This for a breeder is one of the highest honors a cat can receive. But Desdemona attained this feat in style, as with everything this minx does. Desdemona was a gift to me from Paul and Ramona Shuba, of Shubacoons Maine Coons. I know how hard it was for them to part with her, but I promised I would love and show her to the best of my ability. And that I did with the help of Ramona and Paul and my other breeders friends and family cheering us on. She became a National Winner in the 2005-2006 show season and to date remains the highest scor-ing and ranking Maine Coon kitten in the history of our breed and the only one to be highest scoring long hair kitten, premiership or championship Maine Coon nationally.

6 Desi is the progeny of a National Winner, GC NW Mckittycreek T Ruxpin of Shubacoons and Shuba-coons Spumoni of The Cat Spa. But Desi did not stop there. To date she produced two National win-ners, and two Regional Winners, with her one and only love CFA CH, TICA IW SGC Tabbeyrd I am The Walrus. Trust me, I have tried her with others, but to no avail, it is only Walrus she wants. Her qualifying offspring are: Desi loves to travel around the country and visit her extended family. We call it going on holiday. Al-though I miss her while she is visiting Walrus, I know that she is gracing others with her sweetness and I am glad to share her with the people who made this all possible. Thanks to everyone who loved and showed these spectacular cats and made this dream possible.
