A short-haired puspin (pusang Pinoy) from Manila received unexpected acknowledgment and carried various awards at the Funtastic Felines! Coral Jubilee International Cat Show.
Broite the puspin, which is called after her black, brown, and white colors, bagged 4 outstanding remarks from all judges, was chosen for “Best in Show” two times, called “Best in Show Household Pet Shorthair” two times, and hailed “Best of Best Household Pet Class” and “9th Place Coral Jubilee Master Ring 1” out of 106 cats.
Broite’s fur tita, Thessam Maranan, said that the global cat program is Broite’s very first competitors.
“Some fellow exhibitors and spectators asked what breed Broite is and were surprised that she is a PUSPIN because of her luxurious, sleek, shiny coat and beautiful print,” Maranan said on social networks.
“Let this post also be an awareness that PUSPINS, or our very own Philippine Shorthair cats, shouldn’t be looked down on and are equally as beautiful, important, and affectionate as the other more recognized, expensive, and prestigious breeds,” she included.
Meanwhile, Broite’s fur mother, LG Maranan, shared that Broite is not simply a common “pusang Pinoy” for she is a terrific and stunning cat on the within and out.
“Unbeknownst to all, she would often help me ground myself whenever I get one of those nasty “episodes” by kneading on me and purring ever so loudly. Other times she’s simply a soft cuddle bug regardless of her tsundere-ish façade,” she revealed on a Facebook post.
The “Funtastic Felines! The Coral Jubilee International Cat Show” was arranged by the Feline Council of the Philippines, Inc. in event of the World Cat Federation’s 35th anniversary last July 29 to 30.
Over 100 cats of various types contended in the said competitors, where the cats’ general body, breed requirements, character, coat, and appropriate grooming were analyzed by global judges.
