Meet our newest whirlwind of joy: TTCats Queso of HughJazzcat! 🧀✨

A massive thank you to my mentor, Terri Toulze of , for entrusting me with this extraordinary boy. Queso is the sweetest little dude, with Big Kitten Energy-he’s been pure sunshine since the moment he arrived. From day one, he acted as if he’s always been part of the family, immediately jumping into games with Obie, Arie, and Pepe. His playful spirit and happy energy have brought a refreshing spark to our cattery.

We’re over the moon to welcome Queso as our new future sire. He’s a stunning red silver classic tabby-a rare and striking color that makes him truly stand out. If you’d like to meet Queso in person, come say hello at the .world show in Farmington, Utah, this Memorial Day weekend. We can’t wait to share his charm with everyone!

Thank you again, Terri, for your trust and guidance. The amount of heart and energy you pour into everything you do is not lost on me. HughJazzcat is so lucky to have Queso in our lives!

Some exciting health-related news for cats and their families!

As someone who monitors human productivity (or lack thereof) from sunbeams and cardboard boxes, I’m pleasantly surprised by this development: veterinary researchers have achieved a breakthrough in treating hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a heart disease affecting up to 15% of cats. After years...

Happy to announce that Arie and Pepe have cleared all genetic tests and health screenings!

HCM = N/N
ECG screening = All Normal
PKD = N/N
PKDef = N/N
SMA = N/N
HD screening = All Normal

Thankful for the guidance we’ve received thus far. Excited to learn more and move forward in our journey as a new cattery helping to ethically sustain the breed by producing Happy and Healthy Maine C**ns that meet the breed standard.

Edited original post to add the PKD result, which I forgot to include.

Guess it was naive to think balling them up into crazy curtain cocoons would keep them safe. All recommendations for cat proof window coverings will be considered and appreciated!

Our barn manager, Blue, who adopted us in 2018. She’s loved very much but we’ll never be able to convince her that inside the house is better than outside. We track her using a tracking collar.

“Coffee and Herringbone”

Pepe took his first walk on a leash to the backyard and joined me for some coffee.

Obie loves when his friends at the give him cuddles and tell him he’s such a good boy. Well, this cuddly good boy snuck into the snack cabinet and nearly ate a whole box of treats.

Not pictured: Obie’s alarming amount of 🤮that prompted the visit with his friends.

Yes pictured: He happens to be the same number of kgs now at 13 months old as the number of lbs he was when he came to live with us at 5 months old.

Pepe’s favorite part of the field trip to the refrigerator was the carrot aquarium.
