New photos of Kionu (lots)

He was being extremely photogenic today, and I just couldn't pass up the opportunity.

wow, his eyes are SO WIDE!! Such beautiful pics.

Aw very handsome! I like that first black and white picture of him! And his little sweater, how sweet!

He's just BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Thanks so much for sharing!

He's Gorgeous.....beautiful pics!

Wow cute eyes

All of your cats are just stunning!

Oh my goodness he's gorgeous!

Those eyes could put you in a trance!

Fantastic pictures, and what an absolutely beautiful kitty!!!!!!!!

OMG... what beautiful blue eyes

Have you thought about entering him in a pet show? CFA shows have household pet contests, they don't have to be purebred, and he would be a sure fire winner. He is just gorgeous. Becky

Thanks for the lovely comments everyone!

I don't think there are any CFA shows where I live. At least I've never heard of one happening on this island. Kionu is a purebred Persian, but he's only 7 months old. Is that too young to enter him?

If you have his papers you could enter him as a purebred, but his face isn't standard, I don't think. To me he is more beautiful, but he doesn't meet the standard. But you could just enter him as a household pet if you want. There are cat shows in Honolulu. 4-8 months is kitten class, I think, then they are shown as adults.

I don't have his official papers in my possession as he was rescued from the breeder. However, I did see his papers while I was there and he is purebred. His papers were certified by a CFA representative or agent (not sure what the term used is). Anyway, Honolulu is too far away to take him for shows. He can barely handle car rides to the vet.

Thank you for the information though! I will keep it for future reference.

If he doesn't like to travel then even if the show was in your town, he wouldn't have a good time. And cats that are shown should enjoy it. But he is such a poser in front of the camera, I thought he might be the right type. Well, the important thing is that he puts on a show for you at home, and he does that very well. But sometime if you go to Honolulu, try to take in a show. They have the best cat products there, and seeing all the cats is really fun. Becky

He is such a handsome boy! I love the pic where he is peeking out from his little kitty cubbyhole.

Beautiful pictures, as always! I think Kionu might be my favorite of your bunch...shhh...don't tell the others!

Such wonderful pictures!!!

He's beautiful and although he isn't top type wise, his color is relatively new(to breed with...) so he would be a stunner in the show ring!
