We are a small, non cage, cattery in the very south of Sweden, in Trelleborg, not far from Malmö.
It´s mother and daughter (Jenny and Ida) who are the persons behind the catteryname S*Ägirs Hus, but in reality the whole family gets involved.
My husband, Krister, made this homepage, for example. (Thanks love *big kiss*)
and Tamlin is helping out with cuddles and daily care...
We got our Breeders/Cattery name registered through FIFe in July 2006, and a lovely La Perm girl moved here not long after.
The breed we are working with at the moment is La Perm, but during our first years we also bred a few litters of Selkirk Rex.
I am interested in other breeds as well, such as American Wirehair and Tennessee Rex...
Myself, I have always been more of a dog person, that was what I believed anyway; and we have had several sighthounds; Whippet, Galgo and Greyhound in our family. We also used to share our house with a big and beautiful house cat named Ramses, but he was not a pet cat, no no, not our Ramses. He could allow you to pet him once - he purred. The next tender touch made his tail whip...and if you didn´t get it by then, but tried another, third time - well, all his teeth and claws would be stuck in your arm...That´s how he was, our Ramses.
He was my very first cat, so please don´t judge me to harsh when I admit I actually dind´t understand what people saw in theese creatures, not what so ever!!
Many were the times when I wished him ...eh, let´s say, far away, and maybe even further.. but in spite of that I felt sad and the house seemed empty when he died, 12 years old, and I realized, though he only participated in his very own way, he was a part of the family...
Krister grew up with cats, and has seen many of them come and go in his life, and he used to be the big cat fan in this house, but now he is starting to wonder if I have gone totally mental..*laughing*
Ida is in her last year in college and has plans to study veterinarian medicine later on, and that is probably one of the best ways for her to go, since she´s got extraordinary good hand with animals of all kinds, and love them all highly.
