Athene was my very first oriental. She was the one who really introduced me to this ever so amazing breed. I was so lucky that her breeder, nowadays a very good friend of mine, wanted to keep the black girl to herself and gave me the blue one, Athene. It is a long story how I ended up in getting Athene, but the story goes shortened like this: I had been searching for a black oriental female for a quite some time, and Stareye's cattery at the time had a black female to offer. But when I visited her cattery, she told me that she wanted to keep the black female to herself but she still had a blue one which was available. So it was like a luckystroke that I had Athene instead of the black one. Nowadays, Athene is living happily in her new home with her daughter Chantal. The reason why I had to give her away is, that she acts like the Queen who runs this whole household, so she didn't except any newcomers. I will be forever greatful to Stareye's cattery for giving me the chance to have this Queen who rules the household, and to Athene, who really got me into this whole breeding and showing thing!

Battu is from Athene's 2nd litter. So overall, she is my very first siamese. Battu is a very big female, the biggest I've ever bred. But besides the bigness, she's a very tall and elegant female. And her temperament is just super. It was so easy to go to shows with her. She streched so easily, and she really got those show-nerves.

1st photo: Chantal at the age of 3 months
Chantal is from Athene's 3rd and last litter. Chantal represents a very modern type. Her profile is straight, a real roman-like. Her blue is a very dark blue, unlike Athene's who's blue is greyish. Chantal has been quite successful in the shows, she's my very first cat who's gained the Junior Winner -title. The reason why I had to give her away is, that like her mother, she didn't except any newcomers, and she couldn't get pregnant after a c-section, which was a cause of her vet's malpractice.

Olga is my very first imported cat, and Hava's mother. Olga is originally from Ukraine, but I picked her up from the show in St. Petersburg. Olga's daughter Hava, resembles so much like her mother Olga. There is absolutely no difference between them. Both of their temperaments are exactly the same, and they look the same as well. It is amazing how two cats can be like one. Hava inherited all of Olga's good qualities, like the super temperament and her great looks. |
