BEST GROOMED
1 ASHWORTH’S KISSY.
Gave this girl the first as she was the only cat with long hair in the class and it takes a lot of time and patience to groom a coat like this She is a semi longhair ragdoll lass with a dense coat, the white was sparkling, and the hairs of her soft silky coat were well separated. Lovely blue eyes, clear and bright.
2 BARKER’S EBONY.
As her name suggest a glossy black male only 14 weeks old and very friendly. It is hard to keep a black in show condition. They can go rusty if out in the sun too long. This lads well groomed coat was black to the roots and another mark in his favour his claws had been clipped. Well done.
