" ESSO "
This jewel is only 12 months old and is one or our newer addition from an International Show Champion father AND mother from St Petersburg Russia. He has since been
re-registered here with CFA and TICA. He is a classic brown tabby with fabulous markings and no white. He is not even close to being mature and has already proven himself quite the stud cat by siring 2 of our early summer litters from 2019. When he gets a little older we will see how he does in the US show ring, but believe he will do quite well. His father was tops in his class in his country and we feel this handsome guy will do the same. His father, at 8 years of age, weighs in at 29 pounds and this beauty should top that. He is massively big boned and already hitting 23 pounds. And, he is sooooooo gentle and sweet natured and loves nothing more than being close by you at all times or right in your lap. He does this cute little thing to you in the mornings where he likes to place his paw on your cheek while you are still asleep and gently cooo at you until you wake up. When he was younger he would get in the middle of your chest and do this, ugh. As he got bigger and heavier, we broke him of that, thank God. He is an absolute treasure and joy to be around, and to have around, and is the epitome of what a quality Maine Coon should look like.

" THOR "
This gorgeous guy is one of our newer acquisitions from the Ukraine
and will be re-registered here with CFA and TICA. He is an all blue beauty with a white tuxedo (his coloring in the picture makes him look black but he is a true blue, which is mouse grey). He will be teamed with Harisu and Pia at some point this year and should produce some very distinct all blue, blue smoke and black smoke offspring. He is pictured here at 3 months. Up-to-date pictures and videos will be posted soon. At his current age of 7 months he has already topped out at 14 pounds so, he's gonna be a bigun :) - lol.
And, he has that typical Maine Coon personality of just downright
SWEET SWEET SWEET.

" TAO "
Our gorgeous Tao is just 30 months old and has been our primary stud male until the introduction of Esso above. Tao was a bit upset with having to share all the girls with Esso but has since excepted him and they have become fast friends as long as they're housed in separate pens, lol.. This beautiful creature is from a Show Champion father and mother from the Ukraine but has since been
re-registered here with CFA and TICA. Tao is a biiiiiig boy and massively big boned and will probably top the scale at over 30 pounds when mature. He is such a loving gentle giant but also fierce when protecting his girls. We had a visit from a neighborhood bear a few nights ago (we live on 10 acres out in the country) and he went ape making noises I have never heard before until that bear left. He is a beautiful classic black marble tabby with white.

We measured and weighed Tao today (11/14/19) and he is 27 inches from his nose to where his tail meets his rump. He is also 26 pounds and at 30 months old, he will top 30 pounds when fully mature. Note, the Coke can is 2 1/2 inches wide. He's gonna be
a biiiiig boy.
a biiiiig boy.

" CHARLIE "
This very handsome guy is our Charlie. He is a black smoke with white accents. He is the son of our Tori and Tao and was born the fall of 2018. He has become very instrumental in our breeding program because he produces ONLY BLACK and BLUE SMOKE babies. At some point this year he will be bred to our Harisu and a number of our other ladies. He is a very laid back sort of fella and extremely affectionate. He is also highly intelligent. These pictures were taken when he was only 3 months old and, just like his father Tao, he's gonna be a biiiiig boy :) New pics to be posted as soon as he gets through with his spring molt, lol.
