Breeder of third generation Minuet and Minuet Tall cats, the pride of cat lovers, and the kings and queens of the cat world.

Claude’s tenth litter was his first with our #1 Minuet LH internationally (2020), Supreme Grand Champion Blueskies Sydney Clawsby of Tiny Lions. It was her first litter altogether and we were excited to see what these two champions could produce.  What an amazing assortment of kittens they gave us. The first was a tall chocolate lynx point girl, Penny – absolutely beautiful. The second was a tall red mackerel tabby and white boy, Milo. He was the lover of the crew. The third was a red classic tabby and white short boy, Tigger. The last kitten was a red silver shaded tabby tall boy, Henry. He is a stunning kitten and will make a remarkable cat. Congratulations to Sydney for taking the reins over from Bing.

First Litter, born March 12, 2020

Claude’s eleventh litter was his second with our #1 Minuet LH internationally (2020), Supreme Grand Champion Blueskies Sydney Clawsby of Tiny Lions. It was her second litter altogether and we were thrilled that the winning combination continued with this litter.  I was amazed that the four kittens born to the happy couple were different color combinations than their first litter.  However, we lost one kitten at around two and a half weeks old, leaving us only three beautiful babies.  The first is a chocolate silver shaded classic tabby with stunning blue eyes!!  She is a tall girl and was named Evie. The second is a tall red silver shaded lynx point boy, Max. The third is a darling torbie lynx point short girl, Maya.  Congratulations to Sydney and Claude.

Third Litter, born May 7, 2021

Sydney’s third litter was a singleton kitten.  Only one, but what a stunning little boy he is.  He is a red lynx point Minuet tall male with piercing blue eyes, who his new pet parent named Mochi. I had the opportunity to show Mochi as a kitten in New Traits on our long road to get Minuet Talls accepted into championship in TICA.

Sydney’s fourth litter was with Claude and was born October 13, 2021.  They produced two beautiful kittens, one of which I was hard pressed not to keep for myself. That one was a spectacular chocolate tortie and white short girl. She would have been my next show kitten–if I was looking for a girl to keep. But at the time, I didn’t know that I was going to lose Claude as a stud soon, so I let her go to a home. The other kitten was a lovely red tabby and white short boy. So beautiful.

Fourth Litter, born October 13, 2021

Sydney’s fifth and last litter was with Claude and was born July 15, 2022. She was supposed to have two kittens. One was born perfectly but the second was stillborn and not properly formed. This caused me extreme distress about Claude’s ability to continue to breed and he was eventually retired as our first and only stud on September 7, 2022. But his last litter–his last kitten ever–was a stunning red and white classic tabby short boy with an incredible personality.  I will truly miss the kittens that Claude gave us, but we move on now with our second stud, Peter Fursberg.

Sydney never did breed with Peter and could not produce any kittens from a borrowed stud. We decided that she was done and we had her spayed.
