| Peaches
was born in the USA and her breeder was Debra Jensen from a
tiny cattery there. I remember seeing her advertise a
blue & white male kitten and, to cut a long story short, she
sent the boy to me and with him arrived Peaches - as a gift
as she was going to pet her out.
I
absolutely adored Peaches the minute I saw her. Short
little stocky body, huge copper eyes, tiny ears, huge coat
and a HUGE purrsonality. She walked into my house and
ruled the roost until the day she passed on, and I fondly
dubbed her "Mrs Mind-Your-P's-&Q's]. Peaches was my
constant bed companion and slept in-between the pillow and
the bed stand, and purred me to sleep every night. She
kept her eye on the kittens and their moms and sorted out
anyone that was a little too cheeky for her liking and made
sure that the babies kept on the straight and narrow.
Her very
first litter was sired by SPCH Stanwick Proud Moment of
L'Exquisite NQ and from that litter SPCH L'Exquisite Count
Pushkin was born. He went on too become CFSA Ruby Cat
2001 and CFSA's very first Persian winner of COTY 2002.
Her second
litter produced me 2 kittens - a solid cream and a cream
cameo called SPCH L'Exquisite Chablis. Chablis went on
to produce Triple SPCH L'Exquisite C'est Si Bon of Tres
Jolie, SPCH L'Exquisite C'est Si Belle and GRCH L'Exquisite
Tres Bon. This entire litter was a milestone for me as
C'est Si Bon was CFSA Kitten Of The Year 2005; his sister
[Belle] was CFSA Ruby Cat 2005 and the entire litter was
CFSA Litter Of The Year 2005. In 2008 C'est Si Bon was
CFSA Cat Of The Year.
Peaches 3rd
litter game me a singleton baby I called Insousience and she
produced [amongst others] L'Exquisite Mystique of Tres Jolie
who was CFSA's Runner-up Neuter Of The Year 2009 AND SACC
Runner-up Neuter Of The Year 2009.
Peaches
also fostered a litter of 3 kittens when their mother died
[despite having a litter of 4 of her own!] and from that
litter SPPR L'Exquisite Beau Monde was SACC Cat Of The year
2006.
Peaches
became a DM easily and her very last litter [before her
spay] produced Triple SPCH L'Exquisite Le Bonheur NW who
became CFSA CAT OF THE YEAR 2011.
Peaches was
the most remarkable cat and has impacted my life in just so
many ways that it is difficult to describe.
I miss her
every single day - my little "Golden Goose". I will
never forget you. |
