In Spring 1996 the Forestsprite Maine Coons entered my life on not so silent paws. I had no idea then, that 3 forest sprites should change my life fundamentally. Especially Charly - our goldbear who died with not even 10 years. Very early he created my desire to learn as much as possible about him and his family and ancestors.

Triggered by the "advanced training programs in health issues", prescribed to me by our 3 forest sprites, soon the subject family research arose to unexpected dimensions: I decided to make our experiences availabe for other cat enthusiasts - if nothing else, because I found out that all too often bad and painful information is kept secret. Thus started my linechasing interest.

Orphan research: wanted the missing links (worldwide)

We have not only database maintainers who enter pedigrees that are sent to us, but also people who actively work with corrections when something seems strange to us, and add the missing cat in the background of already entered cats. At the moment Stefanie Könemann (This email address is being protected from spambots.

*** Please send only one e-mail with a single pedigree per issue (subject: name of the cat).
