News for November 2009

In October we had our Launceston Royal Show, where Skybank Toprank Yank has now gained the Title of CCCA Ch Bronze Gd Ch. He will probably retire from the Show scene once he gains one more Title, which he should achieve by the end of this year.

We have reduced our number of breeding cats, even after the addition of three new imports. Currently we only have one litter of five born, and Betsy is due next week. We are hoping to announce very soon that Serenella & Starburst have been mated.

We are patiently waiting for our gorgeous imports from Europe, and are so grateful to Pascal for the trust he has bestowed on Skybank. I am also grateful to my friends who contacted him-- assuring him of the love and care that will be given them.
We have another show on the 20th of this month, then two Royals in October.
Spring is here, and we look forward to the patter of little feet.

I have just received some very sad news from Dianne & Robin Smith, telling me of the passing of their much loved Silver Tabby Exotic
