moved to Acton about a year ago specializes in breeding Balinese cats which she describes as a type of long haired cat that evolved from the Siamese breed They are beautiful even though I say so

fixed she said That way the owner will have less pro blems to worry about Breeders should only breed their females once a year to ensure good quality cats shesaid is like mutilating a cat Teach thera to use a good scratching post and they keep off the furniture she said You can not show a cat that declawed she added Kittens should have their shots before they are weeksold and then receive booster shots with their annual checkup shesaid On misconception she has been trying to correct is that female cats are more loving than males and they re not Both male and females are just as loving but it depends on the in dividual cat Some are natural show cats grooming themselves before the judges approach and some are beautiful enough to be show cats but are also too nervous she said Ms Turner breeds the cats under a company name The name was derived from her four granddaughters names is comprised of herself and her husband William Turner although she does receive some help from her grand daughters The company breeds only Balinese cats The name Balinese came about because of the cats graceful movements which reminded pioneer breeders of dancers from the Island of Bali Ms Turner noted The come in the same four colors of the Siamese cats sea point blue point lilac point and chocolate point she said The silky fine- textured coat is much different to the thick double coat of other long haired cats she noted using a Persian cat bred by Shirley Gunter of Brampton as an example Because the cat coat lies so closely to its skin and does not have a thick undercoat it sheds very little and needs very little grooming Balinese are loving parents usually sharing in the care of the four to six litter of kittens she noted Viewing Ms Turner s cats will be relatively easy since they
