Cheryl and Gerald We used to breed and show Samoyed dogs and also owned two pedigree cats, a Burmese and a Foreign Black. In 1980 we were witnesses at a road accident in Hampshire, when we were called to court we stayed at a Guest House where the owner bred Foreign White cats, she asked us if we had ever seen an Abyssinian, the answer was "No" so we were taken to see hers, we were immediately hooked and asked if we could have a kitten when available.

On returning to Blackpool a relative living with us became ill and we realised we would be unable to travel back to Hampshire in the foreseeable future., Looking in Fur and Feather, as it was then, we saw that an Abyssinian Female Kitten was for sale in Blackpool we went to see her and immediately fell in love with Lyndyke Brandy Snap who became our founder queen, she was already booked into the Chester and North Wales show so we went with her, she had an all red day and was nominated for BIS. The rest is history! We are now onto her Grt. Grt. Grt. Grt. Grandchildren. Abyssinians certainly win your hearts and change your lives forever, but definitely for the better. Now take a look at the Rymiat Tribe!!
