ACTIVE Registered with both GCCF & TICA - Softee has now been neutered
Softee is an utter flopbot and a charmer to boot! He is so laid back and has particularly stunning eyes and a soppy soft nature, hence the name. He is an incredibly loving boy who wins over everyone who meets him. Judges are always saying he is too gentle to be a boy and commenting on his personality, excellent type and beautiful coat! Judge critiques can be seen on our show pages.
Softee has had good success on the show bench to date gaining his TICA Ch Title at 11 months in one day of shows and gaining his GCCF Gr Ch title in 6 straight shows. He was Best British Adult at the Somerset show and Best Selkirk Adult at the Rex Cat Club and Selkirk Rex Cat Club shows. Softee has just been awarded his TICA Quadruple Grand Champion title at the WesTICAt Show April 2011. He has just gained his Imperial Grand Champion title in just 6 shows and with stiff competition in every class! This makes Softee the first Imperial Grand Champion Longhaired Male Selkirk and also the youngest Selkirk Rex Imperial Grand Champion titled cat (to be confirmed).
Softee finished his first full year of adult competition with TICA (only 4 shows!) as a Regional Winner and also International Best Selkirk Rex Longhair and Regional Best Selkirk Rex Longhair. Softee has just achieved his Supreme Grand Champion title with TICA and is now the ONLY entire cat in the UK to have achieved the Imperial Grand Champion with GCCF and Supreme Grand Champion title with TICA. I am incredibly proud of his achievements particularly as he is still only 2.5 years old!!
Softee is now a proven stud boy who has produced some stunning offspring with a variety of queens. He produces healthy chunky kittens with great temperaments. He is definitely a one in a million cat!
Update 2016 ~ Softee has once again made history by becoming the first Selkirk Rex Longhair Cat achieve an International Win with TICA aged 6 years 11 months from only 9 shows. He is quite simply a phenomenal example of the breed with an amazing nature. He also became the first Selkirk Rex Longhair to achieve the Lifetime Achievement award in TICA. He is now the most highly titled Selkirk Rex Longhair in the world.
Softee will be siring his last litters in 2017 ~ with Bunny for Boucles and with some other visiting queens. I aim to neuter him by the end of 2017 once Wookie and Dreamy are proven and Softee has completed his final stud duties for external queens. He has made a lasting contribution to the breed and deserves his time on the sofa having lots of cuddles.
