Nearly all my life I was accompanied by cats. When I was 11, my father agreed that I could have my first own cat. Her name was Mischka, a black cat from a nearby farmhouse.
In 1997 I visited my first catshow and was fascinated by the noble beauties. Short after that show I called a wonderful Russian Blue my own. Nina was her name, she was independent and made everything on her own. She didn't want to be petted.
On our next catshow I saw my first Norwegian cat and instantly fell in love with him. A week later Teddie moved into our home, he was white with long hair and had a pronounced lion's mane.
When both were adult, Teddie, the white Norwegian, tried to mate all day long with Nina when she was on heat.. As we didn't want offspring, we gave Nina to my parents every time she was on heat. After some time my parents asked me if Nina could stay with them for ever. Now Nina lives with my parents for ten years. I can visit her whenever I want.
Teddie accompanied me for 7 years and when I separated from my husband, he took Teddie because I had to work again. We still have a very good relationship and so I can see Teddie from time to time.
After two years without cats, my life has changed quite a bit. My new partner in life is retired and has got plenty of time. A great chance to make my dreams come true. Breeding Cats.
When we saw our first Somalis on a catshow we were fascinated and sure that this would be the race we wanted to breed.
After the first Somalis moved into our house in 2005 we knew that we never would regret it.
