My name is Anneli . I was born in Finland 1954 (ages ago) but came to Sweden 1979. With me I had my very first persian. I was working too much, I felt my kitty was lonely so I left it back to breeder to Finland and decided no more cats before I can be there for my cat day and night. The day will come when I will be 65, then I will make my dream true.

I was not 65, got retired because of my back much earlier. The very first thing to do after retiring was to buy a kitty. Now I didn't know anything about cat fancy, didn't have internet or anything. On newspaper I found a kitty, mixed breed she was with chinchilla persian as mother. Thought she was lonely so I bought another cat, a persian boy. My intention was not at all start breeding but cats thought differently. When I got a mixed breed litter I got stuck. Could not think my life without kittens every now and then. So here I am, breeding persians. Colors have changed but silver has always been a red thread and now I'm concentrating to smoke persians. Even though I have silvertabby and white, too.

I have son, born 1981 and one grandchild boy, born 2003.

I'm living in an old house from 1873 about 250 kilometers South-West of Stockholm. A little place called Storå. Here I have peace and forests around. And cats can enjoy the nature.
