Musta, our King – our cherished beautiful boy, who shared and enriched our lives for so long but now the end of an era, he has passed over the Rainbow Bridge leaving his memory forever etched upon our hearts. Musta enjoyed his retirement years, settling in so well with the rest of our Ragdoll family, he would sleep on our bed as he did so when he first came to us and still kept his sweet way of headbutting everyone and everything! In his younger years, he was shown circa mid 90s and achieved much success including Top Overall Adult Ragdoll 1996 in the British Ragdoll Cat Club at the same time his counterpart – our other King – Sonny, achieved Top Overall Neuter and Top Overall Ragdoll – we have been immensely proud of both beloved boys! Musta sired generations of champions and premiers which include his daughter Ch. Sonnifacio Cherri Cerruti, the first Mitted Ragdoll champion and his son - UK Grand Champion Sonnifacio Masterpiece, the first adult male Ragdoll to have achieved this title. Famed for his outstandingly gentle and relaxed temperament, this came through consequtively in his kittens together with his soulful deep blue eyes (for which he won an award!), wide earset and good bone. Born from pure Old English pedigree lines, he leaves behind him, the legacy of his beauty, temperament and type in the progeny he has sired over the years and a deep void within our lives. Sleep well our precious boy… for us, you and Sonny were Kings of Kings.

Miamorio Mr Bigstuff of Sonnifacio

Bigsy is Musta’s son and heir here at Sonnifacio – exceptionally beautiful as his father before him, he also has the similar gentle temperament and lovely type – the requisite broad earset, deep blue eyes and sweet retrousee nose! He adores attention and rolls around going ‘all silly’ when he is stroked and petted! Born purely from Old English pedigrees, he also strongly resembles his maternal grandfather Pandapaws Mr. Biggs – from whom Bigsy is his namesake due to that same wide-eyed look! Young Bigsy achieved good success on the Show Bench when shown as a kitten. Like their respective fathers (Musta and Chase Manhatton), the two sons, Bigsy and Baby Chase share their lives together and are totally bonded!

Doromas Jimmy Mac of Sonnifacio

Ragamour Cinzano x Doromas Lucienne

Mackie is a gorgeous blue colourpointed young man of excellent 100% Old English type, temperament and pedigree. He has good strong bone with a sweet face and friendly albeit noisy disposition! Nicknamed Big Mac, due to his hearty merry voice, he loves attention and he too rolls around going all silly in true Ragdoll fashion! With his appealing expression and wonderful thick glacial blue coat, Mackie is siring beautiful typy babies with Musta’s daughters – and is an affectionate beau with his ladies! We are thrilled with our wonderful boy!

Chase, our wonderful blue bicolour boy sadly passed away one spring evening in 2002. A truly lovely cat with a sparkling friendly temperament that matched his deep cornflower blue eyes. Of excellent type, Chase achieved much show success in the latter 90s. He had a particularly lovely profile showing the desired ski-slope nose with the retrousee tip and his picture has been used to depict the type of the Ragdoll. Gentle and friendly, he and Musta adored each other and always lived together, only parted when one or the other of them was entertaining a lady! We have his son Baby Chase (Honeyrags Manhattons Sun whom you may like meet on Our Neuters page) who looks similar to his father and of whom lives with Bigsy as their fathers lived together before them. We miss him still….
