Like any serious breeder, we regularly show our cats (time and circumstances permitting). It is an opportunity to get our cats assessed by International
Judges (to see how our cats compare to the breed standard), and spend the day with like-minded people who share our hobby. We have shown successfully with the GCCF and FIFe in the past, but we now only show with TICA.
It is an added bonus if one of our cats is Finalled in a TICA show or then goes on to win a Best of the Best. It doesn't always happen, but it is exciting when it does. This page records some of our show successes.
We trail-blazed TICA in the UK, and had the first two UK-resident cats to earn TICA titles through attending the Northern Europe Regional Awards show in Ruesselsheim, Germany in October 2004.
They were swiftly followed by SGCA Woodycoon Red Butler, RW SGC Woodycoon Amenti and Ch Kititas Sirius of
Woodycoon who won titles at the first UK TICA show held in December 2004.
Here are some of our show successes:
