I really didn‘t expect his terrific success at his first exhibition because I still thought he is too skinny. I also thought his coat could be a bit more. All the more I’m happy about his success. I still have the picture of him in my mind when I picked him up in Denmark. And this was only two months ago, and he changed so much already, and probably will change as well some time soon…
At the first day Cover became two times Best Variety and was nominated for Best in Show. At the second he also became Best Variety, was nominated for Best in Show, became Best in Show and became in the end also Best of Best, of 61 Maine Coons. We are both so proud of him.
In the Jury’s report is written:
Elongate, on high and athletic legs standing tomcat, ex. muscular, image very good, chin forceful, good cheeks, eyes very good in form and bigness, ears big and good placed, ex. coat’s quality in length and texture. All in all a beautiful energetic tomcat.
And there is also his absolutely gentle character. He is so easy to present. He is as cool as a cucumber. This tomcat is just a dream.

I really thank you Anita that you made this possible.

Undercover came to us by a roundabout. More precisely, we owe his moving-in to an unfortunate accident. Actually he was, like his brother Uncle Sam, sold to Denmark for breeding. His breeder (Anita Beyer, of the Cattery Summerplace) asked me for picking up Undercover by order of her and his brother, who fares badly at the current owner, and for taking them both in temporarily. Eventually I drove to Denmark and collected Undercover and Uncle Sam. They were both very scruffy and skinny. I took care of their physical welfare and arranged with Anita that she would book a flight to Hamburg next week to pick up the tomcats. But unfortunately she could only take one tomcat along in mid-air, and we decided that for the present one tomcat remains with us to geld him and to find a lovely place for him. But I already fell in love with Undercover because he is such a dear cuddler who doesn’t get frightened by anything and would give everything for a cuddle. He is always and everywhere present and he does never get worked up. So I gave Anita Sammy and kept Undercover. But I didn’t like the thought of castration and of the handing over. Fortunately I could persuade her that I could keep Undercover for the time being uncastrated. If he further on behaves that nice and uncomplicated, we hope for – after a little increase in weight and a bit caregiving – beautiful and loving young generation of him. I thank you so much, Anita, for the cuddly type Cover, and also for the trust in me.
