November 2025: Butter Takes on the West Coast
In November, I packed up my suitcase—and Butter—and flew out to California for three weeks to visit family in Sacramento and hit a string of CFA shows on the West Coast. Butter, known in the ring as Purrtopia Creme De La Creme, was entered in three shows: the Lucky Penny Cat show in Ventura, the Glacier Peak Cat Club show in Portland, and the Poinsettia Cat Club show in Glendale.
While we were out there, Butter had the chance to be photographed by Richard Katris of the world-famous Chanan Photography, and the portraits turned out absolutely stunning.
Butter enjoyed every show we attended, and by the end of our trip he was a total pro—confident, relaxed, and showing beautifully. Butter’s hard work paid off: he earned enough points to achieve his Grand Champion title at the Poinsettia show in Glendale! I was thrilled to be able to celebrate this accomplishment for both his breeder, Lisa Thostenson, and myself. Lisa and I are so excited to see what his future offspring will bring to our programs.
In the meantime, Butter will continue showing in CFA from January through April, and we’ll see where this show season takes him next!
