The cat cage curtains in this photo were designed by Rocky Mountain Persians.
This little cutie is CH Jordanalisa Blue Sky of Rockymountn, we call him Skyler. He is such a wonderful kitty to show. He is a blue & white bi-color and competed in the Bi-Color Division of the Persian class. As you can see in some of the photos, the judges have fun with them and catch their attention with a feather toy.
This little ham bone (pictured below) is CH Jordanalisa Vertigo of Rockymountn. We ended up calling him Vertigo because if you look at the spots on his face long enough begin to feel like you've got Vertigo. He was great to take to the show, he is such a playful boy and has a blast hanging out in the benching cages playing with the newest toys. (Yes, we spoil them at every show with the latest and greatest cat toys.) Vertigo is a black & white bi-color and competed in the Bi-Color Division of the Persian class. Although Vertigo is a black & white bi-color, he is described as a van. A van is an all white cat with color on the head and tail and a maximum of two spots of color are allowed on the body. In the Cat Fanciers Association the "van" is no longer differentiated separately from the bi-color class. However, breeders still use the term to describe the amount of white that appears on a bi-color cat.
As you can see in one of the photos, there are two judges judging Vertigo. When there is a new judge in training they also have to score the cats separately from a senior judge and they must compare judging notes after the cat is looked over.
This little girl (pictured below) is CH Rockymountn Jessie's Girl. She is a calico and competed in the Bi-Color Division of the Persian class. Although a calico is really a tri-colored cat consisting of red, black & white, calico's compete as a bi-color in the Cat Fanciers Association.
In many cases, a patch tabby will look like a calico, but what differentiates the patch tabbies and the calicos are that there are stripes in the coloring on a patch tabby. A patch tabby can only be a female as with a calico.
