You are right - not that long ago I would just never have been able to contemplate going anywhere on my own, let alone to an unknown crowded place.

Lol I do have to admit tho that before I went, I was shaking and nervous how I'd cope going to an unknown place on my own but my hubby is brilliant at calming me down and encouraging me to do what I would like to.

Once I'd gotten inside, I was just goggle eyed at the number of breeds - most of which I had never seen in the flesh as it were, just pictures. Then Kay was so friendly and then Fran and it was just brilliant

Re: My First cat show ;)


It was so lovely to meet you Grete and I am glad you enjoyed the show and your cuddles with Roxie and Shannon. I am sure your babies appreciated you going as they seemed to have got a lot of pressies. You better bring a lot of money as the Cov & Leic has loads of stalls.

As for the point about cats not enjoying shows as you have seen most of them are laid back and relaxed with a few exceptions. These exceptations may very well have had a bad day, becoming into call etc but there are some people out there who continually show a cat that just doesn't like being shown. These people unfortunately do exist and are more interested in the so called prestige of owning a titled cat rather than the the cats feelings. I know, as a person who shows, that we like to think this isn't so but it does happen and in all of the breeds. Luckily these people are the minority. I myself have had experience of a cat that didn't like being shown. Angel hated it and therefore was only shown twice as a kitten. She isn't a nervous cat but just hated the show scene. I would never force any cat that didn't like it.
