I am one of the few Persian cat breeders with national winning bloodlines and often have cats & kittens for sale

I appreciate you taking an interest in my cats, breeding program and my show career in The Cat Fancier's Association. I have been breeding and showing Persians for over 10 years. I guess you could say that cats are my life!

Startrax has new Persian kittens!

TICA Show Results

Congratulations to Glass Citicats for a very successful show! When I arrived at the show on Friday afternoon the club hadn't quite finished setting up so things were a bit crazy. However, that didn't stop the entry clerk from greeting me at the front door and introducing himself and he shook my hand and thanked me for coming to the show! Wow... I can't remember having such a greeting at any of the CFA shows that I have too! Usually it's, give me your money and I will tell you where you are benched. I was really taken back from this greeting. Immediately I felt welcome and appreciated for being there.

I entered 3 kittens: Startrax It's About Time, Startrax She's All That and Startrax Moody Blue. Over the coarse of the weekend we made a total of 11 finals! How exciting! I want to thank all of the other Persian breeders that were genuinely happy for my wins, as they seem to appreciate the quality of the cats. I really had a nice time.

The show was sponsored by Royal Canin and they greeted us with champagne and fondue on Friday night. On Saturday the club organized a seminar on genetics and afterwards there was a reception. The show was all about the animals and making people feel welcome and having a good time. This is not the first time that I have been to a TICA show and it won't be the last either. The show hotel was very clean and pet friendly. The vendors were excellent and there were lots of them to pick up anything from a catnip toy to shampoo. Thanks again Glass Citicats for an excellent show! See you again next year.

The next TICA show in the Great Lakes Region is March 10th and 11th in Dayton Ohio. Check out their website for more information www.tica.org

Midwest Persian Tabby Fanciers, Westland MI

January 27-28 in WESTLAND, Michigan.

I will be taking my 3 persian kittens to the Wayneford Civic League on 1645 N Wayne Road. The show is being put on by the Midwest Persian Tabby Fanciers. I have been to this show in the past years and they always put on a great show. The show hall has lots of natural light and it is 8 rings! In the past we have had to trudge through 3 feet of snow and other years have been sunny and dry. It looks like snow on Saturday but mild temperatures. I am really looking forward to seeing all of the familiar faces as I haven't been to a show since the Golden Triangle show in Kitchener, Ontario last May! I look forward to posting the results of the show weekend as soon as I am back. If you are close by come to the show and look for the kittens! There will be lots of other persian cats and kittens for you see and they always have good vendors for shopping.

Sherman finished 3rd best in show

Here is the official report - Sherman finished 3rd in the show. I knew what a fantastic show he had.

He has really bonded with me now too. He talks to me all the time and when I get ready in the morning he sits on the toilet or the counter waiting for me to get done. He now wants me to hold him and I scratch his neck, and he loves it. When I go to the bathroom, he insists on sitting on my lap.

Sherman's Last Kitten Show, Dec 31, 2006

Sherman performing for the judge

His last kitten show was absolutely perfect. He looked great, and judges commented on his impeccable grooming and on his beautiful big eyes, especially the intense eye color. The show was held in Janesville, WI, a one day show. Five judges in the morning and five judges in the afternoon. There was a total of 32 kittens, of which 19 were longhair kittens. Sherman made 9 out of 10 finals!!! This is what he got: 2 AB, 3 SP, 3 SP, 4 AB, 4 SP, 4 AB, 2 AB, 7 AB, 5 SP.

Exhibitors that have seen him since he was 4 months old were just amazed at how big he was and how beautiful. One judge told me he has the prettiest face. I had so much fun with him at the show and he really loves showing. He always stands up and plays with any judge that is willing to pull out a toy.

He will be altered in January, then his next show will be January 27-28, 2007. Looking forward to that show.
