Treasure has Championed in both CFA and TICA, but she is not a Judge friendly cat.  She'll get all sorts of torbitude with them.  However, even with the attitude, the judges think she's beautiful and have commented that her attitude is what's holding her back. I've been taking her to PetCo and...

At the Houston Cat Show, I had a sitting for each of the Wegies.  This is Treasure aka Miss Hissy Pissy Pants - she's 18 mos old in these shots.  She's a brown patch and white mackerel tabby (CFA) or a brown (black) mackerel torbie with white (TICA).  She's also a Champion in both CFA and TICA...

I'm about to register my girls with TICA. Trinket has a blue slip for TICA and is already registered with CFA.  Treasure wasn't blue slipped even though both mom and dad were TICA and CFA.  I've gotten the certified pedigree from CFA and, obviously, I have her CFA registration. My concern is...

Is she a purebred kitty?  Are you a registered Cattery?  Are you debating if she should go to a Cattery or as a pet?  She's a cutie, but unless you know what breed she is and how she'll meet the breed standard, I really can't suggest anything.

Let me share a story (and yes, I'm the person involved) about why Breeders are so fussy about the right nomenclature for cat colors. I bought Treasure from a new breeder - I didn't realize then how lucky I was to get a whole girl given how new I am.  But I was told she was a Tortoiseshell and...

Having just gotten into showing, the best advice I can suggest is to talk to your breeder or Mentor about bathing your babies. But even with the grooming, aren't shows fun?

Sorry if I came across like I was preachy, I had someone fussing at me earlier this week about what's what in coat colors and I got frustrated and it showed in my answer to you. They are beautiful kitties; the different blends of red and black and white as well as the blue and cream and white...

I don't know if you have an equivalent in Spain, but I use Kitty Bloom probiotics on my girls.  It's a powdered form of probiotics with dried cheese.  I also use a natural product to help with gi irritation.  One of my girls is 17 and has no immune system, another is 18 months old and the last...

She looks like a brown patch mackerel tabby and white (CFA). I'm not as clear with TICA, but I'm pretty sure she'd be a torbieshell and white, as opposed to a tortoiseshell and white. Calicos don't have blending and instead have spots of distinct color while tortoiseshells have no discernable...

Ohhh, beautiful baby

Thanks. I'd wanted to start Treasure when she was a baby, but the project I was on took up most weekends. Trinket on the other hand wasn't self assured, but was incredibly curious about everything.  My next local CFA show is the first weekend in January so I'm going to do lots of socilaization...

Two of my girls are long haired show kitties so I don't use the collar since it can wear on the hair.  But they're chipped.  Even my elder rescue is chipped to be safe; her collar came off when she started fighting it a year ago (she'd had collars for 15 years). I do know that two of the three...

I finally managed to get my girls into a show since work had a stranglehold on me. Treasure got her Champion (even if she wasn't happy about it) and Trinket got a 9th best kitten. Treasure (18 months) trying to decide if she was going to cooperate with me after the fourth ring (by three, she'd...
