As the only Himmie in the show, June had a big responsibility. And she did rise to the challenge earning Best Colorpoint Persian, Best Longhair Kitten and Best Longhair in Show.
June was then in competition for Best of the Best, where she finished 2nd behind a Birman. The judge wrote that June was a "super cat" and she received "Excellent" in all qualities, quite an accomplishment for a four-month-old kitten. Graham proudly accepts June's awards. |
