JOJO Lakeland & District Cat Club Saturday 18th June 2011
I left home in pouring rain, lovely sunny day in Kendal and then drove home in heavy rain.
I had decided to enter Oscar at this show and it was to be his first time out in over 12 months. He does love his 'days out' and it seemed a pity to leave him at home now that the GCCF have opened up new classes for Imperial titled cats. I must admit I was a little shell-shocked to be informed by text message that Oscar had won the Olympian Class in a line-up of 5 top winning Imperial titled cats. Thank you very much, Mrs. Marriott-Power. I believe he is the FIRST British cat to get this award. Here he is, relaxing after a hard day being admired!!
OSCAR ALSO WON BEST OF BREED AND TWO FIRSTS IN SIDE CLASSES.
GRCH LEONITARA PRINCE-CHARMING
LEO ALSO WON BEST OF BREED, RESERVE IMPERIAL AND TWO MORE FIRSTS.

Shorthair Cat Club of Scotland Saturday, 16th April, 2011
This was well worth the early start! Such a friendly show and the amenities are very good. Plenty of car parking and good inexpensive canteen all day. Also plenty of seats around to rest your weary legs.
Leo was on top form and I recovered quickly from the fact that he pushed open the top of his carrying box and had a short saunter round a few pens. However, he was easily scooped up and returned to his pen! He has such a wonderful temperament -why did I worry?
Results: Leo was awarded the Imperial Grand Certificate (judge Mrs.S.Heavens), also the Grand Certificate (judge Grace Denny), best of breed and first in all his side classes. SO A RED CARD DAY FOR LEO. He was then chosen as Best British Adult in Show which was the icing on the cake.
This was JoJo's first show and she thoroughly loved it - lots going on and people talking to her. Alfresca Just-Jojo won her kitten class and was best of breed.
My thanks to all judges for my wonderful day.
A very contented Leo JOJO

Thank you again, Jane and Loobie, for all your assistance. I couldn't have managed without you. Here is JoJo at 7 weeks old

I was pleased to be awarded the c.c. with Leonitara Madame Butterfly. This is her second challenge certificate. Fly has only been shown three times since her adult debut in 2007.
It has come to my notice that unscrupulous advertisers are using photographs of my kittens to advertise on various dubious 'pets for sale' websites. If you recognise any of my photographs on these sites and they are not linked to my website, I should be grateful if you could inform me as soon as possible as steps will be taken to prosecute the offenders. Thank you.

This was not to be Gemma's 'day'. I was hoping against all odds that she would win her final qualifying Grand Certificate but she was very 'out of coat' and calling strongly and George Gow awarded the certificate (quite rightly) to Suzanne Griss's lovely colourpointed girl. Well done, Suzanne. However, all was not lost, and Gemma was awarded the challenge certificate in her Open Class and went best of breed. She also won a first in a side class of five.
Here she is relaxing in a very warm show hall!

Saturday 31st May 2008 Durham County Cat Club
I consider this to be my 'local' show as it is only about 20 miles away. It was a very hot day and for this reason the show closed early so the show committee are to be congratulated in getting the rosettes and cards out on the pens in good time.
Oscar was reserve Imperial Grand Champion, he won the Grand Champion class and was best of breed. Alfresca Venus Littlegem was made up to Champion today at the age of 15 months. Her Dad, Gr.Ch. Evawill Mr. Puddington who was in the next pen was best of breed. Well done, George.
Saturday 3rd May 2008 Manchester & District Cat Club Show
Oscar was awarded the Reserve Imperial Grand and in strong competition won the best of breed. It's a long time since I saw such a large turnout of British Silver Tabbies and Spotties at a show.
Alfresca Venus Littlegem delighted me by winning her second challenge certificate. Both cats behaved impeccably and enjoyed their day out, despite the hall being very warm.
Alfresca Thunder (owned by Angela Buckley) was Reserve Grand Premier and won his open class and premier certificate. Well done, Angela and Thor. Thor is looking magnificent. He is so typically British, large and cuddly!

Alfresca Venus Littlegem won two firsts, a second and a third at her first show as an adult.
The West of Scotland Cat Club Saturday 15th December 2007
Although a long way to travel early on a December morning, this is such a nice friendly show. Today it was the turn of my Black Silver Tabby Leonitara Madame Butterfly who is now 10 months old and into the Adult class. Oscar was left at home having a well deserved rest.
The judge was Mrs. Wolstenholme who gave Fly her first c.c. The best of breed was awarded to her Dad, Gr.ch. Evawill Mr. Puddington who also won the Imperial Grand. Well done, Jane. Fly went on to win three firsts and a second in her side classes and she really enjoyed her day out. Also being shown for the first time were two Alfresca kittens, the silver tabby girl Alfresca Windflower who won her Open class and the black silver spotted male kitten, Alfresca Xantos who won his Open class also. Well done to Pam Roberts - I hope you all enjoyed your day out.
Cheshire Area Cat Club 10th November 2007
This is not normally a show I would attend, on account of the distance involved and its proximity to The Supreme. However, I had already decided that I was not going to show at The Supreme, so I decided to show at The Cheshire in order to support Sandra Little who had bought Alfresca Silver Xanadoo from me back in early September. I was very glad I did!
AC British Imperial Grand Champion Male Imperial Grand Certificate awarded to Grand Champion Adcinsh Silver Edwin. Oscar had a wonderful day, winning his first Imperial Grand, his 15 c.c., Best of Breed and first in all his side classes. So, a red card day for Oscar and just when we thought it couldn't get any better, there he was in the Best in Show British pen. Thank you to all his judges.
Black Silver Spotted Kitten lst and bob - Alfresca Silver Xanadoo. Well done Sandra - I am so proud of you both.This was the first show for both Sandra and Xanadoo (Geordie) and it was Sandra who suffered from "beginner's nerves". Geordie was very cool and laid back.

This is always a great show with a good number of British Silver Tabbies and Spotties entered. This year was no exception.
In the British Champion Male class (judge Celia Leighton) Oscar won the Reserve Grand Certificate out of 6 cats entered. I am so pleased with that award. He also won his Open and was awarded his 14th Challenge Certificate.
My black silver tabby female kitten, Alfresca Vanity Fayre (Nellie) won her open class and was awarded the best of breed. She was so relaxed about the whole day. Mrs. M. Rodger was the judge on this occasion.

His handsome son, Alfresca Thunder (Thor) won his open class and BOB and now has four premier certificates and so has earned the title of Premier. He was much admired by the members of the public. He also won first in three side classes. Even though the hall was very warm and the day was long, both cats were very well behaved and, I like to think, enjoyed their day out, playing up to their audience. 11th April, 2007 Oscar and Sparkle have had a lovely litter of four.

Coventry and Leicester Cat Club Saturday, 24th February 2007
Congratulations to Alfresca Teefa Tango and her owner Mrs. Angela Buckley for winning the c.c. under judge Freda Matthias. This is Teefa’s second c.c. and she is not yet 12 months old. She was calling very strongly on the day and on this occasion lost out to the male for best of breed. Alfresca Thunder was second in the Open but later in the day picked up two firsts and a second in classes of five and seven. Well done again, Angela.
My great news is that I have another Japanese Chin dog called Sangria Top Gear (Rolli). It is all thanks to Jane Best who ‘sourced’ Mrs. Jane Thomas’s website (Javalcy) which led to Rolli coming into my household a few weeks ago. He has settled down well and I’m sure the cats haven’t noticed the difference between him and Suki. Thanks Jane – you are a true friend.
