Skittles or "Skit" as we call her is out of my National Winning male Jude.  She has beautiful attributes from both of her parents.  Huge ears, stunning color and coat and is a very large female like her father.  Skit is a funny creature and will make biscuits on my belly for hours.  She loves to be held and cuddled and has a favorite blanket and if you are looking for her you can almost always find her there.

He will be forever remembered as the backbone to Highlander Maine Coons and the sire of many great offspring who will live on in our breeding program.

UPDATE:

Highlander She Wore Blue Velvet

SIRE:  GC RW Shubacoons Kenworth of Highlander, DM
DAM: GC The Cat Spa Leilani of Highlander, DM

Ok, so what was I thinking keeping a blue tabby?  But, if you have the pleasure of seeing Velvet in person you would understand.  She meets the standard to a T and has the most beautiful coat, color and pattern.  She is one of the best blue tabbies I have ever seen.  She is also VERY large, 9.25lbs at four months old.  She is a beast.  Velvet is by far the sweetest cat with the most gentle personality.  She is winning in the show hall at four months old following in the footsteps of many kittens out of this breeding.

Very sad news on Velvet.  She cycled early and developed a uterine infection.  We tried to treat her, but it just was not meant to be.  She is now spayed.

CH Howlyn GOTALLTHE Rubys of Highlander
Silver patched tabby and white
DOB 12/20/09
SIRE:  CH RW Howlyn Jumanji
DAM: Howlyn Holly go Lightly

Ruby is from TICA Breeders Lynn and Howard.  I waited for Ruby for a couple of years and finally she was born.  Ruby is a beautiful silver patched tabby and white with a long rectangular body, nice boxy square muzzle and beautiful long shaggy coat.  Ruby is a little vixen and keeps all the girls in the house stirred up.  She loves to run and play chase and I think will stay as a kitten forever.  She will make beautiful kittens when matched with our males as her pedigree is a total outcross for us.

Rufus is a very special male that I bred whom I co-owned with Mckittycreek Maine Coons.  I am very proud of him as he was out of a line that I brought to the US from the UK (Coonflakes Tom Jones of Highlander).  Rufus produced some of the most beautiful babies.  I have shared his offspring with many and will remain proud of what he has done for our breed.

Cosmo is a male out of a very special female of mine GC Highlander Bella of Mckittycreek (one show grand).  Cosmo is large and beautiful and equally as sweet.  Cosmo's mother  Bella is the daughter of my Desdemona, who I treasure forever.  I showed Cosmo to a regional kitten win and he granded very quickly.  Cosmo sired a litter for me and I have his daughter Highlander Mini Me of Euphoria to carry on his legacy.    I will treasure Cosmo forever and I am proud that he will carry my cattery name of Highlander in honor of his mother and grandmother.  

 

GC Highlander Spanky of Mckittycreek
Heart Echo clear 12/2010

Spanky is a stunning black and white boy who is massive in size.  I think his head is as big as a basketball.  He has giant ears and his lynx tips are so big they curl.  Spanky is as sweet and gentle as they come.  He loves for you to hold him and cuddle.  Black and White is not a normal color for me, but you cannot deny this cat as he is the quintessential Maine Coon boy.  I co-own Spanky with Mckittycreek Maine Coons.  He is very special to me as he is half out of a line I brought in that created beautiful cats.  I have shared many offspring from this line and the legacy will live on.

Oh my.  What a kitten.  She has the most outgoing adventurous personality!  She is constantly purring and looking to me for adoration.  I love her.  She is out of a male I bred from UK lines and Kelly, a calico mom.  She has her mother?s personality.  Always into everything.  Rosie has beautiful vibrant patching, tall ears finished with lynx tips, and a perfect head with a strong deep chin.  Rosie is the most dog-like of my girls and follows me everywhere.
 I love my little Rosie

Pandora or 'PANDY' as I call her is a beautiful blue patched tabby female.  She is large like her mother who is 16lbs and has beautiful coat and color.  She is a sweet as they come and a wonderful addition to my breeding program.  She is from two generations of tested lines and a nice outcross pedigree.  How did I get Pandora?  It started with a phone call from Traci Lovelace of Damn Yankee Maine Coons in May 2012.  She told me she was not going to breed anymore and wanted to know if I wanted Pandora for my program.  How could I resist?  I picked her up in June and she is a wonderful addition.  I am looking forward to great babies from her.

Redmond, Redmond, Redmond. 

 What a doll.  He has the best personality and he and Peterbuilt are fast friends.   He eats like someone is going to steal his food and delights in making Peterbuilt chase him around with the toy in his mouth.   He is a man in every way.  Beautiful mahogany red color with large tall ears finished with lynx tips.  He has Long rectangular body and great boning.  He is approaching 10 lbs and just turned 5 months old.   At his first show at just four months in a class of 17 Maine Coon kittens, he not only made 5 of 6  finals, but also earned a BEST KITTEN (his sister beat him in one ring).   This boy is going to be lovely with my girlie girls and I look for spectacular babies from him.  I would like to thank all the breeders involved with this pedigree and look forward to working with all in the future.

 I have had cats that love to show, but this cat epitomizes a top show cat.  Always a gentleman and just loves the whole experience.  He loves all the judges and shows that by swirling his body and butting.  He is sweet and engaging.  I am truly blessed to have him in my home.  He is an adult now after being highest scoring kitten in show many times and in the adult class his first time out he became a Grand Champion.

 
It was Megan's first litter with my female that I co-own with her and she did not disappoint!  Rhiannon had six baby boys and Cooper stood out like a sore thumb from day one.  He reminds me of Rhiannon's brother GP NW Highlander Tony Bennett of Wenlock.  He has amazing pattern and coat color.   What a great body feel and fantastic boning on this boy.  He has the best eyes on any cat that I have bred they are so large and expressive.  He has a clean smooth profile and a deep strong chin.  Cooper is a sweetheart and his father Donovan was the same showing a lovely temperament.  I am happy and thrilled to share this boy with Linda.   Thank you Julie and Robert for your blessing.

Congrats Megan on your first home bred Grand Champion and thank you Linda for showing Cooper for his new title.  And just a baby at eight months old.

 
I am thrilled to have a part of this very special boy.  He is so very elegant and sweet.  He has a wonderful muzzle and perfect profile.  His eyes are dreamy, just like he is.  He is from a special male and a female that I have admired.  Susan and Richard are such dear friends and I am elated to share this boy with them.  I look forward great things from him.

Well, what can I say.  When people would call to ask if I had any available kittens, I would say no all the while looking at her sweet face and knowing I should part with her.  But, alas, I could not.  She has probably the best head I have bred to date.   It is perfection.  She also has a long body, painted on pattern and her mother's perfect white star in the middle of her back.  She is my baby.  She is a little vixen and knows it.  I hope she follows in the footsteps of her mother and is a good mom who produces stunning babies.

Maggie is a gorgeous brown patched tabby and white female out of a very special sire and dam.  Dam Rhiannon will soon be five and she has contributed some wonderful offspring to the breeding program and I am elated to have one of her last babies.  Sire Chuck Norris has just started breeding and with just two litters to date his kittens are simply amazing.  Maggie Mae has all the details I love with huge ears to finish off her beautiful expression and coat factor.  I would like to thank her breeder Megan for this wonderful gift.  
 

Gracie, Gracie the spitting image of your mother with a touch of your father for good measure.  She is truly a MIRACLE baby as Dr. Beckett saved her life when she was born.  So, she will stay with me.  Gracie has painted on pattern like her father and a beautiful chunky face like her mother.  She reminds me of a bear cub.  Gracie got her name as it is amazing she is with us and after her mother Miracle.  Very fitting for a very special girl. 

Who could deny this sweet face. 
I always wanted to name a kitten Pebbles and this one is going to be the one. 
She is a beautiful blend of mother and father and I would like to thank Linda for a dream come true with this beautiful brown baby.

I am very excited to welcome this gorgeous brown classic tabby and white female from dear friend Stephanie.  She is really hard to fault and she has everything I love in a Maine Coon. She has gorgeous large ears , perfect profile and pattern for days. She is a large girl and reminds me of her grandmother.  I look for great things from this girl!!!

She goes back to some very social cats of mine. Barney being one of those.

Max T or Tubby as he is affectionately known is a gorgeous brown mackerel tabby and white huge male that I have adored since he was a baby.  He is a nice blend of mom and dad and is as sweet and gentle as a lamb. He granded in style at a young age making all the top ten finals. I am so proud of this boy !!!

For the show season 2016-2017 Tubby earned a national win. He is CFA's 23rd best cat in championship and best Maine Coon in championship.  We are humbled and thrilled with Tubby's achievements. He was shown by my breeding partner Linda Murphy with love and devotion.  This is a very special win for a very special cat who epitomizes the Maine Coon breed.

I never thought I would ever get Amazing Grace bred since she is as big as most males.  I did and she did not disappoint.  I am keeping this little jewel, Ave Maria, as she is an exquisite example of the Maine Coon.  She has large expressive eyes, amazing coat, color, pattern and all the type she needs to represent our breed.  She is going to follow in her mother's footsteps and be a nice sized girl with the beautiful type I love.  She is a lap kitty and purrs non-stop when you pet her.

I would like to thank Susan and Richard for this adorable baby and their friendship.
