2007 - 2010

It is with great sadness I write this tribute for Hawk, a tragic accident while on stud duties has taken this magnificent boy from his doting Owner/Breeder Pippa Browning.

I had the great honour to meet Hawk and like all those before me quickly fell “in love”.

Hawk was such a noble cat, a sweet gentle nature who liked nothing more than being held in your arms like a baby. Never was a crossed word or raised paw ever seen from Hawk. This wonderful Balinese had an illustrious show career, his Best in Show accolades too numerous to list, he shone wherever he was exhibited and was BOV Siamese Adult at the prestigious Supreme Cat Show.

It is fair to say he wowed every GCCF Judge who had the pleasure to judge him and I know many have shed a tear at his passing. Hawk has sired the most incredible progeny, my own first litter of kittens; every one of them achieved either a BIS or BOV. He is sire to the incredible IGr Pr Mylynn Magnifique.

The type and style Hawk contributed to the Longhair Oriental is a legacy his breeder should be very proud of. Never has the like of Hawk been seen before nor I doubt ever, will we see again.

Such a lovely gentle boy that I had the pleasure to meet and photograph at many shows, my thoughts are with Pippa and her family.

I'm terribly sad to hear that, he was a wonderful cat and a model for all balineses breeders, i still have the pictures of him when he was young, he made me dream, and you made me dream Pippa, but the perfection you achieved with him will never die...
Rest in peace, beautiful Hawk.

Very sorry to see tghis. I've never met him, but have always admired Pippastro cats and nobody wants to lose a cat this early, and he was a stunner.

Pippa, How very sad my thoughts are with you at this very sad time xxxxxx
Karen Holder   |2010-07-30 10:59:55
I just don't know where to start with this tribute. I cannot find the words that would adeqautely describe the loss we feel for this magnificent cat. Hawk was gentle, charismatic, proud, stunning to look at, and he KNEW just how special he was. Just look at the photos - they convey everything you need to know. I am so lucky to have his son, Imp Gr Pr Mylynn Magnifique, who inherited his father's look and style. Sleep tight Hawk and may your legacy go on....and Pippa, we send our love and we are thinking of you xxx

Pippa, we spoke earlier, we know how you must feel, Hawk was a magnificent boy, I will miss his cuddles. His progency is a credit to him and yourself. Our prayers are with you, hoping that time will heal.
Love Tom & Rosemary xxx

Oh, how absolutely awful! I saw Hawk at the Supreme last year, and he was even more magnificent in person than in his photos. He is the sire of my beautiful Oriental Longhair, Pacha (GR PR Mylynn Sweet Pea). So sorry Pippa, you must be devastated... x
Anne Gregory   |2010-07-29 10:24:28
Such very sad news and devastating for his owner - he was such a very special cat and will be sadly missed.
His quality and "presence" will live on in his progeny and on the pedigrees of beautiful cats.
Sleep peacefully handsome boy xxx
Debbie Copeland  - Hawk   |2010-07-29 04:24:42
OMG i am absolutely devastated. That cat was truly a wonderful speciman whom i admired and photographed many a time at the shows. My thoughts and prayers go out to Pippa who i know absolutely adored him. Rest in peace beautiful Hawk, your legacy will live on xxx

It was an awful day when I heard this magnificent boy had passed away in his prime. My heart goes out to Pippa to lose this fabulous boy to a tragic accident. It seems only yesterday when I first met him as a kitten at he Supreme show and I wanted to take him home. He had that presence about him, which I know will live on in his offspring. Lots of love at this sad time.

I had the privilege of meeting Hawk at a couple of shows and saw him both as a stunning kitten and a magnificent adult. His beautiful looks and his wonderful nature equally obvious as Pippa allowed him to show off.

He was very very special, and I know how much he was adored, I am so very very sorry to read he is gone.

Sweet dreams Hawk.
Saffi5   |2010-07-28 14:40:51
I am so sorry Pippa, sadly I never had the pleasure in meeting him however from what I have seen he was a truly magnificent boy.

Long live his memory in his offspring.

Just too, too tragic. My heart goes out to Pippa who must be inconsolable, losing any cat is hard, to lose such a magnificent one, so very young and in his prime must be unbearable. He will be remembered for generations to come and his lines will continue in some of the best show Orientals today and beyond. He may have gone from sight but his spirit and legacy live on.
