2011-10-21T19:19:00.000-07:00

Braveheart was the Best Cat in show at the Edmonton Cat Fanciers show on October 1 and 2, 2011. He is so handsome and friendly and cuddly, such a sweetheart.

Cat and mouse

2011-09-11T11:36:00.000-07:00

Chubster is such a showboater, he runs around the mouse enclosure showing off for the cats, puts his paws and face right up to the cat's face to sniff him and check him out.

Baby kittens - perfection!

Excalibur Bernice of Magnacatta

2011-02-15T13:07:00.001-08:00

Excalibur Bernice is a solid blue British Shorthair. She is a soft-spoken, gentle cat with amazing fur and brilliant copper eyes. She is the mother of Braveheart's first litter of kittens. There are six kittens; 3 males and 3 females, born January 15, 2011.

Magnacatta Fabulousness

2011-01-05T21:14:00.000-08:00

A true diva - so particular about herself and her environment. Fabulous likes to sleep on the bed with us and supervises all reading and paperwork projects. She is 4 months old and loves to play. She has excellent conformation, she is a wonderful example of the British Shorthair breed. She likes to be rubbed and purrs loudly when I stroke her fur - but it has to be on her terms!

Ch Hi Crown Fedora of Magnacatta

2011-01-05T21:06:00.001-08:00

Fedorable is our most beautiful girl with brilliant eye colour and pale blue fur. She has the looks and the personality, very social and affectionate. Fedorable comes from excellent parents, Stonehaven Wolfie Mozart of Hi Crown and Stonehaven Blue Prelude of Hi Crown. She will have kittens in the spring of 2011, the planned mating is with Casadeva Cheekie Chappie, a lilac colourpoint, with solid blue and solid lilac kittens possible.

K. Eddie

2011-01-05T21:00:00.000-08:00

A 3 year old, blue colourpoint British Shorthair male. He is not just handsome, but so distinguished. He crosses his paws when he sits (just like his father) and his beautiful eyes draw you in. See his photo at 3 weeks below!

Yes, it is me, Braveheart!

Britz Braveheart of Magnacatta

2010-12-06T14:54:00.000-08:00

Here is Britz Braveheart - he is still a kitten in this photo taken at the Richmond, BC show in November, 2010. Braveheart will be the sire for our British Shorthair kittens in the spring.

2010-07-21T09:57:00.000-07:00

The amazing Braveheart - 4 months old in this photo and the absolute best British Shorthair kitten on earth. He is so friendly and affectionate, he's smart and gets along with all other cats. He came all the way from Australia and we can't believe how lucky we are to have him in our family.

2010-07-21T09:54:00.000-07:00

Braveheart and Juno. Braveheart will be the daddy of our British Shorthair kittens next year and Juno will be the mommy of our Selkirk Rex kittens next summer.

2009-08-27T11:53:00.000-07:00

Belvedere has been renamed - BelvaMYdear - by his biggest fan, Jaymee. He is a solid blue Selkirk Rex and such a sweetie.

Best of the Best - Magnacatta Apollo

2009-08-27T11:49:00.000-07:00

Apollo was the Best of the Best kitten for Sunday at the Edmonton Cat Show in July, he was the 2nd best kitten in show for the weekend. We are so proud of Apollo!

Magnacatta Apollo

2009-08-27T11:46:00.001-07:00

Magnacatta Apollo is 7 months old in this photo. He is a blue British Shorthair with brilliant copper eye color, and pale blue fur. His mother is Hi Crown Everdale of Magnacatta and his sire is RW QGC Hi Crown Edward Lord Singleton.

Guess who's coming for a visit?

2008-01-27T09:35:00.000-08:00

This is Ron, a Selkirk Rex, who is coming all the way from California for a visit here in Canada. He will be introduced to one of our girls shortly and we are very excited about having some curly babies.

He will be here on February 10, 2008, many thanks to Kitti for this great opportunity.

Stonehaven Wolfie Mozart of Hi Crown

2008-01-27T07:02:00.000-08:00

WOW! Wolfie is the most amazing British Shorthair boy of all time. His fur is so shimmery, his head is huge, he is so handsome, and he really does look blue. Wolfie is affectionate and good natured, he is a large stocky cat with all the qualities one wants in a British Shorthair.

Thanks so much to my dear friend Eleanor for letting Wolfie come out west to be properly introduced to our Everdale.

5 British Shorthair Kittens

2007-09-29T14:31:00.000-07:00

Here is Magnacatta Khalid (blue colourpoint boy - back), Magnacatta K Eddie (blue colourpoint boy), Magnacatta Ardello (blue colourpoint boy), Magnacatta Justice (lilac boy), and Magnacatta TrusteeLee (lilac colourpoint boy). They were born September 7th, 2007 and are 3 weeks old in the photo. British shorthairs are called the "Teddy Bear" of cats because their fur is so plush and soft and they look like teddy bears.

Magnacatta Trustee Lee - 3 weeks old

2007-09-29T14:28:00.001-07:00

This is a lilac colourpoint British Shorthair boy whose color will "develop" slowly over the next year.

The Magnificent Magnacatta Liberty

2007-02-18T12:28:00.000-08:00

Magnacatta Liberty is a blue British Shorthair and she is so majestic, her fur is amazing and her eyes are brilliant copper. She has mated with Cheekie Chappie (lilac colourpoint) and will have kittens approximately April 12, 2007. The kittens will be 50% solid blue, 25% colourpoint (blue or lilac) and 25% solid lilac. This is the second breeding between Liberty and Cheekie. The last litter of kittens was excellent and we expect the same with the new litter. Check back in April for updates including pics of the new kittens.

Liberty = Perfection

2007-01-13T13:05:00.000-08:00

HMS Coronita of Magnacatta

2007-01-13T12:59:00.000-08:00

Coronita loves playing with toy mice, she carries them all over the house. She is oober plush and purrs when I hold her and rub her tummy. She has a soft pink nose and paw pads. We waited almost 3 years to get this beautiful girl from HMS in Texas - she will be much loved.

Magnacatta Liberty

2007-01-13T12:44:00.000-08:00

Liberty is a traditional blue British Shorthair and she will be the mom of our next litter of kittens. We expect to have kittens around the end of March 2007.

Magnacatta Tulita

2006-12-06T21:53:00.000-08:00

Tulita is just a beautiful lilac Brit kitten, but she is not just a pretty face, she is the sweetest most affectionate and relaxed kitten of all time. I am very attached to her.

India

2006-09-13T09:48:00.000-07:00

India being held by Darrell - such a sweetie!

Everybody loves Barnum

2006-08-13T17:13:00.000-07:00

He is a just a wonderful kitten and will be a great big teddy bear when he is fully grown! Here is a picture of Barnum at 9 weeks.

Magnacatta Barnum - too cute for words

2006-08-13T17:10:00.000-07:00

Barnum is a blue male and is the biggest kitten of the litter but he is loving and affectionate. His fur is plush and he has large round eyes.

Magnacatta Lord Denning

2006-08-13T17:07:00.000-07:00

Denning ("Denny" to some friends) is a lilac colourpoint boy. I thought he was a female for a while but the vet confirmed my suspicions when he went for vaccinations. He is an active, lively kitten and lets me hold him like a baby but only when it suits him.

Our lilac girl has a drink from the bottle

2006-06-21T21:38:00.000-07:00

Magnacatta Tulita is 3days old and drinks kitten milk replacer from the bottle like a pro. She was not gaining weight in the first few days so we supplement the breast milk with a couple of bottles each day.

Howard Bernard - can you tell he's from Edmonton?

Cat Fanciers

Magnacatta Kaalu, Brenda's favorite

2006-03-23T12:54:00.000-08:00

Magnacatta Kambo, loves the boa toys...

2006-03-23T12:49:00.000-08:00

Kambo is so much fun to play with. He is the first kitten to come running to check out the guests when we have company.

Magnacatta Kambo, the friendliest kitten ever...

2006-03-23T12:47:00.000-08:00

Magnacatta Kelly Nelson, such a sweetheart.

2006-03-23T12:42:00.000-08:00

Mr. Nelson is the biggest kitten in the litter and he is going to be a great big cat when he is full grown. He is very solid and muscular. He is a bit shy but once you are holding him, he relaxes and takes in the love. He looks almost pure white right now but his colour will come in eventually.

Magnacatta Juniper

2006-03-08T00:14:00.000-08:00

It's just not possible to get a bad photo of Juniper. She has no idea how spectacular she is.

Bradford loves the kittens too.

2006-03-08T00:11:00.000-08:00

Magnacatta Kato Kaitlin ("Kato")

2006-03-07T23:54:00.000-08:00

Is there anything cuter on earth? Step aside Mr. Winkles...

Magnacatta Kelly Nelson

2006-03-07T23:51:00.000-08:00

Kelly Nelson is the biggest kitten in the litter. He is lean, solid. He LOVES his food and is often pushing and shoving the other kittens so he has a clear path to his mom when he nurses. He is very strong so the other kittens have a tough time holding on when Mr. Nelson is moving in.

Magnacatta Moonbeam

2006-03-07T23:39:00.000-08:00

Moonbeam is a torbie colourpoint. The light or white markings on her face will fill in with tortoise shell colouring over the next few months. She is the most intelligent kitten in the litter and is very "typey", meaning her physical appearance is close to the breed standard as set by TICA.

Magnacatta Kambo

2006-02-25T21:54:00.000-08:00

Magnacatta Kambo - sleeping in the sun

2006-02-25T21:48:00.001-08:00

Magnacatta Kambo is a red silver tabby colourpoint and he is such an affectionate boy. He purrs when I pet him and he is so relaxed when I hold him.

Magnacatta Kelly Nelson

2006-02-25T21:40:00.000-08:00

Mr. Nelson is a red silver tabby colourpoint and he is the biggest kitten in the litter, which is not surprising since he LOVES food. He had his shots today and he weighed 1 lb. 15 oz. His colour is still very light, he looks almost white, but the colour will come in on the "points" over the next few months.

Bradford at the Cat Show

2006-02-25T09:18:00.000-08:00

Here is Bradford being judged at the cat show in Seattle on February 12, 2006.

Sleepy Kaalu

2006-02-25T09:15:00.000-08:00

Baby Kaalu is my favorite kitten in this litter. She follows me around the house and is the first kitten to come running when she hears my voice.

Sleeping Kambo and Kato

2006-02-25T09:07:00.000-08:00

It is so tough to get photos of kittens because they are always moving. I take hundreds of photos to get just a handful that I can use. Digital photography is a great invention.

Kambo (upsidedown) and Kato are having their afternoon nap.

Eowyn and baby Kato

2006-02-25T09:02:00.000-08:00

Eowyn loves to sit on the cat perch and look out the living room window. The kittens will follow her anywhere so they can nurse. She is a great mom and takes excellent care of her kittens.

Eowyn - Red Silver Tabby Colourpoint

2006-02-25T08:58:00.000-08:00

Baby Juniper

2006-02-25T08:52:00.000-08:00

Magnacatta Juniper is the perfect example of a baby Brit because she looks just like a teddy bear. The Brits are often referred to as the teddy bear of cats.

Juniper is a colourpoint and I expect she will be a lilac cream colourpoint, which will be so beautiful. She is friendly, affectionate and so darn cute!

Magnacatta Kaalu

2006-02-03T12:52:00.000-08:00

Magnacatta Juniper - Such a Sweetie

2006-02-03T09:54:00.000-08:00

Magnacatta Juniper appears to be a lilac cream colourpoint - her true colour will not be known for a few months. She is very playful and loves to roll over onto her back and have her tummy rubbed.

Magnacatta Kaalu

2006-01-31T16:39:00.000-08:00

Kaalu was born December 26, 2005. She is a female chocolate torbie colourpoint British Shorthair. She comes running when she hears my voice or sees me and she mews softly until I pick her up. Sometimes she falls asleep in my arms, which I love. She is playful and affectionate. Her colouring is rare and unusual for Brits in North America.

If you want to know where her name comes from, check out the most excellent film "Water" by Deepa Mehta.

Magnacatta Pinkerton - Simply Perfect

2006-01-16T18:39:00.000-08:00

Pinkerton is a Red Silver Tabby Colourpoint British Shorthair male. This is a very rare colour and I am not aware of any other Brit breeders in North America who have this colour. Look for Pinkerton's photo in an advertisement in the March 2006 issue of Cat Fancy which will feature British Shorthair cats on the cover of that issue.

We currently have kittens born December 26, 2005 who have the same parents as Pinkerton - the dam is Animagus Lady Eowyn of Magnacatta and the sire is Casadeva Cheekie Chappie. Photos of the individual kittens will be posted shortly. The males will be red silver tabby colourpoints and the females will be blue torbie colourpoint or lilac cream colorpoint.

2006-01-16T18:35:00.000-08:00

Here is a new photo of Magnacatta Monsignor Bradford that was taken at the cat show in Raleigh, North Carolina over New Years. He is 6 months old in the picture and weighs about 9 pounds.

This was the most competitive show to date for Bradford but he still got 6 finals and enough points to make him the top British Shorthair kitten for the NW region for the year (so far).

Magnacatta Liberty

2005-12-18T14:22:00.000-08:00

Magnacatta Liberty ("Libby") is 6 months old in this picture. She is sister to Magnacatta Monsignor Bradford. Her eye colour is brilliant copper and her fur is a pale, silvery blue. She is friendly and playful, simply a wonderful kitten. She will be bred with Casadeva Cheekie Chappie, a lilac colourpoint, and it will be interesting to learn if she carries colourpoint. Her grandmother, Excalibur Mrs Bennett of Magnacatta, was a colourpoint carrier, there is a 50% chance her mother, Magnacatta My Girl, was a carrier, and there is a 25% chance Libby will carry colourpoint. Liberty's kittens will not have any colourpoint in a three generation pedigree and will be eligible for registration with CFA as well as TICA. She has not been shown because I do not want the points to be split between her and her brother, Bradford. They are both excellent examples of the breed.

Latest Cat Show News for Magnacatta Monsignor Bradford!

2005-12-11T16:52:00.000-08:00

The Monsignor, also known as Bradford, was entered in the TICA show in the kitten class in Seattle, WA on December 3-4, 2005. He was awarded 9 ribbons (out of a possible 12). His next scheduled show appearance will be at the Raleigh, North Carolina show over New Year's, December 30, 31 and January 1, 2006.

Check out Bradford's current estimated international standing at:
http://home.flash.net/%7Edebreed/est_kit1.htm

At the date of this post, Bradford was ranked 83rd kitten internationally and 6th for the breed. The results for the North Carolina show will be available on the above site a few days after the show.

Animagus Lady Eowyn of Magnacatta

2005-12-11T16:44:00.000-08:00

I travelled to Regensberg, Bavaria Germany to get Eyown when she was 3 months old. She is a red silver tabby colourpoint British Shorthair. She is currently pregnant by Casadeva Cheekie Chappie and will have kittens around the end of December, 2005.

All of the kittens will be colourpoints. The males will be red or cream with or without silver and the females will be lilac cream, blue cream, tortie or torbie.

Contact me to reserve a kitten from this litter.

Casadeva Cheekie Chappie

2005-12-11T16:33:00.000-08:00

Cheekie is a lilac colourpoint british shorthair. He came to Canada all the way from England and usually lives in Hamilton, Ontario with Eleanor Anstruther of Hi Crown Cattery. He is wintering here in Alberta and will be the proud father of kittens with Animagus Lady Eowyn of Magnacatta (born near the end of December 05).

Cheekie has the sweetest disposition. He often sits like a bear and he rolls over onto his back to let other cats know that he is friendly and they have nothing to fear. He is registered with TICA, CFA and GCCF.

Magnacatta British Shorthair Cats

2005-11-08T17:59:00.000-08:00

We are a small cattery and have only two litters of kittens each year. The kittens are raised in a loving home with lots of human contact so they are properly socialized before they are rehomed.

We are expecting kittens in December 2005. The mother is Animagus Lady Eowyn of Magnacatta (Red Silver Tabby Colourpoint) and the sire is Casadeva Cheekie Chappie (Lilac Colourpoint). The kittens will be ready to go to new homes when they are around 12 weeks of age.

If you are interested in our kittens, email me at magnacat@telus.net.
