Darktower Maine Coons

 

Champion Kititas Portiaof Darktower - Poshie.

Sire: Coonyham Wrangler x Dam: Kassaro Constanse.

2000-2005

 

Poshie was born in July 2000 and we waited over a year for her. She was a truly beautiful cat, who thought she was really something (hence the name!).  Always into mischief, we created a sweetie jar on the hearth for her and still many cats and kittens enjoy eating from the jar, even if its only the same treats as what's in their biscuit bowls!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Premier Darktower Macavity

Sire: Belujondra Montezuma X Dam: Ch & Pr Noracoon Tiberia

2002 - 2006

 

Mackie was  a real softy, he was one of 5 white kittens, of which 4 survived. He loved people and was the life and soul of of the cats. He was very mischievous and often the start of any naughtiness in the house, specially climbing on the mantelpiece or up the curtains!  Unfortunately he developed Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) and died from this condition despite medication and lots of care.  The test for HCM was not available, since it was we have tested all our cats and have now eradicated the MYBPC3 gene from our breeding programme.  He will be sadly missed.

 

 

Grand Premier Beardwood Thomas OMalley

Sire: Gr. Ch. Coonquest Oscar ofBeardwood x Dam:Matagot Vashti.

1997 - 2009

 

Tom was the ultimate cat!  He was a very handsome cat with a wonderful personality, and even though he had been very ill with HCM for the past few years, he never lost that commanding presence. He was definitely a mummy's boy and would fret whenever I was away and then be glued to my side.  He would sit next to me on the arm of the couch and stare at me in adoration.  The feeling was definitely mutual!  Thank you to Norrie& Eric Crook for allowing us to have him, we will really miss him.

 

 

 

 

Champion & Premier Darktower Clyde of Saville - Clydie.

Sire: Ch. & Gr.Pr. Beardwood Thomas O'Malley x Dam: Ch. Purdyston Dixie Belle.

2009 - 2013

 

Clydie (The Red Marauder) was from the first Darktower litter. There were nine kittens in the litter but he was obviously the strongest in personality. He was a real character and liked nothing more than charging into the bathroom or messing in the sink. Clydie's speciality was biting feet and teaching the kittens his marauding ways. He will be sadly missed.

 

 

 

Buraig Sophia ofDarktower - Soxy or Soph.

Sire: Gr. Ch. Coonquest Oscar of Beardwood x Dam: Huffenpuff Mica Avhimmel.

1998-2014



Soxy was a precocious cat from the moment i first met her!! She got on my knee and nicked my sandwich at about 8 weeks.  She was a solid black & white smoke a colour i have always loved. She was a very cheeky cat who likes a lot of attention and to knead your hair. She had beautiful kittens with wonderful temperaments who were very bold and quick learners.  She will be sadly missed.

 

 

 

Premier Darktower Aphrodite - Afro.

Sire: Seascape Hawkeye X Dam: Buraig Sophiaof Darktower

2002-2014

 

Aphie was born on Valentines Day 2002. She was a solid black and full of mischief. She loved to be the centre of attention but was very independant, loved her kitties, but thought she ws one herself and loved it when the other cats had kittens as they became her playmates. She was often found on the Maine Coon Cat Club stand at the Supreme Show, showing off and messing with all the tickling sticks, which she loved. We miss her very much

 

Butch

 

Butch was our beloved chuhuahua, who sadly had to be put to sleep in August 2010.  He was a lovely dog who thought he was a cat. He loved his Maine coons and played with them all the time. He didn't do walking, but was happy to go out in the car as often as possible. He slept in our bed and was jealous if the cats tried to get in.  He was a really friendly dog and will be missed by us and the cats!!
