MAYSTAR MEWS 2019
TICA Champion
Ikon has done it again!
Huge thanks must go out to Diana Saunderson from Watchout Birmans and Sarah Walker from Boucles Selkirk Rex for 'running' Ikon at his first TICA show ever. He was loved by all who met him, judge offered to take him home and then on the Sunday, in the last ring, he gained 4th best cat out of a terrific line up. DEC 2019 |
Tygalings Born
Seven kittens were born to Tyga and Bonja, however, due to size and other factors, we lost four of them within a short time. Now, we have two strapping boys and a girl to show for it and three is a much more manageable number, especially when we are having to hand feed them all. Tyga is an excellent mum and I am so proud at how she has handled herself. She has trusted me implicitly. DEC 2019

Best of the Best for the 5th Time!!!
|
Ikon had an unusual day at the CRAOV show this month. He was in for a Grand but had it with held due to having no stop or cheek width. He was described earlier in the day by another judge as 'average looking'. I have always said he is an unoffensive looking boy with a nature second to none who gives cuddles and purrs to anyone. However, another Judge awarded him the Best of Breed and a further judge put him down for Best of Variety Section 4 Adult so in the end he had rather a good day especially with the competition on the bench at such a lovely well run show.

Viktori and Ikon went all 'Supreme'
|
What a delight these two were at the 2019 SUPREME CAT SHOW 2019.
Viktori was on exhibition only and wowed her small crowds of families that gathered around to watch her perform Hi-Fives and special waves for the cameras. Children and adults alike asked her to 'HI-FIVE' and she obeyed for a small freeze dried snack. Ikon was a dream to handle in his main event and came home proudly holding aloft his SUPREME rosette and his first GRAND certificate. He was such a good boy all day. NOV 2019 |

Pearlings Arrive Safely
|
Early hours of 1st October two baby minicats were born, then two days later Pearl had to go to the vets for a Csection because her enlarged uterus wasn't contracting enough to get the further few out. After many false starts with milk drying up, hand feeding for the allotted 20hrs due to missmatched Blood Groups and further hand feeding until Pearl felt well enough and the milk returned. The little family are now doing well and we have 4 beautiful babies. 3 girls and one boy. The social media network went crazy sending happy milky thoughts to Pearl which must have worked because it came back with a vengeance! OCT 2019

Champion Gold Card Status for Tyga & Ikon
|
|
So very pleased with Tyga and Ikon at the Wyvern Cat CLub show this month. It will be their last show for a little while as we are expecting kittens from Pearl which will be a busy time.
Both babies did really well and are now, subject to GCCF approval, Champion status and can now have the title in front of their names. They achieved this is three straight shows, although, there was not much competition in their area and the best of breeds have gone to much more mature adults. Mostly, we are just proud how they both handle at shows, especially Ikon, who is everyone's pal. SEPT 2019 |
Maystar Achieves GCCF Breeder Accreditation Status
|
Maystar are proud to announce that we have joined the breeders accreditation scheme designed by the GCCF (Governing Council of the Cat Fancy). We have to adhere to strict code of ethics as well as provide a commitment to our breed through responsible breeding.
Kitten owners will have the opportunity to tell the GCCF what they think about Maystar first hand and these are kept on file and all sales are then monitored by the Governing Council. SEP 2019 |
Ikon goes Glamping
Ikon had his first try out on Hollibobs with Faith & Lillibet, who kept him in check at the caravan. He was a very good boy, enjoyed the short walks and watching bunnies, birds and kids playing. He took it all in his stride and we feel he is even braver than he was before. However, he NEVER shut up!

Lord Darnley takes no.1 kitten
MAYSTAREX LORD DARNLEY was a tad upset about the smells from the other cats. However, despite the rough start, he confidently lay looking out of his pen all day and despite his grumblings still took the first place in the boys section. We are very proud of him and especially to his owner, Elaine, for his presentation and handling. His coat is really beautiful and he is very happy little man in his new home. SEPT 2019

4 Times BOV winner
Ikon did it again and at a double show, Kensington & Herts, with a huge double win of his classes against 5 Devon Rex Kittens and then took BEST OF VARIETY KITTEN Section 4 in both shows.
His rosette hall was massive and you couldn't even see him for the haul pinned to his pen. He charmed everyone yet again. JUNE 2019 |
Iconic Ikon
Ikon attended his second show and again impressed the judges with his calm and relaxed handling and will go to anyone who wants a cuddle. He again achieved Section 4 Kitten and then had his photos taken by photographer Shirlaine Forrest. They are really captured his larking about.

Very poorly pussy cat
Tyga has had an awful 2 weeks. It all started after the Bedford show with sickness and upset tummy. It went on and on. Then she came into call and it made it all worse. She didn't eat for 6 days and lost 500g.
It has been very stressful getting her well with a week on a drip. APR 2019 |
Little Lord at the vets
Poor wee soul had a strange blockage in his intestines which was relieved with tiny enemas and lots of lactulose. He was still guzzling away but just wasn't right for a few weeks.

Ikon makes his debut
Ikon - Icon of Gold Blue Sun *PL went to his fist show and had a super, if cold day out at the Bedford show.
