I no longer breed cats,
there's simply not enough time. The only cats I now have at home are
my three old ones, Agge who was my very first "home made" Maine
Coon, Ghoya who is the most fantastic cat mother I've ever had the
pleasure to know and also my sole mate and Nora who is also my own
breeding but sadly enough turned out to be sterile. And then there's
Tai-Pan. I got him because I wanted to have a show cat. I got a lot
more!! He is beautiful but hates shows so he is now in self
retirement, pestering the old cats to no end! I had only asked one
thing of him at shows and that was that he beat any MCO he went up
against and he did that! When the hormons got the best of him it
didn't help even with early neutering, he just doesn't want to
perform! But he is a lovely cat, wild, clumsy, not leaving anything
be, cuddly and so much more fun now when he doesn't have the
pressure of the shows hanging over him anymore. He is a much loved
child, all the different pet names we have for him proves it! Of the
cats, Tai-Pan and Ghoya have the
TICA-look, Agge and Nora have the CFA-look. The
TICA-standard is the one in force today in Europe within the FIFé
organization for the Maine Coon. |
