	Excalipurrs R E S P E C T is a classic torbie and white female born on March 3, 2009. We had be talking about naming a kitten after the Aretha Frankin song for some time but Retha earned it. :-) At 2 months of age, Retha walked into the bedroom and promptly set about putting the adults in the places (except OC, QGC Excalipurrs Cinnply Irresistable, who is top cat and won't tolerate the shenanigans of upstarts.)

	CH Coonopry Susie Q of Excalipurrs (aka Lil Bit) is a solid black female. Lil Bit is very playful and doesn't let the big kids push her around :-) She is the first solid in our Maine Coon breeding program. Not at all a difficult color to photograph - LOL! Lil Bit is now living in Rockport with other Maine Coons of mine - Sassi and Ms Chiff.
