Abyssinian Cat Association Show April 2011



Star's first show (Pen 19) and she was up against strong competition in the largest Open class in the show. She won a 1st, a 2nd, a 3rd and a 4th, which at least meant a good range of colours for her rosettes. Glendavan Kookaburra won the Usual female kitten class and went on to be considered for Best in Show. Star behaved very well and was happy to be carried around seeing the other people and cats, but was judged not to have a warm enough base colour yet. (It's developing). Hattie (Pen 5) did very well indeed, despite being next door to a restless male cat, which she found distracting. She got her first Champion Certificate, and got two other Firsts and a 2nd.

Judge Mrs L Ashmore's comments on Hattie:

USUAL ABY ADULT FEMALE
1 CC
............. WAVETAIL HATTIE
Pleasing type with nicely rounded muzzle. Expressive eyes and well placed ears of good size. Good body, limbs and tail. Coat fairly short and close lying but with some resiliance. Paler colouring but showing nice clear ticking. Some pale fur on chin. Some slightly dark roots at the back of her neck. Sweet girl who handled well.
