Meet the super-ethical cat breeder who makes a £12,000 loss on her passion

Meet the super-ethical cat breeder who once travelled more than 1,000 miles from Scotland to Switzerland to keep a rare breed alive - and makes a £12,000 loss on her passion. Heather McRae, 37, has played a part in breeding around 20 per cent of Asian cats registered in the UK in the past two years. The relatively new breed was formed in 1981, when a Burmese cat was bred with a Chinchilla, a variation on a Persian cat. Asian cats are known for being stunningly pretty, and having playful and intelligent character traits, but have never become well-known and are classified as rare.
