We believe being a cat guardian is an important commitment for the lifetime of the pet. We want all kittens and cats to find their Forever Families.
Some environments are simply not a good match for Maine Coons and it is easier to avoid potential behavior and health issues than to end up in a situation that is bad for either the owner or the cat. Additionally, we are extremely interested in the fortunes of the animals we send out to new homes and enjoy continued contact with owners. Monitoring the health of our cats over their lifetime helps us to produce stronger and healthier Maine Coons for future generations.
We show our cats mainly in the ACFA, but have we also have shown in CFA and a few times in TICA. Personally, each registry has their own breed standards and their judges look and interpret these standards differently. Some of our cats are big winners, some are not.
Showing your cats does not equal quality cats, but it does indicate a strong willingness on a breeder's part to have her cats 'judged' by her peers. It also helps to keep breeders stay in the loop on changes or drifting from the standards. It gives live interaction with those who do what you do.

Man is, however, negligent of this reality and imagines that sensibility is peculiar to mankind, therefore he practices cruelty to the animal. In reality what difference is there in physical sensations! Sensibility is the same whether you harm man or animal: there is no difference.
Nay, rather, cruelty to the animal is more painful because man has a tongue, and he sighs, complains and groans when he receives an injury and complains to the government and the government protects him from cruelty; but the poor animal cannot speak, it can neither show its suffering nor is it able to appeal to the government. If it is harmed a thousand times by man it is not able to defend itself in words nor can it seek justice or retaliate. The
Therefore, one must be very considerate towards animals and show greater kindness to them than to man.
Educate the children in their infancy in such a way that they may become exceedingly kind and merciful to the animals. If an animal is sick they should endeavor to cure it; if it is hungry, they should feed it; if it is thirsty, they should satisfy its thirst; if it is tired, they should give it rest. Man is generally sinful and the animal is innocent; unquestionably one must be more kind and merciful to the innocent. [...] This sympathy and kindness is one of the fundamental principles of the divine kingdom. Ye should pay great attention to this question.
