ZSAMI's AWARDS PAGE

Typhast Zsami began his show career at the tender age of just seventeen weeks and took to it straight away. His very first show was also Ziggi's retirement show,

and I feel sure that little Zsami will be an admirable successor to my wonderful Ziggi who has been a great Ambassador for the Bengal breed over the years.

I look forward to showing this lovely chap and I feel sure that he will produce some great results during his show career!

BENGAL CAT CLUB

HELD IN NEWBURY ON 24TH JULY 2010

1ST OPEN and BEST OF BREED

Zsami had a fabulous day at his Bengal Cat Club show debut, coming 1st in his Open class and going on to be awarded Best of Breed. A huge thank you to judge Mrs. Harper for thinking so highly of him. He did very well in his side classes being awarded 1st in a very large class in the BCC club members class and winning 3 x 2nd places in his other classes.

His sister Typhast Zeenna was unfortunately absent so we were unable to compete in the prestigious Prefix Brace. A shame as I was really looking forward to seeing his sister.

As usual Zsami was the perfect travel companion and settled down without a sound both there and back. On Friday night we stayed in a hotel and it was his first night away and he thought it great fun and behaved beautifully.

It was lovely to see both old and new friends and always nice to see those cats and kittens in the flesh that I had only previously seen on websites or in results. Rosie and Barrie, Zsami's breeders were there, and they were obviously very proud of how their little bay has turned out - he is a real credit to them.

Congratulations go to Mrs Bunyan who was this years winner of my very own Bengie Memorial Cup. Zsami was the other kitten in the running to win this but the very handsome Adecish Cheviot Charmer was the well deserved winner. His sire and dam are also from the Typhast cattery so I'm very pleased that it is in the family so to speak!

Once again, the show was organised superbly by Elaine and John Robinson, daughter Lisa and their very efficient Team Robinson. Thank you for a super show.

I celebrated Ziggi's retirement by officially announcing it with a full page in the show's catalogue and thanked the Judges for thinking so highly of him over the years with 80 show certificates to his name which included Merits, Provisional, Premier, Grand and Imperial certificates. This also included his Fife Certificates that made him up to International Premier and his Tica Champion Alter certificate. He is enjoying his retirement enormously and waits in anticipation for Zsami and I to return from shows as he knows there are always post show tuna treats on offer!!

As for me? Well, I won four prizes in the raffle.... two of which I had donated myself!! I also won a bottle of wine and something in a black box that said 'A Spell to Cure a Hangover' which I've no doubt will come in very handy!

BRISTOL & DISTRICT CAT CLUB

HELD IN THORNBURY ON 8TH MAY 2010

The Bristol and District CC show was Zsami’s second show and the competition in the kitten classes was very, very strong. I was absolutely delighted when Zsami was awarded first in his Open and he once again behaved superbly, purring, playing and interested in all the goings on around him. He had lots of admiration from both visitors and exhibitors and it was lovely to hear the wonderful comments. I was very proud of him! Here are a selection of photos taken of him in his pen.

KERNOW CAT CLUB

HELD IN PAIGNTON ON 5TH APRIL 2010

Zsami attended his very first show today and his entire day was just perfect. He purred and played and took everything in his stride like a real pro. When the time came for everyone to leave the hall for the judging to start I had no hesitation in relaxing in the knowledge that little Zsami would be the perfect little gentleman. He was by far the smallest amongst a very mature class of lovely kittens and he was placed 2^nd in his Open and also awarded a 2^nd and a 4^th in his side classes.
