Happy CATurday FURiends! We hope you’re having a fantabulous start to your weekend. 🌞

Today we are doing some deep cleaning in the cattery and getting some much overdo yard work done. If I were to venture to guess, I bet we’ll have lots of furry help with our inside work too (we usually do, especially when it comes to changing litter boxes).😹

How about you? What’s on your agenda for this sunshiney day? Do you have all work planned, like us? Or, do you have something fun on the table for today or tomorrow? 🤔

How cute is this candid photo one of our kiddos captured of Sq**rt (our F1 MCO Queen and momma to our most recent litter)? 😻 She’s cuddling up with her favorite furry FURiend, TICA Champion LakeViewC***s Humbe Beginnings Uno (aka UNO).

We liked the outcome so much, we repeated the pairing and were hoping for another Blurry + Panther litter this fall, but unfortunately the mating was unsuccessful. Panther is now retired, but thankfully we can continue the line with his son, Ocean (from the same pairing, born last summer).

Ocean is an F5 black smoke Maine C**n and second generation kitten (maternal side) born in our cattery. He has mother’s incredibly affectionate personality, as well as his father’s super laid back disposition.

While we don’t specifically breed for size, Ocean is the most solid boy we have produced to date. At just over a year old, he has a very promising broad build with a more moderate look, which we personally prefer to the more extreme types that sadly seem to go viral on social media these days.

With Ocean’s future offspring we hope to continue working towards keeping COI low (under 10-12% complete) and clones percentage under the average 35-38% seen in many commonly used pedigree lines today (ideally, under 30%). Our goal is to work towards improving the genetic diversity of offspring produced, but while maintaining the temperament, size, and overall rugged look the Maine C**n is known and loved for.

With future parings, we’d like to see Ocean’s offspring have a slightly taller and tighter ear-set, while maintaining the lovely broad head and overall build both he and his father present with. We would also like to see a slightly longer and wider muzzle, and a deeper chin. No cat is perfect, confirmation wise, but Ocean is a big step in the right direction for us and we can’t thank Judith of MasterWeaver enough for her trust with her boy, Panther, which made this cattery work possible for us!
