We invite you to meet our lovely girls. We love our girls to bits and are extremely considerate with their diet, health and hygiene, but we try not to lose sight of the fact that they are still cats!
Whether we like it or not, our furry little companions are still quite in touch with their instincts, and are still wild at heart! So when they are not calling, the girls are allowed access to our garden which has been completely cat-proofed, and therefore the whole garden is their run! We only let them outside when someone is home, so we can keep an eye on them.
We love to watch them chasing around, hiding in the bushes and pouncing on leaves and bugs! I think you can glimpse the true essence of a cat when it is outside, but at the same time we can relax that they are not in danger from the road or any other hazards.

Our Usual Abyssinian 'Maddy'
ASWANI HOSTA Meet 'Maddy' our usual Aby foundation queen. Thank you to Judy Whiteford for this lovely girl. She is the sweetest natured cat you could wish to meet. She loves to be held on your shoulder, and is happy to be carried round the house like this, and like most Abys she LOVES her food!
Maddy has proved herself to be a wonderful mother, who left us very little to do other than cuddle her little bundles of joy!
We are very happy that we chose to keep the little fawn girl from Maddy's second litter (see 'Chino' below). Our hope is to breed high quality kittens to maintain the already high standards of Abyssinians in this country.
We are delighted that this little girl has stayed with us! She is a beautiful little fawn lady and has a very sweet nature. Maddy has certainly passed on her lovely temperament to this little one.
With her handsome father Charley, and Maddy both being usual coloured, the chances of this little girl coming out the colour she is was only 1 in 16, so she is special in more ways than one!
Chino had her first kittens in 2007, giving us five beautiful babies. Her kittens were stunning and inherited her wonderful gentle nature. We have high hopes for her in the future.
Chino is PK Deficiency normal
We are pleased to introduce our lovely chocolate Ocicat girl 'Tia'. Tia was kindly offered to us by her breeder Rosemary Caunter after the sad loss of our first Ocicat girl, Dizzy. Tia is a delight, having the most sweet and loving personality, liking nothing more than being snuggled up with one of us!
Tia has bonded with the rest of our little cat family really well, and has established a special bond with Chino, which is heartwarming to see.
Tia successfully gained the title of Champion in her first 3 adult shows. She then stunned us with her first litter, by producing an amazing litter of 8 kittens in a stunning array of colours, sired by Grand Champion Thickthorn Blue Skipper!
We are proud to introduce our newest addition Jazzy. She has a full Ocicat pedigree, but her coat is the striking classic pattern.
She is the first Classic Ocicat to be registered for breeding in the UK and we are very excited about the future with her. We hope to work with other interested breeders to promote this beautiful and rare pattern. Jazzy has certainly knocked our spots off already!
Some interesting details about the classic pattern have been added to our Ocicat information pages here
Pedigree is available upon request

Our Other House Guests
Candy is our Chinchilla girl, we rehomed her from her breeder when she was two years old. She is a real diamond, loves everyone, and shows them how much by licking them! She also likes to bring you presents, and looks really pleased with herself as she presents you with a dirty sock!!
Jake and Milo (yes, named after the Tweenies), are our two Guinea Pigs. Affectionately known as 'The Rats' (well maybe not so affectionately by Ian!?), when allowed to run around the house, they successfully chase the cats!
The Fish - enough said!!
