Elizar Emiliana Calle
Jelim Bazilio Ebenezer Elvis

Zarin Elizar
Elizar was born at Sari Kulha's, Lilit's Finnish breeder, in January 1996. Sari had sent Zarin Bellamor - Bella for short - to Andy in Denmark, and the result of this visit was 1 male and 2 female kittens. Sari sent us a photo of the kittens aged about 8 weeks, and already when we saw this photo we fell in a big way for the little Elizar. Also the females looked very promissing, but not as good as Elizar. We have seen the adult Elizar in 2000, and we think he looks exactly as beautiful as we had imagined.
Elizar was bought by Satu Virtanen, and Satu has showed him jointly with Sari. He is European Champion, and he has won many BIVs and has been nominated many times on his road to this title. Now he enjoys life as a neuter.

Zarin Emiliana
Emiliana is Elizar's sister. Her owner is Tarja Lehtimäki.
We have had the pleasure of some visits from Emiliana when she went to shows in Denmark, and indeed it was a pleasure. She is a sweet and lovely cat. She has had some very fine show results, and like her brother she is an European Champion. She even got the title before Elizar, she was only aged 3½ when it happened. Also Emiliana was BIV and nominated many times.
Emiliana also found time to have kittens with Tarja's cattery name Nouran. More Nouran-kittens from Emiliana are planned.  
The photo was taken the day when Emiliana got the EC-title.

Legoliv's Cadeau
Cadeau was born in 1996 in the only litter so far that Marie Louise Saether had. His father is the Swedish born Silverskimrets Legolas, and his mother is Olivia af Den Blaa Mus.
Cadeau - or Calle as he is usually called - was sold to Lene Bondesen together with his brother Duplo. Both of the brothers were neutered, however Duplo unfortunately disappeared. Later Calle has come to live together with Rathcke's Babka Annabell and now also Annabell's son FredAstaire.  
Calle is a very kind and beautiful Russian Blue. Lene showed him occasionally, and he was nominated quite a few times.

Jelim Malenkij
Jelim was born in January 1998. His father is Marsik Matjora, his mother is Rathcke's Babka Bellis whose parents are Oliver af Den Blaa Mus and Tzaren's Blue Ginger Rogers.
Jelim was sold to Ivi Lampe in Germany, where he was fertile for quite a few years. He was showed many times and became GIC before he was neutered.  
Jelim looks very much as we think a Russian Blue should look, only his chin should be stronger. He was our first choice when we were going to choose a male to be the father of Lilit's first litter, but the two cats didn't agree. Fortunately he has been a father anyway. We have seen some of his offspring, and they have a very nice temper and are very attractive Russian Blues.

Bazilio
Bazilio is a true Russian, he is born in Sct Petersburg in 1996 at Marina Belovas. His mother is White Magic Rusita, and her mother is Tzaren's Blue Bitsjkova.
We don't know much about Bazilio, but we got this funny photo from Marina when he was a baby. If you suspect he is a new Russian breed - a Russian Curl? - you are wrong. He was BIS kitten at a show - as a Russian Blue!

Ziggi Blue's Ebenezer
Ebenezer was born in October 1988. His mother is Angel's Daphne of Kashmir called Sissa, and his father is Grusjenka's Malte. Malte's grandmother is Affro, so Ebenezer is a descendant of Bitsjka. 
Ebenezer was sold to Satu Virtanen in Finland and lives together with Elizar. The two males are very good friends, but they were both spraying. Because of this Elizar was neutered.  
Before this Ebenezer managed to sire 4 litters in the autumn of 1999 with altogether 13 kittens, and he also got the Champion title. He was always sweet at the shows, and it was and is a pleasure to show him. Now he competes as a neuter.

Rathcke's Chlopiec Elf

Rathcke's Chlopiec Elf
Elf - usually called Elvis - was born in September 1999. His father is French and is called Ness de Tireby, and his mother is Rathcke's Babka Boïse. Boïse is from the same litter as Bellis, the mother of Jelim, so her parents also are Oliver af Den Blaa Mus and Tzaren's Blue Ginger Rogers.
Elvis was bought by Steen H. Sorensen and Inger Jensen. He has never been to a show, but we think he is a very attractive Russian Blue, and among other things he has a very lively eye-colour. He also is a very sweet tempered cat, and we didn't give it a second thought when we proposed to him on behalf of Lilit. The result of this was two kittens born on Christmas Eve 2000. Anyway, his most important duty is to be the spoiled centre in the house of Steen and Inger.
Elvis sired this litter only before he started marking and was neutered.
