My name is Shirley my husband's name is Tim we live on the south coast in Bournemouth. We have a son and a daughter who love to be involved with our cat and kittens as much as we do.

I have loved Burmese cats since my parents first owned one (or should I say were owned by one) about 25 years ago. When I married and left home, we were owned by a half Burmese Cat named Smoky, at the same time we were also slaves to a Moggie called Tippy. Smoky was one of those cats that knew how to make you feel wanted and loved. Sadly Smoky departed this world at the tender age of 7 due to kidney problems. I missed her so much that my husband enslaved to me to a chocolate Burmese kitten called Chocolate Pudding (Chamois) who we still have now.

In May 2001 my now great friend Chrissy Russell of Ayshazen Cats very kindly allowed us to be enslaved to our first breeding queen Ayshazen Bethsemone (Tia). Tia is now living with my mum as she decided she wasn't happy living with daughter and her grand daughter.
