PrairieBaby Maine Coon Cats
TCH PrairieBaby Ambassador of Grace(Brock)
I have cherished and worked with cats that are high Tati-Tan for many years for their longevity, wonderful gums and teeth, vigor and intelligence. Brock's daddy is GCH Tati Tan's Silhouette of PrairieBaby, one of the last Tati-Tan cats in this whole wide world. Old Silhouette is the grandfather and great grandfather of several of my breeding cats. I feel extremely blessed to continue with Sonja Stanislow's lines. My old Franmar girl Punkin Pye was my first cat with a high Tati Tan content.
Brock's mother is lovely Eternity , a 4th generation female we imported from Michigan in 1999. I had no idea at the time that Eternity would be the beginning of a passionate work with new Maine Coon foundation lines.
Silhouette and Eternity, two really great Maine Coons, combined a famous old, traditional bloodline with a valuable new bloodline. Brock is 5th generation of registered Maine Coon cats (F5) and has around 30 % newer Maine/Michigan foundation.

I believe that Brock is the safest cat in our Cattery in regards to possible heart or kidney problems. Brock's father Silhouette was HCM/PKD negative at age 8 and is now 13 years old and well. His mother Eternity has been tested for HCM 3 times up to age 6 with no heart changes and was PKD negative at age 2.5. Eternity is now 8 years old and well. Brock was clear of HCM for the second time at age 3.8.
Profile at age 3 and 5 years
Even though he hadn't been used very much, Brock was our main breeding male from 2002 until 2005. We love his beautiful head, his lovely coat, his strong and broad muzzle and fine chin and profile. When bred to the right females, Brock produced good size ears. He can also produce better Silver than he has. Brock is a very muscular and heavy boned male. His weight at age 4 is over 20 pounds. Brock's character is extremely layed back and social with other cats. Nothing seems to upset this big bear. Newcomers in the Cattery simply get ignored :). These two traits were inherited from both his parents. Brock is also very affectionate with me, but not cuddly with strangers. He has never sprayed or peed on anything in his whole life, just like his father Silhouette never has when he was still whole. Brock has passed this pleasant trait on to his sons.

TCH Prairiebaby Infinite Grace
ca. 40 % newer foundation lines
Sadly, we kept Gracelett unbred too long
for the sake of showing her
Gracelett cannot have babies for us anymore :-(
Brock sired 7 healthy litters (total of 36 kittens) for us in 4 years (6 and 3 kittens with Luisa, 5 kittens with Grace, 7 kittens with Clarabel, 5 kittens with Haley, 6 and 4 kittens with Jelly Roll). No female has ever lost a kitten from Brock! A total of 11 of the 36 kittens have been sold into a breeding program over the past 4 years. I am presently using one granddaughter, one daughter and one son out of Brock in my own program. Brock has always been a a happy boy who never suffered in any way from being a breeding male. Just all around a great cat to have around! As of June 2005 Brock has been neutered.
