The sire and dam were F1 Ceianda
Paprika, a Red Ticked Tabby, and
F2 Ceianda Fudge, a Chocolate Ticked
Tabby. There were 5 kittens in the litter
which also included a Usual-looking male,
a Usual Tortie female and a Chocolate male.
They were born on 21 April 1978, between
9pm and 1am. Elizabeth Lewis-Cracknell of
Ceianda Abyssinians had done this
outcross to preserve the Abyssinian
genes of a rapidly diminishing gene pool.
F2 With the help of Pam Evely (Kernow
cattery and chair of the newly formed
Abyssinian Cat Association) Paprika and
Fudge produced Kernow Chocolate
Surprise, a Chocolate female. |

All these
cats were registered on the
“experimental register” of the Governing
Council of the Cat Fancy. F3 Kernow Chocolate Surprise was bred
to Barentu Vincent, a Blue stud that
carried Sorrel, owned by Jacqui Murphy
(Chezchats Abyssinians) giving Chezchats
Hannah, another Chocolate female.
F4 On 6 January 1983 Adonesh Hot
Chocolate was born to Burtenashan
Karashahr a Usual male and Chezchats
Hannah. Adonesh Hot Chocolate's prefix
should have been 'Turnagain' but
apparently Mrs Jones Abergelly, who bred
her, had given Chezchats Hannah to her
daughter and so GCCF rightly insisted on
using the statutory annual prefix. |
