I went and dug out my old books - Cormac was born in November '78 and made his championship in early '80 (that Johnson City show was around the first of the year IIRC). I wish I had a photo of him up on the 'net, I'll have to go digging through my scrapbooks and scan something.
My current cats are sort of a grab-bag. The little Lilac whose picture is back up this thread is descended from Maloja's Mr. B, Maloja's Billy Budd (I LOVE the Maloja look - majestic blue points!), the Taikablu BP line, and a whole crowd of Brock'Ann Lilacs. Her grouchy great-uncle the Blue Point is also a Maloja cat on his sire's side, his dam was a delightful BP lady but had Ophir and Thaibok in her background - NOT good for temperament! (I personally witnessed Thaibok Teriyaki take a large chunk out of a judge in the ring next to me!) He also has Fan-T-Cee and Quire Gal-X-C back of him. My "middle cat" the neurotic Siamese was purchased at a show when I fell in love with her dam. She was bred by Catananda, mostly Singa and Bel Canto on her sire's side, and Chanthara on her dam's. She is afraid of children but she loves our dog (go figure!) I think she was traumatized when my kids were toddlers . . . :-(
Went to your website and LOVE your kitties! The blue point girl at 11 mos. is the spitting image of my middle girl, she is now 12, my big male is 14, and the little Lilac is 2 and running the others ragged.
Wow, I never heard that about Teriyaki before! He is about 5 generations behind our breeding girl (a lilac) and I always LOVED the way he looks. His profile is to-die-for even by todays standards.
Our girl is Oklahoma bred and comes from older lines, In Lieu (which was right here in Tulsa) Chosen - another OK cattery, Nor-Bob and some others. Consequently she's not as typey as todays show cats and her kits retain some of the classic look. But, she makes up for it by instilling a wonderful, people loving temperment on the more extreme type our boys bring.
This is the father of the blue girl (and all the kits on that page) He is from australia out of Tweema lines
I don't think I've ever heard of Taikablu or Brock'Ann, but I've heard Fan-T-Cee inbred out the wazoo and had some health issues to show for it.
