Layabout Mea Spes Nova of MCFP
Nova got real potential and looks a lot like the old NF lines. She is very sweet and loving. Nova is quite small.
She is playful and gets along well with the others, she just blended in with my cats when she came here. Very confident, not timid.
As soon as she is picked up, she doesn’t stop purring.

Bratty Catty of MCFP

She has a less gentle demeanor than her sister.

Nova and Bratty Catty is from a remote farm in Rome, Ohio with the nearest larger city being Cleveland, OH
They are a bit small but that is to be expected because they were pulled from her mom too early, which is an obvious negative.
I know that the mother was busy around the farm and was even leaving to go hunting when I was there, so maybe it was assumed she wasn’t taking much care of them anymore.
Either way, they were caged separately from her in order to keep track of them, so if we didn’t get them, it would not have changed something.

A farm in northern Ohio needed assistance with its cat population. Though the farmers were more involved with their goats, sheep, and rabbits, they hadn’t closely monitored their cats and kittens until too many were hanging about. They decided to look for help in dispersing the colony. The mother of a litter of kittens was to be spayed and kept. She was truly a coon cat, with strong mackerel markings and white, a long and rectangular body, and an impressive tail of both fullness and length. The mother was not really interested in getting too close, but thankfully a picture or two were taken before her embarkment on a mousing extravaganza for nourishment. Her kittens would need to find homes. Two mackerel girls (one patch) were dubbed the “tabby twins,” and noted as energetic and full of fluff.

They were brought back to MCFP for observation and testing. These females are now two F1 foundation cats of MCFP. The brown patch mackerel tabby, Layabout Mea Spes Nova of MCFP, resides with Malin Sundqvist (owner of the cattery Dagrivarn); the brown mackerel tabby female, Bratty Catty of MCFP, resides with Olivia Speicher (founder of MCFP and owner of the cattery Kitty in the City).
