I've loved him so much that I wanted to get another kitten, just like him so I that could always have a ball of fluff in my life. So I went looking for the breeder we bought him from and found that she now focuses only on breeding persians and himmies with that peeked faced (his parents were show cats when the traditional look was favored still). I have never been a fan of that smooshed look, or the sounds of those cats struggling to breath. I started researching it and found out that those cats are inbreed (if it's wrong for people to do it, shouldn't it be wrong to do that to our animals?) and discovered all the health problems they can have. So I started my search. I needed to find a traditional faced breeder. I looked for a while trying to find one near me, in the North West. I found one, but her cats just didn't have the beautiful coat my Ribbons does. I wanted a kitten similar to him. Finally one lucky day I stumbled upon the Cozy Kittens website.

Right there in front of my eyes was a picture of a kitten that look EXACTLY like my baby did when he was his younger self. But the breeder lived all the way across the country. I spent a couple of weeks just browsing her site. Looking at all her kittens, and the breeder cats. They were all so beautiful, and I could look right there on the site and see where the cats live (and the pictures of the nursery made me smile) so I finally contacted Sue. I've heard other people say this, and I will to. She really interviewed me more then I did her. I talked to her for 45 min that first time, and hung up knowing that here was a woman who truly did love himmies and persians to the extent that she didn't care about breeding cat that could be in a show ring. She breeds cats that are healthy above all else. Beautiful beyond belief too, but their health comes first to Sue. So I signed up to get another blue point. Sometimes God works in mysterious ways. You can get addicted to Sue's site.

I checked it everyday for updates and to see if any kittens were available that grabbed my attention. Then towards the end of August I saw my Halo Holly. I fell in love. Sue wrote that she had all this energy and an invisible friend that she plays with all by her self. I had to have her. I was nervous about her being shipped across the country, and the wait for her to be ready seemed longer then it really was, but Sue kept sending me pictures and emails almost every day telling me about things Halo was doing to keep me happy. In October Halo came home. Can I tell you, Sue really does have some kind of "kitty magic" that she spread to each cat she touches. Halo walked right into our house and hearts, tired from her long trip, but not with out any of her spunk. When she met Ribbons she walked right up to him like she had known him all her life and he looked at her like "Hey, you're fluffy like me, I like that". My other cat, Kit-Kat, was more reserved around her, and jealous at first, but now I know I could never separate them.

They play together all day, and most of the night, getting into all kinds of trouble (they almost knocked over the tree together this Christmas;). But when Halo's ready for bed, if we haven't brought her into our bedroom she will meow like crazy till I open the door and let her in, then hops up on her spot on our bed and she's fine. In the mornings she's waiting for me when I get out of the shower, and follows me around like a little shadow all over the house. My two year old son can pic her up and carry her around and she won't fight him. And her purr is the loudest, sweetest, most steady thing I've heard. She has stolen the hearts of everyone who's met her. I can't imagine my life, or our family with out her, or her invisible friend that she did bring with her;). If you are interested in getting a persian or himalayan then you really should buy one that won't have the health problems, nor the pain of trying to breath when you have almost no nose.

When it comes to breeders of the traditional look, Sue is the best. Her kittens are a testament of how much she loves every cat that enters her home.

God has truly blessed her with the gift of furry purry kitty magic. I definitely recommend that you get your own ball of fluff. The love that you feel when you look into their eyes is worth everything to me.
