Is anyone here going to be attending the cat show in Richmond, VA on the 21st? I'm going to try to go and it will be my first cat show to see, so I'm very excited. Just wondered if anyone from TCS would be there.

Watching the robins sing!
You will have so much fun! Take your camera and watch the different judges! I saw the most beautiful cats - Abymummy was kind enough to suggest some cats to watch for at the show. What fun!!

Is it a CFA show Paula? If it is, then pm me and I'll see which cats may be there that's worth looking out for!


Have fun!

Ha Ha!!!


There's a Zehnder Blue Aby that SHOULD be competing in this show - doing very well regionally and is in the top 25 nationally!


There's also a Tropikoons Maine Coon and a Purrinlot persian.

Can't recognise any of the other cattery names but I promise you, you'll have fun!

Just make sure you take a pic of the blue Aby for me please???

If its CFA and I still lived in Maryland, I'd be showing Charlie there


Anyway, not sure if any of the DotDotDot oci's will be there. There are closer shows this section of the US for her to go to. But be on the look out for any of them too


If there are ocicats - be sure to get a picture

I only live about an hour and a half from there... is there a link for the show information? Oh, crud, I just remembered that I'm supposed to be in Philly that weekend. Nevermind, I was going to suggest a roadtrip from NoVa to Richmond and a small get together of some nature. Next time, I guess.

Shame you can't come, a get-together would be great!

I know there's one in Chantilly at some point, and that's right next door to me, hehe.

I just looked it up - it appears to be in September. I will totally go then!

Yeah, last time I went to that cat show... $300 in cat toys... although they were great and I just went to town stocking up. In fact, it was the show two years ago and I still have several of the toys from it. Now..with most cats, I'd say maybe that's not an accomplishment, but with my crew (excluding Noel, who is a I'll lie here and bat at it when it actually passes over my head and I can reach it type).. toys last three rounds of play. If you're like, maybe five. PetSmart toys.. there's been a number that were toast within 5 minutes of opening.

As it turns out, I may be available to go to this show. I may not be going to Philly, but it's still up in the air so..I probably won't know until at least next weekend.

That's why I warn people to take a limited amount of money to the show and leave the CC and checkbook home
The most I've spent "extra" was to buy one of the treehouses at the show - about $150-175. Most times, I'll pick up a few toys (limit to $20) and just enjoy looking at the cats waiting to take my cat up to the rings.

Hehe, well, I do tend to pick up toys from the cat show mostly because they last a lot longer than the ones from petsmart. My three play fiends decimate petsmart toys in a matter of like 3 minutes... three minutes from open to trash can.

Well, the weekend is fast approaching for the Richmond show. To those of you who are planning to attend ... would you like to meet up somewhere and say hello? Which day and at what time would suit everyone?

I am still planning to attend on Saturday but I don't know what time. My bf has to work that day and doesn't know yet what time he will be off, but I'm guessing it will be later, like 1pm before I can get there. Hope I don't miss all the excitement
I have never been to the place so I'm not familiar with the it at all regarding meeting places.
