It all started in 1996, when we got our first cornish rex cats, two brothers. We were active showing our cats for some years before the idea we would like start also breeding. Our cattery is named after our first cat Piu-Piu, but where he got his name is another story. Piu also means more, so our cattery name could be freely translated to "more paws". The catteryname FI*Piupaws was accepted in January 1999 in FIFe. We breed only cornish rexes.
