WHO AM I ?

Let me introduce myself: Marie-Bernadette Pautet, aka "Babette", telecom engineer, mother of 3 children and...
... foster mother of an aby and 5 somalis !

My path to happiness involves living and working among these beautiful creatures who constantly tell me, through their eyes and by their behaviour, the trust and love they grant to their human family. This represents for me the real truth of a family cattery, where I am able to live among my somalis 24 hours a day.

This is me with Tikky on my shoulders, during a cat show in 2004
