July 26, 2010
- Today we drove up to Tufts University so that Jack could participate in Dr. Lisa
Freeman's study on the effects of nutrition and HCM
in Maine Coons. Jack was tested by x-ray, DNA and
ultrasound. Even though we've already had Jack DNA-tested and
echoed twice before, it was good to be reassured again that our boy
continues to screen clear with a normal healthy heart. Good news
for us as breeders plus it was nice to contribute to the research which
may benefit future generations of Maine Coons. Unfortunately
Janey and Astra weren't eligible to participate since one is nursing
kittens and the other is under the age of two years.

In Loving Memory
of TICA RW, SGM Ebony
4/12/88 - 2/24/09
Ebony was born
April 12, 1988 in our backyard! We managed to coax her into a
humane trap when she was 6 months old and had her spayed. She
continued to live outside with her mother and siblings until we
convinced her to come inside and live with us in October of 1991.
Ebony was our constant companion ever since, usually sitting on Phil’s
desk between him and his computer monitor.
Over the years
many visitors commented on her stunning solid black coat, vivid green
eyes and delightful disposition. So…. in January of 2007, shortly
before Ebony’s 19th birthday, we decided to see if she’d
like to be a show cat. Well she loved it! She climbed the
scratching post and wowed everyone who saw her. She went on to
earn a Supreme Grand Master title in five shows and earned a ninth
place Regional Win in the NE Region of TICA. She was honored at
one of her first shows with a special ribbon for the oldest cat in
show. Ebony retired from showing and continued to grace our lives
and home with her ageless wisdom and beauty for another two years,
leaving us just a few weeks shy of her 21st birthday.
We will always
miss Ebony's shining presence, rumbling purr and meows of greeting when
we came home. Rest well sweet Ebony and enjoy the warmth and peace of
the Rainbow Bridge.
