In Memoriam

Champion Kititas Portiaof Darktower - Poshie.

Sire: Coonyham Wrangler x Dam: Kassaro Constanse.

2000-2005

Poshie was born in July 2000 and we waited over a year for her. She was a truly beautiful cat, who thought she was really something (hence the name!).  Always into mischief, we created a sweetie jar on the hearth for her and still many cats and kittens enjoy eating from the jar, even if its only the same treats as what's in their biscuit bowls!

 

 

 

Premier Darktower Macavity

Sire: Belujondra Montezuma X Dam: Ch & Pr Noracoon Tiberia

2002 - 2006

Mackie was  a real softy, he was one of 5 white kittens, of which 4 survived. He loved people and was the life and soul of of the cats. He was very mischievous and often the start of any naughtiness in the house, specially climbing on the mantelpiece or up the curtains!  Unfortunately he developed Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) and died from this condition despite medication and lots of care.  The test for HCM was not available, since it was we have tested all our cats and have now eradicated this from our breeding programme.  He will be sadly missed.

 

 

 

 

Grand Premier Beardwood Thomas OMalley

Sire: Gr. Ch. Coonquest Oscar ofBeardwood x Dam:Matagot Vashti.

1997 - 2009

Tom was the ultimate cat!  He was a very handsome cat with a wonderful personality, and even though he had been very ill with HCM for the past few years, he never lost that commanding presence. He was definitely a mummy's boy and would fret whenever I was away and then be glued to my side.  He would sit next to me on the arm of the couch and stare at me in adoration.  The feeling was definitely mutual!  Thank you to Norrie & Eric Crook for allowing us to have him, we will really miss him.
