Over the past 43 years I have lived all over Australia and this has given me the opportunity to gain a broad knowledge of the Cat Fancy in several States. Having hosted many judges it has made me realise what a close community we really are and the sharing of ideas has been invaluable. I have judged, many times, in every State of Australia and overseas which has allowed me to keep up with many old and valued friends in the Cat Fancy.

One of the most enjoyable aspects of my position in the Cat Fancy, aside from judging, is the opportunity to assist those fanciers who have sought my help and advice over the years and this has given me great satisfaction.

Due to constant travelling we can no longer breed but my husband, Ian, and I are now owned by a really wonderful Abyssinian neuter.
