History
We got our first Devon Rex in 1977, already having our Siamese
from 1976, my Father saw a devon in a magazine and wanted
one. This was in the days when they were quite rare. We went
to a cat show and saw that Bolrose had kittens for sale.
Barbara Hudson (now Hoole) said she would keep the best one
for us, as we were at a cat show I suppose she thought we
were going to show our new kitten. The kitten was Bolrose
Miss Muffet. At the same time Rolf Harris (Australian celeb
in england) was collecting Ratbag and Smudge from the same
litter.
Jeepurs
fame stems form the fact that
Jeepurs Charlie's Angel and Jeepurs
Instant Sunshine were bought
from us by 'hardened' breeders,
so though Muffet only produced
around 3 litters, her children
considerably added to the devon
world. Charlie's Angel went to
Mrs Lyon (Berilleon) always a
one to make the most of her cats.
Instant Sunshine went to Veidals
in Sweden (see
cat links)
Muffet's
first litter was born on 6 July
1978 (Charlie's Angel was the
only mature adult survivor from
this one). Muffet had only
three litters (Sweep & Instant
Sunshine in the second of seven
kittens born 7 August 1979). Last
litter born 23 April 1980 four
of them, two of which Mrs Sinclair
had and Angela Rushbrook (Scatti)
had one - 2 blue 2 white. The
stud we always used for Muffet
was Brylou Charlie
Boy owned by Lynda Ashmore (Kralahome).
Muffet
was such a unique cat that I
feel that I could never have
another. Also I (and my Mother)
have never recovered from the
heartbreak of loosing them all,
which I suppose is the way when
living with an animal which is
bound to leave you.
