These strange, funny creatures
entered in my life just by chance, I have always loved the animals,
especially cats, since I was a child I have dealt with cats and
feline colonies, earning the nickname of "lady cat". Passed whole
days to follow the cat with the disappointment of my mother who said
that I had never happy, I wanted to save the world. I could always
take them and this was the greatest gratification for me ... but one
day... My parents gave me a special gift, that would unknowingly
marked my life ... I was donated by my parents a couple of Persian
cats, and from there was born my passion for breeding ... this
clearly matured into adulthood, when it became very determined start
to breed after a huge pain ... the death of my father ... my bigger
reference point ... a key person for me that I was deeply attached,
which I taught life with absolute humility and wisdom, who managed
to send me but this sensitivity, this obstinacy, this inner strength
that I will not abandon. A man rare, unique, wise and cultured of
which I feel every day of my life will lack even a many years ...
Clearly, my choice fell on the Persian cats that I knew very well
and I breeded this wonderful race for several years, not without
sacrifices and disappointments, but basically I learned to manage my
pain and above all to stop trying to give an answer to everything
and "Cohabit" with life and death. One day, talking with a dear
friend of a difficult period that was crossing my older child, she
hints at these wonderful elves and said that the presence of one of
them would certainly be beneficial for his situation ... then I
watched some of these cats with interest for their very particular
look, but certainly did not know their particular character!
Cristina, my friend, had owned a few devons and described me as
strange fantastic creatures able to give affection and a physical
presence like no other cat can do, told me that these cats live in
symbiosis with their master, pretending to sleep in the bed and to
stay in arms how many possible to establishing a relationship of
morbid love. At first I was slightly sceptical, I sad to me “as a
cat is another”, but part of me was very curious, so I started the
research to the right kitten for us. After several months I chose a
female of 5 months to bring it home we had to do more than 10 hours
travel by car this kitten did all the way back into my arms, purring
wrapped in her cover. The emotion that I felt was such that not even
describe and so I felt that something was changed. Of course, after
her arrival, everything seemed more beautiful and it was no longer
possible to do without it, we finally found the cat of our dreams!
From there I decide to start to breed them up was short, but it was
not short to realizing the whole. It took a long time to study,
document, learn as much as possible on breed and everything that I
know, informations not easily available due to the reluctance of
many breeder even to answer a few emails. I bought my first couple
of devon, but my project did not take the flight because people just
don’t really correct to me, "breeder" whose only purpose was to
sell. The disappointment was so great that for a period I shelved
the idea, until I felt myself ready and full of energy again. When I
saw Coco, I knew that the moment had arrived! Coco is a girl of
great beauty, consisting of the very special character, and she came
in a very difficult time of my life since I was dealing with my
separation and health problems, and gave me a love so great as to
make everything a little 'less hard. I look the Devon like Arabic
Phoenix, because it meant rebirth. Rebirth of myself, of my life, in
fact shortly after I met the love of my life, and everything began
to take color and serenity. I keep on allied with him to raise these
little goblins, hoping that each of their ports a ray of light in
someone's life, as has happened to me! I want to thank a few people
before I conclude ... My love, thanks for everything you do for me,
thanks for all the love that I feel you in every moment, in every
little thing you do, thanks to support me, encourage myself in every
moment, thank you for me finally feel alive and to dream with me,
because you taught me that the dreams may become a reality, you just
have to want with all my heart. I love you! Valentino, Filippo and
Francesco, are my 3 stars, that fill my days with your smile and
your zest for life, managed to give me the strength to go forward
even in black days, I could not imagine most of you, with your small
gestures often do, I understand what are simple things that really
important. Tatta, has a very important part in my life, you're much
more than a sister, I find it difficult express in words how well

so much love our cattery, for always be at any time and feel free to

more beautiful and special. As last but not least, thank you Dad,

are, good and bad, for this stubbornness that leads me up basically,

in all its forms, but especially for giving me the great privilege
of being your daughter. |
