This is the delightful and delectable Elamante Zona Rosa of Gato Bay. She was born in Mexico City on March 5th 2007, and comes to us courtesy of Breeder Lidia Stemberg.)

I am really pleased to have Zona Rosa here with me and am looking forward very much to breeding her in the near future. She has a very sweet and loving personality, a nice solid muscular body, nice ears, nice head, tons of ticking, and seriously green eyes!

This lovely girl is Elamante Cibeles of Gato Bay, also one of Lidia's breeding. Cibeles was born in September 2006 and is sired by our own On Safari out of IW Elamante Nefthys.

Cibeles has the strong well-proportioned body that I like to see in a female. She is extremely affectionate and gentle, effortlessly patient with the other animals, and loving to a fault.

Cibeles has nice ears, a good head and body, excellent clarity, excellent ticking, and strong warm colour coming in. Cibeles will be bred SOON - so watch this space!

This is Ruddicats N'Gozi goes to Paris, bred by me and born April 24th, 2005. N'Gozi is a truly exceptional mother, absolutely dedicated to the welfare and happiness of her kittens. Her mother is Murteza African Violet (now happily living in Kentucky with Melanie of Alotakatz Abyssinians), and her father is Ruddicats Maximus Orilious, owned by good friends Sylvia and Mark Phoenix of Phoenixabys. N'Gozi is clear and VERY colourful, healthy as a horse, sweet and loving, what more could I ask for?

This is the newest addition to Gato Bay Cattery. Her name is Hopscotch LucyintheSky of Gato Bay , and she was bred by my good friend Christie Knight of Hopscotch Abyssinians. Lucy was conceived the same evening that one of my favourite cats died, so I like to think that my old Aby has come straight back! Lucy is a very pretty little kitten with the most loving personality I have ever come across. Her sire is On Safari and her Dam is the lovely Hopscotch On the Fly.

Last but not least comes the ancient and revered Ruddicat's Tinkerbell . She was bred by me many years ago and owned by our late and very dear friend Birdie, who relied on Tinkerbell to keep her spirits up after the sad death of both her husband and her only child. Tinkerbell came back to live with us following Birdie's own passing.She spends most of her time snoozing, occasionally waking up long enough to smack a passing kitten, and retains her taste for very expensive cuts of steak. Thanks, Birdie!
