| GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN |
| This page is dedicated to those beloved felines that have proudly, honourably and beautifully given so very very much to enrich the lives of Bev and Tony. They have been a family member of KALINYA CATTERY and whether on the Show Bench, in the loungeroom, on our knees or in our bed they have enriched our lives from their beginning to their end. We have captured their beauty and their story on this page to have their memory with us forever and to share with the World that which they have given to us so freely. |

| CCCA Ch & Gld Dbl Gd Ch & ACT Dbl Gd Ch Kalinya Adiona was our living advertisement as to why prospective customers should own a Siamese. Each person who entered our home had to talk and handle Adiona. She was spayed at a young age, never giving birth, but she assisted each of our mums as is required. As our most titled Siamese, Adiona loved the show circuit visiting many different venues and enjoying the luxuries of some splendid accommodation. A little on the heavy side in her senior years, Adiona's beauty still earned her Best in Show awards at age 10. She was trained by Tony at an early age to "give 5" - yes the siamese handshake !! The only reward she took to amaze so very very many was the loving pats and words of praise from Tony. Failing kidneys have taken you from us too early Adiona, you were our superstar ! You may be gone but you will never be forgotten. |

| CCCA Ch & Brz Dbl Gd Ch Mirra Orielle was the beginning again of Kalinya cattery's return to breeding the magnificent Siamese in 1991. Our sincere and deepest thanks must go to Francine Skane for not only allowing us to have one of her "pure" seal point Siamese Mirra babies for showing and breeding, but for providing us with Orielle. I cannot begin to reflect on all the delights and pleasures that Orielle has given to me. She was my bed companion with her most protected position against my side, my travelling companion on so many trips to shows particularly those in country NSW (Griffith, Temora, Bathurst, Lithgow), my assistant when other mums were birthing their kittens, my reliever of stress after a day of work, my lap warmer when I sat in front of TV, my comforter of Bev when I was away from home, my ambassador of the siamese breed whilst on the show bench or when people visited our home - but most all she was my best friend ! Still a kitten at heart right up until the last few months, Orielle was the matriarch of our feline family. True to Siamese ancestry, she also had the tiniest of kinks at the tip of her tail. Mother of seven (7) litters, one of her finest achievements was to earn a 16pts Challenge & CCCA at the Sydney Royal Easter Show in 1998. Chronic Renal Failure has taken you from us Orielle. You were the icon of Kalinya ! We know that you are now at peace . Bev and I would like to thank you so very much for the enrichment that you gave to both our lives. You may be gone but you will never be forgotten. |

| Gd Ch Kalinya Flaming Love is the first progeny kept from our Orielle. Flame reared three (3) litters before being desexed in early 1996. Amongst her finest achievements were providing us with Chamron, Adiona and Zenna who you will find also on our website. She was a real "shoulder hugger" and just loved her "dad". To reflect on our Flame is to again remember our Orielle. My bed companion, my assistant when grating the cheese, my reliever of stress after a day of work, my lap warmer when I sat in front of TV, my comforter of Bev when I was away from home, my ambassador of the siamese breed by showing everyone just how relaxed and placid they could be - but most all she was my best friend ! How very lucky we at Kalinya have been to have had such wonderful wonderful mother and daughter Siamese, WOW !! At 14 years of age she won both 13pt Challenges on offer at the Riverina Cat Show held 23rd June 2007. Proudly she brought home for Bev & I the Kalinya Adiona Memorial Trophy for Best Siamese Seal Point Spay. Chronic Renal Failure and a detached retina has taken you from us Flame. We know that you are now at peace beside your Mum. Bev and I would like to thank you so very much for the enrichment that you gave to both our lives. You may be gone but you will never be forgotten. |

| Ch Kalinya Chamron was born to be a mum. Chamron just loved having children and rearing them. She has provided us with thirteen (13) magnificent litters and another of our brood queens, Jaya. As a lady of leisure, having been spayed, she enjoyed the hasle-free lifestyle and of course all the food she could find. Chamron never had an agressive bone in her body yet those around her new who she was & what role she had in our family. She loved her babies & loved shoing them to enquiring prospective owners of them. Chamron and Addeiam Satiny Solomon (imp UK) are the proud parents of our best ever performed litter which included Sir Rocky (Kalinya's first Gold Double Grand Champion) and Chamroque (a Grand Champion who moved to Queensland).Well done Chamron !! Chronic renal failure has taken you too Chamo, but we know that you wil be at rest with others of the Kalinya family. You may be gone but will never be forgotten. |

| Kalinya Zenna at a very young age decided that she loved our Siamese household that much that she was not going to live anywhere else. At the sound of a door knock, Zenna was no where to be found other than way up the back of the house away from potential new owners. Our very first and only (???) kitten not to be re-homed. Spayed after four (4) litters, possibly she is the cleverest ? As Zenna aged in to seniority, she allowed many selected visitors to our home to give her attention. She even sought it from those few "chosen ones". With the passing of Mum Flame & Grandma Orielle, Zenna did mourn for them but she did we are sure enjoy the acquired matriarch role in their absence, something she never would have acquired or even aspired to whilst the were alive. Sadly, Zenna was in early renal failure when we relocated back to Unanderra in the midst of a cold wet winter & coupled with this she contracted the flu & could not survive. We know Zenna enjoyed her life at Kalinya as we at Kalinya enjoyed having her. You may be gone but will never be forgotten, Zen Zen. |

| Kalinya Petaling Jaya, a very petite seal point siamese, after experiencing difficulty and a caesarean after her tenth mating was spayed. Jaya and sire, Evaleeta Domingo, provided us with our first non-seal point siamese - a blue point male. A follow-up litter with GC Cintasaya Pharoah as sire gave us another blue point - this time a female, Pharaya, who after rearing a few litters now lives a life of luxury with us as a spay. Her matings with Outback produced many many lovely siamese, some of which have rehomed to Catteries who still use this successful line. Jaya's eye colour never faded & she displayed the real deep blue that lovers of Siamese just love. Jaya enjoyed many years living in the "diva's" quarters outside with Chamron and Pharaya as well as with neuters Jochan and Jacob. Jaya tried valiantly to look after her Mum Chamron when she took ill & would not leave her side in an attempt to help her retuin to good health. Unfortunately & so sadly, Jaya contracted the flu & the very very hard decision, in consultation with our Vet, to let her go with her Mum was made in the best interests of Jaya. You gave so much to Kalinya our petite Petaling, You may be gone but will never be forgotten. |

| Pandora Sophia is a seal point female with very strong genetics from the older lines. With our Jaya reaching the time where her breeding days appeared limited or ended, Bev & I decided to find a kitten that would continue on with what we began. Sophia's ancestry provides us at Kalinya with Mirra, Comenarra, Azuli, Hurdshill, Sucheng, Dandalun, Cintasaya, Sugarbay, & Duqoi - fabulous old "pure" siamese bloodlines !! As you can see from the current Kalinya Family, we have retained that which has given us the long time friends & companions i.e. Orielle, Flame, Chamron .... Sophia has a more traditional head type, with quite large ears, very good eye shape however eye colour is a little on the light side. Our thanks and congratulations to Bev Smith for allowing us to have Sophia. Unfortunately, whilst rearing her babies, Sophia developed Pyometra ( a very rare disease of the uterus) and has had an emergency hysterectomy, very prematurely ending her breeding career. She will now remain with us to help promote ownership of a Siamese. Our best ever Siamese to the judging standard, a chocolate point male named Kwantus, was transferred via Quantas back to USA to be living testimony of this mating & to continue the bloodlines of his dad, Outback. With Sophia being such a youngster & due to our other brood queens being so maternal,Bev & I made the decision to rehome our very first adult. Thankfully, Jane Hills, on behalf of her parents, Keith & Bev contacted us at the right time & offered Sophia an ideal home to spend her life. She is now a proud resident at Towoon Bay, on the Central Coast of NSW, after Bev & I delivered her. Gone to a new home but will never be forgotten. |

| " Our beloved Kalinya Saba Mazoe Trevena was taken from us in the prime of his beautiful life. As cheeky as can be and with an attitude to boot, I miss you so terribly. An acquaintance described you as "my recovery" after the traumatic birth of my second child who now has special needs. I saw you as my third child. You were taken away from me too soon. Saba may your spirit live on and know how much you are still loved. Susi, Sophie, Stephanie and Scott Trevena xoxoxox " You may be gone but you will never be forgotten. |

| It all began with ALKIRA NAYUKA !! Way back in 1966 when I first was granted my breeding prefix Kalinya by RASCC, did my love of Siamese evolve in to breeding these wonderful companions. Mum Val had just previously commenced her Siamese breeding under the Alkira prefix & once that first litter was born I just had to have one of my own. Mum & Dad succumbed to the pressures that a teenage boy inflicts, & so entered Nayuka. A nature to die for and so accepting of the attention that I gave. Show bench success was not her forte but companionship & affection was unending. A wonderful friend & although gone will never be forgotten. |
