My breeding

 

EP Bluestream's Fay and I

 

In the year 1990 I saw a Somali in a show and felt in love with this breed. I got my first Somali in spring 1991 and the first Bluestream's litter was born in September 1992. A few years later I wanted to get new lines to my breeding and after being in contact with foreign Somali breeders, I got my first import in 1997, he is a very deep coloured sorrel Somali boy, Foxykats Duke-of-Bluestream.

My love in Abys started in 1996 when I visited in USA. I went to a cat show and met there a very lovely person, Carol McCutcheon and her beautiful ruddy Aby, Tosca. Three years later, in 1999, I went again to USA to pick up home my first Aby girl, Tosca's daughter named Mellowmews Tia.  It was a fascinating trip to pick my baby home and, at the same time, visit CFA International Cat Show and meet famous US breeders.

In next year I found myself again in Kansas City and now I had a very sweet ruddy Somali boy, Foxykats NGC6543 Purrsuit to share my home trip.

In March 2003 I picked two new males from the Dushara cattery. Before that I had visited Teresa's home a few times, and after thinking and talking we agreed that those boys would be suitable for me. They were very lovely and handsome boys, ruddy Dushara Sun Wizard Bluestream and blue Dushara PurpleSky Bluestream.

My latest Aby girl import is Mellowmews Cher of Bluestream.

The most successful cat in my breeding is EP Bluestream's Dundee, a ruddy Somali neuter,  who has won five times the title of World Winner. The years were 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000. He has got the title of Scandinavian  Winner in 1999, too.

In the breeding, my main aim is to have healthy cats with lovely temper and beautiful appearance according to the Somali and Aby standard.

I'm very strict when I place my kittens. I want them to have the best possible home where they are loved and taken good care as family members.
