For interested people the pedigree is also available.
Name : Penobscot Onida (aka Onida or Nida)
Colour : black/white Harlequin
Born : June 28th, 2004
Onida is a elegant girl. She doesn't like strangers much, but to me she is a real sweetheart. Onida is a wish come true. I was searching for a Maine Coon with Van or Harlequin markings for some time and then Onida was born, her name means The One Searched For. Onida has had three litters, but the last two were born through C-section and that's more than enough. She can enjoy her retirement now.
Name : Tenfold's Onyx (aka Onyx or Nyxi)
Colour : black tabby/white
Van
Born : April 11th, 2009
Onyx still is a young male and a big boy for his age. He is already neutered, because he started marking. He wouldn't become a real stud anyway, but now he won't breed at all. Onyx is a lovely, laidback boy and will live his life as a neuter, just play and cuddle. He will attend shows on occasion. If he only knew how big he is, haha, that would make a big difference.
Here you can find Onyx's showresults.
Name : Tenfold's Don't Call Me Baby! (aka Babs or Baboeska)
Colour : cream tabby classic/white
Born : June 9th,2004
Babe is a small and wicked girl, who knows very well what she wants and especially what she doesn't want. Breeding Babe wasn't a succes, she wasn't able to carry a litter to term and so she is neuterd. Now she has all the time to care for kittens, which she totally loves.
Name : Tenfold's Suzy Q. (aka Suus)
Colour : black tortie/white bicolour
Born : September 22nd, 2006
Suzy is a beautiful solid girl with a great personality. Unfortunately it didn't work to get her pregnant, so she is retired. She is the half sister of Ice and also family to Onida, Enya and Onyx. Now Suzy can do what she loves the most, taking care of babies and maybe sometime in the future she will join the others at a show.
Name : The Ypsilon Clan's Nikita (aka Nikki or Kita)
Born : October 29th, 2008
Colour : black tortie silver tabby mackerel/white
Nikita is beautiful, big and strong girl, but with a difficult character. She is happy in the group, but actualy doesn't know what to think of people. One moment she comes and sits on your lap for a cuddle, the next moment she stays away as far as she can. I don't think this is a good character for a breeding girl, so I decided to neuter her and she can live her life the way she wants.
Name : Tenfold's Enya (aka Enya or Ennepen)
Born : October 10th, 2005
Colour : black tabby/white Van, odd-eyed
Enya is a lovely girl with a great character, also she is a odd-eyed, which I totally love. She gave birth to her 3rd litter by C-section and being almost 6 years old I thought it was enough and she was neutered. Now she can enjoy the rest of her life and take charge of the other cats, something she loves to do.
Name : Tenfold's Vanilla-Ice (aka Ice or Spicy)
Born : May 5th, 2006
Colour : Cream/white
Ice has been the stud for years, the best and most ideal stud you can have as a breeder. Very sweet to the girls, very layed back as a stud and father to very beautifull offspring. Ice is a bit shy, but very gentle and sweet. He earned his markings and now he can enjoy his retirement and the rest of his life. Only time will tell how soon he will exchange his room for the rest of the house.
