BumbleBe  Birmans
Aerodynamically the bumble bee should not be
able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn't know it
so it goes on flying anyway.   ( M. K. Ash )

We keep a relatively small number of girls, and our aim is to let them
make babies a couple of times, and then retire them early so they can
enjoy life as pampered lovebugs, making someone's day as a beloved
pet.  We have several litters planned for Spring/Summer 2011..  
Hopefully, there'll be lots of little Birman paws pitter-pattering
around here soon!  We are also VERY excited to continue breeding
from our 'homegrown' queens again in 2011.  We are now breeding
from our 2nd generation of 'home-grown' queens.  Two of our girls,
Livvie (BumbleBe French Kissing Life) and Gilda (BumbleBe Gilda
Radner) finished as Regional Winners before retiring to become
mommies, and Gilda's mom Evie (BumbleBe Everafter, pictured above)
went back out to the showhall as an Alter, and finished her show
career as not only a Supreme Grand Champion Alter, but also was
again a Regional Winner (she also had a Regional Win as a kitten!).  
In 2011, we are looking forward to kittens from our 'young man',
BumbleBe Hey Jude.  Jude is the son of our Australian import,
Matey, and is currently doing very well in the show ring;  he's
attained his QGC title, and is just that illusive "Best Cat" short of
Supreming!

Our girls are part of the family, and share living quarters with the
rest of our zoo.  The boys have their own comfy air-conditioned
quarters equipped with all the comforts they could want.  They even
get to watch TV while they lounge around waiting on the ladies to be
in need of their services!  We've added some bird feeders outside
their window, and those now beat out the 'kitty sitter' video's
handsdown!  Kittens are socialized to dogs, other cats, and small
children via our nieces and nephews.

BumbleBe Birmans all started about seven years ago with a little seal tortie Birman girl we adopted
from a rescue group.  "Pissy" as she came to be known, since she was a live wire, always full of piss
and vinegar, was my heart kitty - she followed me from room to room, laid on my desk when I
worked, sat in my lap when I goofed off, and slept on my pillow. We unfortunately lost Pissy to a
tragic household accident, but Birmans were forever ensconced in our hearts and lives.  Today, I am
working to breed not only beautiful cats, but those with this same wonderful temperament that
wraps itself around your heart forever.

BumbleBe Birmans is a small cattery, where
our cats are always pets first, and
breeding/showing are secondary to their
health and well-being.   We are a HCM, FIV
and FeLV tested and negative cattery
located in deep south Texas about half way
between Houston and Corpus Christi.  Our
cattery is registered with both TICA and
CFA although we show primarily in TICA,
secondary to the proximity and number of
TICA shows available to us in south Texas.  
We are very proud to be breeding from
Regional and Internationally winning lines
and thank our breeder friends who have so
generously shared their prize cats and
kittens with us.  We are a true menagerie
family, with cats, dogs, hamsters and even a
turtle.  Never a dull moment here!
