Poppy & Cwen

Imperial Grand Premier Abychat Equinox (Poppy), the first of our beautiful Abyssinians from the Abychat household (thanks Rebecca!) Poppy is a gorgeous sorrel Abyssinian, she loves attention, she has a fantastic temperament and loves going to shows. She has won best of breed on numerous occasions. At her first ever show she had a “red card day” and was voted kitten the judges would most like to take home too! She has enjoyed many 1sts since that day, nothing phases our lovely Poppy, she takes everything in her stride.

Above, Poppy & Cwen on their first full day together, it was a heavenly sight to behold how quickly Poppy accepted Cwen into the family. Below, 3 days after Grayling arrived we have the same scenario, just pure love from Poppy again as she welcomes another youngster into the fold.

Cwen joined our family June 23rd 2012 as our foundation queen. Many thanks to Gina Yates (Naughtypaw Abyssinians) for allowing us to have our beautiful girl. Cwen is a fantastic Usual Abyssinian, who enjoys shows and successfully gained her championship award in 4 shows. At the Abyssinian Cat Association show in April 2013 she was awarded Best adult female – a very proud, and exciting day for us and Gina. photo: by kind permission of Carol Walker

We first met her, and her siblings when they were only three weeks old. She was snuggled up to her mum – little rattily purrs emanating from three furry sausages feeding from Baillee. She didn’t have a name then but Gina told us it would begin with ‘B’. Gina eventually decided upon Boudicca (after the warrior queen) and her pet name, Cwen is an Anglo Saxon word meaning queen. When we brought her home Poppy decided that she was hers and so Cwen was received with open paws.

Cwen has grown into a beautiful big girl much bigger and weightier than her pseudo-mummy   This photograph, and lovely profile shot was taken Christmas 2013.
