Show News
15th December 2007
The Maidstone & Medway show is normally a day I look forward
to. This year it was a bitterly cold day with an icy North-East wind.
The Heating in the show hall was not working and I was glad to get home
after 2 hours. I never thought I would ever get warm again. Fred and I
went back to the show in the afternoon, by which time it had warmed up
a little.
Sargenta Silver Una - silver spotted - was awarded her
2nd CC. Best of Breed an the Imperial went to
GrCh Shimmerclaw Moontyger. He looked lovely as always.
His dam is Ch Sargenta Silver Unique, sister to Una. 1st place in the
spotted male Adults went to Colinswood Silver Henry (CC witheld) and Denzel
came 2nd. The Hall Lighting in the morning was abysmal. It made the cats
look different, especially some of the eyecolour,and a lot of exhibitors
were unhappy about that. During the afternoon Denzel looked like a changed
cat, same clear and lovely silver which he shows outdoors, but in the
morning the lighting made his coat look dull.
Fred insisted in carrying both cat baskets at the end of show
day and managed to fall down the exit`s concrete steps. My Thanks to Sue
Lorton-Hobbs for helping Fred to his feet.
Just to round off the day I had a phone call from Susan to tell
me, that her GrCh Sargenta Silver Minstrel had died shortly after she
got home. It was expected, but still very sad.
Orbituary
1st December 2007
It is with great sadness that I received the news from Cathy
Lavery yesterday that Sargenta Silver Dream (Achilles) was put to sleep.
He was age 18 1/2. His brother Sargenta Silver Dancer (Hector) died in
February this year just one month short of his 18th birthday. The most
amazing thing was, that Dancer had one of his legs amputated at age 6
because of bone cancer, but lived quite happily on three legs for another
12 years. (Dream and Dancer were bred out of Ch Shadowsmine Bilbo and
my Ch Aduesh Leisanna). Both cats were very much loved by Cathy and Kevin
and in later life by their children Daniel and Jack and have left a huge
gap in the family right now. It is a tribute to the Love and Care
they received, that both had such long and happy lives. The card I received
was a lovely drawing of cats called "Forty Winks", how aptly
named and sensitively chosen!
Several of my cats have died this year, all around age 16 and 17. It does show that this breed is quite strong and if treated well, exceeds the average life of around 12-14, much the same as our Native Moggies
On a personal note Fred had another slight stroke on November 12h and with it lost another large chunk of his memory. He is out of hospital and relatively fine now, but again it has made life just a bit more difficult for me. As yet the doctors can not get my Rheumatoid Arthritis under control, all the drugs are making me constantly feel nauseous, quite apart from all the pain. The cats are still my greatest joy, albeit in very reduced numbers. Denzel and Xalvador are getting restless and are looking for some female company!
Supreme Show
17th November 2007
The Supreme is the Premier show in the UK Cat Fanciers calendar and the show piece of the GCCF. Cats have to qualify by winning and Open Class as kittens or a CC or PC at a Championship show licensed by the GCCF. It is a highly competitive show with some excellent cats and strong competition. Winning titles at the Surpreme is therefore very special . The Supreme has ring judging, which is not done at any other GCCF Championship shows.
It gives me great pleasure to congratulate Wayne Vessay with his cat GrCh Sargenta Silver Ursinha - silver spotted
on winning "Best of Variety British Neuter", the UK Grand Premier Certificate and Best of Breed.I wish I could have been there, a truly fabulous achievement.
Susan Knight had a lovely day with GrCh Shimmerclaw Moontyger (GrCh Vinmar Silver Adonis-Ch Sargenta Silver Unique). He was awarded the UK Grand Challenge Certificate. Well done. GrCh Sargenta Silver Ushan came 2nd to Moontyger, well done Debbie. I believe it was neck and neck between these two cats with some excellent others coming third and fourth.
The "UK Grand" is only ever awarded at the Supreme, and at no other show, and is therefore very special. To get the Title of UK Grand it has to be won twice and this is almost impossible.
Helen Nicholson`s Ch Metallicat Silver Badja - silver tabby (ouf of UK GrCh Sargenta Silver Montaego) was awarded her 3rd Grand and was made up to Grand Champion. Helen`s other cat Ch Metallicat Silver Juliet - Silver spotted (out of my GrCh Adentsh Silver Orleando and Ch Silver Badga) was also awarded her Grand Challenge Certificate. This was her first. Well done Helen, well deserved.

A brilliant day for me at the shows today. 5 winners out of 5.
Sargenta Silver Wanda - Silver Tabby- made up to Champion
at the Lincolnshire Show today. At the same show Sargenta Silver
Xemon aka Zazu got his 1st PC.
I was at the East Sussex Cat Club show thanks to Jane driving me in the
morning and Susan taking me and Fred back to the show in the afternoon.
After dropping us and the cats of at home at the end of the show Susan
unfortunately encountered a long delay on the M20 due to an accident and
closure of the motorway and it was 8pm before she got home. I am really
sorry about that, especially as she took us to the show when she had not
entered a cat herself. Without the help of friends I would not have been
able to go to the show and the cats would not have been able to win. I
am really grateful and indebted to both of them.
Sargenta Silver Xalvador, my new silver tabby stud boy,
was awarded his 1st CC and BoB. Dutch Champion Silvergiltcats
Silv Denzel Washington, my other stud boy, was awarded his 1st
UK CC and BoB.
Pr Sargenta Silver Wizzard, silver spotted,
got the Reserver Grand, PC and BoB. All of them were highly placed in
their side classes. Thank you to the owners for showing my cats so well,
especially in July, when the hot weather plays havoc with their coats.
Thank you also to the judges for giving them the awards.
Helen Nicholson`s Metallicat Silver Spida, silver tabby kitten from my Orleando, won her 1st open and BoB. Well done. She looked a really nice kitten as well.
28th June 2007
It is another sad day for me. GrCh Adentsh Silver Orleando was neutered today. Both boys Montaego and Leo have done their share for the silver breeding and have left a legacy with their offspring. Nevertheless I shall miss them greatly.I have founds nice homes for them where, in 3 months time, they will live out their retirement. Owing to permanent ill health I have no choice in the matter, but it is nonetheless extremely
heartbreaking for me. Montaego was neutered on 14th June 2007.
I still have Denzel and my silver tabby boy Xalvador (out of GrCh Ronaldo Silver Coco and Sargenta Silver Whisp). Whisp is a Montaego daughter. Xalvador aka Xollie will hopefully be on the site shortly. His first litter of kittens to Willa are due at the end of July.

very well as both also swollen with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Jane and Hannah are helping with the cats and kittens and all the 10 week

I was delighted to hear from Kathryn Brook that Sargenta
Silver Tristan aka Sylvester was awarded his first CC
and Best of Breed at the Manchester & District Cat Club show
today. This was a wonderful achievement and extra special for both Kathryn
and myself.
Sylvester is a silver Tabby out of my Ch Sargenta Silver Nickel and Ch
Sargenta Silver Poppet. Both are no longer with us and Tristan carries
those lines. Sylvester was born in May 2002 and sold as a pet on the non-active
register to a Tracey Foley in Upminster. I was never at any time
told that he had been passed on and to whom. It has since transpired
that he has had several homes during the last few years and was appallingly
treated. I was even asked by a lady who had bought a white kitten in good
faith for breeding, with Sylvester named as the sire, if I had any information
of Tristan`s owner as she was still awaiting registration papers for the
kitten she bought. Of course she would never receive them as Sylvester
was on the non-active register, but it appears that he was used for mating
and people were duped when buying kittens. Fortunately Sylvester
was finally rescued and now has a loving owner and new family.
Kathryn is a Veterinary Nurse and has managed to get Sylvester into lovely
condition in only 8 month worthy of winning his CC and BoB. He is now
on the active Register and will hopefully produce some lovely silver tabbies
to Kathryn`s future Sargenta queen and others, who are interested in saving
those particular lines. He lives in Warrington and will put him in reach
of some of the Northern breeders who own my cats. I just wish I could
have had him nearer to some of my last few girls this year. I am immensely
proud of this particular show win yesterday. Well done Kathryn!

Congratulations to Pr Sargenta Silver Wizzard.
8th PC and BoB at the Bedford show held at Wood Green Animal Shelter.
He was unplaced in the Grand this time but he is still a very young boy
with a lot of maturing to do. Wizzard did very well with 2nd placings
in his side classes. Thank you Judith and the Duckworth family for showing
him so well.
My friend Susan also had a good show day in Jersey with Ch Shimmerclaw
Moontyger. He was made up to Grand Champion
at the tender age of 15 months. He is a stunning cat and the title is
well deserved. Moontyger is out of GrCh Vinmar Adonis and Ch Sargenta
Silver Unique. Susan is delighted that Moontyger also
won his second consecutive Best in Show. I can`t stress
too highly that this a massive achievement and it takes a really special
cat to do this well consistently.
I have also just heard from Elizabeth of
Cadifee cats that GrCh Sargenta Silver Soprano was
awarded her 2nd Irish Grand Challenge Certificate
at the Supreme show in Ireland on Sunday. Well done, another
lovely cat to be proud of. Elizabeth also did well with one of her other
cats. I am awaiting details when she is back in the UK.
On a personal note my foot is still in plaster after I had broken
it, and was walking and driving with it not realising it had been broken.
As both feet had major surgery done in November and February this has
been very unhelpful to say the least. I have some very good friends in
Hannah, my neighbours daughter and Jane. Both are doing the cats daily
and Jane has taken me out shopping and the cats to the vet for their Caesars
and Spays. My hands are not good with the Rheumatoid Arthritis and I am
still waiting for treatment with the hospital. The NHS is in meltdown
and people with Breast cancer are having to wait 4 months for Radiotherapy.
I am waiting for bloodtests, scans and Chemotherapy treatment
and it might take some time yet for me to get it. There is no reason whatsoever
for me not to carry out my studwork, kittening or look after my cats in
the same way as I have always done and all rumours circulating to the
contrary are incorrect and hurtful. I have however spayed Tracey, Vivian,
Victorianna and Wahini. They are with loving new owners. Victorianna will
leave me after her kittens are reared. Montaego and Orleando will also
be neutered very shortly. They have done their bit for the silver breeding
and deserve their retirement. It is a bit sad that Denzel has not attracted
more interest, as his stunning size and new lines could have done much
to help the gene pool in this Country. Sargenta will
go on for a little while yet, albeit with reduced numbers. The cats have
been my life for 27 years and have left their pawprints on many pedigrees
at home and around the world. They have always made my life brighter for
their presence and are still doing it!

Trip to Paris -
7th February 2007
Thanks to
my friend Susan`s generosity her Christmas present to Fred and I was a trip to Paris. It is one of the major European cities I had never visited. Susan together with her husband Peter had planned this trip with military precision and prebooked everything, thereby turning the whole thing into an enjoyable experience.
We left on Eurostar from Ashford International Station at 8am. My friend Paul, who went to school with my eldest son and whom we have known now for nearly 50 years, took us from Maidstone to Ashford in his Taxi and was there waiting for us at the end of the day. Thank you Paul for the nice ride and the courtesy shown to us. Paul also fixes my computer for me, when I manage to make a mess of it.
We arrived in Paris at 11am European time at the Guard du Nore. From there we went by bus to the Eiffel Tower, where Lunch had been arranged for us. The weather was a little cold and windy, but bright and clear and I managed to get quite a few photos form the Eiffel Tower looking down across Paris.
The Lunch was extremely enjoyable and from there we only had to walk a short way to the River Seine to embark on an hour long River cruise. Many interesting buildings could be seen from the River.
We then returned by a different Bus route down the Champs Elisees lack to the Station for the trip home. I had not told Fred much about the trip beforehand and it was a lovely surprise for him.Thank you Susan and Peter for looking after us so well.
It has often been said that "once one has seen one major Europaen City, one has seen them all!" I can`t agree with this. I grew up in Berlin, and one of that Cities landmarks is the Funkturm. It is very similar to the Eiffel Tower and one can say that the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin could be compared with the Arc du Triomphe, but not so! The building style is vastly different and interesting. Comparing the photos from Brussels, Paris, Amsterdam, Hamburg and Berlin, there is much individuality to be found in each of those Cities, and the Architecture, especially on the older buildings is very different in each of those Cities.They all have Their special individual "Charm". I felt privileged having given this opportunity to see at least some of Paris and found it a fascinating experience! Would have liked a little more time to see Notre Dam in all its Glory.

Ch Silvergiltcats Silv.Denzel Washington
I am happy to announce that "Denzel", my new silver spotted boy, is finally registered with GCCF. He was my Christmas present, which Emmy van Rossum (cattery Muru`s) kindly brought over for me from Holland on 30th December.
Denzel was bred by Anna and Frank of Silvergiltcats in Berlin out of my IntCh Sargenta Silver Sharlene to Marvellous Silver Iberio. The Marvellous prefix belonged to Maria Wellmeyer in Germany, who with the Dutch breeder and International judge Ad de Bruijn (Broeckloni) were the founder breeders and cornerstone of all European breeding for more years than I can remember. I have wanted a kitten from their breed lines since the early 1980`s, but our strict Import regulations had always made this impossible. I never liked kittens in 6 months quarantene in this Country, always thought it was cruel. Denzel still had to wait 6 months to come into the UK, but at least he was with his owner Emmy in home surroundings being spoilt rotten. Denzel had his 2nd birthday on 16th January and will soon be entertaining some of my girls.
