Picture above US!

BADSWORTH  is  registered with the following cat associations GCCF/UK,  TICA, NEOCATS Nederland

 

 

We are Debbie and Amber

both of us have been around cats all our lives.. I started Breeding cats in 1978

Amber obtained her own GCCF Prefix 4 years ago, but with us no longer living in the UK she hasnt used it yet but she will register the name with Neo cats when her own cats eventually breed.

 

We originate from the UK but have now lived in Germany for 2 and a half  years

 

Our house is situated on the edge of a forest, which goes on for many miles this is also a preservation area for birds.

I started with Siamese as show neuters , then breeding I also had British Shorthairs as pets,

 I then purchased 2 BSH bred queens and have never looked back.

The Siamese I had for many years but they were the old fashioned type with heads similar in type to a British shorthair female. I do still hanker for a Siamese but not the slender ones that are bred today.

 

The British Shorthair is, and always will be one of my favourites, our cats are all English line's, there is no silver in the lines and some of my lines dont have Colourpoint

 We also are proud of the fact that any Persian that was put in originally to produce the colourpointed, is now 16/17 Generations back in just a couple of the pedigrees.

I very rarely let my boys be used at stud, but I will under the right circumstances, let a boy go for stud, and my rules are simple but firm this boy when he has been finished with must be neutered before and if he has to be rehomed..

 

I was after seeing them at a show,  smitten with Abyssinians hence them being here my favourite colour is Lilac followed by the sorrel.

 

I bought a Selkirk rex in 2005, after first being introduced to them in 2000 by a breeder in Austria who bought my Chocolate Boy  Ch Badsworth Simply the best for breeding with her own Selkirk's..

 I was smitten but they where way beyond my price range at the time... so Save and Save I did

 I purchased  a black tortie van Longhair but sadly she died not long after she came to us, so back to square one! more saving and along came Chanel our Black tortie girl, she will be our foundation girl and then it will be wait and see.

 

Maine Coons, I have always loved these cat, they are beautiful animals, I had seen and handled them at shows while stewarding and was very much in love but never thought we would have one, I am actually allergic to some of the longhaired cats, but when you have been stewarding all day for a semi longhair longhair judge's  you dont know which.

 but Maine coons British shorthairs Somalis, and Balinese I know are not them.

  I came here and my friends Niels and Hanneke's cat Sylvester decided that he must just have the wonderful Ursa and that as they say was that, Niels and Hanneke where unaware of this meeting, until Ursa started to put a lot of weight on... and well you know the rest. having met and handled Sylvester and Ursa during visits to their home I knew that the kittens would be wonderful with fabulous temperaments... so Athene when she arrived was booked... she was to be the only one... a pet only with the option for Amber to have kitten's if she wanted... that was until I met her sister Aphrodite.... and then we had two... what did we let our selves in to they are double THE  trouble... 

but what they do in their naughty time they make up for in their loving time they are beautiful cats.... we soon hope to add a beautiful boy to our collection and then they will be complete

That's a little bit on us, hope you enjoy the website...

 

 

We have a lot of work to do on our new house  and so we will let you see pictures here of our attenpts to make this house a home with the garden and of course some things about us.and our Holiday trips... when we can leave all ths behind...
