Magnacatta Kaalu

Kaalu was born December 26, 2005. She is a female chocolate torbie colourpoint British Shorthair. She comes running when she hears my voice or sees me and she mews softly until I pick her up. Sometimes she falls asleep in my arms, which I love. She is playful and affectionate. Her colouring is rare and unusual for Brits in North America.

If you want to know where her name comes from, check out the most excellent film "Water" by Deepa Mehta.

Magnacatta Pinkerton - Simply Perfect


Pinkerton is a Red Silver Tabby Colourpoint British Shorthair male. This is a very rare colour and I am not aware of any other Brit breeders in North America who have this colour. Look for Pinkerton's photo in an advertisement in the March 2006 issue of Cat Fancy which will feature British Shorthair cats on the cover of that issue.

We currently have kittens born December 26, 2005 who have the same parents as Pinkerton - the dam is Animagus Lady Eowyn of Magnacatta and the sire is Casadeva Cheekie Chappie. Photos of the individual kittens will be posted shortly. The males will be red silver tabby colourpoints and the females will be blue torbie colourpoint or lilac cream colorpoint.

Here is a new photo of Magnacatta Monsignor Bradford that was taken at the cat show in Raleigh, North Carolina over New Years. He is 6 months old in the picture and weighs about 9 pounds.

This was the most competitive show to date for Bradford but he still got 6 finals and enough points to make him the top British Shorthair kitten for the NW region for the year (so far).
