Woah — what a weekend! I’m still resetting after all the travel because we were busy, but despite the exhaustion, it was an incredibly fun and wonderful Windy (TICA) show in Tinley Park, Illinois.
This weekend, Enchantedlanders, Temple Creek, and Midwestern came together to represent the Highlander breed — with a total of six Highlanders in attendance. Between the three of us, Highlanders were shown across Adult, Kitten, and Alter classes, which is something I’m extremely proud of.
In the Adult Class, we had Cougar (Pumpkin’s granddad), Jedi, our Pumpkin, and Sundari. Each ring brought thoughtful comparisons during Best of Breed and division judging, and it really showed how close these cats are within the standard.
I want to especially highlight the girl— because at around 8 months old, many females are still quite small and developing. Seeing a young female step into the ring against fully developed males and hold her own speaks volumes about her structure, balance, and overall quality. That’s not something that happens by accident.
Weekends like this remind me how far the Highlander breed has come and where it’s headed. You’ll be seeing more of us and more Highlanders in TICA rings moving forward, and I couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead.
