So, this last weekend, my friend took me with her to her lilac-point Siamese cat's show in Colorado Springs. =) We were both excited, because her cat, Lily, was 8 points away from becoming a Grand Premiere. IN the third ring we were in, she made the Final, and even got best Shorthair Premiere, giving her 13 points, five points more thasn she needed. =D
I was unable to go to the show on the second day, due to a family crisis, but my friend ran up to me on Monday, at school, and whipped out her camera, showing me pictures. One picture was of Lily with a 10th best cat ribbon; another was her with a 9th best....then, finally, a picture of her in the show ring, with a...3rd best ribbon! Amazing, truly it is. This cat, before she was a Grand, never got more than best Premiere, ever.
Very exciting for us. My friend -was- planning on retiring Lily after she Granded, but since she did so well, and behaved so well on the second day, we're going to show her again, with my friend's new choclate-point Siamese kitten, in two weeks, in Denver.
