It all began when my mother and
stepfather brought home a lilac Burmese male kitten - his name
was Taj Mahals Amadeus. Amadeus was a wonderful companion for me
as a child, he was the one to whom I confessed all my secrets
and also donated his fur when I was sad and crying my eyes out
with my head burried deep in his stomach.
When I got older and moved away from home and my mother then was
alone with Amadeus, she decided to rehome him to an elderly
couple who also got a female Burmese companion for Amadeus.
Those two were inseperable, untill Amadeau was hit by a car...
A bit later, in May 1992, I got my first Burmese
- a chocolate male (that was neutered early on) called Ganja's
Kasjan - and we quickly realized that Burmese are meant to have
cat company, so 6 months later Dizzy followed! Kasjan was put to
sleep at the age of 7 years old due to illness - he is still
very much missed by us!
In 1993, after we had attended a couple of
shows as exhibitors and had become "addicted" to it, we decided
to have yet another Burmese - this time a female (who knew, it
might be fun to have a litter of kittens or two...), and then
Pencena Olivia (seal tortie) moved in with us. In 1994 our
pedigree name was registred and on February 12. 1995 our
A-litter was born!
Over the times some of our beloved cats have
had to be rehomed because they have not thrived completely with
us (particularly the other cats). It is never an easy decision
to make, but when you later see a cat, who was perhaps low in
the hierarchy here, ruling it's new home with a firm paw you
find that it was definately the right decision!
Recently our cat family is extended with first
one, then two and now three lovely Abyssinians - they go great
with the Burmese, in spite of their somewhat different approach
to life!
We also moved to a house from our appartement
in June 2003 - it is so great to finally have a fenced garden
for the cats to run in (pictures
from the cats first day in the garden - sorry all text is in
Danish, but pictures are universal...)
