The last time I met Kathy was in Three-River Art Festival. Her Siamese cats drawing is so vivid,
almost surgeon-like precise.

She told me that she was a breeder for Siamese and Oriental Shorthair and one of her cats was
honored the second best in the "WORLD".

I met her again in the anuual Western Pennsylvania Cat show where her cats were to once again
conquer judges and cat lovers. She was nervous when her kitty was held by one of the judges, but after the competition, she held him tall and proud.

"Maybe they wish they don't win, then they won't come back again!" Mary, one of the Birman cats breeder commented satirically.

There will be only one cat that will be honored as the best, yet in every breeder's mind, theirs are irreplaceble.

"Sorry, I think the kitty blocked your face", I told her the photo result.

"Oh, that doesn't matter!" She waved away and carefully carried the kitty back to the warm bag.
