In the winter of 2003 I went to England with a fellow breeder to look at some Tonkinese kittens. At one of the catteries we went to visit, Tyrius Tonkinese, I was totally enchanted by a Blue Tortie Burmese girl. From that moment on I felt that I also would like to have such a sweet tempered and beautiful cat. I searched the websites of English catteries and soon realized, that Blue Tortie is not a color that is seen very often and that a lot of English breeders wouldn't sell abroad and/or for breeding. I also looked at some European breeders but at that point no one seemed to have a Blue Tortie girl.
I had mentioned to some friends that I was looking for a Blue Tortie Burmese and then, quite unexpectedly one of those friends called me and told me that she knew of a breeder in Lucerne who had a little Blue Tortie of about 4 weeks, but that normally she wasn't keen on selling her kittens for breeding. I decided to visit her anyway and she was very friendly. She had two litters and I fell a little in love with a Cream boy who climbed onto my shoulder and played with my hair. The Blue Tortie girl wasn't very interested in me.
The breeder grilled me quite thouroughly and after some more visits she agreed to let me have the little girl and also that I could breed Tonkinese kittens from her. When I took her home she stepped out of the kennel very confidently and from that moment on she has become very affectionate and she starts to purr at the slightest touch.
Though from the first moment I had seen her I knew that I wanted to have her, I was also very happy to discover that on her fathers side she has quite a few Burmese from English bloodlines in her pedigree.
