Claudia, the wonderful oh so elegant Claudia. Such a lady.
The
moment I saw her she took my breath away. It was such a long and
agonising wait. Coming from Norway and having to wait for the allotted
time before being allowed to enter the UK just seemed endless.
I
cant thank my friend Caroline enough for telling me about her (she has
the litter brother, also stunning)! We both went off to
Manchester that cold April morning to meet the flight and her breeder
Connie Garfalk - Offbeat Cats. At the animal reception centre
Claudia walked out of her carry basket as though it were an every day
occurrence and nuzzled up to me, my heart melted.
Connie
had been showing Claudia with Fife in Norway while she had her, and
during this time she was Best in show on the five occasions she was
shown, giving her the grand title of Junior Winner!
We
have shown her here with Felis Britannica (the UK arm of FIFE) and The
International Cat Association (TICA) as she isn't eligible to be shown
with GCCF. She is now a Champion with FIFE and needs only a further two
certificates to make her an International Champion. She was
invited to the Felis Britannica Winners Show at Rugby and went Best In
Show there also. She now stands top of Category IV for
2008. Claudia has also done amazingly well with TICA and has achieved
the very difficult achievement of becoming a Supreme Grand Champion!
Thank you so much Connie for our beautiful sweet natured Claudia.
