Our first kittens will be born in December

We are super excited and can hardly wait for the first kittens to be born after two years of planning and dreaming. I am so grateful to my mentor Marita R. Sørensen / Taschanas Maine Coon, the breeder of our wonderful Bellona and the owner of the one and only, prince charming, Inferno, for all your support! Without you I would have given up on cat breeding long time ago! I really love sharing this adventure with you! Also a big thanks to Inferno's breeder Johanna Eli Forssblad / Lynx Luna Maine Coons for entrusting us with these unique blood lines.

More than four weeks have now passed since the mating. Bellona and Puma's bellies are growing day by day. Up until this weekend I did not have much faith that the mating had been successful - but now I am sure. These two litters will be the last after Inferno. He has stolen our hearths, and we will miss him deeply when he return back home again this coming Friday, after his long visit in Tromsø. Read more

Individual data on genetic diversity and health
Genetic diversity tested by MyCatDNA measures the cat’s genetic diversity by screening thousands of sites in its DNA. Genetic diversity represents the heterozygosity level within the breed. Each tested cat updates the view of the breed’s genetic diversity.  The degree of inbreeding can be measured by using a Coefficient of Inbreeding (COI) in PawPeds. This is the probability that two copies of the same variant at a gene have been inherited from an ancestor common to both the sire and dam. The COI is based on the pedigree (PawPeds) and similar for all the kittens in a litter, while the Genetic Diversity is based on the DNA from each individual cat in relation to the population as a whole (MyCatDNA).
