FAMOUS AND INFAMOUS AUSSIE MISTS THAT I HAVE KNOWN.
BRONSON, the famous
WHISKAS
character, created a reputation for Aussie Mists to which they have
continued
to try to aspire ........
Known by his breeder as Nintu Featherbed
(he was a member of a 'motor cycle' litter), his television antics are
still remembered today, long after the ads have left the small screen.
Indubitably one of our truly great ambassadors.
Gold Db Gd Ch, Gd Ch ( ACT) Nintu Family Idol was just that.
As cuddly and loving as he looks, this
superb
gentleman gave me the greatest thrill at the 1999 St George Cat Club
Show,
when he won Best Group 3 Male cat in one ring, then was selected for
the
top 10 out of all adults in all groups and rings - he came in seventh,
defeating at least 150 other entries.
Best of all, he loved every minute of it,
and wanted to cuddle each of the judges, making it very hard to display
his beauty at the final presentation to the Supreme Judge.
Best
Cat in one ring at the 1999
Illawarra
Pedigree Cat Fancy Show
At the 2001 CCCA Show he managed
another
triumph - Runner Up Group 3 Exhibit in one ring ....
and long after his showing days were done, I realised that he was
entitled to another title, because he had attended 3 (in fact 4) CCCA
National Shows ..... so he is really
National Show Champion Gold Db

Gd Ch ( ACT) Nintu Family Idol
