The story behind the cats of Sweet Lorien
My love of Cameo Persians began back in the late 1970's when I went to my first cat show in Atlanta, Georgia. When I tried to find a cameo for a pet, I couldn't find one so I acquired a solid White Persian named Iris and couple of years later, a Seal Point Himalayan named Ben. When they passed of old age, I registered my first cattery name of Sweet Lorien in 1990 and set out to raise and show Smoke and Cameo Persians.
After more than 12 years of breeding and showing Smokes, I grew tired of the dark colors and started looking for a new challenge. This is when I fell in love with the Silvers and Goldens. Their brilliant coats and beautiful green eyes opened up a new world of genetics for me to explore and set of new challenges in showing.
Below you will see pictures of some the cats that I showed while using the cattery name Sweet Lorien (some pictures are forever lost). And although these cats have long since passed, they are still dear to my heart and I will never forget the wonderful weekends my daughter and I spent spent together at CFA cat shows throughout the Southern Region.
