Hello!


Today we brought home two British Shorthair kittens. They are brothers from the same litter, and there names are Lionel and Gus.

Lionel is a 'lilac colour point' (white with lilac on his nose, ears and tail)

Augustus, "Gus" is a 'lilac self' ('self' means that have a uniform colour)




For years now - I have been looking at photos and YouTube clips of the BSH (British short haired) and had completely fallen in love with them. After spending quite a bit of time looking at breeders... we decided on Felesamor (based in Dartford, Kent). Although we have never had pedigree cats before we can honestly say that every dealing we had with the breeder has been amazing.

It's easy to see from the website alone that they are extremely professional and experienced. In addition we received a brilliantly information book (written and compiled by Felesamor), pedigree certificates, veterinary documentation, food packs and vouchers, insurance for a limited period... and invaluable advice.

The plan was just to acquire Gus - but when we went to pick him up - we learned that the intended buyer of his lilac-point brother had backed out.

We had considered getting a fellow cat to keep Gus company - and well ... when we learned his brother was available we were pretty helpless to resist.

So here they are Lionel and Gus... watch them grow up and learn about the beautiful British Shorthair cat breed!
