if I were to do MCO, I'd love to have this guy in my breeding...................

Ice Dive - you're talking about my Diorela's father! Of course he's a stunning MC, and that's why I obtained my girl from that breeder.

Did you know Ice Dive was the 3rd Best of Breed internationally (CFA) in 2005-2006? You can't find too many non-American MC catteries at that level. (Some guys are still so naive to believe that purebred MCs come from the States only. Gosh....)

He's indeed a nearly perfect silver w/w stud (the only flaw perhaps is that he has a bit tarnish on his cheeks, as said by the breeder). BTW, his father happens to be the grandfather of the silver w/w boy which I showed you a couple of days ago.

Almost all the NFCs you've shown me have very full ruff. Is this one distinctive feature of the breed? Or is this the winter coat only?

Some American MC catteries also have bloodlines which have beautiful full ruff, but not many. The other day, I discussed this with Jimmy Lee. He said this is a luxury which we can't afford to have, given the hot (and humid!) weather in Asia. So sad!

if you want to shake the world, you need something like Ice Dive...................

Ice Dive's another son from the same litter of Diorela - Ryusei.

Ryusei has recently earned the title'FIFE International Champion'.

FIFe Internatioanl Champion is almost kinda like the beginning...............

Champion, Internaional Champion, Grand International Champion, European Champion.................

Also the prestigous once-a-year FIFe World Show.............and BIS of each catergory earns the title of WW (World Winner) - mind you, I'm talking about some 1500+ cats in the show of which something like 250 MCOs plus another 250 NFCs................and I'm planning to visit a FIFe World Show sometime this year...................

And, if a cat makes 10 BIS within a period of 2 years this cat earns the title of FIFe DSM (Distinguished Show Merit).............another very precious title................

The parents of the girls I'm gonna take in the next two months are all this kind of title winners..........

compared to my NFC............Pepe, Antonio's father................

Hey, I find that Antonio bears a striking resemblance to Pepe while Angel looks a lot like Heavenly. In your experience, do boys look more like their sire while girls resemble their dam?

IC. Well, I do know that Ryusei won the BIS in the previous shows.......
Their owner has video-taped his glory and below is a video clip of one of the shows he took part in:

A FIFE show looks pretty different from a CFA one. Quite interesting!

And of course I believe your new bloodlines will surely bring you loads of glorious moments too!

Thanks for the link! It's interesting to see that the type of MCs in FIFE looks more feral than the widely recognized type in CFA.........Plus, each of the winning cats has its own trophy!
