Legends of the Cat Fancy - Connie Stewart

Connie Stewart, and her WISHES cattery, were well-known by CFA exhibitors around the world. Connie had a flair for showing and grooming.  No matter where in the world she showed, her cats were always in excellent condition and presented impeccably in the judging rings.

Connie's achevements were many. There was rarely an annual awards banquet in the early years of this century when Connie wasn't on stage accepting an award for either a kitten or a cat .. oftentimes with multiple cats receiving awards.

Her specialty was white Persians. GC, BW, NW, Wishes Lyric was CFA's 2000-2001 Best Cat; GC, BW, NW Melosito’s White Owl was Best Cat in 2006-2007; followed by the 2007-2008 Best Cat, GC, BW, NW Sunny Ridge Polar Express of Wishes.

Although, she did venture out into Exotics and still achieved the same success - GC, BW, NW D'Eden Lover Pepito of Wishes was Best Cat in 2011-2012.

GC, BW, NW Belamy’s Desiderata of Cinema, a calico Persian, was shown by Connie to Best Cat in 2013-2014.

 Sadly, Connie passed away in December, 2015 and is missed by her many friends to this very day.
