THE SHOW CAT YEARS

Between the years of 1975 till around 1989 my husband and I bred and showed pedigreed cats. These were very exciting years to us and we enjoyed all aspects of breeding, raising and showing championship quality show cats in The American Cat Fanciers Association.

In the beginning we only had one seal point Himalayan cat, but over the years we became involved with raising and showing Persians and British Shorthairs as well. We even had one black Cornish Rex for a brief period, but were not as successful with him as we were with some of our other breeds.

We'd like to present some of our greatest cats on this page for your enjoyment. These beautiful cats have all passed over the Rainbow Bridge many years ago now, but they will remain forever in our hearts. The memories of them are vivid in our minds and to honor them one last time on our website is only fitting. We hope you enjoy this page devoted to "The Show Cat Years..."
