Eastern Counties Cat Show
Saturday, August 13th, 2011We were back at the Woodgreen Animal Shelter for a cat show last Saturday. I just took Pippa this time to get her used to being shown. She was an absolute angel last time and wasn’t fazed about being in a pen all day but just got on with the business of playing and enjoying all the attention.
This time she got into her mum’s habit of hiding under the blanket but, once the Open Classes judging was finished and we were allowed back into the hall, I could give her a toy mouse to play with and she was back to her usual playful self.
For me, this was a very enjoyable show, lots of lovely Ocicat friends to spend time with and the day flew by. Pippa did really well, getting a 1st and BOB in the Open, as did her sister Isla, and winning 2 other classes, one of 4 and one of 8.
The next show to look forward to will be the Ocicat Club Show on 1st October, so anyone reading this who has an Ocicat or Ocicat Classic and would like to have a go at showing, this is the one to do! Ideal for getting the hang of how it all works in a small, friendly environment, with lots of other Ocicats to admire! Details on the Ocicat Club website or from me ![]()
Belated CONGRATULATIONS to Thickthorn Meadowsaffron!! Many thanks to Ron and Barbara Darby of Silversmoke for entrusting us with Saffi’s beautiful daughter Lexi. Saffi’s good looks are being passed down and Florence (Pardalis Genesis), her granddaughter is already doing well on the show bench and has gained her Premier title. Hopefully, once the Ocicat Classic has reached Championship status, Lexi herself, will be up there with her title winning relatives
ree cats in the Assessment this time but our beautiful girl walked off with the Best Assessment Exhibit earning her a large bag of food and a helium balloon to play with and us £20 and a bottle of bubbly - very nice! Her side classes were a good size and she got thirds in each of them, so we were very happy with that.
