What's New at Cascade Mountain
June 2011: The TICA show season is a wrap. CascadeMtn Cattery had an outstanding year! May 2011: LA SGC CascadeMtn Deschutes with CH Mainesuspect DolceVie of CascadeMtn have a seven week old litter of brown classic and mackerel kittens, they are proud to announce. The litter is doing well and mom has been busy keeping their tummies full and happy. April 2011: SGC CascadeMtn Ace of Spades played the odds at the “Strip Tease” cat show in Vegas put on by “Cats and Sin City”, cat club. He was Best Cat in Show! This was very much an honor for Ace since many cats that are campaigning for international titles were in attendance. The show season will soon wrap up and we expect Ace will have an International Win in the Kitten class followed by a Long Hair International Win that he put together in only six adult shows. What an amazing accomplishment for this handsome and typey guy. We are so proud of him and the ease with which he shows. April 2011: Ace, our solid black male Maine Coon has done it again! The show report for Wine Country, Plymouth CA is out. March 2011: Our young cat, CascadeMtn Ace of Spades is hot! He was Best Cat In Show, at two TICA shows back to back. First, at the East of Eden cat show in Monterey, CA., Ace scored a final in every ring and went on the be the Best Cat in Show! He was also the highest scoring Maine Coon at the show. Next Ace went to the Cat Fancier’s of British Columbia show in Langely, B.C. At this three day show, he again came away as Best Cat in Show! While attending these shows he completed the requirements, and in record time, for the very sought after title, Supreme Grand Champion. He likes to show and is having fun at the shows, often purring throughout the day. Way to Go !! … SGC CascadeMtn Ace of Spades February 2011: CascadeMtn Ace of Spades, our solid black male has finished up showing as a kitten. He had several very goods shows and is currently standing at 17th Best International Kitten for the 2010/2011 TICA show year. See Ace’s photos at his page under “Males”. The show year is still open and we expect Ace will fall in the standings. However, we are very hopeful he will continue to stay in the top 25 Kittens and have a very well deserved January 2011: We have new kittens! The handsome couple responsible are: RW SGC Mainesuspect Samurai of CascadeMtn X RW QGC Bigrivercoon Bacardi have a beautiful litter of kittens born the middle of January. They have presented us with two brown and white kittens of each sex, and one blue classic male. Mom and kittens are doing very well, although we have discovered that Bacardi likes to keep us guessing as she moves the litter around the bedroom. November 2010: We belong to the Fog City Cat Club and annually hold our show in Pleasanton, CA, over Thanksgiving weekend. This year because of the bad weather it was white knuckles driving through Oregon. Once we cleared the pass and entered California the sun was brightly shining. The club members set up the show hall on Friday and the judges began to fly into judge our show. Saturday the show began. We think the show was a success and all who attended had a fun time. We have to brag a little bit here and talk about our black male kitten, CascadeMtn Ace O Spades. Ace is out of RW SGC CascadeMtn Kona Black Sand of Whatatrill and RW SGC Broadsway Arizona of CascadeMtn. Ace was third Best Kitten in Show! He showed nicely and received many compliments from the judges that liked him. Ace now has photos posted on our website under Males. Also, our girl Williamina Honey Bee of Cascademtn received a final at the show too. It is difficult for girls to compete against the larger and heavier boys. Honey loves the show and shows really well, always enthusiastically playing with the judges toys. Honey is from Michi and Russ Hagan of Williamina, a cattery in Japan. She is a beautiful girl with huge ears and a beautiful pattern. The newest addition to our cattery also attended her very first show! We are pleased to announce Whatatrill Sunflower of CascadeMtn. Sunny as she is affectionately called came home with us after the Fog City show. Sunny is a beautiful brown classic torbie with white and a gift from our very good friend Janet Brown of Whatatrill cattery in Petaluma California. Thanks Janet, for another really lovely girl. Sunny is out of RW SGC Mainesuspect Samurai of CascadeMtn and RW SGC Whatatrill Verdugo. Young Sunny at four months old received two finals at the show including a Best Kitten from Laurie Schiff. Way To Go Sunny!
October 2010: We had a wonderful time at the Okanagan Cat Fancier’s Cat show in Kelowna, B.C. The club presented a very nice show and both Bacardi and Bella added many points to their Championship cat status. Our lovely lady Bella (SGC Whatatrill Bella Luna of Cascademtn) made a Best Cat in Heather Robert’s ring which was the last requirement needed for her new title, Supreme Grand Champion. This is a very sought after title and for girls it is a real challenge as they often fit all the Maine Coon standard requirements in type and conformation but lack the size of their competition, the boys. Bella has size and good boning for a girl and her muzzle is wide and square then finished by a deep chin. Bacardi was so close to making her Supreme Grand Championship title but only made a Second Best cat. It was so close for Bacardi but she will have to wait for another show. September 2010: The International Cat Association (TICA) held its annual show and awards banquet in Santa Clara, CA this year. What a fun time; and Jazzy Cats did an outstanding job of producing a blockbuster of a show. Cats and their people came from all parts of the US, Asia, and Europe and S. America. We saw many friends we’ve not been with for awhile. Our friends Michi and Russ Hagan brought to us from Japan a dear and lovely young female we’ve named Honey Bee (Williamina Honey Bee of CascadeMtn). She is a beautiful and typey girl with a light warm honey colored brown classic coat. Our many thanks to Michi and Russ for making this sacrifice and bringing us this outstanding girl that they probably wished to keep in their breeding program. She is so sweet and purred the entire way home. We love her! In the adult class of the show we had a wonderful surprise as Whatatrill Bella Luna of CascadeMtn was the highest placing female Maine Coon cat with 3 finals. This is a very nice accomplishment for a female at an annual as often the boys are the only cats that place. Bella’s parents are RW SGC CascadeMtn Kona Black Sand of Whatatrill and RW TGC Whatatrill Megowatt. This fine pairing of Whatatrill and CascadeMtn produced beautiful Bella Luna and is a tribute to both catteries. Our other entry in the adult class was RW QGC Big River Coon Bacardi of CascadeMtn. She placed at the annual with one final in the adult cat class, and we are so proud of her. June 2010: RW SGC CascadeMtn Kona Black Sand of Whatatrill X RW SGC Broadsway Arizona of CascadeMtn is proud and pleased to announce their litter of three kittens born early June 2010. They have one solid black male, and two brown torbie female kittens. All the family is well and healthy. Since the kittens have less competition at the food bar they are growing fast. May 2010: The show year is over and a new one has begun. The standings for the association (TICA) are being tallied but so far it looks like Cascade Mountain has several Regional Winners: RW SGC Broadsway Arizona of Cascademtn, our very pretty black tortie is the Northwest Region’s 13th Best Cat, RW SGC Mainesuspect Samurai of Cascademtn, our handsome brown and white boy is 16th Best Cat. In the Kitten category is RW BigRiverCoon Bacardi of Cascademtn, a striking brown classic tabby girl and standing as 5th Best Kitten for the Northwest Region. February 2010: We have two new lovely female kittens! Whatatrill Bella Luna of CascadeMtn and Big River Coon Bacardi of CascadeMtn. Bacardi is a brown classic female who has the size of a boy and “boy” is she solidly built. Her head is nicely sculpted and she has a long long body. We are very much appreciative of our friend Becky Boesch for sending Bacardi our way. Bacardi is out of LA SGC CascadeMtn Deschutes and the lovely QGC Mysticoon Ebony of Big River Coon. Both of these cats have exceptional type and pedigree. Great going “Trout” and “Ebby” - you sure produced a stunning litter of kittens! IW SGCA Pinecoon Rolling Thunder of CascadeMtn, affectionately know as “Ripple” is pictured in Maine Coon magazine. It is a magazine about Maine Coons, a publication by the editors of Cat Fancy magazine. You’ll find his photo on page 4 across from an article about the historical events that shaped the look of today’s Maine Coon cat. The photo of Ripple (left side) was taken by Helmi at the TICA annual in Edmonton, Alberta.
November 2009: We have news! LA IW SGC CascadeMtn Deschutes and his lovely lady QGC Mysticoon Ebony of BigRiverCoon have produced 5 outstandingly gorgeous kittens. All are brown classic and mackerel tabby kittens although the color on one is still in question. This pairing produced some very dazzling kittens and both catteries, BigRiverCoon and CascadeMtn are excited to watch the babies as they develop. Ebony is an outstanding mom and she is very proud of her babies. Deschutes was not available to comment :-) Stay tuned for upcoming photos and more information. October 2009: We are pleased and proud to announce, Broadsway Arizona of CascadeMtn is now a Supreme Grand Champion! This amazing girl was able to fulfill all the requirements for this very sought after title in only 4 adult cat shows. This is an incredible feat for any cat and more so for a girl, since the written standard favors the male Maine Coon. Thanks to all the judges that saw past her gender and smaller than a male size. She has excellent construction and dramatic looks plus the calm and easy going nature of a show cat. We look forward to showing her over the next several months. August 2009: This month we had several fun filled weekends seeing many friends in the show halls. Janet (Whatatrill) and I traveled together to the cat show in Arcadia, CA. SoCal ExoTICA put on a well run show and we had a wonderful time. Most importantly, SGC CascadeMtn Kona Black Sand of Whatatrill was awarded the Best Cat he needed to win his Supreme Grand Champion status. We are so proud of Kona! He is such a lovable sweet boy who has a great time at the shows. He especially loves to eat all the special treats we bring along for him. July 2009: Cascademtn Deschutes, our handsome blue stud male, has completed all the requirements for, and been awarded, TICA’s Lifetime Achievement Award. This very prestigious award is granted to cats that have excelled in the show ring and have at least one International Award and two other International or Regional Award’s. Way To Go, Deschutes! June 2009: The Northwest Regional Award’s for the past show year have just been posted. Cascade Mountain is pleased to announce our Regional Winners. This year we have the Best Maine Coon Cat, Broadsway RedCorvette of CascadeMtn. Way To Go – Corrie!! Our beautiful blue mackerel boy, CascadeMtn Deschutes is Third Best Maine Coon Cat. The Northwest Region’s Best Maine Coon Kitten is our fabulous CascadeMtn Caramel Macchiato, “Mac”. Coongrats to all the Region’s winner for the 2008/2009 show season. May 2009: The new show season has begun. CascadeMtn Kona Black Sand attended the Longview Wa, show and came away from his very first adult show a ONE SHOW Grand Champion. He was also the best scoring Maine Coon Cat. Kona loves to show and have the attention of the judge. He had fun playing with the many toys and eating chicken treats. Way to Go, Kona! Our new kitten, Dolce Vie from Mainesuspect was the best scoring Maine Coon kitten at the show. Dolce had fun showing and likes to stand at the front of the judging cage to try and snag the judges toy with her paw. April 2009: We have a new kitten from our friend Sherry Campbell, Mainesuspect Maine Coons. Dolce Vie is a very cute Brown Classic Tabby female with great personality and attitude. Thanks Sherry, this girl is wonderful and so sweet! IW SGC CascadeMtn McKenzie and Broadsway Savannah of CascadeMtn are proud and happy to announce the birth of their second litter on April 15th, 2009. All kittens are reserved! August 2008: Cascade Mountain is pleased to announce our newest litter born in August, 2008. IW SGC CascadeMtn McKenzie x Broadsway Savannah of CascadeMtn has a litter of 8 beautiful new babies. See the “Kittens” page for more details. Cascade Mountain is very pleased to announce our TWO International Winners for the 2007/2008 show year. CascadeMtn Deschutes is TICA’s 8th Best Kitten, and CascadeMtn McKenzie is TICA’s 15th Best Kitten. Way to Go Guys! Along the way these boys played with, and conquered many, toys (ripping them to shreds) and they consumed a whole lotta chicken treats to keep the show experience fun. It was a memorable time (mostly fun but sometimes tiring) and we had a great time in the show hall and out on the town with many of TICA’s most enjoyable people. July 2008: Cascade Mountain is proud to announce our Regional Winners for the 2007-2008 show year: CascadeMtn Deschutes is the NW Region’s 2nd Best Kitten, and the Best Blue Mackerel Tabby Maine Coon of the year. He is also the NW Regions 9th Best Longhair Cat. CascadeMtn McKenzie is the NW Region’s 3rd Best Kitten, and the Best Red Mackerel Tabby Maine Coon of the year. McKenzie is also the NW Region’s 7th Best Longhair Cat. CascadeMtn Deschutes is the NW Region’s Best Maine Coon Kitten of the year, and CascadeMtn McKenzie is the Second Best Maine Coon Kitten of the year. May 2008: We have especially great news to share! Deschutes (aka, “Trout”) achieved the title, Supreme Grand Champion. He needed only a Best Cat for this important goal and at the Longview show brought home: 2 Best Cats, and 3 Second Best Cats. He did all this in only 1 day, Saturday - and didn’t return on Sunday. A heat wave led us to believe the non-air conditioned show hall was best left for another time. April 2008: Coonyham Maserati of CascadeMtn, “Mari” has had her babies – 5 beautiful brown squirmy sausages (okay… they are kittens but currently look like little pigs in a blanket)! The proud dad is RW SGC Coondalay MacCallan of Pinecoon (really… he doesn’t have a clue). Please visit our kittens page for details. All kittens are reserved. We have a new kitten! Broadsway cattery sent us a very special girl, Broadsway RedCorvette of CascadeMtn. She is a red with white ticked tabby and is a beauty! See her page in the Cat section. The very best of news! McKenzie earned his very sought after title Supreme Grand Champion, at the Lodi, CA, show. Incredibly, he accomplished this amazing deed in only 3 adult shows. Coongrats to this beautiful and sweet guy! November 2007: The kittens from the Callan vs. Callie summer litter are old enough for the show hall. We kept 2 kittens from the litter: Rocket and Blaze, (Rocket who is now CascadeMtn McKenzie and Blaze who is now CascadeMtn Deschutes). In November the kittens have been in Langley, B.C. for their first kitten show and then we went to the FogCity show outside of San Francisco. They show beautifully and are doing well in the show having won many finals. Their brother “Billy” went to a new home in Portland where his is loved and adored. August 2007 - We have a beautiful new kitten -- Mari (Coonyham Maserati of CascadeMtn)! Summer 2007 - We are pleased to announce that both Daytona and Indianapolis earned Regional Awards this past show year 2006/2007. See their respective pages for more details. Also this summer, Callie presented us with 3 beautiful kittens. The proud dad is RW SGC Coondalay MacCallan of Pinecoon. Please visit our kittens page for details. Spring 2007 – Time slipped through our fingers and we didn’t do many updates through the year. Our best news was that both Indiana and Daytona finished the show year having earned their Supreme Grand Champion titles! We are so pleased to see two kittens from our first litter obtain that very sought after title! Oct 2006: The past couple of months we’ve been on the road showing Daytona and Indiana. The road trip we took to Reno was a fun time with great weather. We met up with our good friend Janet Brown of WhataTrill, and enjoyed a fun weekend together at the cat show (and at the casino). The kittens are showing well and doing great in the show hall. They are holding their own in the kitten class and learning the ropes of traveling. It is a lot of fun to take them to shows. We plan to be at a show in Portland the end of October and then onto the CanAm show in Richmond, B.C. in November.

July 2011: We took our new young male kitten, Lavaman Red Ale to a show in Los Angeles. He was so noisy on the way to the airport I thought the flight would be awful with everyone upset by the crying cat. Once on the plane he didn’t make a peep! I was so happy he saved it all for the car. On the way home he was just as good, and laid his head down to sleep. Lavaman did great at the show and was the Best Maine Coon kitten in show and the 5th Best Allbreed Kitten with a count of 56 kittens! Yay! Lavaman. He is a red and white tabby male with a beautiful pattern and is already getting quite large. We will be showing Lavaman, and his sister Darby at the Surrey, B.C. show in August.
