  The Stars of RegencyRags Past and Present...

Many people have asked me where I come up with those names for my cats.  And from those who don't ask I get a raised eyebrow.  Now my family gets right to the point.  They're like those aren't names for cats!  I guess they're thinking of good ol' Fluffy.

In any case, I thought I'd highlight my cats and their namesake for each of my cats are named after characters in Dark Shadows.

 

Has there ever been a prettier kitten than Daphne?  I'm hard pressed to believe so, but then I'm not the best judge as I am the breeder of the magnificent girl.  She even received a Regional Win as a kitten, which means she racked up over 6,000 pts. in only four months.  Daphne is the beautiful daughter of Willie, pictured below, and the proud mother of Sukie, pictured even further below.

And what of the ultra lovely Angelique?  Of course her namesake Angelique Bouchard.  I've always thought I made good matches with the characters, and in this case I'd say I out did myself!

Josette has the honor of being my very first Dark Shadows cat.  As such I started with my very favorite character -- Josette Dupre. You have to experience those episodes with Barnabus and the music box to really understand why I would choose Josette as my first name.  Katherine put everything she had into that role making it an outstanding success. I think Josette is an outstanding success herself which shows I picked just the right name for her!
To the right is the character Aristede, henchman to Count Petoffi and namesake of my own beloved Aristede.  I see the resemblence.
This is Willie, my very sweetest and forever in my heart boy.  He is the proud father of my darling RW Ch. RegencyRags Coquettish Delight and the grandfather of my beloved RegencyRags Delighted Im Sure.  My beloved Willie lives in Rancho Santa Margarita, California.  I love you, Willie!

Here is my sweet love, RegencyRags Texas Freedom Jubilee who was named for the character  Jebez, shown at right.  Belovedly nicknamed Jeb, he is pictured here at 14 wks old.  He had just earned his first kitten ribbon -- 10th Best LH Kitten Speciality by Candy Jacobsen.  Jeb is now retired and lives with his doting family in Mississippi.

This is the princess kitty I call Sukie, otherwise known as RegencyRags Delighted I'm Sure, pictured at the itty bitty age of 8 wks.  She's the daughter of Jeb and Daphne, pictured above.Sukie has the same vivacious character seen in Suki Forbes, her namesake.

Look at this pretty girl!  Her name is Sabrina, named after Chris Jennings fiance.  They both have that dark beauty that I find to be quite beautiful and mysterious. This is a picture of the lovely Sabrina photographed at 5 months old.  She's cousins my own Daphne.  Now that's a good pedigree!
