I was born in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1997 and was very sweet (my Mom says!) |
| This was taken in June '97. |  |
 |
I arrived in England late at night after a long flight from Stockholm - here I am with my new Mom, having my first cuddle. |
| Dad soon helped me to feel relaxed and at home! |  |
 |
I found plenty of new games... |
| ...and made lots of new friends |  |
 |
Then later in the year I had a visit from some special people - Anna and Sigrid Lange (Ormeryds) came to check that I was comfortable and eating properly! |
| They loved all my Overall Best in Show awards from Manchester - especially the big shield! because it has my name on it! |  |
 |
|
| As a show-cat I enjoyed a new view of life from the show-bench: I really loved meeting people but sometimes it seemed to be such a very long day that I needed a cat-nap! |  |
 |
Now here's a nice trophy which I got from the Black, Red & Tortie Show at Morley, Leeds - The Paige Cup for Best Exotic - and I was also Best Adult Longhair. |
| Here's my one-and-only TV appearance! Christmas 1999, BBC2, with my friend Mr Redfeldt, on stage at the National Show at Olympia. I didn't win National Cat of the Year, but I was Best Longhair, Best Exotic and I got my third Grand CC!! What a fabulous day!! |  |
 |
Also at the National, I met some wonderful people - including breeders from all over the world who helped me celebrate. Here I am having a cuddle with my friends Gabrielle and Sabrina Santini (Macguss), Brenda Barrett (Finchfield) and Theo Goodman (Jedidiah)...and I took home some beautiful trophies too. |
 |
 |
 Life can be very lonely though when you're in the BIS pen! |
|
 |
Today, this is what I look like and I am now a GCCF Grand Champion and I have some beautiful kittens - and grandkittens and even great-grandkittens! (and many of them are Champions or Grand Champions.) |
