But most importantly, he makes us laugh!! All the time!! ANCATS Diamond Db Gd Ch ANCATS Diamond National Db Gd Templeton Tutti Frutti (aka Princess Alice) We were so lucky to have this princess come to join our little family. We are proud to have benched Alice in 2011 as she was the first bi colour Balinese ever to be shown in Australia. And what a year she had! So many Best in Shows, Reserve Supremes and Supreme Exhibits I lost count. She is a delight on the bench, such a dainty little ballerina. She seduces the judges with her amazingly beautiful eyes. Her end of year results that year were amazing and she was only pipped at the post by Honky Tonk. 2011 2011 2011 2011 ANCATS ANCATS ANCATS ANCATS Balinese of the Year Entire Kitten of the Year Third Entire Cat of the Year Reserve Group 2 She has been off the bench as she was supposed to have babies but unfortunately decided she really didn’t like boys and had been desexed and lives the life of a princess with her Mum. She developed cysts on her belly last year and so wasn’t shown, but they have disappeared and this year she will be coming out of retirement to have some fun on the bench.

I met him at 10 weeks old and he came to live with me at 6 months due to being a monorchid, bad luck for the breed but such good luck for me. He was the ultimate show cat, a supreme gentleman on the bench. In his 9 1/2 years on the bench he had won many BIS and Supreme Exhibits under both local and overseas judges. He loved going to shows and got so excited when he had his bath. He even presented his paws for nail clipping. He was also my daughters first cat to present for Junior Handlers when she was only 5 and could barely see over the top of him. At her first show she had to climb into the crate to bring him out! I feel so lucky to have shared my life with him and he made showing such a pleasure. He will always be a superstar in my eyes. He is my inspiration and every Balinese I breed I hope lives up to Coco’s standards! Jen Rogers SmudgeWillow Balinese & Oriental Longhairs Australia Honky at 10 weeks at his first show.
