tuftsntrills Our Little Abigail is now four weeks old and can’t be contained! She wants out of her safe haven (tent) to explore the big wide world (Our Kitten Room). She talks to you when you enter then room and answers you when you talk to her! So precious! She’s a very nice, adorable female Brown Classic Maine Coon.
Our first litter of kittens arrived, Friday, August 5th!!
We are blessed with one little Brown Classic girl! We will post pictures of our little girl soon!

A tremendous show! Everything was on time and well run! The Juniors were in charge and did a great job! We were very excited to be in a wonderful hall and see our old friends again! The new Maine Coon Posse was formed at this show! Of course, Maine Coon folks are always pleased to add honorary Posse members!
Our Miss Heidi placed in 3 finals! She placed 2nd Long Hair, 3rd Long Hair and 4th Long Hair. Much Heartful thanks to the gentle handling by Vicki Shields and Adriana Kajon.

May 28 & 29 Muskogee, OK
We were very excited to attend the First Annual Muskogee Cats show. What a wonderful locale!
The competition was very intense at this show. It was very nice to meet new Maine Coon people, with gorgeous cats!
Our Lil Heidi was really expressing her fright and dislike of the show hall but was still chosen for 3 finals despite her lack of congeniality! She placed 4th Long Hair twice and Best Kitten. Many thanks to Vickie Shields and Adriana Kajon, Jim and Donna Armel and Elaine Hawksworth-Weitz, for their exceptional patience for our very frightened little girl. We appreciate the very kind words about her being an exceptional example of the breed. We are truly blessed.
Our next stop was the Dallas Pet Expo held May 21-22, by the Fort Worth Feline Fanciers
Only our Lord Baxter attended this show due to the expected high noise level. Our Miss Heidi is still a bit skittish in the show hall so we saved her the undue stress. But of course our well seasoned Lord Baxter was his normal, calm, cool, & collected show boy!
We were very excited to receive 6 finals. Our handsome boy placed 6th, 5th, 10th, 5th, 4th LH, and 2nd LH. Our thanks to Joe Edwards, D’Ann Kovick, Jim Armel, and Toni Meisberger for selecting him in their rings!

Heart Scans
We were very excited to have the HCM scans perfomed on CascadeMtn Lord Baxter and Myluckstars Xena of TuftsnTrills. They both scanned normal, with the comments that Lord Baxter had one of the best scans there! We are excited to be able to proceed with our planned mating between the two of them!
We sprang into spring by making the long trek to Mission City Cat Club show in Garden Ridge Texas, April 2-3. Lord Baxter did extremely well with 3 finals which gave him his Triple Grand Champion Title!
This was also the first show for our Lil Heidi of Jurrassic Park. She did very well. She was 6th Best Kitten of the Show and stole the hearts of Carol and Steve Lawson. They gave her such glowing comments. She received Best Kitten in Steve Lawsons Ring. He dubbed her “ his sassy Lil Red Head” Mega thanks to Slavka of Jurrassic Park/FI for this lovely girl. I see great things in her future!
Back to Oklahoma April 30 -May 1 for the Thunderkatz Show held at the Ok State Fairgrounds
The new year found us in Waco, Texas Feb 13-14 for the Big Tex Cat Club Show. Here Lord Baxter received the one final he needed to achieve his Grand Champion Title! Our thanks to Nicki Crandall-Seibert for the final we needed!
March 4th found us in the DFW Airport, Dallas, Texas to take our precious new baby home. Miss Heidi flew from Jurrassic Park Maine Coons in Slovakia to the US, accompanied by a courier of Stefan Petshipping, owned and operated by Stefan Seper. She was treated like royalty. The moment we unzipped her carrier she popped her head out purring. It was love at first purr! She is certainly a momma’s girl! Such a beauty!
