Welcome to my Skidoosh website...
My name is Marilyn Storey and I live with my adored feline family and my husband in the small market town of Guisborough, very close to the picturesque North Yorkshire Moors in the North East of England.
The Skidoosh prefix was registered with the GCCF some 30 years ago, and in my early breeding days I bred and successfully exhibited Orientals and Siamese, including Oriental blues and lilacs, having several Champions and two Grand Champions one of which was the first ever Oriental blue Grand Champion female.
Nowadays I am a specialist hobby breeder of British Shorthair silver classic tabbies and silver spotties. British SH silver tabbies are the most wonderful cats. They are lovely natured easy going felines, so loving and trusting. I now no longer need to work, so I am fortunate enough to have plenty of time to devote myself to my hobby. I love this breed, and I strive to breed the best silver tabbies that I can, with no effort or expense spared. I'm proud of my good reputation as a dedicated, caring and responsible specialist silver breeder.

AMY'S MAGICAL BUBBLES...
I hope that you will enjoy all these beautiful framed portraits, with kind permission of my highly artistic and very good friend Janice Evenden, who is owned by the lovely Skidoosh Precious Amy..
Amy's looks are very typical of the ' owly ' eyed, round faced pretty ' look ' of my queens, a look which I aim to achieve in my kittens from selective breeding.
I am working with silver classic tabby and silver spotty cats from top quality old established silver bloodlines, my cats and kittens having the very best of silver pedigrees. My breeding cats are tested negative for FeLV, FIV, and I strive to maintain zero titre status for Corona virus too within my household.
I do not breed many litters of silver kittens a year, but those I do have are of the highest quality, and they are healthy, happy, well socialised, loving kittens which are occasionally available to caring, responsible, and preferably indoor homes where they will be as cherished and spoilt as they are here at home with me. I consider having my kittens to be both a joy and a priviledge, and I expect the very best of homes for my babies.
AMY'S HALLOWEEN DREAM...
SPLISH SPLASH..!
INFORMATION :
Most breeders and pet owners are aware of the diseases caused by the Feline Leukaemia and the Feline Immunodeficiency viruses, but many people are not aware that the common Feline Corona virus can be just as much a potential danger to our cats having the potential to cause Feline Infectious Peritonitis ( FIP ) if a particular infected cat or kitten is immuno compromised in some way and therefore more susceptible.. it is a very widespread virus particularly in multi cat establishments such as catteries and rescue shelters. Here is an excellent link with useful information about FIP.. Dr Addie's website is http://www.catvirus.com/
