Banshee's Winnings
Banshee visited the Midwestern CFA's Jolly Roger Feline show, and in each ring won best in breed, best color, and first place (which isn't hard when you're the only Turkish Angora kitten).  However, despite her bad behavior, she also was the 10th best kitten in the longhair division.
Return Home
Ahem...well...Banshee's second show didn't go so well.  After a long trip to Peoria, during which she pleaded to be out of her carrier and subsequently almost caused a huge car accident by turning on every accessory and light in my car, Banshee was not in the mood for a bath...and that's where it started.  I won that battle, but Banshee hissed her way through both days and sadly did not final.  I won't give up that easy, though.
Here she is, gleaming white in the hotel room, exhausted from a long day of hissing and biting...
Well, we tried.  And tried and tried and tried.  But sadly, Banshee learned how to get out of judges hands, and how to get me to stop showing her.  After not having ribbons hung in about three different shows, I decided that I had no choice but to retire the Banshee from her show career.

Alas, this is not the end of the story.  For the Banshee's triumphant return to the show hall, click
