Bob and I have been looking for over two years for our next stud. It was time for
an outcross and we needed to find the right one that would fit into the Marikoon’s
family. I had contacted many breeders and either they didn’t have any available or
they didn’t have quite what we were looking for. One day while home sick from work
I went online determined to find our next male and I think I looked at around 60
catteries! Finally I came across a cattery called Paleeni and as soon as I saw “Larry’s”
picture I fell in love and knew we had to have him!!! High White was something we
both didn’t want (never say never), but it was his face I fell in love with. I called
Coleen and spoke with her over the phone and was thrilled to find out he was available
and was able to come live with us!!! We spoke a great length and she sent us many
pictures and she also had a black and white male available, another color I had no
interest in, but she felt he was special and should consider him.
Finally in early December when Riff Raff and I went to PA for a show we met Coleen
and her husband Paul at the show with the two boys (never met Coleen or her husband
before but spotted Larry right away). Larry and Otis both came home with us for us
to decide who we would keep. I knew I wanted Larry, but before long Otis was turning
out really nice and he was fitting right in and so we decided to keep the both of
them!
Larry has one of the best personalities of any cat I have ever met. Very easy going
and agreeable to most anything. Full of purrs from the minute you talk to him or
pick him up. Love his large ears and his boning and a nice solid feeling guy. We
are so thrilled to have him as part of our family and a great addition to our breeding
program!
Thank you SO much Coleen and Paul for allowing Larry to become part of our Marikoons
family.
