The story so far
It all started in October 2006 from a picture in the TICA Trend, a chat at a cat show and a free evening on the laptop! I saw and fell in love with this stunning breed of cat, did some research and fell further in love and finally got chatting to a breeder in New York city. By Christmas that year Judge and Disney were booked and going through their rabies vaccinations, blood testing, etc.
March 2007, both cats flew over to Holland where Stefen and I collected them and drove 7 hours to my parents home in North West France, Le Laurier. They never missed a beat purring and playing the whole time, we could barely bring ourselves to leave them but they had to spend the remainder of their 'pet passport' quarantine time there until they had completed their six month wait to enter the UK.
MAY 2007, Dee and I visited Judge and Disney for a long weekend, they had grown and matured and still had that soppy cuddly nature, in fact Disney would make a wonderful purring scarf whereas Judge could knead bread for England (or should that be France)?!
June 2007, Willow joined our family and will make an excellent outcross for the breeding programme.
AUGUST 2007, they came home!! Stef and I travelled to France on the 1st August to collect Judge and Disney from my Mum and Dad. A big THANK YOU to Mum and Dad for looking after these two since March and for organising their passports and treatments. Both cats settled in well, a little shocked to have to share us with our other cats but they took it all in their stride.
SEPTEMBER 2007, Well what can I say? Disney became a Supreme Grand Champion in 3 shows, she finalled in 20 of the 24 rings she has been judged in and exceeded all of our expectations!
JUNE 2008, Disney was confirmed as a Regional Winner, she is 8th Best LH cat in EN for the 2007/2008 show season!
