Mishikoonz' up and coming princess, Miss Cinnamon Trails T, is currently spending some quality time with her co-owner, Kathryn Queen, being introduced to the world of show cats.

Showing a female Maine coon is always harder than a male, because even though the standard instructs judges to give allowance for the size difference, most still choose the larger cat. I know you'll miss your buddy Logan, but be a good girl for Kathryn. On October 28, MiniMina, Logan and Rosetta were HCM scaned at Oregon State Vet Clinic. In Maine coons, while there is a genetic test for HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), some genetically negative cats can still have heart disease, so it's important for Maine coons to also be monitored with ultrasound exams.

My heart is in central Oregon, in sight of the mountains I so love...but Pete is even more precious to me. I missed living like a normal couple, and in September, we moved to Corvallis. I'm happily surprized at how much I like it here. I work for a hospital again just a mile down the road from our house. The kitties, too, took the upheaval in stride, and while they may miss thier outdoor runs, huge windows that overlook trees full of squirrels and birds help make the loss bearable. (Along with the promise that we'll work something out in the spring to get them some fresh air). In winter, when the temperature plummets and the ground turns white, even a fluffy coon is happy to have a warm home!
