Twiline Cattery

was founded by me, Christallin Twiline-Tabb. My love for Siamese began when as a young lady of about 23 years old, my mother suggested we attend a local cat show. Being curious, I agreed to attend. Upon our arrival we were greeted by the mouthiest, talkingest, naughtiest little cage full of kittens I had ever seen! This cage full of Siamese babies was my gateway to the cat fancy and a love affair was born. The cattery name “Twiline” was chosen to honor my first registered Siamese kitten, Champion Fuzzfur Twila Delightful of Twiline, a female seal point. The cattery was officially registered with the Cat Fanciers Association, Inc. in 1985. I bred and showed successfully for several years when my life changed dramatically as a result of a dramatic conversion. I became a Born Again Christian and returned to school. After completing a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and a Master of Arts degree in Pastoral Counseling, I was determined to return to breeding my beloved Siamese. God helped me to do just that and now...

“WE’RE BACK!”

The New Generation of Twiline

started with a telephone inquiry to an unknown breeder in a far off place. Things have changed so much since I was active in breeding before. There are so few Siamese breeders in Michigan, and fewer still willing to sell a kitten for breeding that my search took me all the way to Phillips Wisconsin, home of Lois Koblizek and Koblizek Siamese. Lois had a little girl kitten, a blue point like I wanted, I was told that she was “nice, her ears aren’t coming out of her shoulders but I think you’ll like her.” Lois forwarded pictures (below) and we joyfully picked up Little Di on December 20, 2005.

Our Queen of Hearts- Little Di- from kitten to Grand Champion
Little Di turned out to be quite the show cat. She easily beat her competition and went on to become a three show Grand. She accumulated a total of 233 grand points. She is Twiline’s first Grand Champion and we are so proud of her!

New Mom!

At Di’s first show as a new Grand Champion, I was blessed to become acquainted with Betsy Arnold of Shera Len cattery, Rochester New York. Betsy had a stunning blue point Grand Champion female that was the first cat to ever defeat Di in a show ring. After licking our wounds and congratulating Betsy, she was so kind as to offer a stud service from her Grand Champion
national and breed winning stud, GC, BW, NW Kaleiope Elienai of Shera Len, DM. I happily accepted this wonderful offer and on December 18, 2006 made the six hour journey to Rochester New York with Little Di. She was bred exactly one year after we brought her home, on December 20, 2006. What a joyous Christmas present! (Kittens born February 24, 2007)
