maine coon cat scrappy
Koonskau Houston Astro (a.k.a Scrappy) was our third Maine Coon and our second breeding female.
Scrappy is probably John's favourite out of the three females due to her incredibly friendly nature. She is not scared of anything and will happily chase the hoover around the floor. She loves the hairdryer and always insists on a blow dry - even if she is not wet.
Scrappy always shows her very long tail to good effect. Basher and Scrappy spent hours out in the snow hunting and "killing" each other. Luckily for us each time they got hunted and killed they managed to get up, run away and start all over again.
Scrappy adores having kittens to play with and has been an excellent mother to our new breeding girls Kititas Blondie and Kititas Angelique. She has taught them excellent manors and how to hunt leaves is one of their specialities!
We named her Scrappy on account of how scrappy she was when we first got her. She looked like a little punk and seemed to have too much spiky fur for her body.
In 2007 for her first litter Scrappy was mated at Budletts with Prince, a TICA Quadruple Grand Champion. Her first litter of kittens were born on 30th September 2007
After a traumatic start to 2008 Scrappy gave birth to a singleton Blue & White Boy on 13th May. Aka Sumo. He now lives with Liz Allen and will be her Stud boy for her girls. Check out the gallery page for a more recent picture.
December 29th 2008 saw Scrappy have her third litter of 5 kittens. She will now have a long awaited rest with hopes for her fourth and final litter sometime in 2010 all being well!
