We asked the lady (Mo Galvin of Kowtow Siamese who became and still is a good friend) who had put us in touch with our first Siamese breeder, where we could find one of these exquisite Tabby Point Siamese, and was put in touch with Peggy Annuskans of Zils Siamese, who agreeded to sell us a Seal Tabby Point boy. After a short show career Zi (Zils Zilas) was taken to the vets to be neutered (as our other boy already was), but unfortunatly on returning home with him he developed fluid on the lung and nothing could be done to save him. As you can imagine we were distraught, and after a few days decided to see if we could replace him. We contacted Peggy to tell her the sad news and to see it she had another Tabby Point for us to have, she did not have any Tabby's, but did have two Seal Point females from a repeat of Zi's mating.
She offered us one, and said that with a female we could have a litter and breed our own Tabby Point, so we went down to see the kittens. One had the cutest face and I fell in love with her, although it was a Tabby I realy wanted, and the rest as they say is history.
The name of our first queen was Zils Graymalkin and she had her first litter in 1978, and we are still breding from her progney.
