Nile Abys Around the World
Nile
DAVID BECKS —
a
Tawny son of Nat Sh Ch, CCCA Dbl Gr Ch & Diamond Dbl Gr Ch Nile Phantom Of
Hope and Dbl Gr Ch Nile Toccata, Becks was the only male in a litter of
five. The girls were all named after the Spice Girls, so his name seemed
quite appropriate; it seems even more appropriate now, since he has gone to Carolyn Osier (Wil-O-Glen) in Los Angeles. Becks has already
had a number of best in show wins, including at the Blue Point Siamese show
in late September and the Blue Mountains in late October. Since arriving at
Carolyn's, Becks
has spent his time mostly purring, officially becoming Nile
David Becks of Wil-O-Glen, and going to shows.
He
found his feet at the Feline Friends International show on December 15/16,
and was Best Shorthair Kitten in three of the six rings.
At
the Tonks West show in Costa Mesa, CA, in mid-April, he placed in all four all-breed adult
rings, with two firsts, a 2nd and a 5th. He was the highest-scoring cat in
show and became a Gran Champion in the process. He has also mated his first
girl.

Gold Dbl Gr Ch Nile Magnum Opus — "O-Puss" is owned in Dunedin by Stuart and Claudine Johnstone. He did well as a kitten last year, and equally well as an adult this year, with nearly 30 top-10 placings, and consequently rapid "promotions" to the top of the title ranks. He has started siring successful Exodus kittens for the Johnstones.
