When Linda delivered Rowdy to me at the Phoenix show years ago, I was so thrilled! He was everything I wanted in a cat. He was my pal, my puppy, my "bad boy". He went on to become a Regional Kitten Winner, and an easy Grand Champion. Rowdy sired many top show kittens for me before passing at the young age of 4. My heart was broken, and words cannot possibly express my sorrow. I didn't know if I could go on, and almost neutered and spayed everybody. After a year's sabbatical, my love of the Persian breed was still strong, and Rowdy's son - GC, RW Johnorah's Ferris B - was beginning to produce babies that would have made Rowdy proud... and so, life goes on. Thank you, Rowd! In 1993 my dear friend Stephan Moran blessed me with a special gift - she was aptly named "Framor's 1 From the Heart", aka "Stephie". What a beautiful white kitten she was, huge eyes and so very feminine and sweet. Stephie had one kitten for me, a copper-eyed white girl I named "Babs". I can't begin to give the deserved thanks to Babs for what she gave to me. When you see the big-eyed smiley look of Johnorah babies, you can attribute that to Babs. All that is that special Johnorah look is Babs. I lost Babs early in 2007 at the age of 12 to cancer. To say I was heartbroken is an understatement. I miss her every day, as she was my chatterbox...she talked to me and helped me clean, she was so very special. She was the matriarch, everybody loved and respected Babs. Another hole in my heart... Every white kitten born here is Babs reincarnate, she was the epitome of all that I love in my whites. Thank you for everything, Babbies.
