PEDIGREE & HEALTH INFO

 

Meet my very first silver torbie & white girl. Born to sweet "Lassie" during the summer of 2009 is this amazing girl. From the minute she was born, I knew she was a keeper!  No, not really (who can actually know which kittens will be show/breeder quality at birth). Based on her color, however, I had high hopes she would. While never the largest in the litter, she proved to have the amazing type I want from my breeding cats. She has a square muzzle, a profile that is (usually) without any sign of a bump as it has a gentle slope to it & her chin lines up with her nose. Her ears are large and furnished with lynx tipping (thankfully as her siblings didn't all have that extra feature). As she's grown, her body has filled in very nicely in size & length.

*Sept 2010: Thanks to judge Kay DeVilbiss who gave Caray her needed "Best Cat" award for completing her Supreme Grand Champion title requirements! After taking the summer off from showing, Caray hadn't been enjoying the showhall and we're thrilled she is now retired from showing to focus on being a mom! Plans are in the works for a fall breeding.

  
Caray's favorite spot (and human) is my dad. She could sometimes care less about the rest of us, but seeks him out for lots of love & attention. I've heard he's also taught her how to play fetch, but she won't let me watch.


Caray learned quickly that the sisle poles were lots of fun! Here she is with Judge Rene Knapp and Trainee David Knudleman.

Caray hasn't been shown much as a kitten (just once) due to my active showing of her best friend, House, who is the same age.

I took Caray to her first show at 6 months and a bit scared on Saturday, she really blossomed & realized on Sunday that showing was lots of fun. At home, she's a toy junkie & on Sunday she let the judges know it too! I was a bit shocked when she beat House in a few rings & ended up with three finals.
