"Happy Xmas (War Is Over)"

Happy Christmas, Kyoko
Happy Christmas, Julian

So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas (war is over)
For weak and for strong (if you want it)
For rich and the poor ones (war is over)
The road is so long (now)
And so happy Christmas (war is over)
For black and for white (if you want it)
For yellow and red ones (war is over)
Let's stop all the fight (now)

A very Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas (war is over)
And what have we done (if you want it)
Another year over (war is over)
And a new one just begun (now)
And so Happy Christmas (war is over)
We hope you have fun (if you want it)
The near and the dear one (war is over)
The old and the young (now)

A very Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

War is over, if you want it
War is over now

Happy Christmas!

Beauty is all grown up! She loves to ride along in the car (she would like to drive the car if she could!), going for walks and trotting next to my bike. This spring I got a second bike, an electric trike equipped with a rear basket perfect for holding her carrier so she can ride along on my adventures as well ... she loves to zoom, zoom, zoom! Just wish she would leave the squirrels and rabbits alone though ... she would love to hunt them down if I let her (hunting dna)!

Gardening is another one of my passions, especially flowers. Here is a sampling of my beautiful blooming Anthurium and Hibiscus Plants. I started out with two Anthurium plants and one Hibiscus plant and managed to raise my number to six anthurium plants (babies) and five Hibiscus plants (cuttings) when I did my spring repotting.  I love the vibrant red shades of these plants and would recommend them to anyone wanting to add a splash of color and joy to your home!

Summer Fruit Desert Recipe
While filtering through my recipe box I found this old recipe, that I had acquired years ago as a teenager working at a kids' summer day camp at Rock Lake. I instantly remembered how much I had enjoyed this treat that summer and decided I had to make it before this summer was over so here it is! Thought I would share ...
*1 pkg instant vanilla pudding, 1 1/2 cups of water, 2 small pkgs whipping cream, 4 cups fruit (strawberries etc), 1 pound or angel food cake (cubed), 1 can eagle brand milk
* Mix can of eagle brand milk and water. Add pudding and blend well. Let chill and set.
* Whip 2 whipping cream. Fold whipping cream into pudding.
* In large glass bowl, layer pudding - cake - fruit - pudding - cake - fruit. End with pudding and decorate with fruit.
Let set for 4 hours. Enjoy!

"Black Beauty" ... was quite the fall/winter 2023/2024 project but well worth the effort and time! What a lot of fun and joy she brings to everyone she meets so adorable! Her intelligence and kindness are amazing, almost human you could say! I feel so blessed, just had to share!

 

Mariama ® Maine Coon Cat Breeders - Sudbury, Ontario, Canada

Mariama ® Maine Coons is a breeder of Registered and Certified Maine Coon kittens in Ontario, Canada with over 30 years of experience with purebred cats and dogs. Our cats are triple registered in Cat Fanciers Association (CFA), The International Cat Association (TICA), and The Canadian Cat Association (CCA) (in good standing since 2006 ). We are also members of the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) (in good standing since 1998 * Long Time Service Member).

Maine Coon Cats are beautiful, loving and amazing creatures that are the ultimate companions! Scientific studies agree and support the belief that when a relationship forms between a human and animal, the bond can have a positive impact on the person's physiological, psychological, and social health. Our main goal and greatest reward is bringing joy, comfort, security, companionship, unconditional love, hope and improved quality of life to others through this very special, therapeutic breed of cat.

We are a small, truly closed, private home breeder meaning our cats never come into contact with strange cats/people and we do not offer stud services to prevent the risk of contamination, thus protecting the health and well being of our cats. Our home is bright, sundrenched and spacious with nonporous floors. We also have an outdoor covered and screened in pergola enclosure that we share with our cats for their optimal health, and their emotional and psychogical well being. Here, along with us, they get to experience the warm sun on their face and the fresh air, thus absorbing plenty of vitamin D which is essential to their health. They also get to safely enjoy watching the wildlife all around - birds, squirrels, chipmunks, frogs, geese, ducks, insects and our family activities. Our maine coon kittens are home raised and well socialized with children and dogs. Our parent cats are Registered, HCM DNA Negative/Negative Combination Parentage Exclusively, PKD DNA Negative, SMA DNA Negative, FeLV Negative, FIV Negative, FIP free, ringworm and parasite free. Our current breeding stock is from Imported European (FIFe) Top Winning and Producing (Multiple - Best In Show, Grand International Champions, World Champions) Genetically Tested Bloodlines.  Our kittens come with a written health warranty.

We are located in Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. We are a beautiful scenic drive, approximately 4 hours north of Toronto, ON. Please see our extensive "FAQ" page for more information on our policies etc. Most of your questions will be answered there.

Maine Coon Cats are known as "The Gentle Giants of the Cat World!", "The Dogs in a Cat Suit!"

As dedicated, long time Registered Maine Coon Cat breeders, we follow the breed standards set out by the major registering bodies in the cat fancy. Our emphasis is on producing cats of excellent type with feral look, silky non-matting coats, giant size and loving, super sweet temperaments. The Maine Coon's gentle, kind nature make them a wonderful breed for first time cat owners, those that cannot have a dog, families with children, the elderly, people with disabilities, those suffering from PTSD and for those that have had bad experiences with cats, which has made them afraid of cats in general. The Maine Coon breed produces fairly consistently with regards to structure, type and temperament (sweet temperament, high intelligence). This genetic predictability makes the Maine Coon an excellent choice for various types of families and makes them highly amenable to training (tricks, walking on a leash, responding to commands). A brisk combing once a week is all that is required to maintain their beautiful, semi-long silky coat.

Their intelligence is incredible and they have been nick-named "The Cat For Dog Lovers" as it is not unusual for people to teach them to play fetch and to respond to commands such as sit or lay down. This rugged, hardy breed with silky weatherproof overcoat and slight insulating undercoat, paw and ear tufting, allows them to feel comfortable both indoors and outdoors (in all weather conditions) which is a real plus for those that want their cats to spend some time in outdoor enclosures and/or enjoy bringing them along for a walk on a harness year round ... truly a cat for all reasons and seasons! Also, like the "icing on the cake" Maine Coon Cats come in a beautiful array of colors and patterns as well as unique color combinations! The Maine Coon Cat will be sure to win your heart! Please refer to the "The Maine Coon" page of our website for more information on the breed.

The Maine Coon is North America's Oldest Natural Longhaired Cat Breed. 

Mariama ® Maine Coons is dedicated to doing our part to promote and ensure the Continued Survival and Preservation Of This Supremely Intelligent, Intensely Loving, Gentle, Highly Trainable and Therapeutic Pedigreed Cat .

The Maine Coon Cat makes an Exceptional Emotional Support Animal (ESA).
Once You are Loved by a Maine Coon Cat You Will Never Be Alone.
A Special Heartfelt Thank you goes to all the dedicated, hard working breeders since the early beginnings of the breed which have truly blessed us with the beautiful Maine Coons we have here today at Mariama to carry on their legacies and to enjoy and share with others through the generations as we journey together, both human and animal, through this great Circle of Life.
