Rider is the only son of Oceana (Totallycoastal Ocean Waves), and was sired by Ollie (Salvarda Mystery Caller). Oceana was of course the daughter of the fantastic Nebraska and Big Mac. So this boy was almost a full consolidation of my foundation cats (with one exception, Quintus).
This boy is fast filling out and growing upwards. He was a pretty small kitten in early life, but he is making up for lost time. These past 4 weeks he has shot up, and is the same size as an average adult girl. So it seems that Rider may be a good sized male after all. This lad is now 6.5 months old, so I expect at least one more growth spurt from him, before his energy is expelled in muscle build only.
At first glance you may think his tail is full length, but he does has a naturally shortened tail (NST) with a kink at its tip. In fact it's a complete replica of Declans, who we kept as a stud boy here. Paired to other NST tails this has given us some super tail lengths in his offspring. We expect that as Rider's brow develops, he will become more of the rounded edge triangular conformation we'd expect as he matures. As you can see he has a simply amazing coat pattern, colour and the texture is spot on. Another of his great traits are those whisker pads, gorgeously plump and wide.. making a nice muzzle shape overall. This boy does sport small ear tips as well.
He is a very loving, but extremely energetic cat. He is so inquisitive and he never tires of fetch, or chase games. He is staying here as part of Our Breeding Program as we expect those eyes to become perfect over the next 6 months.
