What an amazing show this weekend, but so, so tough. 18 of the top 25 CFA cats showed up, many of them future national winners. My boys hardly stood a chance; my Mau was up against an amazing bronze that is currently the number 12 premier in the national rankings. For the first time ever, I was rooting for my boy to lose! If this bronze makes it, he would be the first Mau neuter to get a national win.
As for the Turkish Vans, although having turned out as the second largest group in premiership with 5, the grands hardly got a nod in the finals. There were just too many fine examples in the majority breeds!! Our breeder and mentor said that many call this show "nasty cat" due to all the cutthroat competition! Not that I felt it, I was amazed to be surrounded by so much beauty
Best of all, DT (now Oscar
) made four finals with second best long hair premier each time. We're all so proud of him!!
