Fate, Nudedudes and Me!

Gavin & Steph

I am a great believer of fate and that although you may think you have a decision to make; in actual fact you were always supposed to go the way you ultimately decide. It’s not that you don’t have a choice in life rather that things are supposed to happen to teach you valuable lessons and make you the person you are today!

Well…. I am certainly very grateful that fate lead me to Nudedudes when I was looking for a sphynx kitten. It’s a miracle that I found the website actually as I searched from my computer at work and around the same time we had experienced problems of people looking at ‘unsavoury’ websites – leading to tighter internet security, so how ‘nude dudes’ got through I’ll never know!

Anyhow, like I say I’m very pleased it did and after looking through the site I decided that Jen was the type of breeder that I wanted a kitten from (the contract page nailed it - to go to such lengths as to have a legally binding contract with each cat gave me great comfort that she was a good, ethical breeder). I contacted Jen by email and we spoke for an hour or so the very same night and DA DA!...... here we are today, 3 years on and I’m still waiting for kitten LOL ;-) but more importantly I am now mommy to the wonderful Bleu and our great big baby Jeffrey!

Now fate has dealt a strange hand during this time – some things have amazed and delighted me (the honour of being Bleu’s new mom… BLEU for goodness sake!!!, meeting some wonderful people), some things have broken my heart and have seemed so desperately unfair and tragic (being unable to keep Spuddy, the death of Frankie) and other things I’m still trying to get my head round -

some of which I never will but we have our triumphant little angels Bleu, Spring, Isis, Chanel, KJ, Style etc. and all their descendants to love and cherish out of adversity.

Like always perseverance and time reveal the answers and ultimately teach you very valuable lessons. I have learnt to really appreciate each day I have with my wonderful cats (and any that I ever have the pleasure of staying with me), that Spuddy was always meant to be with his new family and sad as it was not with ours, that I will never have any other breed than sphynx, that I choose kittens over babies for my future :), that I would NEVER become a breeder and that I am more than a little naïve. I have also found my inspiration for tattoos – Bleu is immortalised on me already, Jeffrey will be shortly, and the pain of having to say goodbye to Spud helped me through getting my tongue pierced – I knew no physical pain could be as bad. (Sphynx cause self mutilation? I hear you ask…. well they might have you pulling your hair out at times with their mischievousness but, no… they just make me happy and feel alive and I am proud to have tattoos for my babies.)

Ultimately, through these ups and downs I have found great lifelong friends in Jen and Mick and also people who I’m looking forward to becoming better friends with (Sheila… you know who you are!). And of course I thank fate everyday that I have my little angels who I couldn’t live without, my Bleu and Jeffrey – but of course they were always supposed to be with me anyway weren’t they……………!
