| Just a
little about some of our neuters, who are of equal importance in our
household. Some of our neuters stay with us forever but, if we feel that
they would benefit from being in a household with fewer cats, we
sometimes let them go to carefully selected homes. |

GRAND CHAMPION
KOPERKAT AMBER CRYSTAL (23A)
Sorrel Abyssinian
Pedigree
Amber's first litter
Amber's second litter
Amber's third litter
Amber's last litter
Amber has had a fantastic show career so far,
including Overall Best in Show at the Bucks. Oxon & Berks. Cat Club show
2001 when she was only four months old! She made Champion in three shows
and has made Grand Champion in five shows!
Amber has the "Aby look" that attracted me to the breed and I fell in
love with her as soon as I saw her at only four weeks old - I just
thought she was absolutely stunning.
She has a superb temperament, easy going nature and just takes
everything in her stride, including motherhood!

CRYSTALPAWS LILAC GHOST (23D)
Lilac Abyssinian
Carries sorrel
PK def normal
DNA PRA tested normal
Pedigree
Ghost's first litter
Ghost's second litter
Ghost's third litter
Ghost's fourth litter
Ghost's fifth litter
Ghost's sixth litter
Ghost's seventh litter
Ghost, who was born on Halloween, is the great grand daughter of our
foundation queen Becha. She has a lovely lilac colour
and has no necklaces or barring.
Ghost has a really sweet temperament and is generally very laid back.
She was an absolutely fantastic mother but we decided
after seven litters, and finally giving us a lovely lilac daughter,
Star, she deserved a rest!
Ghost now lives with one of her sons as she was being bullied by some of
the younger girls - she now lives the life of luxury being a soppy lap
cat!!

CRYSTALPAWS RED BLAZE
(23F)
Pedigree
PK def normal
DNA PRA tested normal
Blaze is Joe and Mosaic's
son and is a beautiful red Abyssinian. He has no barring or necklaces and a
fantastic personality. He is a really cuddly purry boy. We hoped that he
would help with our sex-linked breeding but as he wasn't happy as a
stud, we decided to neuter him. We had hoped to keep him as a neuter but
he was far too dominant and started attacking some of the other cats, so
when the right home came along, where he could be on his own, we felt
that it was better for him to let him go - he is now much happier being
spoilt on his own!

GRAND
CHAMPION ABYCHAT BLUE THUNDER (23C)
Pedigree
Storm carries sorrel
PK def normal
DNA PRA tested normal
Storm is a blue Abyssinian. He has
a fantastic temperament and lovely type. He was a wonderful introduction to
the Crystalpaws household and all the girls fell in love with him!!
Storm won his first Challenge Certificate aged one year and at
his following two shows won the other two to make him Champion! Storm is now
a Grand Champion having won three Grand Challenge Certificates in three
shows!
Although Storm is now neutered, his genes continue in his daughters, who we
are breeding from.

FLAMSTONE
CRYSTALMOSAIC
(23T)
Usual Tortie Abyssinian
PK def normal
DNA PRA tested normal
Pedigree
Mosaic's first litter
Mosaic's second litter
Mosaic was our first sex-linked Abyssinian and has really pretty tortie
markings (unfortunately she always closes her eyes when I take a picture
of her!!!). She has a lovely temperament and is not afraid of anything.
Unfortunately, Mosaic decided that she hated all the other girls after
she had her first litter! We always put our cats needs first, so when
some people who were having her son fell in love with her too, we
decided that she would be far happier being a pampered pet with no other
female cats. It was a really hard decision as she is the most loveable
cat that you could wish for.
Mosaic went to two shows and won two Merit Certificates! |

CRYSTALPAWS SIENNA STORM
(23A)
Sorrel Abyssinian
Carries dilute
PK def normal
Pedigree
Sienna's first litter
Sienna's second litter
Sienna's third litter
Sienna's fourth litter Sienna is
Deedee and Storm's daughter and is a
real people cat - her favourite place to sleep is on our bed! She has a
really sweet temperament, a lot like her mum but with a little of her
dad's stubbornness mixed in!
She has a really lovely rich sorrel colour and no necklaces or bars.
Sienna has won two Challenge Certificates in two shows!! We decided to
neuter Sienna because, although she is an extremely loving cat to us,
she is not the best mother! Sadly she also doesn't get along with many
of our other girls and makes herself and them unhappy, so she is now a pampered pet with two of Mira's
kittens as she prefers male cats!

CRYSTALPAWS CINDER-TOFFEE
(23AS)
Sorrel silver Abyssinian
Carries dilute
PK def normal
Both parents tested PRA normal
Pedigree
Cinders' first litter
Cinders is Storm and
Crystal's daughter. We'd been waiting for Crystal to produce a nice
silver female for a while. When Cinders was born we didn't think she was
silver for the first couple of weeks but then her undercoat suddenly
went silver!! She has an amazing personality and purrs all the time -
she loves to help us on the computer.
Unfortunately, a few months after her first litter, Cinder's developed
acute renal failure. She has recovered well but we decided that it was
best to not breed from her and she will stay with us as a much loved
pet.
