Windwalker Wonder
Windwalker Wonder - Best Cat in the Mid Pacific region
 
Easy-going and charming, Wonder is a CFA Grand Champion a TICA Supreme Grand Champion and an International Winner.  He is very well-balanced, with a lovely head, large well-set ears with long, thick lynx tips, nicely-shaped eyes and a strong, square muzzle.  His chin is deep, his profile gently curved, and his body is long, solid and muscular. 
Stringent tests
Wonder

Before we decided to keep Wonder for our breeding program, we had the DNA test done to make sure he does not carry the MyBPC gene. Then Dr. Lori Siemens, certified veterinary cardiologist, performed echocardiography with Doppler color-flow imaging to check his heart, and a vet x-rayed his hips to make sure he does not have hip dysplasia, another possibly-inherited disease.

Even when he passed these stringent evaluations, we wouldn't use Wonder in a breeding program if he weren't an outstanding example of the breed. We demonstrated that by taking him to cat shows to compete with other Maine Coon cats, where he earned the points to give him the titles shown at left.

And even though he has lots of ribbons, titles and awards, it's his gentle charm and intelligence, the goofy, sweet personality that people expect in a Maine Coon cat, that makes him an excellent candidate for fathering kittens.

Wonder's personality comes through in all his kittens, and he loves his kittens.  When his babies are born, he waits outside the door. When they're old enough for him to be with them, he lets them climb all over him. He hides in a tube and paws them as they jump in at him.

He's as patient as their mother. He cleans them and lies happily as they sleep next to him. It's amazing to see.

"Tank" is four months old in the picture above. He has the gentle, sweet personality of Wonder, his father, and the intelligence of Acadia, his mother. He looks just like Wonder, and has Wonder's same mannerisms.

Tatanka Iyotanka was Sitting Bull's Sioux name.

Coonyham Lone Ranger of Windwalker

Coonyham Lone Ranger

Ranger shakes hands, gives "high five," and stretches to his very tall height when asked "how tall are you?"  But his favorite, unprompted behavior is to give us a hug.

TICA International 3rd Best Maine Coon Alter 1998

Ranger was neutered at eight months and never produced kittens. 

 

Ranger nine years oldRanger's heart is ultrasounded annually to monitor the progress of the thickened left ventricular wall and the enlarged papillary muscle, conditions that are evidence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).  We plan to have many more years with him and we treasure every day with him.

In the picture below, Ranger is 11 years old.
