Amarula is an Oriental Black and is the daughter of our Havana girl, Amaretto, and she has the most amazing personality. I love this girl to bits. She's such a happy, bouncy baby who loves getting into mischief. In one way, she is a typical Black Oriental as all Blacks (and indeed Black Torties) have that something special about them there is just not there with any other colours.

She is a lovely balanced girl who loves nothing more than playing with our other cats or spending her time with us humans for cuddles. When she was a baby, she was a very chatty girl and if any of us happened to walk past her and didn't stop to stroke her, she would look up at us and start to talk to us to remind us that she wanted some attention.

Again, in the typically Oriental fashion, she is also extremely demanding and we wouldn't have it any other way. We chose the name, Amarula because her mother is named Amaretto and we wanted something very similar and Amarula is yet another divine liqueur, keeping in tradition with the rest of our cats' names.

Amarula is a wonderful mum who dotes on her babies. Her first litter was born in April, 2006. She carries chocolate and in 2007 she will have a honeymoon with Schimmel Stripe It Lucky which will hopefully produce some beautiful Oriental Tabby kittens for us.
