Jeff and I have always loved cats, but our first Maine Coon cat completely changed our lives. After showing neutered males for several years, we established Windwalker Maine Coon cattery in 1995, dedicated to producing healthy, affectionate kittens with the wonderful Maine Coon Cat personality.  Breeding and showing cats is an expensive, and serious, hobby - not a "for profit" business. The price of our kittens covers vet expenses, vaccinations, genetic screening, cardiac ultrasounds and hip x-rays. premium foods, supplies, cattery upkeep, books and seminars.

Showing cats is expensive also, but the judges evaluate our cats against the standard of the Maine Coon breed, and the ribbons and titles our cats have earned demonstrate that our breeding program is producing cats that are excellent examples of what a Maine Coot Cat should be.

We are fortunate that both of us have flexible work schedules and Marilyn has a home office. As executive director of the Sacramento Transportation Management Association, she promotes commuting by carpool, vanpool, transit, or bicycle - and telecommuting!
