Miri-Kats
Athene (1980-1982)
Miri-Kats
Athene entered our house 1st January 1981. She was a bluepoint
of medium type, but of lovely colours. She and our dog Sala, became friends
in less than a week. She loved children, but tried to scare all our adult
friends away from the house.
Sala
(1979-1990) and her 12 Friends
We
were told that a litter might calm her.
Athene, or Tine as we called her, had her first – and last –
litter the 12th
of April 1982.
This was the first litter under the Liberho‘s prefix: Cinderella (Cindy),
Caruso, Casanova and Valentino (Pio).
This
litter did certainly not calm her down; she now became a really “Attack
cat”. We almost had to put out the sign “Beware of the Cat” on the
front door.
We
had to put her to sleep, but kept two of her kittens Cindy and Pio.

IC Liberho`s Lilac Valentine (1982-1993)
Pio
was a lovely cat; he loved people – and especially me. When he heard my voice in the showhall he cried out like mad
to have my attention. He did quite well at the show bench. He became both
an International Champion and a Grand International Premier. He won some
Best in Shows and in 1992 he was the mostwinning veteran, all breeds. I was
so proud of him, even though his ears were much too small and his eyes much
too big.
As told he loved all people, but did not prefer smokers. He used to sit on
the top of the sofa, and when they started to smoke – he started coughing
and looking at them with a mean look. (This was the only time he had the
correct Siamese expression!)
He
also impressed many by doing things on command, just like a dog.
Cindy
thought people was OK, but loved our dog much more. Cindy had 3 litters,
but I was not happy with their temperament. They were OK in their new homes,
but they did not like to be shown. I therefore had Cindy neutered.
Liberho`s
Blue Cinderella (1982-1993)
Because
of this temperament is very important to me when selecting cats for
breeding. I will try to avoid that new Siamese owners will have to experience the
same as I did the first years of breeding and showing.
Cindy,
Pio and our dog, Sala, all died at the age of 11+, and we miss them all a lot.
I
will never have a cat like Pio again.

In
1983 I was looking for a new queen. This time I knew what to look for.
I
wanted a cat from good breeding lines, of nice type and of lovely
temperament.
17th
of May 1983 this cat was mine, Bluaco`s Dark Clasica. She is in the
pedigree of many Liberho`s cats today. She is in the 8th generation of my
two youngest Norwegin queens (N) Sinornatas Libertine and Ch. Liberho`s
Hot Gossip.
IC Bluaco`s Dark Clasica
(1983-1990)
Clasica
had 25 male kittens before her first female kittens was born – Liberho`s Dark
Lady Incredible.
She had 37 kittens before she died from
cancer 9 years old.
Many of these won a lot of prices.
Her most famous kittens
are:
