On Sunday Kharn-Ka Your Choice became World Winner 2016 (Group IV, Male) at the FIFe World Show in Vienna. Few cats ever reach the WW title, but this great looking, ruddy Somali deserves it. Many congrats to breeder Jaana Heikanen of the Kharn-Ka cattery in Finland, whom we have had the pleasure of meeting on earlier occasions. 'Choice' by the way is the nephew to our Caithlin - his father is her litter mate Dushara Danu... :) WW16 Kharn-Ka Your Choice (Somali) The pictures in the collage are screen caps from the Live streaming by www.kkoe.net . In case the copyright holder complains, I will of course remove them.

Yesterday Caithlin and Rags had a sunny Sunday lunch at the outdoor restaurant. Dress code: 'Ruddy ticked'... Dushara Cathal Caithlin & Dushara Tatters and Rags (Somalis), 30.10.2016. Olympus OMD EM5 Digital Camera. Photo by Lene Raarup.

Caithlin's favourite toy is the rustle tunnel where she can lie in ambush and jump at unsuspecting passers-by... For the " Happy Caturday " group. p.s. We don't celebrate Halloween, so this is the closest I'll get to shooting anything looking a bit like a pumpkin... ;) Dushara Tatters and Rags & Dushara Cathal Caithlin (Somalis), 26.10.2016.

5 years ago, on September 21st 2011, Rags moved in with us. He adjusted perfectly and soon got accepted by the two old ladies, Milly and Snow White. He has become a natural center in our little flock, done very well at the cat shows - and become my very best cat friend. :) Dushara Tatters and Rags (Somali), 21.10.2011 Olympus E-400 Digital Camera

5 years ago, on September 21st 2011, Rags moved in with us. In Milly's bed he got his first smell of the two ladies he would soon be sharing the house with - and naturally it triggered a flehmen response ... ;) Dushara Tatters and Rags (Somali), 21.10.2011 Olympus E-400 Digital Camera

5 years ago, on September 21st 2011, Rags moved in with us. Rags' breeder Teresa Guldager had recommended Rags as the right cat for integrating into our little flock - and she was absolutely right. :) Dushara Tatters and Rags (Somali), 21.10.2011 Olympus E-400 Digital Camera

Although Caithlin is a "petite" cat, the boys respect her... Posted for the " Happy Caturday " group theme "Blanket on the floor". Dushara Cathal Caithlin (Somali) & Bastian (mixed breed), 11.09.2016. Olympus OMD EM5 Digital Camera
