I am looking for a mentorin Cfa or Tica

Well that would be normal grooming stuff for a Sphynx wouldn't it? I only need my hands and a little Silk liquid for shine and to take static out of the coat in the show hall.

I just love those "wash and wear" cats. BTW I combed Charlie before bathing - only got the amount of fur I got with Spooky (c. rex) - which is barely enough to say you got anything off the cat. Oci's really do NOT shed.

Thanks for the help.
I use baby wipes on Cleo.
I will bring clothes.
What size bed should I bring?

Silvers shed more, but much less than any other cat I've had. Still not even a flea comb full each time I do him, which is only once a month or so but it's more hair than my other colours.

Mews - most bring a small "donut" bed. If you don't have a small one to bring, then bring about $20 extra dollars and buy a bed for her at the show. Its an unwritten rule if you forgot the bed, you have to buy a new one.

I have these beds.

I've never seen a sphynx wearing clothes at a show - infact our clubs wouldn't allow it - not sure what they say in the US?

Either of these are perfect.

I have not seen sphynx in clothes here at cat shows either.
I no whenthey are judged shecan not have one on.

Yeah it would probably be OK in her benching cage - but maybe check with cococat!

Thanks,
I will ask them.
Cfa still has not wrote me back.
How long should it take to get a mentor?

I think it would probably take a week or 2 for them to reply! Does it cost to get a mentor?

Try getting Cleo to sit in both beds and take her pic and then see which you like better - first impression is the grey one, but she might blend in too much with that.

If you got a pink or red towel you can put in the bed (kinda over it) then use that.

Cleo dosent like the cat beds.
I have a pink bed also.
I have this bed also.
She has not gone in any of the cat beds at all.

That's what I find at the shows - they never actually go into their fancy beds. That's why I just have show cushions - flat ones.

That last bed there is very pretty!

She may use it at the show tho - my cats don't use the ones at home, but sometimes will use them in the show hall. I'd take it along and see.

I'd bring the little pink bed for her.

No clothes in the judging ring but you use them will benched, some show halls do get really cold.

I personally don't use a cat bed in my sturdis, the cats don't like them. Instead they prefer to use extra liner sheets.

As for the CFA mentor program - I never used the program so I don't really know how long it takes to get one.

If you'd like, pm me exactly where you are and maybe I can find you a mentor in the area as well I know a few excellent breeders in CA, I can put in a good word and see if they are willing to help a friend of a friend!

Thanks,
I will pm you.
