This picture was published at one of the best Mexican newspaper on Sunday. This beautiful boy is my loved Red Persian Champion Nippur of Nippuren . Nippur arrived to our place when he was two months old and I always say that he was born to win. Everyday in the morning he used to jump on our bed and the morning salutation was " Hello purr purr Nippur" after this he was very close to my husband and he started to tell the kitty nice words to enhance his "self esteem". Phrases like "you are the most beautiful cat of the world" "you are a very strong boy" "we love you very much " "you never get sick" and so for. Nippur was always quiet listening as if he could understand every word, when he considered that it was enough, then he Was closer to my husband and started to lick him on his face, well he was not licking my husband but really washing him as if he were another cat, later he was going away until next day for the same ritual. Nippur grew up and when he was six months old went for the first time to a Cat Show. For us it was also the first experience. He won "Best of breed" and from that moment ahead it was a wonderful experience to compete with him although it was more stressing for me than for Nippur. We became a team and we got closer, no matter that I loved him very much in advance. Nippur won in all shows he competed and at the end of the year being fifteen months old had won all possible awards granted to a cat in Mexico. He was Best long-hair cat, Best cat born in Mexico, and CAT OF THE YEAR 1996, of course Nippur was already a Champion. This has been one of the most marvelous experiences of my life. Thanks to all that made it possible. After this success I decided that Nippur would never compete again. It was too much stress for all of us .¡ And he had probed to be the best in Mexico !
