Update - Celia x Ollie, are an item!

This girl is very overdue in having a photoshoot, Celia (Handale Seashell Collection) is one of those cats that is hard to take photos of... she is either too close or too quick.   To get her attention I have to make sudden noises or waggle a toy frantically.  This of course give us wide eye shots, but it's better than no shots... I just wish I could get a more relaxed facial expression and I'll continue to work on that.

Handale Seashell Collection is a collaboration of Ansonroad and Salvarda lines.  Her Dam is the very large, very rufus, longhaired, wild looking Alessi.   Her Sire is the Champion and #2 Regioniol Best Pixiebob of 2009-2010, Edward Red Esq.  From this pairing we got 5 lovely kittens, so lovely we kept 3 for our program (Van, Celia and Sandy).  Sandy was the quad poly, Celia and Van (and the remaining 2 littermates) the straight footed kittens.  Both Van and his sister Celia had really strong faces, and overall type. 

Celia's best assets are her profile, round face, great forehead, gorgeous puffy whisker pads, lynx tips, vivid gooseberry green eyes and long leg length are perfect to standard.  Wide heads in females are often hard to get, and this girl has a perfect shape.  She has good pattern, colour and texture to her coat.  It is of shaggy short length which adds a bit of edge to create a ruggedness.  In addition to that nice type, her fun loving and sassy spirit, and prized rufus tones from her mum are the icing on the cake. 

A fun loving girl, thats always looking for attention or a toy to play with.  She is very alert, smart and a bit of a livewire.  Celia stayed here at Totallycoastal because of her very nice profile mainly.  Her tail is short of foot, which is too long for her to aspire to a show cat, but her overall type is definately of breeding quaility.
We have already mated Celia to Ollie, and she is expecting her first litter in March.  We will be keeping 1 kitten from this mating.
