GEE
(TWO TOES)
Gee was actually our first born
Keverstone kitten. We had rescued his longhaired non-pedigree mother
two weeks previously and he and his sister, Misty Megan, was born
in our airing
cupboard. We still have his mum and
sister
He was named Two Toes because he was a black cat with two white
toes.
He is pictured here with Steve's Daughter, Lisa.

Hunkdory
Bealltainn
Hunkdory, (Hunky), arrived at the Keverstone household in 1989, joining
our first Maine Coon, Bealltainn Breeze. Hunky was shown successfully
at Preliminary Status and gained 13 Merit Certificates, at consecutive
shows.
His offspring
included Ch. Keverstone Czonkabill and Gr. Ch. Keverstone Liddel Richard.
Several of his grandchildren have also been shown, including Gr. Pr. Keverstone
Starlite, Ch. Keverstone Estella Sirone and Pr. Keverstone Starshineblue.
This photo
was taken when he was aged 10 months. Hunky was well known for his deep
orange eye colour

BOWIE
Bowie was a very special cat. Born with congenital cataracts to
a wild feral mother, he came to us when he was just a few weeks
old because the chances of him finding a good home with this
disability was very unlikely .Our vet told us that his outlook was
poor and doubted that he would cope well. He lived a long and very
happy life with us for over 14 years and surprisingly, he was "The
Boss Cat"

BELUJONDRA IMOGEN
Imogen, a brown
tabby, was one of our first breeding queens.
Imogen was one of our first show cats. She was shown back in the
very early 1990s when the breed still had Preliminary Status. During
her show career, she gained several Merits and competed well against
other breeds. She was the Maine Coon Cat Club's Best Female Adult
1990-91.

LAWMAINE
CALLY SUE
Cally was a tortie-tabby & white and had too much white to be
shown
under GCCF Rules. However,
although she was never shown, a
number of her kittens have been very successful on the show bench
over the years. These include
Gr Ch Keverstone Big Al,
Gr Pr Keverstone Klara, Pr Keverstone
Tasha Koonski & Gr Ch
Keverstone Liddel Richard.
She was a very gentle cat, and is greatly missed.

WEEP
NOT FOR ME
By Constance Jenkins
Weep not for me though I am gone
Into that gentle night.
Grieve if you will, but not for long,
Upon my soul's sweet flight.
I am at peace, my soul's at rest,
There is no need for tears;
For with your love I was so blessed
For all those many years.
There is no pain, I suffer not;
The fear now all is gone.
Put now these things out of your thoughts,
In your memory I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath,
Remember not the strife.
Please do not dwell upon my death,
But celebrate my life.
