Important News - Please Read:

I have been contacted by my local authority who were doing a 'survey' on cat-breeding businesses in Cardiff. Firstly I have informed them that this is a hobby but not a business. I am happy to report that I gladly complied with their request and have had them inspect the cattery and cats and all the conditions and care of my cats and that they were very pleased with the inspection.

What I am concerned about was that if this was classed as a business, then this would be leading to taxation and legislation or at least an increase in council tax. From the many questions that they asked, it was clear that this survey was carried out with monies given by the Welsh Assembly and is a way of gathering information, primarily under the Animal Welfare Act of 2006 (which became law in 2007 in Wales) but with a view to possibly regulating us further. I appreciate that there are unscrupulous breeders out there and I did say that only bona fide breeders will invite them in and the dodgy ones will resist or ignore the directive.

If other breeders want to know more about this and the questions that they asked, please get in touch with me via my website or on 07900 167933.

Regards

Lyn

I have had a passion for Persian Cats for most of my life, as when I was born we had a fluffy domestic tabby and white pet cat. The fact that she was extremely bad-tempered never put me off, but it was not until 1983 that I bought my first pedigree Persian, a blue-cream. My prefix Orbis which followed was, I think, pre-destined for me as I had dreamed of it!

I specialise in pure blue and pure dilute pedigrees, and also breed beautiful whites and bi-colours. I have some unique pedigrees, including Fortina, one of the foremost pure blue pedigrees, courtesy of the late Nancy Lewis, and South Paw (American breeding) behind some of my cats, courtesy of Jenny Nicholas. I also still have a great great granddaughter of the very first Persian I every had.

I am a judge in the GCCF and also enjoy exhibiting, where I have had some successes in all colours, so I think I have the best of both worlds! I like both open faced and ultra Persians and judge according to the standard and the overall look of the cat. Every cat is different and unique and all have good and bad points, it is just a question of balance as long as there are no defects.

My cattery is spacious and my cats have the benefit of outdoors and inside accommodation, with trips around the garden when I am there. They are loved and wanted and every one is my pet, as I tend to keep my oldie neuters.

I have a fantastic family of two children, three step children, three grandchildren and three step grandchildren, besides my long-suffering husband Peter who is so supportive of me.

Along the way, I have met some wonderful people who have become friends, and owe a lot to friendship. Long may it continue and flourish.
