Candy is in Kittens USA Magazine!

Helmi Flick chose Candy for Kittens USA Magazine

First Posted September 1, 2009
Helmi Flick, who I admire greatly, chose my cat Candy (co-owned with and bred by Bruce Alexy of Alexy Abyssinians) as the example of an Abyssinian for the annual 2009-2010 issue of the Kittens USA Magazine!

RW QGC Alexy Braeside Candytuft of Aksum is a chocolate Abyssinian who is 2009 TICA's International Best Chocolate Abyssinian and 2009 TICA SE Region's Best Abyssinian. She is the 4th Best Abyssinian in the U.S. and the 2nd Best Female Abyssinian in the U.S. All of that was while only being shown for half of the show year.

I posted this on pictures-of-cats.org where a lot of Helmi's amazing photos are featured. The owner of the website rated it 5 stars and said,

"Susan, thanks a lot for sharing this. This is one of the best visitor submissions we have had and we have had over 500!

"Candy is pure class. She looks so perfect; beautifully proportioned. I am thrilled that you have shown her picture to all our visitors."


Thank you, Michael, for allowing me to post her photo and story. To see more photos of Candy and hear more of her story, go to the Aksum website.
