Supreme UK Imperial Grand Premier Tianlex Full Monty
Supreme Exhibit 2007*

My name is Pat Cook and I live in Tiptree in Essex.

I have been breeding and showing siamese for 16 years.

The first siamese I ever had was bought for my son James, as a 14th birthday present. She was bred by Maureen Chilton who has the Moralyn prefix, and she kindly agreed to transfer her to the active register so that she could have one litter. James called her Tia and also showed her quite successfully, getting her up to Grand Premier. She was mated to Rosemary Bennett`s seal boy, Champion Thairano Alexander (a.k.a. Axel) and had 3 kittens, 2 blue boys and I seal girl, who of course I kept. She was "petsy" and had pale eyes, but I had no idea of "type" at that time. I called her Lexa (her dad`s name in reverse) hence my prefix Tianlex, mum and daughter, the start of it all.

Tia was spayed after her first litter. She was a very special cat and devoted to James, as he was to her, and when he went away to University she would camp out in his wardrobe waiting for his return.

She died at the age of 10 in 2004, a very black day for James and myself.

Her daughter, Lexa, went on to have 7 litters and produced some lovely kittens, but none lovelier than one in her 2nd litter, a beautiful blue pointed girl who in time became Grand Champion and UK Grand Premier Tianlex Indigo Lady. Indie was well known for her soft blue points colour and unshaded body. She went to stud to Jackie Reed`s lovely cream boy Gr Ch Sarnau Johpasquali, and the resulting litter produced Monty`s mum. The wonderful Imp Gr Ch & Imp Gr Pr Tianlex Indies Blueblazer, (Blaze)

Indie had to be put to sleep 3 years ago due to kidney failure, and she left a deep hole in my heart than can never be filled.

When she was old enough, Blaze was mated to Jackie`s other wonderful cream boy, Sup UK Gr Ch Sarnau Jaffah, the boy with the amazing points colour.

I am eternally grateful to my very good friend Jackie as this was the magical mating that produced Supreme UK Imperial Grand Premier Tianlex Full Monty, the Supreme Exhibit of 2007 who is owned and doted on by my very good friend Dr. Jane Muir-Taylor.

He is the ultimate that I never dreamed I would achieve, and I feel privileged to have bred such a wonderful and extraordinary cat.
