As a teenager I owned a beautiful Black n White Longhair Cat and I always wanted to show him after visiting a local cat show. Sadly it took many more years before I started to show cats and I haven't stopped since. I have spent the last 20 years loving showing my cats, and claiming some major wins with them. Was honoured to show an ebony oriental shorthair neuter Robandi The Palmy Panther who won twice NZCF National Show Best in Show SH Neuter Spay Cat titles, NZCF National Show Supreme Shorthair Cat, 2 x NZCF Shorthair Neuter Spay Awards. Over the years I have shown several beautiful breeds, Somali, Birmans, Maine Coon, Siamese, Balinese, Oriental Shorthair, Domestic, Coated Sphynx and recently a Toyger.

Needing a new challenge and not wanting to leave the cat showing world (breeding not for me at this stage) the next step was to start training as a judge. As a judge I believe each time will be a wonderful experience and am wanting to learn about the lovely cat breeds we have.

In my personal life I am a trained veterinary nurse, currently working at the Massey University Equine Veterinary Clinic as an Administrator. Of course I am owned by my cats, 2 Siamese, Oriental, Coated Spyhnx and a Toyger. I am also involved in the world of miniature horses and love showing them. Weekends of no shows you can find me on the croquet green, gardening or entertainment my many nephews or nieces.
