Dam Dossier
Sully
Sully is our black smoke European Maine Coon queen — quiet, deeply devoted, and the softest temperament in the household. The smoke coat looks solid black at rest, but each guard hair sits on a white root, so when she moves the coat seems to shimmer.

Questions, Answered
About Sully.
- What's the difference between black smoke and solid black?
- A solid black Maine Coon has black hair from root to tip. A black smoke has white roots beneath black tips — when the cat is still, it reads as solid black, but the silver undercoat is visible at the ruff and when the coat is parted. We have a dedicated journal essay on this comparison.
- Will Sully's kittens be smoke?
- Pairings involving Sully can produce smoke, solid black, and silver variations depending on the sire's genetics. We share expected color outcomes with reserved families before each pairing.
