Congratulations to Midwest Persian Tabby Fanciers for a great show this past weekend! The show was held at the Wayne Ford Civic League Centre in Westland Michigan just outside of Detroit Michigan. The show hall was a good size with lots of space, not to mention the carpet was very nice on the feet!

The third ring of the day was in judge Bob Bryan’s ring and Startrax Moody Blue was awarded Best of Breed and Startrax It’s About Time was awarded second Best of Breed.

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

Thursday, January 11th, 2007

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

Tuesday, January 2nd, 2007

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.
