I can never believe how quickly this show comes around each year!! An amazing day for all of our cats. Our very special IMP GR PR Coontastic Rafaella became a UK GRAND today, she looked so beautiful, we are really proud of her.

Raffy is the only Maine Coon female adult to hold this title so a real achievement. Our lovely boy Ishcus James Bond won his first Grand Certificate today and then went on to beat Raffy for Best of Breed!

Raffy daughter GR CH Coontastic Lammtarra won her first UK certificate and then she to went on to beat the boys by winning Best of Breed. Then of course she had to compete against all the other Best of Breed winners in the SLH section including James! We were absolutely over the moon when she was picked as BEST OF VARIETY SLH adult. She went up on stage and looked every inch the star.

Also showing was Coontastic Eduardo, Lammtarra's son! He to won his kitten open and went on to become BEST OF BREED silver series kitten. Many congrats to his proud owner Sue WIlkinson.

The lovely IMP GR PR Coontastic Nijinsky won his first UK certificate and he too won BEST OF BREED. Huge congratulations to Jill and Stephen Bunce.

What a brilliant day! Not one we will forget in a hurry!!

Today was another outing for the boys! Luigi and James both had a wonderful day. James won yet another CC making him unbeaten to date! Luigi won another Imperial, his CC and Best of Breed. Both spent the day being admired and fussed over much to their delight!

At his first show today was COONTASTIC EDUARDO with his new owner Sue Wilkinson. Eddie has a lot to live up to as Sue also owns COONTASTIC XAVIER who was Supreme kitten in 2005. Obviously Sue can pick a good kitten as 'Eddie' had a great day winning 1st in his kitten open class and Best of Breed!!

Thank you Sue for showing Eddie so well.

It's a couple of years since we did this show but we are very glad we returned this year! We took Madellena for her last kitten show and not only did she have a red card day winning all her classes she went on to be BEST IN SHOW SLH Kitten.

The winning didn't stop there either! We took James as well and he won his 3rd CC becoming a Champion and then he went on to become BEST IN SHOW SLH Adult. This is even more of an achievement as traditionally solid colour Maine Coons don't tend to do as well as the Tabbies.

Also attending was GR PR COONTASTIC THE MINSTREL owned by Jill and Stephen Bunce. He had a fantastic day winning his 5th Imperial Certificate therefore earning the title of Imperial Grand Premier. He went on to win BEST IN SHOW SLH Neuter and then OVERALL BEST IN SHOW SLH.
Many congratulations to Minstrel and Jill and Stephen.

This was our third outing to TICA. At least we know a little more about what we are supposed to be doing!! We took Luigi who did very well by becoming a GRAND CHAMPION. But the star of the show was GR PR COONTASTIC DANCING BRAVE who at only his 2nd TICA show became a QUADRUPLE GRAND CHAMPION ALTER.

All he now needs is a best cat final at his next show to win his SUPREME title.
An amazing feat, well done Wolfie!

The year goes by so quickly, I can't believe the Breed show has come around so quickly again! This year we took just the two big boys. LUIGI made a rare appearance and didn't dissappoint his fans. He won the Imperial, the Grand, Best of Breed and all his side classes! It was the first time we had taken JAMES to a show and he was in a huge class of boys. We were so thrilled when he won and got Best of Breed. A massive thank you to his breeder Sharon Saville!

Congratulations must go to the lovely GR PR COONTASTIC DANCING BRAVE as he won his Imperial Class and Best of Breed. Well done to his proud owner Carolyn Fleming.

A huge well done to the lovely IMP GR PR COONTASTIC NIJINSKY on another Imperial certificate and a red card day as well!

This was a really exciting day as we picked up our new stud boy ISHCUS JAMES BOND. A stunning solid black and white from our good friend Sharon Saville, Ishcus Maine Coons in Ireland.

James had a brilliant day at the show winning his first Challenge Certificate and Best of Breed. All of his judges were very impressed with him and he was such a showman! He has stolen our hearts already and we love him to bits. Thank you Sharon!

Coontastic Madellena was also on top form winning yet another open class and best of breed, she is turning into a very beautiful girl.

Big congratulations go to Jill and Stephen Bunce with GR PR Coontastic The Minstrel who won his 4th Imperial certificate today and also Best of Breed. Only one more to go!

A lovely day with some beautiful cats, what more could you ask for!

What a lovely sunny day we had for this show. I took COONTASTIC CHRISTIANA and her sister MADELLENA and this time Christy turned the tables on her sister by winning their open class, Best of Breed and going on to be Best in Show SLH kitten!

This kitten is growing like mad and still has the most amazing coat I have ever had on a kitten. Well done to our lovely Christy. Massive congratulations must also go to the very handsome IMPERIAL GRAND PREMIER COONTASTIC NIJINSKY.

Today he won his Imperial Certificate, Best of Breed, Best in Show SLH Neuter and OVERALL BEST SLH in show. Jinsky lookd gorgeous as ever and it was certainly a triumphant return to the show bench.

Well done to his proud owners Jill and Stephen Bunce and thank you once again for showing him so beautifully.

This is only the second TICA show we have been to and I stil find it a bit confusing. Luigi and Christiana were there on the Saturday and Luigi finalled twice and became a TICA CHAMPION.

Christy became best kitten in one ring! Also on the Saturday Coontastic Dancing Brave was their and had a brilliant day! He finalled in 4 rings being best alter in one ring! At the end of the day he was a TICA DOUBLE GRAND CHAMPION ALTER. A massive well done to Wolfie and Carolyn.

On the Sunday myself and my son Edward took Coontastic Don Giovanni and Coontastic Madellena. Donny has been to one TICA show prior to this and was already a TICA CHAMPION ALTER but did so well finalling in 3 rings and becoming a DOUBLE GRAND CHAMPION ALTER. Maddy finalled in 3 rings as well and looked beautiful all day.

I think we will return to TICA in the not too distant future!

Today saw the debut of our very pretty COONTASTIC MADELLENA and her sister COONTASTIC CHRISTIANA. At 14 weeks old this was their first time at a show and they behaved wonderfully.Unfortunately they had to be in the same class and Maddy took the honours with Christy coming 2nd to her.

All day they competed against each other with the judges finding it very difficult to decide between them! At the end of the day we were thrilled when Maddy became BEST IN SHOW SLH kitten beating a lot of much older kittens in the process. Well done Maddy!

Araminta was also showing and gained her 3rd Imperial certificate. keep it up Minty - 2 more to go! GR PR Coontastic The Mistrel was also there and won his 2nd Imperial certificate and Best of Breed.

Well done to him and his proud mum and dad Jill and Stephen Bunce.
