Happy Fathers Day to My Dad!

I bet you would like to meet my dad! Here he is:

His name is Aslan, or as he is more professionally known, GC, RW Riemarkable Aslan of Tajhara. He is a Grand Champion, and a Regional Winner from the 2011-2012 show season. He got fifth place that year!

Can you tell I’m his daughter?

He was more dignified in the show rings than I am, though!

I just sort of stand up there and try to look cute!

Dad is from Australian and European strains of Somalis, and he came to live with my breeder because she likes to bring in cats with lines that aren’t related to her lines — it’s healthier for the kittens that way. He and my mom, Bluesette, have exceptionally well-tempered kittens. My human met an older sister of mine a couple of years ago, Samaraa, and wanted a kitten as sweet and easy going as her. She had to wait until last year when I came around!

I’ve had to work really hard to measure up to my dad! In fact, Sparkle and I both had to — her father was on the cover of Cat Fancy, twice!

Happy Fathers Day to my dad! I’m glad he set such high standards — otherwise I might not have realized what I was capable of accomplishing!
