We are pleased and proud to share our newest show champion Siberian Cat, FeLine.  After a long show weekend where she was having stiff competition against a large male she managed to not only win a final and accumulate the points needed to earn her champion title but she was awarded the Best Cat beating out some 56 other cats entered into the show in that ring.  We did not get a chance to thank the judge as she had to leave to catch her flight but we are extremely grateful and so happy that our girl is special in the eyes of the judges as well as our own.

FeLine is young still, just over 1o months at the show with a great deal of growing still to do to come into her potential.  To have her awarded such a wonderful honor so young, and at such a difficult time in development for most cats being akward “teenagers” is an honor but also shows that others recognize great potential in her and her future promises to be great!

As a kitten she won 4 finals at the show in Austin, Texas so we knew she had a good chance for more finals but typically it’s not easy for an immature female to compete against a bigger male.  The standard is written for the male and FeLine had to compete extra hard in order to gain notice and yet she did in some rings getting best of breed.  There were also two cats just out of kitten class that were hard to compete against too.  She made us all proud and we cannot wait to take her to her next show and watch her shine.

Thank you goes to (N)Siberikos cattery for producing this amazing girl and trusting us with her.  We love her and will cherish her always, even if she never wins another award though we find that highly unlikely.  Thank you to Helmi Flick and Ken for the wonderful photos of both our girls, bringing out the grace and beauty for all the world to see.  Thanks also to the wonderful judges at the show who handle our cats with respect and admiration and are a joy to watch in the rings.  I find myself learning something new at every show and not only from judges but from fellow exhibitors, friends and even questions from spectators that make me think.  Thank you to the Heart of Texas Cat Club for putting on such a great show and all those who volunteer to make it happen.  But our greatest thanks goes to FeLine herself who put up with quite a lot from show baths, grooming, strange noises, people and places so that we can show her off to the world.  We love you sweetheart!
