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 American Wirehair to earn this title was GCD, BWR, RW Jamis Indigo Moon of Sazikatz, a Blue Silver Tabby American Wirehair male, bred by Judith Bemis and owned by Sheryl Zink and Judith Bemis.

This beautiful boy is the only American Wirehair to date that has earned this prestigious title in CFA.
