Our Companions & Retirees
Grand Champion
"Poppy"
Blue British Shorthair
This is our foundation queen. We call her Poppy and it is a name that suits her well. Poppy only ever had one litter for us. She wasn't cut out to be a breeding girl. Her type is so-so but everyone has to start somewhere. She makes up for her lack of coat and eye colour with personality plus.
Poppy is a little scamp with a fetish for doors and wine corks. She loves her good morning cuddles and being carried like a baby. Poppy is fascinated with water and likes to stand in the shower recess snapping at the water droplets.
Poppy has now retired from breeding and is doing just what she loves best, ruling the house. She loves to come see us in the mornings for cuddles, play fighting with her daughter Suzy and laying on the exact spot on the couch where you plan to sit.
Poppy is a much loved, spoilt pet. We would not part with her for the world. She will spend her days lazing on the bed and wrapping herself around my feet as I wash the dishes.

Baleaburra Chintz Twinkle Toes
Blue Tortie British Shorthair
Twinkie was bred by Betty Munro of Baleaburra British Shorthairs. Twinkie comes from a long and exceptional line of cats and is the culmination of years of hard work and love on Betty's part.
Twinkie has retired from breeding and is now a little bit fat! She is a funny girl with lots of naughty tortie attitude. Twinkie loves to sleep on our bed and still makes the occasional outing to show here and there.

Cuddleton Lady Beatrix
Blue British Shorthair
Trixie is just adorable. She has a sweet baby face with big round eyes. She is Katie's and Jackie's daughter. With a warm and friendly personality and a coat that is nice and dense she is just like a blue teddy bear!
Trixie was going to stay on with us but we decided to keep breeding with her mummy Katie instead.

Silver Distinguished Companion Cat
Miss Little Minky
Minky is our gorgeous, nine year old companion cat. She came to live with us when she was about a year old and we adore her.
When she was a tiny little kitten she walked straight into my Nanna's house, sniffed the dogs and decided that was home. Nanna and her partner kept her and she was became Bob's cat, sleeping on his lap and rubbing around his feet all the time.
I was reluctant to get another cat as I was still upset about Pippen but mum worked on me until I gave in.
I went to collect this cat that mum was raving about and my goodness, she was all tail!! She rolled all over the floor saying look at me, I am so pretty and I was instantly in love. I wanted to call her FooFoo but on the drive home she somehow became Minky.
When I started to show Poppy I felt Minky was being left out so decided to bring her too. I named her Miss Little Minky as Poppy had a posh name and I thought Minky needed one as well.
She was just a pretty cat to me but the judges love her! I think it is because of her striking calico colours, beautiful long coat and pretty, pretty face.
She is a little (okay a lot) over weight but when one judge said, your are fat but I love you and gave her third prize I knew she was our special girl.
