Welcome A little about me My name is Pam Williams, and I have had the pleasure of breeding pedigree cats for over twelve years. My first love are Devon Rex, the curly gremlins of the cat world, whose personality and capacity for mischief is surpassed only by the spectacular Sphynx, my second love. Living with both of these breeds ensures that there is never a dull moment in our home. I often say that I no longer need a television now that I have Sphynx and Devon Rex, because they sure are a constant source of entertainment. I came to the Sphynx world quite by accident. I had been happily breeding Devon Rex for several years when I met, quite unexpectedly, my first Sphynx, and was immediately captivated. I had never even considered breeding another breed, so I decided to take things slowly and it wasn't until 2006 that my first Sphynx babies were born. My cattery prefix "Streakers" is now registered with the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy (GCCF), Felis Britannica (FB), and The International Cat Association (TICA). I do like to show my cats, as this gives me an opportunity to network with other Sphynx breeders and keep up to date with various breed related developments. From a social aspect, I have met some wonderful people whilst out showing, some of whom have become very good friends. Although I sit on various cat club committees, I had no idea just what I was taking on, when in 2005 I was asked to form a new cat club, with the aim of finally obtaining GCCF recognition for the Sphynx breed. Our new club was formed in May 2005, and became known as the Sphynx Cat Association, which after a lot of hard work, is now a thriving GCCF affiliated club with well over one hundred members. During that time, it has been my pleasure to serve the club and it's members as Honorary Secretary, and I look forward to many more happy years as part of the club's community. In June 2006 we finally won our long battle for GCCF recognition, and Sphynx can now be shown in Assessment classes at GCCF shows. My family now comprises myself, four children, two dobermans, one Devon Rex, five Sphynx and one very patient husband. In 2007 we all moved to our new home, in the midst of the beautiful Staffordshire countryside, where we were very quickly joined by several hens. I'm pleased to say that future plans do not include breeding and showing chickens...........yet!!
