Omega was an incredible addition to our Bengal breeding program - and we are extremely grateful to Gene Ducote of Gogees Bengals for letting us have him. Omega's sire is Gogees Casanova, and his dam is Gogees Satinique. He does not carry the melanistic gene, nor does he carry for snow. He's been voted as one of the 10 favorite Bengals in 2006!!

"The Major" sired many litters of both Bengals and Savannahs for us. Many thanks to Phil Mireles of Spothaven Bengals for letting us have this spectacular boy. 'Major' Mews' sire is RW QGC Dicaprio of Starbengal, and his dam, Starbengal Trinity, is a full sister to our own Vida Mia. Major is homozygous for spotted. Not only is he covered with huge rosettes from nose to tail, but he has a large bone structure, elegant profile, small ears, outstanding tail, and he is such a sweet, loving boy!! Photo © Jim Brown

Son of SGC Americatz Ocelli Cloud of Starbengal (one of the top silver Bengals in the world) and Jumanji Saika, Monsoon was an exciting addition to our breeding program.

Ewan's coat is like spun gold, with beautiful, open rosettes all over and a full whited tummy, yet without sacrificing any size, muscle or type. He is an absolute angel!! Photo © Jim Brown

Malamute is another incredible Bengal bred by Phil Mireles. Malamute's parents are Stageone Skywalker of Spothaven and Silvergene Satine (now of Bellbooknbengal). Our first silver Bengal, he produced some outstanding kittens for us including Foothill Felines Picasso of Fire'n'Ice who is the adorable brown marble Bengal kitten on the Eukanuba kitten food bags!! Malamute has great bone and muscle structure; a wonderful face and head; terrific pelt; nice pattern and rosettes, plus a thick plush tail. He is a talkative love-bug who adores belly rubs!!

Our own son of SGC Heritage Kimo and Gogees Marshamelo of Foothill Felines. Marshamelo is the only seal lynxpoint snow Bengal queen ever to have been bred to Kimo; Kimo is wellknown as the first Supreme Grand Champion Bengal in California. Metallica's offspring continue to flourish in Bengal breeding programs all over the world.

Our panther-like, neutered pet, 1/2 Abyssinian, 1/2 Bengal "Mr. Mom" is our resident babysitter, peace-maker, founder/teacher of the "Prey Game" and my very best friend!! Never used for breeding, he nonetheless is the single cat to have got me started with my dream that became Foothill Felines.
