I hope he can pass on to his offspring that lovely personality that everyone that meets him, point out to us. Even our veterinarian is highly impressed with his capability to keep calm in every situation.. He had to be hospitalized for 5 days in her clinic, recouperatingafter an operation recently, and he won over everyones heart with his gentle ways.... Someone even said, that "..I thought Persian cats had an attitude... I didn't even like them much before..."

Tilly was my first exotic girl. And catwise, she is the love of my life. One of these cats who just steals your heart utterly and completely and in any and every shape, size or form. As beautiful as she may be on the outside, and that she is,- even more beauty lies within her soul. She is totally committed to me, too. She almost longs herself sick when I'm out of town or away for a few days... And she always knows my whereabouts.

She is a neuter female, and she bears the name on which I founded my Catterys name .  That way she will always be a part of my "catlife", even when she no longer is with us but in spirit.... That may be an honor,- but one that she so dearly deserves. Tilly is at the moment 0ne certificat short of the title Grand I(nternational Premier. Thank you, Marit Bergslid, for the entrusting of this LADY .

Tulip is a cat really close to my heart. She is not the most "fussy" kittie when it comes to ask for cuddles, but boy! - does she love it when we pick her up on the lapand just cuddle away....  Tulip is a very well mannered cat girl,- but she knows how to gain the respect she deserves, too. She is absolutely fearless - and she is very warmhearted towards her girlfriends in the cattery. She just can't stand quarrels,- and she stops them whenever she can be a go-between. She also looks after Sandie, who is her soul-mate as well as being the exact same age as Tulip. Sandie does not defend herselfmuch,- but then again, she's never had to - she's got Tulip... and Tulip won't have any bullying of her best friend. Not even from my male... or from "mater familias" -  Tilly.

Tulip is  very playful. She's a passionate "cork-and-caps-hunter", leaves not one bottle alone if it has a cap or a wine cork... and she is playing a lot with her kittens.  But an excellent mother she is, even though she is quite young herself.. And her kittens are well-nurished, have self confidence,they are gentle to each other, and she keeps them clean and healthy.

She also has her very own ideas about what tastes good and is suitable for cats in the lines of beverages, snacks and food... She dips her little paw into a lot of cups and glasses during one day - and she enjoys red wine, Tea (strawberry flavored) beverage and whipped cream. She also enjoys cream spread cheese with garlic, sour cream with garlic, garlic dips - and blue cheese.

But of course - minced meat with eggyolks and mineralflour is absolutely not "Yack" either...

She is a bluepoint Himalayan, born in April 2003. And I was lucky enough to be trusted with her from  her breeder,  Johanne Klovning, who 0wns the cattery ((N)Utsira Persians, Exotic and Himalayans ).

Sandie is as well-tempered as a cat may be, and she is playful and lively and tough in her gentle way. When all the cats go topsy turvy up the walls by the sound of the vacuum cleaner, Sandie just stands there, lifting one leg, then the other, looking up at me as if to say "Sorry, mom,- are you done alreday!! She is one of these rare pets that you actually can exchange feelings with and be answered back just by looking back at her eyes. Her eyes are actually "talking". Left here, you can see she has spotted my little pink featherduster, that she'd reeeealy like to have a chase for and a fight with....
