6th generation

Zarin Lilleman
Lilleman is Lilit's brother, the only full brother (or sister) she has. He is born in December 1997, his mother is Sagolands Kapris and his father Cattleyas Emi No Fujikun. It is in the line of Fujikun that Lilleman - and Lilit - are descendants of Bitsjka, because Fujikun's father is Andy.
Lilleman is named after one of the old and very famous Scandinavian Russian Blues, Lilleman av Olsenburg. The new Lilleman was sold to Tineke Hofma in Holland who has the cattery name Daliena. He is called Lev in Holland.
In the home of Lilleman live a few other cats, and one of them became the mother of Lilleman's first kittens. He has now sired several litters, and it is reported from Holland that it is very fine Russian Blue kittens.

Soelvi Tristan Sterling Danebod
Tristan is a descendant of Bitsjka on both his father's and his mother's side, but closest on his father's side where his great-grandfather is Tzaren's Captain Cut.
He was born in January 2001. His mother is Grusjenka's Svea Tyra and his father Lurifax Malteser Sterling.
We wanted Tristan to be the father of Sarantoya's first litter. He came to see her not less than three times. They seemed to be very much in love, and Tristan also mated Sarantoya several times, but she didn't get pregnant.
Now Tristan is neutered. He is still a handsome and slim cat, also after the little operation.

Salonqa Hesseldal
Salonqa is called Salsa for short, and she is Lilit's daughter from the second litter sired by Rathcke's Babka Elf, called Elvis. She was born December 24th, and together with her sister Sarantoya who stayed with us she was the very best X-mas present.
When Salsa was old enough she moved to live with father Elvis and his people, and she is the princess of their house just as she deserves.
She is one of the most lovely kittens we have bred. She and Sarantoya are very much alike, but at a few points Salsa is better after the standard than her sister. When they have been at the same shows Salsa was always the winner.
Anyway Salsa's people are not too keen on shows, so we doesn't see her representing the Russian Blues very often.

Uzuri Hesseldal
Uzuri is the son of Sarantoya. His father is Miró, Tanisjka's Blue Castello.
Sarantoya being the 6th generation after Bitsjka together with Salsa Uzuri consequenty is the 7th generation on his mother's side, but on his fathre's side he actually is in the 6th generation.
He was born November 11th - a day after his litter-sister, and a caesarian was necessary. Right away he appeared to be a cat with a strong personality and also to be a smart cat. He thought it was much easier to steal the nipple his sister had chosen than to find another one himself. It caused some trouble in the nest.
When hi was 4½ month old he moved to Yrsa in Randers. It is not far from where we live, and we have often visited him, and Yrsa has become a good friend of ours. After some months Zuri as Yrsa calls him got a new pal, Addis who is a Russian Blue as well. However Zuri still thinks that Yrsa is his very best friend.
Yrsa thought it would be fun to show the cats, but to tell the truth Zuri is not the most beautiful Russian Blue we have bred - and Addis is a bit too weedy. Zuri became Premier, but then his show carreer stopped.
In return he is - to the great joy of his owner - a very clever and smart cat, and also a very charming cat.
