Update Sepember 16, 2026: We changed the call name back to Faolan II just because it suits him better after all and he looks so much like his daddy!. :-)

 

While the breeder world seems to be going ballistic over Maine Coons with a very high Silver content, I try not to prioritize colour over conformation. I remember getting these "fancy class" Maine Coons here already decades ago but but then the colour got lost through selective breeding. Faolan II is the first of his kind born in my Cattery worth keeping - probably since a cat named "Prairiepaws'n Songs For Grace", a girl born in 2005.

​

Faolan II comes from a healthy group of 3 brothers, born to  "Caracal", sired by "Faolan". It is Irish for wolf and a majestic name for a majestic Maine Coon.  Faolan's pedigree contains lines from my old Cattery by about 50 %, combined with some wonderful cats that were added by Allegiancelove Cattery in Bulgaria. 

​

Being a staunch Brown Tabby lover, I have now come to appreciate the eye candy factor of Faolan's appearance. Just watching him run and jump kind of does take my breath away! His strengths are body shape, a flowing sterling silver coat, combined with a correct head, great size and boning, a correct ear set and abnoctiously affectionate tempermant. I am also a fan of his lovely eyes that are sometimes hard to get with the feral look. His adult profile can use improvement but some my girls can fix that. He is already weighing in at 19 pounds at only 13 months of age! 

 

Faolan has proven himself with 8 beautiful babies out of Fang! I can't get anough of their temperament, combined with an equally mesmorizing colour! Sadly we don't have a lot of girls for my boy at this time, meaning he might not on duty here for long.  Flamengo seems to be pregnant for a winter litter. We will either retire him in my home with Mahogany or he will be moving to a colleague of mine afterwards.
