Thank you Lesley for this super girl!! |

| When
surfing on the net I found that a breeder in England had a litter of
just the lines I was looking for. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| At The Siamese Cat Clubs Show in 2001 I found that the kittens from Gr.ch. Jophas Trickortreat had a very broad top of head and base of the ears, just what I wanted for my future breeding. I have also seen the cats from the mothers pedigree, Applejack Tickled Pink. I found them very interesting and of a type that I think and hope will match my old lines (kittens from Libertine). I also hope to learn some more about the "new" colours. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(m indicates that the cats are registered as caramelltabbies and caramelltortietabbies in GFFC, these colours are not accepted in FIFe and Tango will have a RIEX pedigree and so will her kittens.) |

I
contacted the breeder, Lesley Williams, Spireshadow, and after some time
of thinking and investigations she sad YES, I could have one of her
females. And I was more than happy. Lesley
made it really interesting waiting for my “baby”. At her homepage she
wrote a diary about the kittens development with a lot
of photoes: http://www.spireshadowsiamese.com/kittens.php

Love
at first sight 16th of December 2002 In
December we went to the show at
Olympia. On Sunday we took the train down to Lesley in Salisbury to have
a look at the litter. I realy liked what I saw. My Tango and
her littermates were both beautiful and charming. We had a lovely time
together with Lesley, Steve, Jas and her kittens. I had to wait until the
beginning of February before I could pick her up. These weeks felt like
years. |

| The
8th of February I went to London to pick her up. I am so
glad Lesley and Steve brought her to Heathrow for me. Unfortunately the
British authorities do not allow "cat in cabin" anymore, and my
heart was crying when I had to leave her at the checking in. 2 1/2
hours later we landed at Gardermoen . Both she and I were happy that the long and
exhausting travel had come to an end. I took her out of the carriage and she was
only purring as if the long journey hadn`t bothered her at all. When
coming home to my other cats they were a little bit sceptical at first,
but she couldn`t care less, Only purring with her tail stright up: Here I
am.
Already the next day she made friends with Hetty and Kandy. Few days later she was accepted by them all, also Kalendergirl who doesn`like newcomers, maybe she remembered the language. Tango went to her first show in the middle of March - she had super reports from both judges and won BIS both days in the kittens class. Do I have to say how proud I was.
