Calico Female
In the 2001-2002 show season, CFA began awarding a new title – Breed Winner, which is abbreviated as BW. This title is quite exclusive, being given to ONLY ONE cat in each breed or division in a given year – the highest scoring cat for that breed or division in the Championship class.
Although the award began in that season, CFA is retroactively adding the title to Breed Winners of previous years.
In the 2016-17 show season, the award areas were expanded, to provide 3 sets of awards – BWR (for all cats competing in regions 1-9), BWC (for cats competing in China), and BWI (for cats competing in all other International areas).
In this article, Best of Breed was researched back to the 1966-67 show season where the best of breed cats were first listed in the CFA yearbooks.
Up until the 1989-90 show season, both the parti-colors and the bi-color/calicos (ie, “with white” cats) were shown in a single division – called the Parti Color Division.
Starting with the 1990-91 show season, the 2 groups were separated, with the “with white” cats being shown as the Bicolor/Calico division, leaving the Parti Color division to contain only the tortoiseshells, blue-creams, chocolate torties, and lilac-creams.
Although CFA may not have yet updated their records to add the BW title to the cats listed below, the cats have earned the right to use the BW title.
For the Bi-Colors, the first Breed Winner after becoming their own division was GC, BW, RW Anz Maggie The Cat, DM, a calico female, who earned the award in 1990-91. The first male Breed Winner occurred the following year, in 1991-92, earned by a black and white named GC, BW, NW Purrsay’s A. Jewel.
