Our love of Burmese cats started with the purchase of our first pet Burmese Teal'c in December 2000.  He is a beautiful chocolate Burmese with a lovely friendly, chatty nature.

The Breeding Cattery was established in November 2002. 

We began by purchasing two breeding Queens from a cattery that was going to cease breeding Burmese.

The two Queens we originally purchased were Catrest Betty Boop, pet name Cocoa, a chocolate Burmese and Killishandra Xybelline, pet name Gally, a Seal Burmese.

Our original Stud cat was Brampets Sheridan Star, pet name Star, a Seal Burmese.

Later we purchased Brampets Aquasheeba, pet name Sheeba a Blue Burmese

We continued with the above cats for a time then we enlarged our breeding numbers.  We purchased a second stud as Star was sold back to his original owner. 

Brampet Arioch know as Arioch is a Blue Burmese.  He produced some lovely kittens although didn’t give all the colours we were hoping for.  He became our “teaser” and is still a working boy.

We purchased a beautiful stud boy Shinjamau Starbuck to replace him.  Starbuck was a seal Burmese carrying all the cololurs including the cinnamon gene.  We were very happy with him. 

As our  new stud carried the cinnamon gene were also purchased another queen.  This time we purchased Lessintine Xtra Spicy a cinnamon Mandalay. 

We continued breeding beautiful kittens with the stock we had and even kept a couple of kittens from Sheeba from a mating done to a stud outside our programme.

The kittens we kept were Easternstar Maximillian, pet name Max a  Seal Burmese and Easternstar Milo, pet name Milo a Chocolate Burmese.

In January 2006 we decided to stop breeding as it became  to overwhelming.  We sold all our stock getting our beautiful Starbuck neutered and re-homing him as a pet.  The queens all except Max and Milo were spayed and sold as pets.

I shed many tears as they all left home.  It was a heart wrenching time for me.  Max, Milo and Arioch went to live with a new Burmese Breeder.

Well in 2007 it all started again.  I just missed the cats and kittens too much.  We arranged to purchase three new kittens to grow as a breeding Queens.  You will see photos and the names of these queens on the Queens Page.

We were also contacted by the person that had purchased Max, Milo and Arioch to say she could no longer keep the cats due to her personal health issues so we were able to buy them back.

Sadly the beautiful Seal Stud boy we purchased proved not to carry the chocolate gene.  He has been replaced by another beautiful Seal Burmese carrying both the Blue and Chocolate genes.  You can see the new stud boys details and photo on the Stud page.

Over the few years we have been breeding we have had many joyous times and also a few tears.  Burmese steal your heart and when they leave you to go to another home or Pussy Cat Heaven they break your heart.

We still have our pet boy Teal'c and he has now been joined by a Blue Burmese sister called “Mouse”.  She is also chatty and friendly and full of mischief.
