Our household was prey to many kittens running about.
Many pedigree lines feature a Jeepurs cat.
The name came from the family cristian names: JustinElaineEdward

Potted 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.
