"Best-in-Show" Named at CFA International Cat Show in San Mateo, California, on November 19, 2006

SAN MATEO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- November 20, 2006 -- Jadon Comefly With Me Of Kenkat, a blue Persian spay cat, owned by Donna Cook, Susan Cook Henry and Leah Fowler of Warrenton, Va, was named "Best-in-Show" from a field of 723 pedigreed felines showcased at the 19th annual Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA) International Cat Show. The show was held November 17-19, 2006, in San Mateo, California, at the San Mateo County Expo Center.

"This year's 'Best-in-Show' cat showcases the attributes of the Persian breed very well," said Pam DelaBar, president of the CFA. "As always, the competition was intense, but she gave a wonderful presentation in the judging rings."

Judges also selected the Best of Breed cats in each of the 50 pedigreed breeds and divisions in competition.
