Brownie de la Chacolaterie

Brownie (pedigree) was born on the eave of Easter 2006, from the mating of Ti-mate with Uly Sweet des Fauve et Or.
He was part of a litter of 4 ruddy males, nicknamed "the Beatles", my only litter in 2006.

There he is, 7 months old :

Brownie has such a sweet temperament and his eyes know how to speak to me...

Here are some pictures taken during the international cat show in Port-Marly on December 10, 2006 :

Here is now Brownie, 9 months old, during the Baltard international cat show in January 2007

Brownie was with me at the "Salon du Chat" in Tours, Loire Valley, on February 3-4 2007.
Here are a few pictures of him shot by Christophe Hermeline in his studio :

Brownie is free from PK-def, as are all my non-neutered cats.
However, he is a carrier for PRA I (progressive retinal atrophy), for which he inherited the mutated allele from his mother.
This does not bear consequence on his health, since PRA I is autosomal recessive.
But he will only be mated to PRA-free girls in order not to bring to life kittens who will eventually develop PRA.
His blood group is A.

Brownie has become a dad in 2008, but he is still as charmingly kitten-cute... and soooo affectionate !
His first babies are with Alaska and Une Pomponnette.
Go and have a look at their pictures on the 2008 litter page.

He is really in love with Alaska, and they had babies again in 2009 : Etincelle, Ellipse ("Pimousse"), ENS and Elfie.

At 3.5 years old, he is very elegant and remains so expressive... well rendered by these pictures from Jean-Michel Labat :

On December 17, 2009, the first snow covered the garden with a crispy white coat.
Brownie wanted to leave his pawprints in the snow while playing being a fox :

Brownie and Alaska had a cute ruddy girl in June 2010 : Furette.
And Brownie is also dad of three nice ruddy kittens in 2009 with Claim of Chacureuilp
(shhh... don't tell Alaska...), and again in 2010 !

But he looks always so young :

Christmas 2010... Brownie plays the starring role in the snow again this year !

2011 : Brownie, now Gr. European Champion (the highest LOOF championship title), has 3 new babies with Edelweiss (pictures here)
He is already dreaming of his next conquest (left), but in the meantime (right) he likes the babies' tiny croquettes.
