More than 200 furry friends from as far away as Texas claimed new territorial rights at the Veterans' Memorial Ice Rink in Cranston. Taking six center rings were Persians, Siamese, Himalayans, Maine Coons, Birmans, British Shorthairs, Burmese, Rex, Oriental and Exotic Shorthairs, Scottish Folds, Abyssinians and last, but not least, Household Pets. With a twinkle in her eye, show manager Roberta Achtermeier humorously tabbed the event a 12-ring circus, explaining that judging takes place twice in six rings over the two-day competition . .Except for a few meows here and a few meows there and a wide-eyed escapee from a cage, who was 9uickly detained, all was calm and controlled. Orea Starbuck of Somerville, Mass., holds Django. a Chartreux shorthair kitten, which is a very rare French breed dating back 500-600 years. Chartreux have been mentioned in natural histories from the 15th century, said Orea. "There's probably 800 of them in the world. He had no competition. He's the only one. He's always the only one because there are no breeders in this area. He came from South Carolina." Django won 8th best kitten on Saturday, and on Sunday he won 8th and 10th Best at two different rings. Judge Bob Stamatis carefully studies the profile of this kitten. Feather is all tuckered out after winning the top ribbon in the Household Pets judging. He belongs to a very happy Michaline llinicky of Deerfield, Mass. Bill Bigelow of Ledyard, Connecticut, bestows a buss upon his ten-month-old black Persian, Abracadabra whose credentials are a Best Champion Win and 7th Best Cat in one of the rings. ~ .., Michael Cotrell wails patiently for his Abyssinian to be A shorth;1ir Penian, Liza is a muter champion, Her owner, Shirley Ord of «._~ judged.
