She has three Sphynx cats I was a Devon Rex breeder originally but I fell in love with the Sphynx and now have three of each. It’s a myth that they don’t have fur; they’re quite downy and should feel like a warm peach to stroke.

My husband is massively allergic to cats but Sphynx don’t trigger as much of a reaction as cats with a longer coat. He has a little moan every now and again but I just take him to the pub! Puppies For Sale In Dixon IlSphynx get skin cancer easily so I put factor-50 for babies on them when they go outside.

When my cats die I bury them in pot plants – that little life isn’t wasted, it’s regenerated and producing something beautiful. I can go out and talk to them.

I’ve got seven plants with little signs on them, so I know which cat it was. And if a kitten is stillborn it goes in with one of the adult cats. People say, 'You’re mad!’ But the comfort I get from my cats is amazing. I’m a critical-care nurse, so when I get home from a night shift it’s such a stress relief to sit with a cat on my knees. It helps you realise that not everything is bad in the world. Leana Ferguson 22, a student of international business and law, lives in London and has two Egyptian Mau Chicha was a present from my father. Ironically, I’d always hated cats because one bit me when I was younger, but as soon as I saw her it was love at first sight. I have another Mau now, too, Maia, so she has a companion. They’re super-affectionate, especially Maia. They like to sleep on my bed and hassle me at 4am by licking me and trying to wake me up. I don’t have a boyfriend anymore, but when I did he used to get so angry because, if my bedroom door was closed, Maia would stand outside it in the early hours, crying.

He’d say, 'She’s like a child!’ We do take them to shows, although my father does it more than me. I like the domestic pet side of them, but I’m not so fussed if they win awards. I like to give them nice treats and toys but try not to go OTT. At Christmas I get them their own cat stockings and for their birthdays my flatmate and I bought some cat milk and made them gourmet scrambled eggs. If you’ve had a rubbish day it’s nice to come home to them. I can’t imagine my apartment without Maia and Chicha; they’re tenants just as my flatmate and I are. If only we could split the bills four ways. Sue Smith 65, from Trowbridge, Wiltshire, is a retired hairdresser and breeds Persians I have four children and was always running here, there and everywhere with them, so when they grew up I decided I wanted something for me. I’d always had moggies, but after visiting a Persian breeder I was hooked. That was over 12 years ago. I adored my first Persian, Chrissie. My husband is not a mad cat person like me, but when we lost her to cancer the whole family was so upset.

Persians are very domesticated, family-loving, and they like to be where you are. I’ve even had one fall in the bath when I was in it. I breed them, too – at the moment I’ve four boys and 12 girls. Grand Champion Shou Starlight is a real poser. I had a cattery purpose-built outside with eight pens – they’ve all got bar heaters and lots of beds. I’m up at 6.30am every day and in the cattery until about 11am, cleaning up and feeding them. I’m protective of my cats and I won’t sell them if I don’t think they’re going to the right home. When they do go, I get excited for them but upset. I worry about them and I ask the new owners to ring me after a couple of days to reassure me that everything is OK. I can’t imagine a life without cats – I think I’m an eccentric old lady! Charlotte Holman 40, from Dorset, is a full-time mother of two and the owner of a 'therapy’ cat, Louis, a Birman Louis is a special little boy. He’s like my third baby and a furry brother to my other two children – my daughter Frankie, 12, and William, who is seven.

He’s also a 'therapy’ cat and every week visits a local charity for young adults with severe physical disabilities. You can see the pleasure on their faces when he arrives. To have Louis on their laps and to be able to place their hands on his lovely, soft fur is so good for them. He has to be on a harness and lead while he’s there, so I trained him from a young age and he’s happy to go out like that. He can be naughty, though, and he’s very bold. One time he jumped in the Waitrose van when I had a delivery. Luckily we realised where he’d gone before the van drove off. I’m sure if we lived near a bus stop he’d travel far and wide. They’d probably give him his own pass! He’s very intuitive, too. When my son had his tonsils out Louis wouldn’t leave his side. He had a job to do – to help William get better. My parents and in-laws think I’m completely nutty because Louis has such a spoilt life. But at the end of the day he is our pet and his role in our family is extremely important.

He’s one of us. Celia Simpson 73, from Essex, is a retired teacher and breeds Siamese My love for Siamese began when my husband and I were visiting Orford on the Suffolk coast over 30 years ago and a beautiful Siamese cat came up to 'speak’ to me. After that I got myself two female Siamese kittens, became a breeder and started showing cats. I’d always had dogs before that. My house is full of cats – the girls and their kittens and my stud boys, as well as several neutered cats that stay permanently with me. My friends love the cats, but my family think I’m a bit barmy. It’s hard not to have favourites, and mine is Patou. He gets to sleep in bed with me at night, and if I’m standing up I can clap my hands and he’ll jump on to my shoulder without scratching me. The funniest sight is my boy from Holland, Grand Champion Kattilan Voltaire, who comes inside wearing newborn-size Pampers. If he doesn’t wear them he’ll spray to mark his territory – it’s an instinct thing.

It’s hilarious to see him strutting around near the girls with his big, baggy nappy on! The girls love him and think he is George Clooney. I do regret not being able to take holidays. I went away for a long weekend many years ago and when I came back my lovely sealpoint stud hadn’t eaten the entire time I was away. He’d been pining for me. I thought, 'I shan’t do that again.’ Angela Elson 48, is an assistant exam officer from Portsmouth. She and her children breed Maine Coons This is the first time I’ve ever owned Maine Coons, a breed originally imported from America. I love them – they’re easy to manage, fairly placid and they don’t meow. They make a kind of rumble in the back of their throat that’s called 'chirping’. But they’re not lap cats; they like to stretch out on the floor or sit next to you, like dogs. Just as well – Charmed One must be about 2ft long and the boys weigh about 7kg. They don’t roam free, because a lot of Maine Coons get killed by cars, so we have a massive open-air room at the back of the house for them, like an extension, with their beds, toys and play centres – huge multi-storey cat 'trees’.
