travels becoming quite a character among the folk who leisurely shared the waterways.
Sadly years later when Red died my mum asked me to take her to see a British kitten and I fell in love myself there and then with a silver tabby, this was well before the Bacardi advert that brought the Tabbies and Spotties to the heights of popularity. I loved our Kitty because she was just a plain but beautiful cat and the exact opposite with her huge feet and thick legs to the elegance of the Siamese we were used to.
Of course Kitty, led to Chelz, and the British section of the shows and we were hooked. Many years later, we are looking forward to having a beautiful girl from Sue Gibbon of Acmebrits who has our own Katakoustiks lines and a great grand daughter of our Chelz and from four generations of our own breeding, the prospects are very exciting for us and we thank Sue for planning a mating we would love a kitten from.
