The Cinnamon colour was introduced in the UK, by breeding a British shorthair Female to a Cinnamon Oriental male.

.I first noticed the British Cinnamon at a show, in 1997 it was still in its very early stages looking more like an oriental cat than a British Shorthair, the owners of the cat at the show where Malcolm and Christine Stephenson, who at the time had no kittens but they informed me that the British shorthair Judge George Gow one of the foundation breeders of the Cinnamons had some so I Purchased my first cat a chocolate from George in 1998

Gowlaren Sarah Vaughn

Lulu was a chocolate self carrier of the Cinnamon gene, she was then mated to

Malsome Moorcroft Boy 15k

Walter a Cinnamon self male, and my current boys great /great granddad their first litter of 7 kittens there were 3 chocolate selfs ,1 Chocolate pointed, 2 Fawn self, 1 Lilac colourpointed.

I kept the Female Self Fawn, and named her Badsworth Enchantress

Chantey went on to gain (3 merits ) She was retired from breeding at the age of 3 after 2 litters

below is her brother here Badsworth Funkie Fergal Lilac Colourpointed

Enchantress First litter

Second litter

Chantey now lives with a wonderful family, in Blackburn UK where she will live her life out as a pet

A year later I acquired a Cinnamon female Malsome omeomyo, (1 Merit ) Now retired

PLUS Boadicat Tommy a blue male carrying the cinnamon gene Now retired

Then Malsome Ratatatat (4 Merits, Qualified ) a Cinnamon Pointed male.

Plus Purrisimo Fawntasy Eowyn a fawn. (1 Merit) bought off Dee Wiley after she purchased Taranut Malsome Mascot, off Malcolm and Christine Stephenson Pictured Below when they finished breeding with her

From some of the cats above I have cats I have Produced many carriers and Visuals I kept some of them to progress

one of them being my wonderful Badsworth Lucretius, the comments on Lucretius "Rupert" from some British shorthair Judges in the UK was one of the best Cinnamons to be seen on the bench,

Rupert has a wonderful colour of Cinnamon, and his coat is sound to the roots.

(4 Merits Qualified)

Rupert is now living with George Gow in Edinburgh, where he is 2005 sired a wonderful litter of Chocolate and Cinnamon Tabby kittens

With the help of a Chocolate Tabby Girl, who came to us for stud... when I took he back to her owner I offered Rupert to George on Loan, but decided that I have his son Lucius and George could keep him

Lucretius is the father of 3 Children which caused a lot of upset in the Cinnamon and fawn Breeding programme, in the UK.

One of his children was homed with Malcolm Stephenson, Badsworth Laurentia a female. ( Which because he thought WRONGLY!!! that because of an error on the part of the GCCF that she couldn't be bred from he Neutered her at 5 months old...but when the GCCF admitted their mistake he was then VERY VERY disappointed, but not as disappointed as me in him... I was thoroughly disgusted with him.. for not keeping to the basic rules of breeding and offering her back to me... before he neutered here...

one boy went off to Dee Marsland Round Badsworth Liberius,

Dee will use him in her future breeding programme and one kept by us Badsworth Lucius pictured below this picture does not do justice to the rich colour of Cinnamon he is I will when the weather is better picture him in true sunlight where you can see that he is a wonderful warm Cinnamon colour.

Lucius above plus the cats listed below are the cats that will progress now and produce the Badsworth cinnamon and Fawns OF THE FUTURE

The whole process of this breeding programme is to improve the British Cinnamon/Fawn Type and Colour, and putting Visual to visual all the time is not going to be the way forward neither is just breeding the dilutes, as in Fawn and the carriers Lilac.

The dominant colours like Black/Seal/ and soon Red Play a very important part in this process and with out doing this the whole process could go backwards, this is the process across all colours of British not just Cinnamon and Fawn.

This is one of the main reasons for the lack of Eye colour in both self and Colourpointed British and the poor quality coat, and one that we hope not to be continued within the Cinnamon and Fawn breed programme.

Currently I have, I hope a pure self line, despite having Colourpointed in the background, I have test mated the parents 5 times to both self's carrying the Colourpointed gene and to full Colourpoints and have not to date produced a colourpointed, although this is a dominant gene and can if a similar cat is introduced be reproduced I will continue with the self mating only on one side and the Colourpointed on the other, my aim to totally eradicate the Colourpointed gene in my self cats across all my colours but more so the Cinnamon and Fawns.

I have before used the Cinnamon with in the Bi colour breeding but at the time it was not the way forward for me but this is something I will now be pursuing. as well as the British van pattern in this colour.

The following cats are my breeding stock which I will use either to mate to each other or to my other self coloured and Colourpointed cats. to progress further

Here is the First Cinnamon Tabbys to be bred in the UK
