In 2011, CFA instituted a brand new title — the Grand of Distinction.
In order to earn the title, a cat must receive a minimum of 30 finals over each of 3 separate show seasons.
The show seasons do not have to be consecutive, and can be earned in either Championship or Premiership.
For more details, see our article Grand of Distinction: A New Title in CFA.
The very first cat of any breed to earn the prestigious award in CFA was an Exotic Shorthair — a Brown McTabby & White neuter named GC, GPD, NW Ivy Cat Quarterback. Read his story here . . .
The first Abyssinian to earn this title was GPD, RW Red Ferne Blue Mystic of Spricey, a Blue Abyssinian Neuter, bred by Lisa Kaelin, and owned and shown by Sharon Demuth.
Listed below are the Abyssinian winners of the title to-date; separated by year, and listed in the order that they earned their title.
