Our Siamese and Orientals
Our cats live in the home and are treated as members of the family. Like children, they can talk all day and sometimes pout when not given their own way. Siamese are cats with coloured points and blue eyes, while Oriental Shorthairs, or Orientals, are esentially a Siamese with any other coat colour and have green eyes. They can be solid coloured, multi coloured or patterned. These cats love to give love and be loved.
Our Siamese
All our cats are named with a Star Trek theme, including our dogs! Our story started with one Chocolate Point Boy, named Jadzia Dax (RIP) who thought he was a dog and sometimes acted like a human. Jadzia's best friends then included Ezri Dax a longhair Burmilla, Trekkie Gelfling a red & white Papillon (RIP), Tribble-Joey a black and white Papillon (RIP), and Trilogy, a red & white Papillon.
The sadness of Jadzia's death motivated us to ensure our cats live long with us, with a high standard of breed conformation through their progeny, and so our journey commenced as a registered breeder.
Our Studs
Luca is retired from showing and now resides at Katrajulis Kats.
Diamond Grand Champion Scallywags Jean-Luc Dax is a Lilac Point Siamese and lives in his own bedroom where he can observe the wild birds flit amongst the fruit trees from his hammock and window sills. Luca, as he is known, was born on 10 November 2014. Luca has fathered three litters for Startrill Siamese.
Thank you to Lyn Hales, Scallywags, who bred Luca and trusted Startrill to love him and provide his loving home.

ACF Silver AoE Gold Grand Champion Hareem Leonardos Legacy is the pedigree name of our boy Mr Spock.
Mr Spock is a Blue Silver Bicolour Tabby Siamese. He comes to us from his breeder, Jan Biddle, Hareem.
Mr Spock attended three shows in late 2016 as a kitten, won several awards and continued to excel from there. His excellent form is also a reflection of his lines from Shimmeree Cats and Syana Cats.
Thank you all for trusting Startrill to love him and provide his loving home.

Our Queens
Champion Ashrose Lela Dax
is a Seal Point Siamese. Lela had a break from motherhood in 2017 and had her third litter in January 2018.
Lela has the run of the house and also lives in a shared bedroom (previously known as the Study!) but mostly enjoys sleeping on her human Mum's bed.
Thank you to Margaret Cowell, Ashrose, who bred Lela and trusted Startrill to love her and provide her loving home.

Startrill Droxine Dax is Lela's daughter from her first litter. Droxine is a Chocolate Point Siamese. She is delightful in every way and her loving temperament has passed on to all her babies.
