Grand Champion Imzadi's Sidewinder also competed in the Kitten Class at the Chicago International becoming Best Somali Kitten in Show. For the show season 1995-1996 he was Second Best Somali Kitten scoring just below his "Cousin" Chakotay. Sidewinder was The International Somali Cat Clubs Best Kitten and Second Best Cat in Championship for 1995-1996 as well as The Somali Cat Club of America's Kitten of the Year.

At Sidewinders first show as a Champion he earned 198 points missing being a one show Grand by 2 points. Sidey is extremely affectionate. He especially loves to stand up, put his paws around my shoulders and lick my face repeatedly while giving me hugs.
