Tanni is a fawn Somali. I think of
fawn as a champagne mauve color. There is a lavender cast
to the coat and it is ticked in a soft cocoa brown. Tanni is a long elegant Somali with a very gentle and loving personality. he is the consummate gentleman of the household and shows his affection by head butting, something Somalis are very keen on. Tanni (pronounced tawny) is a Somali word meaning tall, well built man. |

Kashka is full sister to Tanni. She is a blue Somali and has warm steel blue ticking over a mushroom colored undercoat.. Kashka is very affectionate and loves to give kitty kisses. This is similar to doggie kisses but more raspy and less wet. She has had her first litter of 2 fawn kittens, one male and one female. We called them Luke Skysquawker and the Princess Layabout. Luke is available as a show alter and the Princess is in Canada lending her regal presence to a kingdom of Orientals. Kashka is a Somali word meaning deep feeling of the heart. |

Danab Shiban or Dani was the first Somali of my own breeding. He had virtually no voice but, made an interesting air sound, kind of Maaah, Maaah. Dani made best kitten in his first ring and went on to be ACFA's Best Somali. He made a regional color win in CFA. He had a fiery coat and a snuggly disposition. Sorrel or Red Somalis have a deep red coat ticked in chocolate brown. Danab Shiban means Silent Thunder in Somali and he made a noise that touched our hearts. |

Kadis Lulli (Katie) and Jaah Sadin (Jazz) are ruddy Somalis. Ruddy is the most common color for this breed. They are a rich mahogany color with black ticking. The eyes range from gold to green and are large and almond shaped. Kadis Lulli means unexpected beauty and grace and is my very special girl most definitely sent by Vanilla. Jaah Sadin means prophesy of the North Star. Their father is Mabuhay Lone Star. Jazz is the cornerstone to my non-dilute (ruddy & sorrel) breeding program. |
