THE
BEGINNINGS
I started
breeding and showing cats over 20 years ago. Korats came about by
one of the happy coincidences in life that make you think some things
are meant to be. My eye was caught by a picture of a very small blue
kitten beside a very large blue cotton reel. I was also intrigued
as I'd never heard of the breed at all. However, when I showed the
book to a cat loving friend she had very recently been in touch with
the Secretary of the Korat Group for information. She had decided
not to follow it up so passed on it to me. My name was soon on the
list for a kitten and Bikila Meenah Rahk (March Love) was brought
home in March 1978.
MILESTONES
Since then Korats have been an all absorbing passion. I've bred some
wonderful cats that others have gone on to show very successfully for
my prefix - Jenanca. I assisted in the struggle to get the breed to Championship
Status, and was really thrilled when my first stud, Aerostar
Yin Dee became UK's first male champion . Another proud moment was when a girl
he sired became the first to be awarded a Grand title (Grand
Premier Campcat Aquamarine).
