Bowie's story
It all started a good few years ago when Bowie's breeder asked me if I would be willing to send her a kitten, as she had fallen in love with my Tasha and was looking for a descendent to help with the genetic diversity of her cats. I took my time finding just the right kitten for her, but after about 5 years of thinking and planning (!!) I finally sent her Yzzy's son Iggy. Iggy had a whale of a time at Corinne's, being very much the lady's man! In return, Corinne kept an eye out with her kittens, looking for a boy to send me.
Bowie is a very beautiful, big, strong boy with wonderful vivid green eyes and gentle nature. His black coat has been a bit of a revelation, like the very best quality dense, plushy mink and as he has matured has become ever-more handsome - calling this big, handsome lad 'Baby' is a reflection of his sweet, soft nature, not his appearance! Travelling with him was Corinne's magnificent boy Jac, a Supreme Best in Show winner as well as a Diamond Grand Champion! I asked her so many times if she was really sure she wanted to part with him. Although a 'true blue' breeder at heart Bowie is so gorgeous that he is tempting me 'over to the dark side' :) I just adore him.
