Lovey , as we call her, was named after the beautiful old  nostalgic   song " Because I love you ".  She is a Grand Daughter of GC Purricoon's Bohemian Zebulon (Bo)  who at the age of 11, when we retired him, still had  the  beauty and vigor of a much younger male.  We are grateful to Karen Hullander  of Purrbodys Cattery for enabeling us to get Lovey so that we could bring Bo's lineage back into our breeding program.

Kala (pronounced Kah - la) was given this name by Barry Gukes who has a musical background and thought it sounded like the song "California Dreamin."  She is a female that we have waited10 years for.  At last we were fortunate to get a calico and a beautifully marked one at that.  As a young baby, Kala was very shy and aloof, but she had to be trained for showing, so the work to instill confidence in her began.  At six weeks, I would often look down from my computer to find her sitting on my foot in the hopes of being picked up and placed in my lap.  Now as an older, more confident cat, she runs marathons around the house with whoever she can con into following, but still tries to remain my #1 computer supervisor.  Her strongest assets are to walk on the keyboard, misspell as many words as possible in the shortest amount of time, delete as much as she can as quickly as she is able to, and run like heck.  She has already flunked the "Makanacoon Beginner Computer Class".

When Posey was born, one of the first comments about her was in reference to her gorgeous pattern.  She is definitely one of the most beautifully marked Brown Classic Tabbies we've seen in a long time.  Because we thought of her as a show girl, we decided to give her a name befitting a show career ... thus the name "Catch A Pose".

MeMe as we call her is not a big girl, but a baby full of color amid a wonderful coat of smoke hair.  My first Smoke Tortie, she is full of energy, and keeps us in stiches with her antics.  Like a cloud of smoke she often appears from nowhere, but lets you know immediately she's present.  We will be watching her progress over the next few months, and are delighted to have her as a prospective Makanacoon.  I think her sweet little face will give you an idea of why we love her already.  Go MeMe !

Ooh-La-La is a Rita Hayworth kitty with a flaming red coat and huge, eye-catching, red lynx ear tips.  She has a “come hither come go” attitude like some Hollywood starlets, and is definitely a standout in our cattery.  We wish to thank Johnnie Hardee of Guitars Cattery for this beautiful, sexy gal.

Pandie got her name because the markings on her face reminded us of a  Panda Bear.  Like a little bear, she is full of herself and into EVERYTHING.  But, as mischievious as she is, she is  very affectionate, and loves to take out time from her busy schedule to give kitty kisses .... and yes, they are always on the mouth.  At night when I'm in bed, she will find me to give me a good night kiss, which always brings a smile.  And it was so funny to see her give JudgesWalter Hutzler and Bob Molino kisses  when she was shown as a kitten.   I guess we should have named her Smoocher, but with a face like hers...it had to be"  PANDIE"!  (We will be showing Pandie to get her Champion title after her first litter.)

Spots was given her name by John and MJ Teague of Oldwestcoons.  She is a very animated girl that is so much fun to watch as her gorgeous full coat of silver just flows when she moves.  She loves to play, and if a bell from a cat toy rings out, no matter where she is in the house, she is right there for play time.  Spots is my shadow and always follows me... staying within arms reach.  At night, she is one of my cuddle babies as she always sleeps on the bed with me.  
Thanks John and MJ for this Remmington and Dory baby!

Mollei is a huge girl, very long in the body, with the tall tight ears that some breeders are now putting on the Maine Coon today.  She is a very flashy girl, careful in nature, but a cat that would survive in the wilderness, as she evaluates a situation before she jumps right into it.  She loves our cat trees, and can be found on the highest perches where she can keep an eye on everything that goes on.  If she were allowed to climb a mountain, she would probably be the first cat to reach Mount Everest!  She is an amazing cat, very regal and definitely a queen!
We wish to thank John and MJ for this lovely Raindear and Remmington daughter, so we can continue CH Makanacoon's Island Raindear's lineage.

Trucker was named after some of the last words my wonderful, sweet mother told me before she passed away on 9/13/09 after a short, but hard battle with lung cancer.  She knew how hard it was to raise these cats with all the trials and heartaches that a serious breeder goes through, and that so many times I almost gave up my breeding program because of discouragement.  She met this kitten shortly before she died, and told me to "Keep on Truckin".  Thus Miss Trucker got her name, and will always remind me of a very special wonderful Lady that I still cry for and miss so terribly much.

Annie bears the name of my Mother, Anne.  Since we lived many years in Hawaii and on Midway Island where there were many beautiful pathways full of colorful fragrant flowers that led down to the ocean, it seemed appropriate to give this kitten this name.  I remember many a day of walking down to the beaches with my mother.  When my mother met Annie, her eyes brightened, and she got a kick out of her namesake.  Annie will always bring back special memories to me!

We got Jessi from dear friend Cheryl Windsor of Mainally Cattery, and wish to thank her for such a lovely lady.  Jessi is a real kick and just exubes with energy and fun.  She has the happiest purrrrrsonality, and always struts around the house with a smile on her darling face.  She gets along with everyone and loves everyone.  From the time she came to our home, she just fit in so perfectly, and immediately made the rounds to say hello to everyone.  We love everything about this little girl!  Cheryl, you did a fabulous job with this kitten!
