Shows
We only show for fun and only if the cats seem content to be shown.
Isis produced twelve kittens over three litters. Of those seven have been shown and six have won their Open classes. The one which did not win an Open class came second to her brother Jovi, the silver boy we kept.

Jandebo Isis
Foundation Queen and mother to both our show
kittens.
Our very grateful thanks go to Isis breeder Jacqueline
Ryan for not only allowing us to have Isis but for all
her help and encouragement.
Jandebo Isis was shown successfully during her first
eighteen months of life. She was the winner of seven
merits and was one of the cats who helped the breed to
achieve intermediate status with GCCF. She was often
placed in her side classes. Her most noticeable
achievement was first place in a side class of 11. These
are some of the comments made about Jandebo Isis by her
judges.
"A very lively and vocal kitten with a lot to say for herself. Lovely condition and easy to handle. A typical Mau baby with good type and pattern."
"A very pretty confident kitten. A sweet Mau who was an excellent ambassador for the breed as I was speaking to the public"
"Beautiful coat pattern, clear M and scarab mascara line good,... Promising young lady, a pleasure to judge."
"Composed, feminine girl.... clear facial markings, broken necklace, very good definition."
"Well grown and very stylish. Very good profile, good length coat, clear silver base and very good spotting. Very good temperament and a pleasure to judge."
