Holly's Story

Holly was the only kitten of Esaya Swansong (Emily's last kitten)... and from a few weeks old Audrey Saye, Esaya Birmans, kept telling me that she was going to come and live with me.  At the time I had said I didn't want any kittens, neuters would do me just fine.... but over the weeks and times I visited, I soon found myself referring to this little bundle of fluff as 'my kitten'.

So why the name Holly.  Well, she became my 2000 Christmas present (to myself).  However her pedigree name was a little harder.  'Sweet' - because her father is called Wispa (the chocolate bar?) and Melody - because her mother was called Swansong.

Holly has very definite views about life.  As a kitten I often thought she sometimes had a death wish, playing vigorously with Spyce's tail!!!... but whilst he occasionally gave her a little warning, he was incredibly tolerant of her.  She in turn became devoted to Spyce, and I often found them cuddled up on the settee next to each other (still do in fact - see photo to the right).

Holly has been shown (she is nicely show marked), but probably partly due to her very independent nature (and possibly her raging hormones), she isn't always comfortable in being restricted in a show pen for 7 hours at a time - she'd rather be out there - investigating the world!

Eventually Holly was mated to Ch Esaya Samson and she produced two gorgeous kittens (Sammy and Fancy).  It seems motherhood is Holly's forte.... she has never been so happy, nor purred so loudly.

Holly had her second litter on 14th March 2003 - this time the father is Gr Ch Esaya Arathorn, a most striking chocolate tabby boy....  a total of two lovely seal boys and one seal tabby boy.!

I did however, really like the original mating with Samson and decided to try Holly again with him.  on Sunday 24th April 2004 four super little seal point babies were born.  Once again she's was a most devoted and caring mother and has brought them up brilliantly.  One in particular, Myssy, is turning out to be a super show girl and has done extremely well as a kitten - I was so proud of her when she won her kitten class at the Supreme - my first show girl winning at the biggest cat show of the year.
