Sunday 18 March '07 - A1 Savannahs

am - We have another tasty cooked breakfast, which we think it would be a good idea to walk off, so we have a walk to the nearest shop. Those roads and crossings are something else, i guess you must get used to them. Cynthia gets her photos processed of her two savannahs to show Kathrin and Martin.
1pm - Martin picks us up at our hotel and says he has a surprise for us, but we must stop off for desert first. We stop and pick up a lovely apple pie and banana /cream pie mmmmm. Then we are on our way again.
Look what the surprise is, Joyce, the founder of the Savannah breed has come to meet us. What a lovely lady. She is able to tell us about the Savannahs in the earlier days. Joyce exported a Savannah cat to England years ago, i wonder whatever happened to that Savannah - it would be interesting to know. Joyce looks around the cattery, seeing how the progression of the Savannah breeding is coming along.
We get to see the kittens today, what gorgeous kittens. Two boys that Martin shows us in particular are gorgeous. Long legs, well defined spots, not a rosette in sight! Long nose, strong bone structure, long elegant body. Not a chance he says, they are keeping those boys, well not to worry, it was worth a try. Martin then shows us some gorgeous boys. I'm taken by the golden boy with his extreme look, whereas Cynthia prefers the silver boy with the definition of his markings. Then Kathrin shows us the most beautiful girl and i fall for her, all those individual spots with the horizontal flow. Every kitten we have seen so far has been of different bloodlines. No where else would we have had this wide a gene pool. We are taken back by the high standard and consistency of their Savannahs.
Its time for Joyce to leave, and i just realise i haven't spent enough time with her. All this time to pick her brains, and i didn't take advantage of it. There is just so much to see and talk about, so much to think about.
pm - Kathrin and Martin are kind enough to invite us to join them and their children to a burger bar. we enjoy burgers and frys each. Lets face it, we just can't stop talking cats.
Cynthia and I started talking cats on Thursday and we haven't stopped yet.
time for bed and so Martin drops us off at our hotel, and its straight to bed for us.
