I am going to show April 4th and 5th

I'll have to check in the morning for updates on her first show - before we go to church....

Thanks Everyone,
We just got home.
She did not win anything as expected..
There were three sphynx altogether.
She came in 2nd in one ring out of threr sphynx
The rest in 3rd.
She did not make the finals but I was told you have to get known and she would start doing well.
I guess I cleaned her good.
The judges said she was very clean and her teeth are nice and white.
Sh lost to a calico in the color catergory.
She did not mind being shown at all.
One judge said she is very friendly because she hugged him.
That was all he said.
She would not play with the toys in the ring.
She got a lot of nice comments from the judges.
One judge loved her wrinkles.
They likd the shape of her head and tail.
Trying to remember what else was said.

A second BOB is a start! Well done to Cleo

I'm glad she enjoyed herself though. Did you get any pics? and you're going back tomorrow?

I bet you're all tired!

We are going back tomorrow.
There was one problem with Cleo
She was hissing at the cat next to her in the last ring.
I only got two pics.

I don't think that's a problem - lots of cats do that!!

I plan on showing in Fresno next.
I loved the Oci's.

Of course They are stunning cats.

They sure are.
The full grown Rexes were smaller then Cleo but I loved them.

Glad you had a lot of fun and will continue to show for awhile. First time for everyone can be a little overwhelming. Hopefully she will do better today (Sunday) and maybe get a BOB in a ring

I remember the first time I showed cats (my household pet). Back then the HHP's were only in one ring - not all of them. The judge admitted he didn't like tabby cats and would never put one in a final...........didn't lie - he didn't choose a single tabby (my Mitten was blue mac tabby/white). So I didn't get anything. The next time we showed him, he was Diana Doernberg's BEST Household pet out of 55 household pets shown!


Can you check your catalog and give me the names of the Oci's that were there (what color)? Thanks.

These are the ones from kitten class that I saw.
Wild Rain Voyageur of Tribal.
Ocigatos Opus One
One is Tawny Spotted and the other Chocolate Spotted.
I loved how they look.
You remember that breder that played games with me?
I found out so much about her.
Everyone said she is no good and to stay a way from her.
She is being shown as a kitten.
Cleo did beat the black sphynx for 2nd in sphynx once.
I forgot Cleos litter pan by mistake.
Are full grown Rexes always that small?
I loved them also. It seems she plays games with everyone from what I heard

Not all Rexes are tiny. CFA tends to like the smaller ones. But a good healthy Rex is about 5 or 6 lbs of solid muscle. They may look small but are solid muscle. Personally, I think CFA is getting too extreme on some of the breeds - Rexes included!

My best show Rex was very tall and a good solid 6-7 lbs. He granded young in CFA before he finished growing, then after Granding, the judges dumped him as he was "too big" for their tastes, even if he fit the standard perfectly. So I showed him mainly in ACFA where he made many years of Regional/National finals on a consistent basis. He rarely missed a final in an ACFA show!

Well done Cleo and I am glad you had a good time Jacky

Sounds exciting, I cannot wait until next weekend. I am curious to see how Zee will do simply because he is benching with his breeder and she has had some impressive cats.

Yay, Cleo! I'm glad she was not bothered by the strange place and commotion.

Did you see any Oriental Shorthairs or Abysinnians? Did you take any pictures?
I would love to see a picture of Cleo in her cage set up.

Good luck to you and Cleo today.

Good luck Jacky!!!!!!!!!

Glad to read you and Cleo had a good time!

good job on day one!

How did today go? Any updates?
