"Ditey"
Brown Marbled Tabby
Sire: SGC
Kharaghendu Image of Hunters Exotic
Dam: Perl De Luna Freya of Species Bengal
Born: January 2, 2000
Ditey is carrying five kittens in the above picture.
She is notorious for throwing wonderful heads and accentuated long and "wild-stalking"
bodies with "doodle art" patterns in her kits. If ever there was
a seductive "Marilyn Monroe" of the cat world, it is her! Several
of her kits have proven to be the ultimate for companion / animal assisted
therapy cats, meeting all of our stringent qualifications.
Ditey males have been notorious for show successes, and tempermant is to die
for! She is presently responsible for several Quad Grand Champions.
Ditey keeps letting us know it is babies she wants, and she is a magnificent
mom. We asked her this past two years if she would like to retire from a litter
a year, and she lets us know in her joy and look in her eyes that she would
rather be pregnant and raising babies than stop. She loves babies. We will
give her every opportunity as long as it makes her happy (which for now -
it does). No rush to retire this one, an she has not had many litters in her
6 years of breeding.
We listen to our cats. Ditey loves babies, and birthing is without incidence.
She just gets on with raising her precious babies.
Ditey is pregnant with her last litter after which she will retire and remain
Davey-Lee's loving pet.

Mom's Dear Soul Mate and Assistant "Alpha Cat"
Brown Marbled Tabby
(Now retired after being a terrific mom)
Sire: Goldspurr
Mac Greine
Dam: Kharaghendu Spitz of Hunters Exotic
Born:
May 30, 1999
Champion in UFO, Micky stopped her show career to have
important babies!
This is one of our substantial females that has strong boning and a muscular
build. She says, "Never mind my large ears, they can fold easy, and besides,
most of our guys have really, really small ears, so they can compensate for
mine."
What I love the most about McSpitz is the strength of character expressed
in her face (and demeanor). She has a prominent muzzle with large white whisker
pads, strong chin and excellent profile.
McSpitz is a rather unique cat. As far as she is concerned she runs the entire
cattery being that she is Alpha Mom's alpha cat.
She also considers herself the
"Navigation Manager" as she rides on the dash of our van whenever
we go out.
Take her to a pet store and she thinks she owns that place too.
McSpitz is my buddy, my pal. I love her to bits and she knows it!

"McCawdai"
Brown Marbled Tabby
TICA Award of Excellence Northwest Region
Second Best Brown (black) Marbled Tabby Bengal of the Year - 2005
Sire: Kharaghendu Daidak
of Bengal Exotic FX
Dam: CH Hunters Exotic McSpitz of Bengal Exotic FX
Born:
January 10, 2003
Pretty, pretty, pretty..... and oh so cuddly. Talk about temperament from
heaven, and oh so lovely to touch.
Having a mama nicknamed "Micky-McCau" because of vocal comments
sounding more like "McCau" than any ordinary "Meow", this
daughter talks like that too. Only... McCawDai has next to no voice, so she
repeats this "McCau" sound with a scratchy raspy effort just enough
for us to here it. She's our little Bengal "A La Mewt".
McCawdai has but one litter to try left for we will be spaying her after that.
She is one of what is left of the "Daidak bloodline that has shown us
great potential.
McCawdai has but one uterine horn, and extra special care will need to be
exercised for her to have but one more litter. She is an exquisite replcation
of her mama (McSpitz) but ultimatly more-so in all ways. Pure LOVE for temperament,
and absolute beauty as far as marbled pattern. We hope one further breeding
when the time is right for her will give us what we need to carry on a strong
and vibrant example of what we are all trying to acheive in the Bengal breed.
She was closely vet monitored when she became pregnant for her one and only
litter, and is now spayed since her kittens are tended to and she was retired
right after.
We acquired a beutiful daughter to carry on the stunning face this lovely
lady posesses. (Micaw)

"Katambra"
Seal Mink Spotted Tabby - Spayed female
Sire: Bengal Exotic
FX Leavin' A Legacy
Dam: Bengal Exotic FX Essense of Gardenia
This fantastic
mink female is going to shine her stuff in our breeding program. Added to
the intense crystal glitter throughout all of her coat, is her excellent type
and wonderful head.
Further growth and development have proven this gal to be more than we expected.
She is going to contribute a lot to the breed.
Update:
Not only has Katambra proven all of the above, she is a fabulous mom and has
given us a few wonderful kitten and she has only just begun!
No matter what stud we out her with (two so far...) she has influenced great
success.
Katambra kits are ones to look out for! :-) They are ones we have been reluctant
to part with.
We have a daughter now to carry on Katambra's traits, so she retired.

"Shekinah"
Brown Spotted Tabby
Sire: CH Chaparral ZuZu of
Bengal Exotic FX
Dam: Kharaghendu Yuki of Bengal Exotic FX
Born:
August 07, 2002
Those spots you see on her sides look the same size all the way around her.
She has good body type, and great head with small ears. After seeing what
she produced with her fist litter we decided to let her have another. Her
litter was outstanding and worth checking more on her capabilities.
It sure makes her tummy inviting for little kisses, but she is way too ticklish
for that!
Shekinah is a pretty female that loves to romp and play. She absolutely adores
Tommy and will chase him if he invites her to a game of tag, and she catches
him every time! She deliberately annoys Tommy with silly antics to get his
attention when he is busy doing something else. A very fun loving cat. We
love her soft coat, wild look and head features.
Great mom, and produces well. We have appreciated the kittens Shekinah has
given us. All well and substantial.
We will look to see when Shekinaha has shown us we have who can succeed her.
BUT sometimes there is a cat who loves what they do and loves the care they
can put into raising wonderful babies....

Fidus Achates
Dam: Bengal Palace Falcon of Bengal Exotic FX
Born: February, 05, 2001
Tin-Tin licks EVERYTHING! My phone, my computer monitor
and the TV are "washed" thoroughly nearly every day. Then she tends
to our feet, legs, arms, fingers, and her favourite place to lick is on our
foreheads. Our hair will get a washing too from time to time. When she's not
busy cleaning up the household and her humans, she finds sleeping cats/kittens
to cuddle next to and while she rests from a hard day's work, she might just
as well lick them too. After all, they are a smidgen of a mess, in her eyes,
that is.
How she manages to win the hearts of everyone who visits this cattery we'll
never know for sure. Could it be when she rubs their legs before finding their
lap and then wiggling her way into their clothing, up their coat sleeves or
inside their T-shirts that does it? Everyone who meets her wants to take her
home.
See her display one of her wild characteristics as she nearly always sleeps
sitting up
and in high places like she is perched on a tree limb.

"Be Dazzled"
Brown Marbled Tabby
Sire: Species
Bengal Fidus Achates
Dam: CH Hunters Exotic McSpitz
Born: August 14, 2001
This one, as her name suggests will bedazzle you with her beauty
and loving affection. She takes the best of strength in body structure and
type from her dam and sire, adding a delicate balance of their "combo"
marbling patterns.
It didn't take us long to recognize something very different about Be Dazzled.
Bengals are notorious for bringing you a toy - for the sole purpose of enticing
you to play with them. Be Dazzled seems to be very sensitive to the emotional
state of both humans and other cats and if she notices someone down in the
dumps, or a child crying, or a kitten looking lonely, she has a special soft
spot and recognizes when it would be a good time to go find a toy and bring
it to the saddened one. She will offer up her token of comfort accompanied
by subtle nurturing gestures to soothe the spirit, to cheer up or to help
to feel better. It's the most touching behaviour we have ever seen.
A definite catitarian by nature!
Be Daz has now retired... and will soon be going home with Glenna to give
her an abundance of loving, talking and cuddling companionship.

Imax ICU
"Imax"
Retired Now ???? What do we do with this gal....???? Bloodline - pending.
Such an Angel!
Brown Marbled Tabby
Sire: Kharaghendu Daidak
Dam: Bengal Exotic FX Zaida Emi-Lee
Born: Jume 16, 2002
Imax doesn't let her being a girl get in the way of her
accomplishing anything she sets her mind to do. She, supposedly thinking she's
"mighty mouse", scurries her way up to the top of our shoulders
and perches there like we were built specifically for her.
There is nothing more precious than to look down beside your ankle and see
a little ball of fur looking back at'cha with her head slightly cocked to
one side flashing her bold and beautiful eyes like a neon sign that reads
"Gotta Love Me!!!".
Two judges at the Southern Alberta Cat Fanciers gave Imax - Best of Breed.
We were hoping all would love her combination of personality, type, quality
coat, colour, whited tummy, and of course, her eyes!
To her bad luck, Imax sustained a chronic injury to her neck (damaged nerve)
as a result of a fall the day after New Year's Day 2003 which has halted her
show career.
She doesn't seem to mind or be bothered by it and we hoped this injury would
not be permanent, but it is. She still gets all goofy when we call her "Cute
Thing".
Maxi is now retired having blown her pelvis during a difficult birthing and
is under chiropractic care for both her sacroiliac and her neck. We decided
not to take a chance on this happening again and "Cute Thing" stays
as a lovely member of our family.
Update: In all fairness to Maxi (Imax), we have decided to let her go to someone
very special. She will not be going just anywhere and I will listen for who
and where it is right for her. We have a high railing and with being a cattery
it is not the safest place for Imax to be totally free. She is a bit awkward
with her balance and we do not want to risk a serious fall.
I cannot express enough how angelic Imax is. It breaks my heart to think of
parting with her, but I know it is better for her to have a safer home. She
is eager to flood anyone with so much innocent and pure love. She is in no
way unhealthy, other than balance issues, and has so much to give.
We have found her special person who can be graced by having a cat like Imax.

"Denia" or "Deenie-Mau"
Seal Marbled Lynx Point Tabby
Sire: Species
Bengal Fidus Achates
Dam: CH Hunters Exotic McSpitz
Born: August 14, 2001
Denia looks to be cloaking her grand dam Perl de Luna Freya with her
soft copper marking and plush, crystal glittered coat. Her pattern recently
has jumped out with definition that seemed like it was forever going to come
out. Beautiful horizontal flow and chaining affects are now more apparent
than ever and she passes it on to her kids.
She's a quick thinking, spunky athlete that spends time thinking of how to
be the most unusual of cats, like passing you her cheek so you can do a squirt
with the water bottle right inside her mouth and she can go "Yum, num,
num, num, num ..." as she swallows each and every droplet, then posing
for the next squirt.
Denia has probably had her last litter, but I am checking in with her about this. The last litter gave us such high quality we re yet to decide. She does well, and all are healthy and vibrant, but the last litter surpassed any she has had prior, including richness on seal lynx blue eyes, and magnificent pattern horizontally! Quite amazing.
