SIAMESE superstar Fire knows he's the cat that got the cream - after winning FOUR best in show awards.

The two-year-old, who lives with owner Janet Johnson at Appleton-le-Moors, near Kirkbymoorside, wowed the judges at four shows in Harrogate, Edinburgh, Wales and Cambridgeshire.

Janet, a primary school teacher at Loftus, near Saltburn, said Fire loved all the fuss.

"He is full of personality and confidence and he purrs continuously," she said.

"He absolutely adores the attention."

Janet, who has eight other cats, said the Siamese neuter had done really well to get so far at each event.

"All of the shows have lots of competition so it's really exciting to win," she said.

Fire has already proved it runs in the family - one of his kittens won best in show at the top level National Olympia event last year.
