I am ecstatic to announce a new Egyptian Mau baby Grand Premier, and as a result, a very special Egyptian Mau DM.

On Sunday, January 23rd, 2011, GP Mimesis Gemini Moon of Bacamamdit achieved the title of grand premier at the Stars City Cat Fanciers’ show in Roanoke, VA. Gemmi went from being an open in premiership the previous weekend to a Grand at the end of the following. I could not have asked this boy to grand any faster than he did! Gemmi's co-owner and I have had a great time showing this special, silly, and sweet boy. I was not even present for the pivotal ring; I had been called away home (4 hours away. . .) the day before to tend to Espresso's delivery (3 silvers; 2 boys, 1 girl for those interested) and a team of amazingly compassionate CFA exhibitors from region 7 assisted in Gemmi's successful race to the finish-line. I don't think I can begin to count the number of grateful tears shed! All I can say is that I am proud to be a part of such a warm and welcoming hobby
I could not have done this without so many helping hands.

With Gemmi’s granding came another wonderful Egyptian Mau accomplishment; our foundation female, Selene, has achieved the most coveted award for a breeding program, the title of Distinguished Merit. I am so proud to announce CH Emau’s Serene Selene Selene of Mimesis, DM. Selene is our treasured gift from Emau cattery, and her qualifying offspring are;

Sired by GC Ajatarah Niles
GP Mimesis To the Nile “Juju” Silver Neuter
GC Mimesis Poker Face “PB” Silver Male

Sired by GC, NW Emau’s Dancin inthe Dark of Mautrix
GC Mimesis Dance the Calypso Espresso “Espresso” Smoke Female
GC Mimesis Dance the Tango “Pancake” Silver Female

Sired by GC, BW, NW Emau’s Shoot the Moon
GP Mimesis Gemini Moon of Bacamamdit “Gemmi” Silver Neuter

Selene is not my cat—she is my sister’s. Selene grants me the privilege of sharing her kittens with the world, but she chose Sharlene from day one. That she has been such a prize of a foundation has been a true blessing. We couldn’t have asked for more. . . Selene has her kittens in Sharlene’s room where Sharlene serves as both midwife and nanny to Selene and her brood. Our Mau Matriarch is a complicated girl, and she makes no concessions when it comes to her kittens. She’s shown us why, and we’re both so proud of Selene’s great accomplishment and her contribution to the Egyptian Mau breed!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! A DM is way up there, by far one of the greater achievements of a cattery.


I know exactly how you're feeling, I cried when my DM cert arrived!!!

It proves that you're on the right track with your breeding and honestly, that you know what you aspire to your chosen breed.

I really, really am very happy for you!

Just look at that pretty girl!

I'm continuing the theme of dance related cats in my cattery, and have almost decided to name my newest female kitten Azshara Sarabande - pet name Sara.

Sarabande is a lovely name


Thanks everybody for all warm wishes and congratulations--now I suppose the next long-term goal will be a home-bred DM!

Well done!

They are all beautiful (although I would say Espresso is my personal favorite). Again, congratulations!

And offer nobody can refuse
! Handsome Jack Oci Boy should be a Grand!

I can always give it an old college try, but you'll have to coach me on proper Oci grooming and presentation
You should get Jack to the next Ocicats International show!
