2010 BEST Brown (Black) Classic Torbie and White NW Region: TICA Double Grand Champion Templeparlor Madame Butterfly

“Josephine” is pictured at 3 weeks with her devoted Dam, Champion Vita Nova Marie Antoinette. Josephine is my only girl from Marie Antoinette who has produced many handsome boys.  I’ve been practicing my Persian grooming…believe me… it is not for the faint of heart. How to get the effect without all the toxic chemical?  This is the big challenge of grooming the Persian, the concept of “green” as a concept has not made it into the cat world yet.  The Cat Show People use goop, which is full of petroleum chemicals!
Personally… I like my cats chemical free!!

At left, Josephine is pictured here at 5 months at the TICA annual in California, September of 2010 winning Best Persian kitten in heavy competition, then finaling 3rd best kitten, judge Laurie Schiff, the kitten count was 107.

A few weeks later at the TICA Tukwilla Show 2010, Josie was Best All Breed kitten under judges; Pam Barrett & Best All Breed kitten Elaine Hawksworth-Weitz.  4th Best Specialty (Longhair kitten) under Judge: Pam Barrett, thanks to all the wonderful judges for seeing her special qualities, I think she is so beautiful inside and out.

My Josie is super mellow around the house and will let me hold her all day long… if I have the time, such a dolly!  Josie is the daughter of SGC Vita Nova Ceaser of Templeparlor and CH Vita Nova Marie Antoinette.

Josie began her adult show career at the Portland, OR Show January 2011, TNCC where Josie finaled: 4th Best Cat Judge: Wendy Klamm, 5th Best Specialty  longhair cat, Judge:  Monika Dany, 6th Best Cat Nancy Parkinson, 10th Best Cat judge: Ellen Crockett!

Josie then completed her Grand Championship at the Ferndale, WA Show, she finaled Best all Breed Cat Judge:  Theresa Kempton, 5th Best all Breed Cat, Judge Kim Tomlin, 7th Best all Breed, Judge Francine Hicks, 5th Best Female Congress Donna Madison.
