Look at these sweeties. There are 2 copper-eyed whites, 2 brown tabbies and whites and one black and white boy. They are all just as cute as can be. They are into everything. Please check out my persian kittens for sale page if you would like more information. I hope you enjoy the photos!

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

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 judges were great and the food was good too. The line up was 4 rings on Saturday and 4 rings on Sunday. I entered 3 kittens, Startrax She's All That, Startrax Moody Blue and Startrax It's About Time.

On Saturday the judges were Bob Bryan, Loretta Baugh, Gene Darrah and Ellyn Honey. The first ring of the day was in judge Loretta Baugh's ring. In this ring Startrax Moody Blue took Best of Breed and Startrax It's about time took 2nd Best of Breed. The next ring was judge was Ellyn Honey and Startrax It's About Time was awarded the 2nd Best of Breed. 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. In Bob Bryan's final Startax Moody Blue was awared BEST KITTEN! Thank you Bob for this incredible honour! The fourth ring of the day was with judge Gene Darrah and in his ring Startrax Moody Blue was awarded second Best of Breed.

On Sunday the first ring was in judge Doug Myer's ring and Startax It's about Time was awarded Best of Breed!

The last ring of the day was in judge Liz Watson and Startrax She's All That was awarded second Best of Breed.

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.

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.

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.

It was a tough show as there were 7 persian kittens, three of which were in his color class - solid division. There was a blue persian that was there from Texas and her kittens have always done very well. In addition, there was a breeder that seems to show up in this part of the country that has beautiful cats. Sherman made 2 finals, an 8th best Allbreed out of 48 kittens, and a 3rd best specialty out of 22 kittens. For a tough show, I think he did quite well.

His last kitten show will be in Janesville, WI, on December 31st. It will be a split format show, 5 judges in the morning and 5 in the afternoon. There can only be 125 total cats entered because of the split format. I'm hoping he will do well for his last show as a kitten.

Sherman is a cat toy thief. Since his first show, he grabs the toy and runs back into his cage with it. He does this at home too. This time I closed the door so I could get the pictures of him with the toy in his mouth.

I have 3 top show Persian kittens for sale. Two of the kittens are dilute calico females and the third is a black and white male. Check out the photos and video of these up and coming show babies and see them for yourself. Be sure to keep checking my site as I will have more kittens coming up in the near future.

Sherman was up against 3 other persian kittens this weekend. The same 2 white kittens from the last show and then a friend of mine had a black and white kitten from Whozz Cattery - a lot of international winners. Bill Lee was AB and gave him a 2nd best, and Susan Lee, for her first show judging gave him 5th best SP. Sunday morning, I noticed he didn't seem to feel well. He went to the first ring, and he wouldn't open his eyes very wide. I brought him back to my cage and he just didn't seem himself. I went to the next ring, Dewane Barnes, and he had finalled him the last time, so I knew this was going to be a hard decision. I put Sherman in the cage, then tried to get his attention with a toy. He barely looked up at it, and would only open his eyes half way. He also had been making funny movements with his mouth. I told Dewane I was going to pull him, as I didn't think he felt well.

I had a friend of mine that is a persian breeder look at him, and it seemed he was starting to lose a molar in the back, and he was grinding his teeth to get it out. Because of this he just didn't feel well. So, I pulled him for the rest of the day today, but I don't feel bad about it - just bad that he didn't feel well. I wasn't driving home, riding with a friend, and he seemed to be better. He had gotten up out of his little bed before we left, and he sat in my lap all the way home. If it had to happen, glad it was now when he is still young, and not his last show. We have another show in 2 weeks, so all is not lost.

There were 5 persians, counting Sherman. Two whites which were up against him in the solid division, one tortie and one bi-color (black/white). This was a 3-day show and I was there for Saturday and Sunday. There were around 70 kittens competing so it was a tough show. He made 3 finals, 8th AB, 6th AB, and 3rd SP. Fate Mayes, gave him the 8th AB and 3rd SP. I knew he would like him and I was right. When I went to get him, he said, Now that's a cute kitten. On Sunday after judging he asked me where I got him from. I knew he would ask that also. And funny thing, Bill Lee was clerking for him and I asked him if he knew you and he said Yes. I told him Sherman was your breeding. Later today he told me that Fate told he Sherman's body was fabulous. Dewane Barnes gave him an AB final today. Dewane is big on persians that have good boning, weight, and eyes that are wide open. He really gets mad at most of the persians in our region because they won't open their eyes all the way. He was trying to decide between Sherman and the 7 1/2 month old, but she wouldn't open her eyes wide enough.

Good old Sherman though sits right up to the cage door with big, wide eyes, which get bigger if you flash a toy in his face. Everyone at my benching got such a kick out of him. I got him a wand toy with those wind up springs on the end. He would grab a hold of it, then pull on the spring, then run into his cage with it.

The show was held at the JMC Ice Arena. This show hall was filled with lots of vendors and a lot of spectators on both Saturday and Sunday. The weather was nice and even that didn't stop the cat lovers from attending the show!

The area is really beautiful and very green this time of year with many trees in bloom. The shopping is to die for! My car is full!

Startrax Miss Suzzie did not make any finals this weekend so we may put her into the breeding program.

This is Revillion Frank Sinatra's first show as a champion so we came her hoping for some grand points. Unfortunately we didn't make any finals.

Sweetie was up against 2 other grand champions. By the end of the weekend Sweetie hadn't made any finals!! She enjoyed herself.

Overall, this show had very tough competition, so it was hard to stay positive. I have learnt to be happy with the beauty of the cats and that is enough. The last show of the show season is really put on for the campaigners and it is unfortunate, but for those not running a cat have to just take a back seat. I know, that sounds less than fair, but that is the way it is. Lets hope that the new show season bring better things for CFA.
