Sophie's story
Sophie was just known as Precious Girl for quite some time, having had a particularly dramatic entry to the world, being born by emergency Caesarean. At the vets I was rubbing the two boy kittens dry, trying not to fret about their mum too much as my vet, the marvellous George King, handed Lorraine (vet nurse) the third and last kitten and she commented that it looked like a girl. 'Be careful' said I, 'that kitten is really precious - she represents the result of over 20 years breeding'. (Well, I was just a little bit overwrought!) Not surprisingly, Lorraine handed the tiny little bundle over to me straight away! - my precious girl Sophie.
Sophie has done amazingly well at shows, winning the title of Champion before she was even a year old. One week later she went off to visit the very handsome Horace, and was pregnant just before her birthday as well. A year later she happily toddled off on her 'holidays' to visit lovely Louis, with equal success. I am happy to say there was no drama attached to the birth of either of her litters of kittens, four beautiful babies in each litter, all a good size at birth, and who all had a textbook upbringing.
There isn't anything you could offer me that would persuade me to part with her. Like her mother Bella she is just so sweet and gentle, with the prettiest little paws and ankles to go along with her pretty ways. {
