Shows Attending:
We will be at the next TICA show in Arcadia on June 11-12. We will be showing Savannah and Curl Essence A Dream Like This, or "Dreamer". Dreamer is a chocolate lynx point boy.
Grand Champion Savannah...
We took Savannah to both the the July TICA show in Arcadia and the CFA show in CFA. She was awarded enough points at the TICA show to be awarded a Grand Champion title ...all in one show. That's huge. She was Best of Breed in every ring at the CFA show in August, but didn't final in any ring. However, it was a big show. We had new photos taken of Savannah which I will upload as soon as I can convert them to the right format.
GLENDALE SHOW RESULTS: Well, Savannah was a real 'piss-ant' when we groomed her! OMG! You would think she had never been groomed before! She was so mad at us after we finished on Friday, the day before the show, that we just put her in a cage to settle down until it was time to leave Saturday morning. There were 66 Champions at the show, 94 including the Grands with A LOT of Persians, Exotics, etc. so we didn't have high hopes for finals. Especially with the attitude she gave us the day before. But boy did she surprise us. As soon as we got her into her show cage, she was "all in". She perked up and acted like she knew this was going to be a really fun day. She didn't get any finals. But she definitely showed herself off well for the judges. Who knew! With the attitude she gave us on Friday, we weren't even sure we would be able to put her on a judge table.

Curl Essence A Dream Like This... or "Dreamer"
Dreamer is a chocolate lynx point boy. This will be his first TICA show. We've been waiting and watching for a color point male to add to our breeding program. We've finally completed our search. Dreamer will be showing in kitten class for the June 11-12 TICA show at 7&1/2mo of age. We plan to show him in both TICA and CFA . We have high expectation for him in both associations.
I'll take a quick photo of Dreamer this afternoon to post here until we can get Chanan to take a professional photo of him.

Curl Essence Simone...
Simone is a silver patched girl. We currently have her available on our Kittens for Sale page, but depending on how she does at the shows, we may decide to grand her before we sell her. Simone will be just 4&1/2mo old at this TICA show. Typically, the more mature, older kittens are used in judges' finals, but I won't be surprised if Simone breaks that mold. Per the Curl Standard, Simone is about as perfect as you can get. Plus, the judges always like the outgoing, playful cats and Simone has that in spades. She's going to be really fun to watch at her first show.
We also going to be taking new photos and videos of Simone this afternoon. So watch for those here and on the Kittens for Sale page.

Curl Essence Phinneas... Phinneas did it again!I'm waiting for a new photo of Karen and Phineas with his awards from the TICA show in Tennessee last weekend on 10/30-31. This was a much bigger show, Karen and judges were glad to see that Phineas was back to his old self, playing with the ribbons on the cages and climbing the rope posts on the judges' tables. Phineas is now Champion Curl Essence Phineas McCurl.
Here's some of the judge's comments..."Practically perfect" and loved his body He also took 1st place from Jamie Christian and late another 10th place. We are exceptionally proud of 2 new exhibitors showing our little red and white tabby boy they named Curl Essence Phinneas (He was called Timmy on our website). Phinn is just 4 months old and went to his first show in Indiana last weekend. Check out the ribbon and finals. Each little tab is a final for a different ring.
Here are some of the comments from judges: "Phinneas was a perfect example of a Curl",
"Everything a Curl should be"', "He will be great when he grows up!" Kudos... |
We couldn't be prouder and it's really great to have one of our Curl showing in a region that doesn't see many Curls. When we sell a kitten that will be put in the show halls, we try to send out best. In this case, we even asked Grace Ruga (founder of the breed) to come over to our home and evaluate several potential kittens.... this was Grace's first choice. So big thanks to Grace for picking this kitten and to Karen and Tom for showing him.
Showing in Canada |
Both GC Curl Essence Sunny of Curlfolie and CH Curl Essence Lexie of Curlfolie are currently showing in Canada in a Canadian cat registry. The Canadian shows are much harder to get to because they are so far apart... So, big Kudos to Kathleen for showing these two pretty kids.

These two photos are of Lexie. Lexie is seal torti point. The bottom 2 are Sunny. Sunny is red tabby.
If you have any interest in showing your kitten at a show, please let us know. We will make sure you have a kitten that will not only fit into your family like a well worn glove, but one that you can have fun showing with your family.
Showing cats at cat shows is a great way for the family to bond and a great hobby for the kids. Let us help you get started if you are interested in sticking your toe in the water. Judges love to see newbies at the shows, and the especially love seeing Curls at the shows. We are always hearing from judges that they would like to see more Curls in the show halls.
