 For Leyla's first litter we went to Ch Emanan Squirrel Nutkin, an
event which was quite an experience for both myself and Emma, Nuts' owner and breeder and
indeed poor Nuts himself! Leyla was not the best-tempered queen when being
mated, her rage reaction was "pure rage" and she needed a stud who was
quick-thinking to avoid annihalation!!! Fortunately for her Nuts was not only
quick thinking, but, being the gentleman he is, completely without malice and for all her
abhorrence of the act, she succumbed twice and managed to produce 5 kittens on the 4th
March 1993 - my "Master and Miss" litter

 For her second litter we took her to Supatoft Silver Sundowner and
her kittens were born on the 24th August 1994. As a kitten the usual silver
was such an active "on the go" kitten, she was nicknamed fidget breeches from a
very early age and so to follow the theme and because this was such a fun loving set of
kittens all these kittens were given names which began with "F B".

You can take this link to Islay's page to read the story of
her very short, but love-filled life and it was because of the problems she suffered and
the fact that being mated was not Leyla's "forte" that we decided not to breed
from her again. She was therefore neutered and remains in our household a very
loving and affectionate neuter, who simply adores Barry (still
there's no accounting for taste!)
