On this page we feature our neutered boys. Some are placed with families that adore them. Some are still here with us. For pictures of our neutered girls, click here. |
Windwalker Caesar |
Caesar retired in May 2021 after giving us three incredibly beautiful kittens with Harper. Now he's in the house with us, which is what he really wants.
A Supreme Grand Champion, International Winner and a Regional Winner, Caesar is one year old in the picture at left.
In 2020 Caesar was the
6th BEST KITTEN, the
12th BEST CAT in the Mid-Pacific Region and the
2nd BEST RED CLASSIC TABBY MAINE COON shown internationally.
He has heavy boning, upright ears with long lynx tips, a strong muzzle, gentle curve to his profile, great conformation and straight hind legs.
Most important to us, Caesar has an easy-going, pleasant personality and always has a lot to say. |
Windwalker Triller |

Triller retired in December 2019 and as a calm and happy neutered male, can now run around the house with everyone, instead of watching through the screen door from the boys' wing, which looks into the kitchen and dining room.
Triller gave us several litters, passing on his heavy boning, huge head and upright ears with long lynx tips. He has a strong muzzle, a gentle curve to his profile, great conformation and nice, straight hind legs.
He has an easy-going, pleasant personality and as his name suggests, is a very talkative boy, making that wonderful "trill" that some, but not all, Maine Coons do.
Triller was the 11th Best Longhair Cat in 2017 and is a TICA Champion. |
Windwalker Creme de la Creme (Sunny) |
Sunny is a cream classic tabby-with-white neutered male. He is a Quadruple Grand Champion.
In 2017 he was the
BEST Maine Coon Alter, the 20th Best Cat and the 9th Best Kitten in the Mid-Pacific region.
We love this boy so much, so he sired one litter, was neutered, and he's a keeper |
Windwalker Summit |
Summit is retired and lives with his own family, and with Momentum, who was his "wife."
He is very sweet and smart. He holds out his right paw to shake hands, then holds up his left paw to give "high five." He was six months old in the picture at left.
In 2014, Summit was TICA's
Best Brown Classic Tabby Maine Coon and was an International Winner: 24th Best Kitten of all breeds of all kittens shown that year.
In the Mid-Pacific region, Summit was 4th Best Kitten and 6th Best Cat! The next show year, 2015, he placed in the top ten cats shown that year in the Mid-Pacific region, thus earning TICA's Lifetime Achievement award.

Summit is 18 months old in the picture at right. His body is very solid and dense and he weighs 22 pounds. As a "whole" male, his head is broadening so his ears are further apart and not quite as straight up as they were in the picture above.

At left, Summit is four months old, showing his "show cat" potential because everything about him is an extreme version of the Maine Coon standard. As he develops, these things become less pronounced, but still clearly awesome. |
Cloistercoon Chinook of Windwalker |
 |
Chinook is one year old above and six months old in the picture at left. He is a beautiful example of a black smoke with white color. He retired from breeding in March 2018 and now lives happily in his own home, with his own family, in Washington DC.
Chinook has a sweet personality, a very strong muzzle and chin, ears set nicely on his head and a perfect, gently curved profile.
Chinook is a Supreme Grand Champion and a Regional Winner.
In 2016 he was the Sixth BEST CAT, Best Maine Coon, and 18th BEST KITTEN in the Mid-Pacific Region.
Internationally, Chinook was the BEST BLACK SMOKE/WHITE KITTEN shown in the 2015/16 show year. |
Windwalker Kensington |
Kenzie is a
Supreme Grand Champion
and International Winner (IW), (one of the top 25 kittens in the world).
TICA 19th Best International Kitten
In the Mid-Pacific region in 2011/12, he was 3rd BEST KITTEN and Fifth BEST CAT.
Kenzie has a very strong muzzle and a deep strong chin. He has a hard, muscled body and a beautiful head, with nicely-shaped eyes, ears set well on his head, and a gently curved profile.
Kenzie retired in 2014. He gave us strong, healthy kittens with fabulous personalities, as affectionate, intelligent and personable as he is.

In the picture at right he is four years old.
In the picture below Kenzie is three months old.

Kensington says, "The most interesting man in the world drinks Dos Equis, but the most interesting kitten in the world recommends Windwalker Cabernet!" Here's our buddy, posing with a wine from Windwalker, the winery after which our cattery is named. |
Windwalker Tyrone Power |
 |
Seven months old in the picture above, Tyrone is a TICA Supreme Grand Champion and an International Winner. 10th Best International Allbreed Kitten 2010/11
Best Brown Classic Tabby Maine Coon Cat
Tyrone is also a Regional Winner in the Mid Pacific region
BEST KITTEN of the Year 2010/2011
Seventh Best Allbreed Cat
Third Best Longhair Cat |
< |
Pictured above at eight months old, Tyrone is a warm, brown classic tabby. He has a beautiful head with a strong, boxy muzzle, deep chin, large, well-placed ears, a smooth profile and a dense body with heavy boning.
Most important, Tyrone is very sweet. Whenever you call his name, he responds with a funny little meow. |
 |
Pictured above at five years old, (January 2016), Tyrone is much bulkier now that he is older and is neutered. |
Windwalker Wonder (Watch Wonder mature - one to 10 years) |
 |
Easy-going and charming, Wonder was eight years old in the picture above. A TICA Supreme Grand Champion and International Winner, Wonder was also a CFA Grand Champion. Wonder gave us wonderful kittens and was the foundation of our breeding program.
For 16-and-a-half years we shared our lives with this sweet, charming boy. In the summer of 2021, when he was 16 years old, we knew that Wonder had Inflammatory Bowel Disease. We managed it and he had a comfortable and happy time with us until the sunny January day when we said good-bye.
On January 28th, Wonder went on ahead. He woke early his last day, in his warm bed on his cot, in his special place by the window, and waited patiently for the birds to come. Then he spent the day in his favorite spots in the yard, enjoying the breeze and absorbing the warmth of the sun, until it was time to go.
We weren't ready to say goodbye, but Wonder was finished with his journey. Rest in peace, gentle man. You were the most Wonderful cat in the world. |
To be part of our breeding program - Stringent tests |
Before we decided to keep Wonder for our breeding program, we had the DNA test done to make sure he does not carry the MyBPC gene. Then Dr. Lori Siemens, certified veterinary cardiologist, performed echocardiography with Doppler color-flow imaging to check his heart, and a vet x-rayed his hips to make sure he does not have hip dysplasia, another possibly-inherited disease.
Even when he passed these stringent evaluations, we wouldn't use Wonder in a breeding program if he weren't an outstanding example of the breed. We demonstrated that by taking him to cat shows to compete with other Maine Coon cats, where he earned the points to give him regional and international awards and titles.
Wonder has lots of ribbons, titles and awards, but it's his gentle charm and intelligence, the goofy, sweet personality that people expect in a Maine Coon cat, that makes him an excellent candidate for fathering kittens.
Wonder's personality came through in all his kittens, and he loves kittens. When his babies were being born, he waited outside the bedroom door, and when they were old enough for him to be with them, he let them climb all over him and played with them, hiding in the tube and pawing them when they jumped in. |
Windwalker Tatanka Iyotanka |
 |
"Tank" is four months old in the picture above, and two years old in the picture at right. He has the gentle, sweet personality of Wonder, his father, and the intelligence of Acadia, his mother. He looks just like Wonder, and has Wonder's same mannerisms.
Tank is supremely happy now, living with his own family in a home that is all his own. (Tatanka Iyotanka was Sitting Bull's Sioux name.) |
|
Windwalker Batman |
Batman, "Batters, " was supremely happy for nine years with his people, until July 2018, when he was diagnosed with cancer. When he let them know in the subtle ways that cats have, that it was time to leave them, his family helped him do his favorite things and be in his favorite places one last time. Missy sat with him a long time the last night. Rebus gave him nose kisses. The last day he gradually, peacefully left them.
His people say, "He was such a beautiful, communicative, loving, and noble being. He was a prince among Windwalkers. We are so appreciative and incredibly lucky to have had him and Holly for so many wonderful years."

Windwalker Atticus |
Atticus is two years old in this picture. He sired two wonderful litters and our Christmas 2010 gift to him was a new home, where he will be loved and cared for all his life, running through the house with with a couple of other Windwalker cats and sitting on Andy's lap watching the football game.
There will always be a special place in our hearts for Atticus, who was a "singleton" kitten. See the Atticus Diary for pictures of him growing up.
Atticus is a TICA Double Grand Champion and
TICA Mid Pacific Region 2010 17th Best Kitten and
16th Best Longhair Cat |
Windwalker Edison Carter |
Born December, 2010 from Windwalker Atticus (above), and Windwalker Kiara, Edison Carter is pictured at left at nine weeks old. When he was four months old, at the cat show in Seattle, he was one of the Top Ten Cats in Show in all 12 rings.
Then he went to friends who have several older cats from us. This is what they say about him:
Edison Carter is 15 - pounds that is. At ten months, he is developing into the most beautiful boy. ...what an expressive face.
He is absolutely the most perfect cat for our household. He is everyone's friend. He's even gotten our persnickety older rescue cat more out of her shell. He and Rory have a good wrestle nearly every day and Rory loves it. Edison is also an absolute goofball. He can be so funny just with being playful and interested in everything. He did have his first two conquests last week. First was a fly which I got away from him before he ate it. Second was a big vase. Art teases me that I don't get mad at him. Ah, if you have animal companions, don't get attached to stuff.
