Photo session with Sally Plummer
(Catsmagic Abyssinians)

Sally lives in a remarkable house on the edge of the hill with a breathtaking view of the river valley
below. This is probably one of the most well-organized small breeder we ever saw with cats having their

Today we visited a fellow Russian, Marina Bunina, who breeds Birmans and
Siberians. This is very fitting as Siberian is a uniquely russian breed -

character. There is very little known about this breed in ...

Nicky and her family breed Persians and Rottweilers (and they do not

Today we had a unique opportunity to photograph very unique
cats - Sphynxes. It was a truly remarkable experience for us
and it shattered quite a few of misconceptions we had about

instead they have an extremely short ...
