Our 'Jubilee' Litter
After years of wanting to breed Siamese cats, my husband and I cancelled our holiday to Menorca to begin our teenage dream. We knew it was now or never; we knew it would be years of dedication and love versus two weeks under the sun - but it was an easy decision to make ...
Realising how much I knew about the needs and temperament of the Siamese breed (I had owned quite a few of them over the years), and after lots of research, I knew I would be so much more confident breeding Siamese cats than any other breed.
We started by putting a check list together of everything it would take to get up and running - testing, insurances, registration, vet and vaccination fees, etc.
All in all it came to quite a total, but it was never about the money for us; it was something we had both set our hearts on to do together and a programme we were not prepared to cut corners on.
Our cats and kittens would always be our most important concern - not the pounds and pence!
At every opportunity we did more reading and more research on the net. It wasn't until we were sure we had covered everything that we started our search for a suitable Queen, and after many days and hours spent searching in the press and on the computer we finally found what we were looking for.
Fourteen months old and perfect, a stunning chocolate point Siamese with a fantastic pedigree, we decided to call her Mia.
