Vor sechs Jahren habe ich meinen ersten Kater Brockenmoor Lux zu mir genommen und angefangen, meine erste Homepage zu kreieren, damals mit Homepage Tool der Swisscom (www.janacerny.ch). Seitdem habe ich die Bengalrasse studiert und nach sorgfältigen Evaluation die schönsten Zuchttiere zu mir genommen, alle aus dem Ausland. Eine zweite Homepage musste her (www.rosetas.ch) Es ist das schönste Hobby und heute Vollzeitbeschäftigung die ich mir aussuchen konnte. Dies Homepage ist (www.bengal-kitten) ist hoffentlich noch interessanter.
A FBA course serves to train and deepen knowledge of animal care and breeding practice of cats. This certificate entitles me as a cat breeder to have more than 5 litters a year.
I completed a FBA course in autumn 2013 and my cattery is approved by the veterinary authority of canton of Zurich.
About me as a Bengal Breeder
My name is Jana Cerny (* 1956) and I'm taking care of our cats with the help of my husband Jiri and son Michael. The rest of time I teach English and French at a vocational school.
Every age has its hobby – after decades of travelling, teaching, child raising, gardening and scuba diving, breeding Bengal cats came to me naturally as the best pas time possible.
When I first saw the Bengals on the Internet, they have captivated me immediately by their beautiful wild look, their athletic body and their intelligence. They seemed so much different from the cats I knew.
The activity of a cat breeder is very versatile and I love everything about it – caring for the adults, socialising the kittens, taking pictures, receiving visitors, going to cat shows, meeting other breeders. It also involves studying genetics and acquiring medical knowledge, building stud houses and traveling abroad to pick up a New Cat…
I picked up most of my cats at their home cattery and could get to know the breeder personally, a great way of learning. My first Bengal Isidora flew with me from Holland (merci Nikoletta), second was Sophie who made noises in the cabin all the way from Vancouver (merci Diana), Cheetah and Rosalia were picked up in Quebec (merci Marie), Hermione had a long drive from France (merci Pascale), Emanuelle flew with me from Berlin (merci Rene).
The mother cats wish total security and peace for their litter, so that we have reserved two bedrooms in the house for them. As the kittens grow, they have enough space to run and play. There are enough scratching posts, tunnels and toys for everybody.
Our garden of 800 square meters is surrounded by a cat-safe fence which keeps our cats inside and foreign cats and other animals outside. It is important to us to live with our Bengal in the garden in the summer and to watch them playing and chasing each other. They love their play time in the garden!
Since our studs of course would fight and mark inside the house, we have built two stud houses in the garden. From every room, the cat is able to access the area outside where he can enjoy fresh air and sun, eat grass and watch birds.
