Uschi was a heart-stoppingly beautiful cinnamon point queen who came all the way from Holland. We never did manage to have kittens from her but she had the most wonderful, gentle temperament and really loved looking after Freya’s kittens as if they were her own. Her favourite place to be, if there were no kittens to take care of, was snuggled under the duvet having a weekend lie in. Life isn’t the same without her and she is missed every day.

Freya was trusted to me by my good friend Mary Mackenzie – Sproat and had some really lovely kittens, including IGrCh Lojada Persephone (Pixie). Freya had the sweetest personality and Pixie is so like her. She really loved her kittens and was very close to Uschi too. We are grateful to have her daughter to continue her lines – she will be forever missed.
