Our Gorgeous Girl
yes, singular now
DGC Coonyham Calistoga
Calistoga is our adorable
girl from our wonderful Caliente and our handsome Rough Rider. We
have always loved Callie's kittens and wanted to keep a Callie daughter for
ourselves. Toga
is into everything, playing
all the time, stealing toys and toast from the dining room table. We
love her - she's our own little imp. She is very loving, extroverted, loves
to cuddle, snuggle,
drape herself over your legs and just say "hi" all the time. Calistoga was a
tremendous comfort to Laura when we lost her mother, Caliente,
unexpectedly. Calistoga received four finals at her first adult
championship show including a Best LH cat final - WooHoo. She had two
litters of kittens and then was brought back out to show. She is now a
double-grand champion (we just need to claim her title in TICA).
Toga proved that she has the CURIOUS gene in spades, managing to get trapped
over the ceiling unexpectedly but Joe (daddy) managed to rescue her (and cover
up the small hole that permitted her inside).
Toga and Comanche had a lovely litter of four kittens in the Spring of
2005. All are with white and we named them after Sharon's
great-nephews. Here is a photo of Jamaica, Zane and Damon
(Grayson was off eating).
Calistoga had a second litter, this one sired by Lone Star and all six resulting kittens were cute. Prada has a lovely show career with Whatatrill Maine Coons in Petaluma and the other five are enjoying life, convincing their owners that Maine Coons are the BEST! Calistoga has since had two more litters sired by Lone Star. One was a folk music themed litter with Peter, Paul and Maryio (who became Coonyham Comanche, shown by April, Ashleigh and Keith of Mountain View). Peter (Night Rider) has a fan club in Alaska (his vet calls his owner to bring him in for weigh-ins). Paul is now Wyle Cat. Simon and Garfunkle were brown classic tabbies without white and both are also in great homes.
Calistoga’Äôs most recent litter was bittersweet in its
beginning for it was Lone Star’Äôs last stand. We bred him to Toga after he was diagnosed with
Lymphoma. The resulting six
kittens were welcomed, loved and cherished. They helped us deal with Lone Star’Äôs passing. Fly Boy is a special buddy kitty for
Joe. Ace is a gorgeous brown with
white (available). Storm Rider is dark and smokey with
huge ears and dramatic eyes. He
will join Michi and Russ Hagan of Williamina Maine Coons in Japan once
quarantine requirements are fully met.
Tamalpais Tom (Tommy) of Fog City now lives with Tina Dodge in Connecticut
(purring up a storm). Maserati of
Cascademtn Maine Coons now calls the Pacific Northwest her home with Blair and
Susan Milburn. CoCo lives in
Pacific Heights as a beloved pet, keeping the other Maine Coons under her
paw. All six are wonderful
babies. Thank you
Calistoga for raising them with love and
trills. Thank you Lone
Star for your legacy and for all of your
special ways.
Calistoga is taking a well-deserved break from motherhood. She loves being top-cat and is our sole
breeding cat. Here is her pedigree.
