So how did all this come about? I guess you could say it was partly my mother's fault. Many, many years ago while peacefully napping in my bassinet, my mother's beloved Siamese, Catherine, decided said bassinet was a fine bed to deliver her kittens in. Since that fateful afternoon, I've always shared my heart and home with Asian (Thai/Siamese) cats. Throughout college, marriage and motherhood, I maintained my love of cats and quietly held a torch for my dream of breeding pedigreed cats.
In the Spring of 2002 I started working with Burmese. I began my journey into Burmese-dom with a stunning sable show kitten that I named Thistle. The day I brought him home, he changed my life. My 5-year old daughter, Melissa, thought he was adorable but kind of funny looking. I had never experienced living with a Burmese Cat and was soon to learn about the depths of their affection for humans. After a night or two of Thistle burrowing under my bed covers to sleep curled up next to me, I was in LOVE. Melissa also took great interest in this little brown cat that would follow her around and play fetch with her.
From that day forward, I never looked back. My cattery continued to grow and improve along with my knowledge and experience in breeding pedigreed cats. I began with a Bachelor's Degree in Biology, added knowledge from various Veterinary manuals and combined it all with the love, dedication and years of experience of other breeders before me...so that now we have one happy cat lady doing what she loves, with the greatest of the cat breeds...The Traditional American Burmese.
In 2016, I made the jump into working with the Bombay breed as allowed outcross for Burmese in CFA. I acquired my first Bombay stud from my dear friends Troy Weier and Brian Tripp of Rokstarr Bombays. I adore my funny little copper eyed Bombay, Usher, whom I affectionately call "Ooshey". He is now siring beautiful black panther babies with my new Bombay queen Sia, from Roy Carney of Carney Cats Bombays.
PS. Melissa is now as attached to these little brown (and champagne and blue and platinum and black) cats as I am, she's always ready to lend a helping hand when it comes to playing with and taking care of kittens. Apparently, she loves animals as much as her mother does!
