Champion Nordlys Winifrid
aka “Twinkle”
Born November 2001
(Ch. Westrikatt Tor Egil x Fanfaron Maggie Mae) |
Twinkle and her litter brother Wenceslas came to join me in Spring 2002 - and unbeknown to me at the time, this was the beginning of Forestdancer Norwegian Forest Cats! Their breeder, Carole Smith of Scarborough , suggested to me that as Twinkle was an excellent example of the breed she would be worth breeding from if I liked. This hadn't been my intention at all; my only wish had been to have a companion cat. But the idea appealed, and after a couple of cat shows I could see that Carole was correct in her estimation of Twinkle's outstanding qualities. She has excellent size and boning for a female, and outshines many males in this respect. She also has a beautiful head, profile and chin, and a very calm, feminine temperament.
Twinkle is so-named because she prances around on twinkletoes like
a ballerina! She is elegant as well as being large and strong. She
had her first litter in 2003, including Figaro and Fonteyn ("Twinklet")
who have both stayed here.
See "Kittens" page for details of kittens born to Twinkle and EC (N) TordenØrns AHA-Suprise on the 19th July. |
