Well, GC PaJean's Buttons, now Spicy Latte, has not only become a cat model but dare I say a cat model diva! She's totaling channeling Naomi Campbell and had a diva moment when she took out the Christmas Tree🎄. Gosh, I just love this cat so much and I am so proud of Star for bringing out the best in her! Fabulous forever home! Buttons is the one Pamela Bassett paired with Bond to get him breeding. She is something else this one.

Well, I was having a great time at the LCWW Skyway Cat Show in Tampa until my genetic heart defect flared up this morning. The show was way more fun than Urgent Care. Good news though with both! Tugees made all his finals in a very adorable kitten class including 2x 2nd Best on Saturday! I had to absentee Sunday. Thank you, Judges!!! Always fun to see Gigi Guerriero and her cute little Toybobs! I saw 2 breeds I have never seen before... The Toyger and Lykoi. Loved them both. So unusual and very striking! Here are clips and pics. Congratulations to all. It was a very competitive show in a great venue with high-quality kitties and a big variety of breeds. I was impressed! As for my health, no more pushing myself too hard without proper sleep and hydration. And big thanks to Katrina Sortino for helping me with the kitties!!!

Kenny Currle and Lions & Owls Tortugo Dry, a.k.a. "Tugees," bonding in the show ring. Tugees is our F1 generation for our breed preservation project of putting the green-eyes back on the Silver Tabby Persian. We are very pleased with him. Named after the Dry Tortuga National Park as he is a Florida Keys baby. His sister was born first, then Tugees. Those two grew up chasing green iguanas through the lanai screening and watching the fishing boats come and go as the fishermen searched for their loot of Florida lobsters and hogfish. Their sire is Pamela Bassett and my gorgeous GC Pajean's Telluride aka "Ghost" and my green-eye queen, Key West, a.k.a. "Kiwi." Kiwi has bright green eyes like those iguanas she and her babies chase. Pam's mom, Jean Bassett, loved the green eyes and Silver tabbies. Cat of the Year (COTY) GC BW NW PaJean's Trinket Love DM is this kittens ancestral grand-mother. These furbabies have a wonderful blend of curiosity for the wild blended with the temperament of a cushion and cream cat. They both are participating in a green-eye genetic study to identify the gene in feline genetics.

and much-needed fun after Hurricane Ian and bronchitis. Lions & Owls Tortugo Dry and his sister, Lions & Owls Tahitian Gardenia, debuted at the Tampa cat show thrown by That's My Point Fanciers and Lilac Point Fanciers Cat Clubs. Tugees made 2nd Best in Kenny Currle's ring and finaled in Judge Lyn Knight's ring. Go Tugees! Thank you, judges and club. Fabulous show!!! Great venue. Perfect 1-day show. Good to see everyone and their cats.

I am so proud of this!!! See Jackie Ott Jaakola of EveryCat Health Foundation, Dr. Leslie Lyons, Feline Geneticist & Authority at University of Missouri, Lyon Feline Genetics Lab and University of California Davis, Cheyenne Williams of Shiney Day Specialized Pet Care, and me, Marlohe Muse of Lions & Owls Cattery on Episode 2 of Mewsings: Feline Genetics.
Animal Actors: Our very own Lions & Owls Tortugo Dry a.k.a. "Tugees" and his sister, Lions & Owls Tahitian Gardenia a.k.a. "Tahiti".

I am a huge advocate of DNA testing. This amazing Ph.D. has discovered so many scientific breakthroughs that make our cats healthier. Our two little kittens made their first studio performance debut. They are part of Dr. Lyon's latest DNA endeavor to identify the green-eye gene and tarnish gene. Cats with and without tarnish coming out of silver lines are needed for this study. So are Silvers with green eyes. So happy to participate and how fun to be on a studio production with a Ph.D. that I admire so much; and the charismatic Jackie Ott Jaakola who made this happen and does so much with fundraising and advocacy for EveryCat. EveryCat is the ONLY non-profit focused solely on feline health and has financed numerous feline studies which have led to scientific breakthroughs. Breeders owe much to these advocates for Feline Health. Please donate and support both EveryCat and Lyons Feline Genetic Lab.

Thanks to Alli Mang, Multi-Million Dollar Brand Spokesperson, and five-time author. Your book and advice helped so much!!! And the pros at Mars Vision Production did an outstanding job. Big thanks to Bryan Helbig, my love, who supports my hobby with these gorgeous cats, and Pamela Bassett whose beautiful sire, Pajean's Telluride of Lions & Owls, fathered these 2 little angel kittens.

Dr. Leslie A. Lyons
Gilbreath-McLorn Endowed Professor of Comparative Medicine

Ph.D. 1991, University of Pittsburgh, Graduate School of Public Health – Human Genetics
M.S. 1987, University of Pittsburgh, Graduate School of Public Health – Human Genetics
B.S. 1985, University of Pittsburgh - Biochemistry

Research Emphasis: Dr. Lyons’ long-standing research focuses on domestic cat genetics, particularly developing biomedical models. Her genetic interests are broad, not focusing on any one disease, including various health concerns and all organ systems. Her laboratory has identified over 30 mutations in over 25 genes including 21 diseases, cat AB / B blood type (2), and recently 2 diseases in wild felids. Dr. Lyons launched the 99 Lives Cat Genome Sequencing Initiative – an effort to have deep coverage on cats with inherited diseases and as an SNP resource for the community. During her tenure at the NCI, she worked closely with theriogenologists to produce a feline interspecies backcross between domestic cats and Asian Leopard cats (Bengal cats) as a gene mapping resource, which is now useful for phasing of whole genome assemblies. She continues to support assisted reproduction studies in cats and she has cryopreserved many cat biomedical models. Dr. Lyons works closely with veterinarians to firstly define genetic diseases. The veterinarians and clinicians then become partners in the genetic studies. She typically collaborates with veterinarians and clinicians around the world and publishes in veterinary and genetics journals and especially journals that focus on organ systems. Specific diseases remain of high priority, including polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and heritable blindness. She looks forward to developing drug and gene therapies and translational efforts, for one or more of these abnormalities to better develop the cat as an animal model for human disease. At UC Davis, Dr. Lyons had a partial research position at the California National Primate Research Center, producing 13 manuscripts via independent and collaborative studies. She has produced seven publications on forensics, over a dozen papers with significant disease defining and clinical components, six projects supporting reproductive studies, worked with over ten different species, and analyzed mtDNA from cat mummies as part of a National Geographic Explore production – The Science of Cats.
