RW QGC Etude Felix Nameque

DOB: January 22, 2007

Felix is a blue silver out of Freya and an Aby-variant who was visiting here from South Africa. He is doing quite well in the show hall, having just made Quad Grand Champion. Felix will be a father for the first time in the beginning of May. Felix was named after a very old tune out of the William Byrd Virginal Book. His name translates as "happy is my name". He is totally Greg's cat, he is a calm, (normally) dignified boy who likes to lie upside down in Greg's arms purring while his Papa rubs his belly.

Felix's Pedigree
(Abymoon Tyko of Dushara x Etude Freya)

Felix has been DNA tested clear for PK deficiency. He does not carry cinnamon.

CH Etude Blue Rondo a la Turk

DOB: May 2, 2007

Rondo is a blue boy from our ruddy line. We named him after the Dave Brubeck tune. Rondo has fathered a very exciting kitten in our silver lines. We're currently waiting for our ruddy girl Jazzy to come into heat and we'll be breeding them together hoping to get the best of both parents.

Rondo's Pedigree
(CH Dushara Future Tzarina x GC Rampageous Daydream Believer)

Rondo has been DNA tested as a carrier for PK deficiency. He does not carry cinnamon.

QGC Sunfox Zadok of Etude

DOB: October 7, 2008

Zadok (named after the Handel coronation anthem) is a beautiful ruddy boy out of Sultan, and will be taking his father's place in our breeding program. His mother is Minuet, a lovely sweet girl owned by Lee Dowding of Sunfox Somalis. We are very pleased with Zadok, who looks to have inherited the best characteristics from both parents. Thus far, his show career is looking very promising, in his first adult show, he ended up being Best Cat in Championship.

Zadok's Pedigree
(Etude The Tail of Tsar Sultan x GC, RW Sunfox Minuet)

Both of Zadok's parents have been DNA tested clear for PK deficiency. Zadok carries the dilution gene, but not cinnamon.

Stradivaripuss Jupiter of Etude

DOB: December 9, 2008

Jupiter came to us from Stradivaripuss cattery in Salzburg, Austria. We're very excited about this wonderful new boy, he has lovely type, excellent color, soft as silk fur and a lovely gentle personality. We're looking forward to seeing how he does on the show bench as he grows up, and are planning to eventually make lovely babies with him.

Jupiter's Pedigree
(Yo El Rey's Cool-Charme x IC Baraf-Dawo's Melissa)

Both of Jupiter's parents have been DNA tested free of Progressive Retinal Atrophy. Jupiter carries dilute.
