This is Oash, a stray we took into our household in Oct. 1998. He went to a show on March 28-30, 2008 just for fun, and earned his master title.

Meet RW SGM Ursa Corynne of Starkittie.  She wasn't breeding material, but has a great personaity. She has been going to cat shows as a household pet and doing very well.  She was 11th best in the great lakes region, so earned her regional win for the 2007-2008 show season. She also has her agility champion title, and will be featured on the Purina and GLACE websites soon.  The filming was done on Oct. 19.

It's so much fun to play with all the kittens as they are growing up.

This is Astro, one of Andie and Cosmo's kittens.  He went to the regional show and did very well.  He now lives with one of Tailer's kittens in Columbus, 

Julie likes playing with the cats while home on school breaks.

Every kitten wants to be in the picture.

Even the babies run on the wheel in the cat playroom, while mother Tina looks on.

Everyone (Allen, Salem, Haley, Myah, Andie, Ursa, Cassi, and Sasha) get in on the play time.

I'm not sure where the cats think I should sleep.  It looks like this every night when I go to bed.  On the bed are Clipsee, Allen, Tina, Tailer, Oash, Lacie, Haley, Luna, Faye, Salem, Musca, and Odee.  Ursa is on the night stand.

Ringo is totally worn out on the last day of the cat show.
