SolanaRanch Innocent Rebellion - Bella
from BeauxMondes Innocent Bystander and Wildernesswell Jacobite Rebllion
Bella, a fourth-generation Bengal from Elias of Callista, is a special cat. We are so excited to have an Ibby daughter thorugh a differnte lineage to keep the line going.   Her large, expressive eyes and wide based ears keep the wild look we are going for, yet she has the preferred profile so many others want.  It is hard to keep the eyes and the profile on the same cat - we always default to eyes before profile - but when we can get them to come together, it's a keeper.

Bella's Genetic Lineup:  Coat genetic need testing.  PKDef N/N, PRAb N/N which means does not carry for either PK Deficiency or PRAb.  Bella last test HCM negative in 2018. Bella's mother last screened HCM negative at 8 years old and her sire at nearly 4 years old.

Regional Winner Quadruple Grand Champion SolanaRanch Patience
from SolanaRanch Serenity and SolanaRanch What the Deuce
Patience, who is five generations from Leopard cat Taro of Bundas and six generations from Leopard cat Elias of Callista, is the product of 17 years of dreaming.  Her grandmother Maisie was white bellied and her mother Serenity had a wider expression of white but what was missing is black pigmented markings - and Patience got that too.  A TICA judge who has previously owned a Leopard cat sought me out to tell me that Patience's white is Leopard-cat white. Patience is important to me, not only for her white, but also to show that Leopard cat agouti has other uses in the breed besides creating charcoal patterns.  We hypothesize that Leopard cat agouti allows these colors to all express with such vibrancy.  We're hoping to do this again, without the glitter, but that will require a little more patience. 

Patience's Genetic Lineup: Apb/A, TaM/TaM, C/cb, Pk Deficiency N/N, PRAb N/N which means Patience has one copy of Leopard cat agouti.  She carries for sepia but is homozygous spotted, and she does not carry for either PK Deficiency or PRAb. Patience tested negative for HCM in 2021. See Patience's Wisdom Panel Test Results along with her 35% Genetic Diversity.
