Who are the persons behind Coogan´s ?


Peter & Lene

Coogan´s was established in 1996 with our breeding name - and from the beginning it was only Lene who was the founder of Coogan´s.

In November 1996 Lene ran into Peter at the cafe where Lene was working- and it was love at first sight :-).

Peter moved together with Lene almost immediately after and he loved the cats from day one. At that time there were 5 cats - 4 Maine Coons and 1 housecat.

After a while Lene had planed to have one more cat - a male. But Peter did not think that we should have more cats - and that was the first time in our life together that we did not agree :-) After a while Peter got hooked on the shows and breeding. Now we almost fight when we have to bring the cats to the judge - because we both want to present them.. Silly people - but never the less very funny :-)

Peter have the most lovely, sweet and affectionated son, Rasmus - who also love our cats as we love Rasmus. Rasmus has been a big part of our house and cattery and has also been on shows with us. And all the cats love Rasmus too :-) - and we love Rasmus very very much.

All our cats are special and we love dem deeply.

We love our cats very much and will NOT sell our kittens to any one, who will not take good care of the cats and love them for the rest of their life.

Kittens sold for pet will all be neutered before leaving the house.

You can tell us your opinoin, but never the less - this is not up for discussion !!

We love to follow our kittens and to have pictures of them in their new home.

It means a lot to us when we get pictures of them and hear the stories of their mischief, in their new home.

 All our cats live together with us inside and outside. We have no door closed and our garden is fenced.

You are more than welcome to contact us for further information about our cats or kittens.

Health & Testing

We do screen our cats regulary for HCM and all our cats are tested for the MyBPC3 gene. We do use HCM/N (heterozygote positive) cats in our breeding program.

We do use the knowlegde of the this gene in our breeding planning - but we will not let us be ruled by it. We do use this knowledge as a tool for our cats and breeding program - but it is not a religion for us to have only MyBPC3 N/N cats in our cattery. The scientist has too low knowledge of how this gene works and what it does - they only know that there has to be more genes involved before developing the HCM disease.

We do test our kittens - which are sold for breeding - but only on the buyers cost if they want to know before having the kitten.

We do only sell breeding kittens to breeders who are registred with pedigree name in either FIFe, TICA or CFA. We will not start new breeders up - before they know what it takes - in good times and bad times - and have had some experience with the whole breeding process.

When you decide to take a cat home - you must realize that you have a big responsibility and always take the very best care of the cat. No matter what. The cats has not asked to live with us - but we have made that decision for the cat. Therefor you need to be sure that you always can give the cat the very best and always seek Veterinary when needed. It is not free to take that responsibility - so before you take that decision - think twice. For your sake - but mostly for the cats sake :-)

A big and loving Thank you to Sanne & Per (Sebasco´s)  and Bjarne & Lonnie (Fribanikos)

for helping us make this dream come true with a big playground to our beloved cats.

We can not Thank you enough and we are  very grateful to you  !!

 


Every one of our cats are very special to us, and we love them all very very much.

All our neuters, that have been in the breeding, will all stay in our house.

They have given us so much pleasure and will not be re-placed in other homes.

Just because they are not active in breeding any more doesn´t mean that there are no place for them in our house.

They will stay here for the rest of their lives and we will give them all their own special grave yard,

 where they will be honoured as the special cat they were and still will be in our hearts.

One day we went to the Forest.
 
We did not tell the boys - but when we arrived home with the wood - they were thrilled. Because we had  idea to build them a climbing tower outside. So they can sit like the Kings they are and follow the birds and the girls.
Have the cool overview and be cool - with attitude :-)

prepare for the big building

The boys has no clue of what is going on - and has taken the safe way. Inside and watching :-)

Motaro is the KING

- and wants to see what is going on in his garden. Nothing is able to shake him :-)

 

Peter has started to make the wholes for the woods

The wood are in the ground - and now we need the plates for the comfort

Motaro takes a look if it is doing everyting as it should :-)

Done !! - and Motaro has taken the top of the world - place.. Just as expected :-))))

Now its time for Voyager and Master to have their Kingdom tower.

Master is the King - he thinks. But his Daddy has not arrived yet :-))))))

Thank you so much Bjarne & Lonnie for helping us making this dream come true - wiht helping us to build these tree-castle to our boys :-)
