Our feline friends have been a part of my life since early childhood. Even an asthmatic allergy to cat hair couldn’t lessen my love, devotion and involvement with cats. Aged 13, I was granted my Breeder’s Prefix Kalinya, introducing me to the pleasures and heartaches of breeding and showing Siamese.
During my teenage years as a junior member of Illawarra Pedigree Cat Fancy I worked as a Steward and wherever else I could be of assistance.
My breeding and showing life was only interrupted for a longer than expected period by my human breeding programme. Resurrecting my Kalinya prefix in 1990, I resumed feline breeding with firstly a “rescued” lilac Burmese then British Shorthair and since 1991, my first love, Siamese.
