Pedigree of Taj Mahal of Etché

Talk about LEOPARD ROSETING! Tajma has a way to go before she becomes queen but she has "keeper" written all over her since she has so eloquently inherited the best selection of traits from her handsome golden father, her stunning Champion mother and then some! We can hardly wait to see how this girl will look when she's completely out of her "fuzzy" stage. We not only have high hopes for Tajma in the show ring as a kitten but look forward to when she's old enough to try her paw at championship with the adults and will be proud to pass on her champion  bloodlines to future Etché kittens with our charming and handsome Texas stud, Nairobi's Sirocco who is already her wrestling buddy and only 10 days older than her.

BREEDER Gene Ducote

NOVA'S CLAIM TO FAME: Nova is full Sister to Gogees Supreme Grand Champion Warpaint and Gogees Quadruple Grand Champion  King Armani of Zepyhros. Nova earned her own fame when won 8 ribbons in her very first United Feline Organization  show and topped it off by winning Best of the Best Kitten!  The judges said she has excellent conformation, gorgeous rosetting, a nice thick tail, a strong profile and is unusually well glittered for a female. Nova's first TICA show as an adult was on October 26th & 27th 2002.
Nova is now titled Champion and  also received a ribbon for 5th best Allbreed Cat. She saw some very nice bengals while she was there and is coming to accept the fact that there are other spotted cats in the world besides her,  seeing some of the handsome fellas out there made it all worthwhile.  We were delighted that she did so well even competing with the big boys! We are very proud of her and once again thank Gene Ducote of Gogees for doing
such a good job! We are very proudof Nova's contributions to our breeding program. 

Nova bears a strong physical resemblance to her Asian Leopard Cat ancestors first with her strong triangular chin, puffy whisker pads, outlined nocturnal eyes, excellent conformation, tight knit pelt, powerful long lean build and striking Roman profile. On the HEAD of all the pages,  you can see Nova on her evening walk (developing that sturdy musculature) and we may be partial but we believe she is growing up to be a gorgeous young lady. The photo on the LEFT, is one my friend Merrie took  while she was visiting us, I love how she was able to capture Nova's "regalness!" Next time, we'll try a little Windex on the china cabinet and get Nova sitting in the direction that shows her better side.  The RIGHT photo was from the breeder (Gene Ducote at Gogees) when Nova was still in Louisiana in her "fuzzy" stage. When we saw this little girl's face and that eyeliner and of course that spotted tummy , we knew she was exactly the special kitten we'd been looking for !  She was our first Bengal and from her, we have learned how unique these cats can be. She loves to fetch and she is by far, the most intelligent, athletic and active cat we have known and keeps us well entertained with her  midair ballet-like leaps and twists in that even Mikhail Barishnikov would have to admire!
