Hi! I am new to this site! I have had cats all my life...just recently lost my last "kitten" (16 years old) and have just gotten a new kitten...my first in as many years! She is a beautiful DSH white and red tabby with copper eyes, 3 months old, already spayed tested feleuk and FIV negative; I got her from a local rescue organization who did a super job socializing her whole litter! They were born in a rescue situation, so they've never known the streets. She is a wonderful, outgoing, very healthy, friendly and sweet kitten! That along with her beauty inspire me, after all these years, to give showing a try! I have been showing dogs for ten years; wow, cat showing is something altogether different! How neat that you can "show" regular DSH kitties, non-pedigreed kitties to titles of their own! I love it. I really hardly know where to begin, but I have perused all the usual registry sites..namely TICA, ACFA and CFA. There sure don't seem to be AS MANY cat shows as dog shows and I may be sadly limited to only 1-2 shows a year! I'd love to learn all about it here. Look forward to participating!
