2008 CFA-Iams Cat Championships Results
October 24th, 2008 | 
Author: Platina Luna Blade Runner, an eighteen month old male Russian Blue, with a shimmering blue-gray coat and emerald green eyes triumphed over 248 other cats in 41 breeds to become the first Russian Blue cat to win the Cat Fanciers’ Association title of Best Of The Best.
Runner, with owners Teresa Keiger and Rob Miller.
Runner, from Greensboro, North Carolina, was named Best-in-Show at the CFA-Iams Cat Championship held at Madison Square Garden in New York on October 18-19.
First runner-up was Deydream High Hopes, a 3 ½-year-old Manx Grand Premier from Easthampton, New Jersey and second runner-up Tigerboy Keymaster of Wishes, a 6-month-old Exotic kitten from Hong Kong.
The total number of entrants this year was down from 325 in 2007 to 248 , a drop that is thought to be due to the nationwide economic slowdown and higher energy costs that made it harder for owners who do this for the love of cats rather than fame or fortune to travel to New York. But Tiger Boy, an Exotic Shorthair tabby and this year’s second runner-up, came all the way from Hong Kong to participate.
