*OUR CATTERY*
When the first Balinese girl came to live with us, we have completely folen in love with these exceptional cats. Their deep blue eyes follow us everywhere and we can't imagine any more our life without them. They acompaign us everywhere in the house, they assit in every our activity. They adore receiving visitors and try to be allways in the center of attention. They are curious and open to new experiences, they allways need to explore some new things and to know new people and places. The oriental temperament is what we really adore about Balinese and Orientals cats and would not exchange these breeds for any other.
		Enything you do, you do it with Viola Basics of our cattery Our cattery is and will remain an amatorial little cattery. Our main principle is to guarantee the best possible life condition for our cats. It means, satisfy all their needs in order to breed healthy and happy cats which feel comfortable in people company. Apart from food, comfort and cleanness, they absolutely need human attention and love and we dedicate them all the time out of our professional life. *For us the breeding and showing cats is a hobby, one which suits our temperaments and lifestyle.*
Krzysztof sleeping on the sofa - never without a cat breeding program *Our main breeding target is to breed Balinese and Oriental Longhair (Mandarin) possibly most close to the breed standard of Siamese and Orientals. For this reason we will sometimes breed with shorthair cats (SIA and OSH) to better type for our longhair cats. The variants (shorthair cats longhair gene carriers) are very important for our breeding program. OUR COLOR SPECIALITIES* *BALINESE: all classic colors of point with special preference for tortie and red point cats. Sometimens also tabby points. We are going also to breed the foreign white Balinese.* *ORIENTAL LONGHAIR (MANDARIN/javanese): for the moment we concentrate on solid colors and tabby.* HEALTH CARE *The cattery is constantly under supervision of veterinary doctors.* *Our cats are regularly vaccinated and dewormed, and tested for FIV & FELV (negative).*
UK is a playful boy (during a show in Krakow on June 2005)		CAT SHOWS *We are breeding quite rare cats*, both Oriental Longhair and Balinese are unknown for the large public. It's the reason why we consider the cat's show attendance an important element of our breeding activity. The participation to the cat show is an opportunity to speak with show visitors and to tell them about Balinese and to exchange experiences with other breeders. We are very happy if by the way our cats get sometimes some title or some trophy.
