The highest achievement in the CFA show ring is accomplished when a cat successfully earns the title of National Winner (NW). CFA established the title of Grand Champion in 1930 and the title of National Winner first appeared in 1971. In CFA, each year the top 25 cats in Championship, 25 Kittens and 25 cats in Premiership are awarded the NW title.
The European Burmese was accepted for Championship competition in 2002. The 2004-05 show season saw the first National Winner for the breed - a cream spay named GP, NW Bondi Colette who was 7th Best Alter.
Below is a table with the national winning European Burmese, including their name, color, sex, year of their win, and the award they earned.
If the cat's name is in blue text, you can click on it to see a photo of the cat. Championship cats names are on an orange background, kittens are on pink and alters are on a blue background.
