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.

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).

Right on... I took a quick look at the Pawped pedigrees you provided. Selected two names: MtKittery Penobscot and Charmalot King Arthur Pendragon. They are in the pedigrees of your cats, and in all three of mine...
