About Cats Whiskers Web Designs
Building websites for cat breeders and clubs since 2004 — because we are part of the cat fancy ourselves.
Who We Are
Ross and Paula Davies have been building websites for the cat world since 2004. That is not a marketing line — it is how we got into this in the first place. Ross started coming to cat shows to give his mother, May Ellis of Mazpahs Siamese, a lift. He got involved with the cats, took on his own prefix, and when she needed a website he built it. More breeders asked. Then clubs. And it grew from there.
Today Ross holds the Burnthwaites prefix and breeds Siamese and Orientals — a prefix he has held since 2004 — as well as British Shorthairs under the EzBritz prefix more recently. He is a Full GCCF Judge, qualified to judge in Sections 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6, a member of several Breed Advisory Committees (BACs) and Judge Progression Groups (JPGs), and serves as a show manager. Paula breeds and shows cats alongside Ross, stewards at shows, works as a show manager, and sits on BACs of her own.
Ross handles all the technical and marketing work — site builds, SEO, ongoing updates, and everything in between. Paula takes care of design and visual presentation. Together they cover every aspect of getting your website right.

What Working With Us Is Actually Like
Most people who come to us have been putting off getting a website for months or even years. They know they need one but they do not know where to start, they worry about the cost, and they are not sure what to say on it. Some have had a bad experience with a previous designer who did not understand the cat world.
The way we work is simple. Ross talks to you first — no forms, no lengthy briefs. He asks about your breed, your cats, your shows, and what you want people to find when they visit. He helps you plan what goes on the site and helps you write the copy. You supply the photos and we take care of everything else. Your initial design is live within 48 hours.
After that, the relationship continues for as long as you are a client. New litter to advertise? Show win to add? Committee member changed? Send it by email and it is done within 48 hours, always included in the annual fee. No ticket systems, no waiting around, no surprise invoices.
We have been doing this for over 20 years. We have built more than 100 cattery websites covering virtually every pedigree breed, and over 30 club websites including breed clubs, area clubs, BACs, JPGs, and the GCCF Training website. Our clients stay with us — many have been with us for a decade or more.
