Michael and Sue

Welcome to our home online!

We’re Michael and Sue Shawn (nee Jentsch), recently married and currently living in suburban Brisbane in sunny Queensland. Sue’s moved her Cattery from Victoria to Queensland and fully expects to keep the same standard of Aby on the bench in the show scene in Qld as she did in Victoria. Both Michael and Sue are registered breeders with the Queensland Feline Association and strictly abide by the QFA Council's Code of Ethics.

All our kittens are home raised, constantly under foot and pampered with the best care and tons of love. Handled and gushed over from the day they’re born imprints them with loving, friendly personalities. Sue, being a qualified Senior Vet Nurse, undertakes the monitoring of the health status of all our Fur People. We take pride in breeding well socialised kittens with totally “over the top” personalities. All Fur Babies are QFA Registered Purebred Pedigreed Kittens, desexed, microchipped, 2 x FE3 Vaccinations along with 2 x Leucogen FeLV vaccinations, wormed, litter trained and guaranteed to ping at your heart strings. Both Pet and Show Kittens are available POA . Kittens are available to venture out to new homes at approximately 14 weeks depending on vaccinations and socialisation.

All of our breeding cats have been tested for PK Deficiency (a hereditary form of anemia). Additionally all breeding cats are tested for PRA CEP290, FELV/FIV and Tritricamonas Feotus. All cats in our cattery are classified as Normal or Negative.

Recently Sue imported new European lines to help strengthen the Australian gene pool. We have great expectations and hope to see some very nice kittens produced by our UK, German and American imports complimenting genetic lines we already have in the cattery.

Osiris (V) is a long established cattery having enjoyed many and varied successes over the years. Including such prestigious awards as “Abyssinian Breeder of the Year” consecutively since 2009.

Chat d’Or is also a long established cattery having been first commissioned in 1989 and breeding both here in Australia and Canada.

Please bookmark us on your computer and visit frequently. We are always updating and changing our web pages in order to reflect the current kittens available, projected litter births, planned matings. Additionally from time to time will be offering retired Breeding cats for re-homing so come back often for a visit.

Oh and to our Fur People…..

Dear Osiris (V) and Chat d’Or Fur People.

The stainless steel dishes in the laundry room are yours and contain your food. All other dishes are ours and contain our food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.

The hallways were not designed by NASCAR and are not a racetrack. Beating us down the hall way is not the objective. Tripping one of us doesn't help because we tend to fall faster than you can run.

We cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. We are very sorry about this. Do not think we will continue sleeping on the edge of the bed to ensure your comfort. We are sure you’re all aware cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.

For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle we beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, and try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, we have been using the bathroom for years - feline attendance or assistance is not mandatory.

The proper order is kiss me, and then go smell the other cat's butt or lick your privates. I cannot stress this enough!

Your loving humans.
