see how we did. The 2016-2017 Show Season Breeding took priority over showing cats in 2015-2016 and the results were awesome! GC, RW Katsmith Humble and Kind (Otto) ended the season as CFA’s 2 highest scoring Colorpoint Shorthair kitten and CFA Southern Region’s 12th Best Kitten. In April Otto went to live in Maryland with Mary Kolencik; he granded quickly and will be shown as an adult in the 2017-2018 season. GP Katsmith Oh Solo Mio (Baby Solo II) went to show with Otto and was shown in the kitten class. Sadie, Jessy (Solo II’s mom) and Ava (Otto’s mother) had litters in 2016.

Cattery of Distinction"; with 22 Katsmith grands I was awarded with a Tier I title. 2013 was supposed to be all about Ava. GC, RW Katsmith Electric Avenue (Ava) granded at the Southern Regional show in June and we hit the road; unfortunately we only made it to 11 shows before she decided she would rather have babies. Her last show was December 1, 2012 and I just hoped she had enough points to achieve a Regional Win. When the season ended Ava was the Southern Region's 22nd Best Cat and CFA's 2nd highest scoring Colorpoint Shorthair. GC Katsmith What Ever Lola Wants (Lola) granded in November and GC Katsmith Bubba of SaShai (Bubba) granded in March; both cats were sired by GC Katsmith Dream On (Marco) which brings his DM countdown to 11.
