We took Myrtle to her first cat show yesterday.
It was only down the road so we thought it would be prefect. I had never been to a cat show before never mind showed a cat.
First impressions where "oh my god weird cat people"
I think of myself as a cat person , not that weird tho.
I had been warned about this so expected it. You know the sort of people that know everything and wont let you get word in. I was nicely surprised meeting a fair few other cat breeders.
I met a lovley lady who breeds Burmilla cats , and a another lovely lady who breeds Sphynx cats. I wanted to take one of the Burmillas home with me, Even the OH liked it.
I saw plenty of huge Maine Coons and some famous breeders.
Myrtle went into the Kitten group and she got an EX 3 , number one went to one of the best maine coons of the show and number two went to a little grey mainecoon with a slightly better muzzle than Myrtles. "so they say :lol: "
Well all in all it was a good show, happy to get an EX for little Myrtle. When her Muzzle matures a bit I might show her again. I would like to take both cats next time, not in a big rush to do another show tho as all this waiting round and caged cats wasn't my thing.
let me out
