February fifth the US East cost was once again hit with a Noreaster as they call it, this one dropping up to twenty four inches of the priceless stuff Vancouver Winter Olympic desperately need.
Airports, highways and by-ways all blanketed with the whitest fluffiest snow ever, officials ordering folks to stay home unless in case of an emergency.
Grocery stores ran out milk and bread, snow shovels became rare commodity.
Turns out it wasn't enough to prevent TICA's dedicated members and cat fanciers to get together and proudly display the cats, enjoy a friendly competition and talk feline to cat lovers young and old.
Against all odds we all met at the Riverside Inn, where the atmosphere was warm and cosy, meows and purrs were the norm, while big white flakes drifted silently to the ground.
Tecumseh or T'Boy as we call him along with our beautiful Bijou were excited to be part of the show. Bijou, who just came along for the ride surprisingly took most of the awards. T'Boy's physique for his young age made on impression on the public,while Bijou's charm won the hearts of the judges.
Bijou and TBoy greatly enjoyed the traveling accommodations, they spent the whole night at our feet on the big bed.
We had a great time traveling down to Pennsylvania, always a wonderful trip, our Bijou successfully accumulated the required amount of points required for her Quadruple Grand Champion title. We are very proud of our babies' achievements, it is always a pleasure to show and introduce the breed to the public in general, who still knows little of this breed.

2901 Key Street
Maumee (Toledo), OH 43537
Come meet Tecumseh and Bijou in person.

A new year has arrived, may it bring health, prosperity, and happiness to all!
Before the Holidays, Boreal Cattery received many wonderful Christmas cards from adoptive families, a wonderful sweet gesture. We are very happy to keep in touch with so many kind loving people. We are also very impressed by the amount of letters from home we receive on a regular basis. It is wonderful to look at the photos and see how the "kids" are growing up. We now have adopted cats that are turning four years old, just getting into the prime of their lives.
After receiving such positive response from the kittens new homes, we cannot but, feel proud and happy to have contributed to happiness of so many families. When a little girl tell you, while she is holding her new kitten that "this is the best day of her life" is very touching indeed. It is always a pleasure to meet the new adopting families and to keep in contact for years after. We have made many new friends.
Good Bless and have a happy new year.

Livonia, Michigan (Detroit) November 21 and 22 was once again the place to be for cat fanciers.
The International Cat Association held another successful TICA cat show attended by the highest quality of felines on the continent, 21 different breeds were represented and Boreal Cattery was proud to be part of the event.
Tecumseh our five month old male and Bijou our 11 month old girl really made us proud. We couldn't ask for any more, they both conducted themselves as if show business was in their royal blood.
Tecumseh received nine finals out of a possible fourteen and was the 3rd Best All Breed kitten in the show. Bijou claimed four finals propelling her well into her triple Grand Champion title. Many judges saw in Tecumseh the same quality his dad displayed during his show career, beautiful round eyes, thick lush coat and charm that just doesn't quit. Most agreed this boy has potential to be an international winner.

This is our second cat show since Bloke retirement last show season. Going to Montreal was a thought in Natalie's mind long before I ever heard the words "Pack up the cats, we are going to Montreal".
Natalie's master plan soon came to light during our six hour drive to Montreal.

The first ever TICA Cat Show in Ontario took place in Hamilton, September 11-12-13, 2009. Click here to enjoy the photos!
Coops Coliseum was the focal point for the event, every one enjoyed the show and had a good time in the Steel City. We keep our fingers are crossed for a second show next year.
Bazyia, our three year old female, and Bijou a ten month old female bravely entered the competition. Both girls acted as if they have been doing this their whole lives. They strutted their stuff on the judges tables and charmed most of the them with their friendliness.
