"Rita" shared her kittenhood with co-owner Tammy Roark, along with one Himalayan (GP RW Ristokat's Masquerade of Tamarakatz), and an active herd of the famous Tamarakatz Somalis (too many regional winners to list). Along with Tammy's hubby Rob, they share an idyllic life in a beautiful A-frame home nestled in the trees of Washington.

Although shown only a couple of times as a 4-month old kitten against a phenomenal crop of older Persian kittens, Rita held her own, including finaling as 2nd Best Kitten! Quite a feat for such a baby girl.

Rita was often busy chasing the Somalis around the house and proving that Persians are not lacking in athletic abilities. :-) I have even heard rumors that she fancied herself their ringleader! Thank you so much Tammy, for opening your heart to include Rita into your family. You are a true and wonderful friend.

Rita is grand-pointed but then blew coat and decided to return to Mockingbird to begin her breeding career.

Rita has a melting expression with wonderful deep copper eyes that mesmerize. Her ears are very tiny, fitting beautifully into her perfectly round head structure and wonderful doming.
