I am an accredited Cats NSW show steward as well as being a current committee member of the newly formed Cats NSW, a past member of the NSWCFA Management Committee & past President of Illawarra Pedigree Cat Fancy. Bev has been Catering Supervisor for I.P.C.F.'s shows and for Riverina Cat Club in 2007, 2008, and has assisted other clubs as a Ring Recorder, Trophy Steward or Door Steward. As members of Riverina Cat Club, Tony was it's Club Secretary and Bev the Catering Supervisor. I have now attained my Group 1 and Group 2 Judges Licences and I am looking forward to handling and assessing many exhibits in these Groups for very many years to come. Bev & I have only recently (22nd June 2008) relocated back from Wagga Wagga to Unanderra, Wollongong following a short 7 years "tree change" down in the Riverina. We love all cats but the heart & head rules - first love is Siamese. We are not a large cattery & are not driven to achieve show bench success at every show. Our ambition is to breed a "pure" Siamese of such quality that it can not only successfully compete against Colourpoint Shorthair (Siamese lookalike) but that it can achieve Supreme in Show status. We love the opportunity of promoting to the general public responsible cat ownership & of course, the ownership of a Siamese. |

Our cattery ("KALINYA", aboriginal word meaning "good") has been registered since 1966 when I
was aged 13. I was raised in a "siamese" household where my mother was the initiator of my feline
involvement. Mum, Val Hurry, is now an All Breeds Judge, very astute & extremely well respected in
the Cat Fancy around Australia & New Zealand.
Although I went out of cat breeding for an extended period to concentrate on my human breeding
program, I returned to this wonderful hobby in 1991. In early 1995 I met Bev who also has a love of
cats and who has become an integral and equal partner in not only Kalinya Cattery but also in my
life. After many years of rearing kittens, cleaning litter trays, feeding the feline family, attending Cat
Shows and making many new friends, we married in a quiet ceremony at Park Orchard, Victoria on
14th February 2002.
