| Uschi of
cattery Iz Ermitage, thank you for this girl, our first Siberian Cat. We
have no words to express how special she is to us.
|
| Born 1st of November 1998
|
Died September 28,
2006

Only 14 weeks old and already quite used
to live in our house... Ivar and Einar took it upon them to teach the
little stranger proper Norwegian and made her feel right at home. They did
a great job, Tasha is at ease with us!
Her coat is smooth as silk, if she wants to escape there's no way holding
on to her. Though her ghost markings are quite heavy, she has developed a
great smoke.
|
| Tasha has got the most beautiful green
eyes with no other color in them.
|
| About six months old in
this picture and still heavy in ghost marking.... She loves to roam the
garden, looking for bugs and mice, playing with the other cats, or just to
hang about. After the first summer in the sun, her fur had a lilac shine
over it. This got her some remarks at shows, but this year I was able to
point out, that a reddish shine was not as bad as a lilac one! I could
try and keep her out of the sun..... How do you do that, when a cat is in
love with thermal radiation? |
|
| This is a
good example of a Siberian Cat, who is not extremely typical for her breed. Her head
is too narrow, her ears are not standing wide enough and she doesn't have
the heavy bone structure she should have. Her hair may have the
right texture, but it could be longer, missing the ruff too. She has the
muscles though and more than once the character! She is the superb mom her
breed is famous for, even if she hasn't had kittens of her own
yet.... |
This picture was taken
Febryary 2000, when Tasha had the most gorgeous smoke. She got her second
title (International Champion) in Lüdenscheid at the Koschka show, held
on May 20th and 21st, 2000.
We decided to get her off birth control medication and waited for her to
go into heat. That took quite some time! All in all it took 1.5 years for
her to get pregnant and give birth to her first litter, but they were born
on October 28th 2001, exactly on the date I thought they would come. Father is
Gr.Int.Ch. Iz Ermitage Colja, a seal tabby point stud and very very
beautiful! Visit him at the site of his tin opener: the banner of the Iz Ermitage
