Thread: Related MC's

Is there any threads on here naming the mums and dads of our MC's, just wondering if we had any related kittys

My kitties just found relatives on this forum after I posted picture of their great grandmother from England. It was so exciting for me!

My cats father is Sebastian from Main Villa cattery in Ohio. Sebastian has recently retired from shows and breeding:



Their mother is Phoebe from Willabelle Cattery in Ohio:

May be I will be lucky and find more than one relative?

PS. I studied my cats pedigree more than my own...

Well, you've already found three! In that chart I see some ancestors he has in common with all three of our Coonies. Their most recent common ancestor seems to be Hillside Mr Spock of Willowplace.

My cat are elated! They want to have a family reunion with lots of food and games.
It is hard to believe that wild Mr.Spok is an ancestor of your (and ours) sweet kitties.
I am in a hunting mood now and going to scan copy of father and mother's pedigree to look for more relatives.

This is the photo of sister's first birthday celebration this year:

Apologies, not sure which cat is which but the one on the left is a lovely colour - is she a black smoke, or am I just a bit obsessed? And the photo angle of the one on the right made me smile - she looks like she's balancing the blue glass on her head! Very nice photo.

If the matings right lol... you may see some pictures of smokes at our place everything crossed... we would like a nice smoke Girls please... this is not a request Mr Li this is an order... lol

Candes, how mean of you to take Teddy's pic when he's having a bad fur day... and posting it.
Anyways, when I have the time I'll look him up in Pawpeds and see if I can find the Most Recent Common Ancestor to one of my three. Should be interesting.

Well, you'd better stock up on food big time then, and hire a stadium for the games. Because I think all of the Coonies on here are related. Look at wild Mr Spock's pedigree and you'll see he is descended from Bridget & Andy Katt of Heidi Ho (whom I believe were brother & sister or father & daughter - the mind boggles). As far as I know, this pair are in the pedigree of each and every MC on the planet.

Antonia is right; virtually all present day MCs share a substantial part of their lineage if you go back far enough. Three of our cats are very closely related to one another (within the last three generations). The fourth is a bit more distantly related.

Here is our girl Bella's pedigree on Pawpeds:
Chemicoons Bellagio

The above link expands back four generations, but if you select to expand back 10 generations people will probably find lots of overlaps with their cats since this gets back to the clones and even foundation cats along some lines. Because Bella's maternal grandfather, Calicoon Sherman, was bred for quite a while (I believe), she has clones only five generations back, and a foundation cat only seven generations back.

If you look at her foundation ancestors, you see she is 43% Andy and Bridget Katt and 73% Top Five:
Chemicoons Bellagio

Our other girl, Allie, is also in Pawpeds:
Coonbitzky Aldehyde of Chemicoons

While Sherman was one of Bella's grandfathers, he was one of Allie's great grandfathers.

Our youngest boy Zephyr's father is a brother to Allie (though not from same litter).
