We took Brigette to her first TICA show as our cat this weekend, and she did very well. She made two “finals” on Friday and another two on Saturday, which in TICA’s system gives her enough points to earn her first title of Champion. (In fact, she has enough points that she only needs two additional finals to make Grand Champion.) Her sister, Bleujeanne Baby Queen (Bebe for short, and yes, the name is intentional) remains with the breeder from whom we acquired our little bundle of fluff, and she also took three finals over the first two days, including a first in one ring. She’s been shown more than her sister and it shows; Brigette is a little unsure whether she likes this whole show thing, whereas Bebe is more content to be carted from cage to ring and back. So far, that litter seems to have worked out pretty well, we all agree. Bebe will be back tomorrow, whereas we elected to only show Brigette Friday and Saturday.
The show season is winding down, so there aren’t too many chances to collect more points anytime soon, but based on the judging reactions and the fact that she competed well in a show featuring a higher-than-average number of top cats, she has a bright future in TICA. Hopefully that will translate to CFA as well.
