I set out to write ONE article (if you even want to call it that) this weekend, I have written SIX, I have added many more article ideas, some of which that already are being written. Welcome to the snowball

1. Health Testing 101 and Beyond (18 pages)
2. Insights into Progressive Retinal Atrophy: Feline Health Concerns (7 pages)
3. Catalyzing thoughts on Erythrocyte Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency or PK Def: Feline Health Concerns (6 pages)
4. Foundations in Natural Rearing (13 pages)
5. Foundations in Natural Rearing: Natural Alternatives (11 pages)
6. Inside Your Cat's Veins: Exploring the World of Feline Blood Tests (11 pages)

Needless to say I think I got my writing streak out of my system for a bit.

I want to thank Lori Denley for getting CH Elysian Warped Kraken aka Roka HCM screened today.

Dr. Sayer at CARE in Charlotte performed the screen and Roka is HCM clear.

While we retired from breeding we will continue to screen our cats and share the information with researchers doing studies on HCM

This is why its so important to know your lines. You can't judge a book by its cover, especially when you know this will be the result

This is Onyx (Previously Balthazar from Ecstasy and Diesel's Buffy the Vampire Slayer litter) owned by Nirvana Punzul

This was always one of my favorite pairings and it is the brother of RW QGC Elysian NR Dark Matter aka Inalhi

If he had been a silver charcoal he would have stayed. His pattern alone was amazing!

Its official my first RW!

Inhali was a second time pairing between Elysian AngelofEcstasy x LunaKatz Diesel

Thank you Alexa Rodriguez BougieBengals for helping to make this happen and Tracy DeLuna for producing Diesel! Thank you to Lori Denley for showing her so much for me as well!

Inlahi ended this season as:

33 Best Kitten in SE Region
Best Bengal Kitten in SE Region
Best Brown Charcoal Kitten in SE Region

22nd Best Short Hair Cat in SE Region
37 Best Cat in SE Region
3rd Best Bengal Cat in SE Region
Best Brown Charcoal Cat in SE Region

17 Best Bengal Kitten (Internationally)
35 Best Bengal Cat (Internationally)

Some of these higher numbers may not impress everyone but they sure impress me. This season Inlahi started showing as a kitten and just was getting final after final unlike any of my cats or kittens before. As an adult she achieved QGC in less then a month including two best cats!

I finally have made my charcoals in the show hall dreams come true!!
