He loved to play fetch and would come to the whistle and he would sit and wait for me every night waiting on his evening cuddle. At his very first show down in England I remember being stopped by a judge who asked me if I had seen the most stunning British Shorthair kitten that she had ever seen.
By the age of 22 months he had achieved his Grand Champion status, the highest that could be achieved at that time and he collected rosettes and certificates for fun. While he still won at that show, future shows became problematic especially if the judge smelled of perfume; male judges he was happy with. I still have memories of him and Nemie being walked on their leashes at a motorway service station on route to a show.

Yet, he was gentle with visiting queens, he would let them feed first until they had been with him for a few days but once the courting was over, first pickings were his. Most remarkable was his relationship with a visiting Robin that had found some way into his pen and would sit and eat from his food bowl. The bird visited often and not once did he chase it away.

As I close my eyes I can still hear his beautiful low rumbling call which will no doubt be reverberating across the Rainbow Bridge at this very moment. I am currently working on two books just now, both for children and, yes, you've guessed it, both have a cat or cats in the story.
I also lecture and have done so for over 20 years, therein lies another set of stories but not for now. Are you an author? Help us improve our Author Pages by updating your bibliography and submitting a new or current image and biography.
