I've tried Rescue Remedy. Works only a tad on him. I need to find a better way to rectify the issue. I'll hate to retire him after this show because he's so pretty (at least in my opinion
). A judge from the last show - Cleo's breeder actually - suggested that I try to purchase a wire cage from the show cage people to train him at home. Didn't get a chance to do so before leaving the last show, but maybe I might do that this time around.

Is rescue Remedy allowed?
I need to try something with Cleo.
The cage might work you never know.
Someone came up to me and said someone in thier family has a half sister of Ty from Nial.
Someone else told someone that Cleo looks like one of Ed cats.
I forget who the persons name is but i think he is from the Mid Atlantic Region.
I never saw the person who said it.
Brittney a sphynx breeder I know said to try lavendar.
This was Cleos first 3 day show also.
I hope you have better luck at your next show.
Cleo has a CFA show on Oct 25th.
I did like TICA.
It is nice to see breeds that are not in CFA.

I've never heard of using Vanilla or Vicks. I know some people use lavendar oil on the cage cushion, or fresh picked lavender in the cushion pillowcase.

but if Cleo really hates it, it may be best to just follow her wishes.

Congrats Jacky and the kitties.

Don't feel bad - I went to one TICA show with my Cornish Rex a long time ago. I never did figure out the scoring system, but after 2 days of showing, Spooky walked out of the showhall as a Grand Champion and I have no clue as to how he did it (never registered/claimed it). 1,000 points sounds like a lot, but it really isn't - I "think" you get a certain amount of points for the final (like 250 points if you win in AB or something like that). Nial can explain it

I was confused by the scoring too. I read several websites on it but I still found it somewhat confusing. I asked someone at the show and they explained it all much better. I still don't get the regional awards scoring systems though.

Thanks Martice
Nekochan,
I was so confused the first day of the show on the scoring.
I thought Cleo only got points for the final until I was told by someone how it works.
When Cleo gets BOB in CFA I never see points for that.
There were alot of Toygers at the show also.
I got benched way in the back because of Ty.
They said they like to bench the Bengals in the back because they are loud.

I was benched by Savannahs and Egyptian Maus for some reason. There were a number of Toygers in the show I was at too, actually several were benched in the same row as us.

We had alot of Toygers in our row.
I was not benched with my TICA Mentor.
She was 2 rows in front of me.
We were as far as you can get from the rings.

That's a bit weird. In ACFA, we never have problems with Bengals being "loud". Not sure why TICA would separate them - what do you mean by being loud?

They were screaming and people told me I was benched in back because we had a Bengal.
Ty was loud also.
He got smacked by a Bengal through the cage in the ring across the face.
He just wanted to play and did not cause any problems.
I do not know if TICA does that or it was just this show.

It's the show management that decided to put the bengals in the back of the hall. Each TICA show is different and it's not a TICA policy to put bengals in the back because they are vocal.
It is true that some exibitors complain that bengals are noisy and disturb their cats, so if the show management is in tune to that, they will group the bengal exhibitors in an area that is further away from the exhibitors who are showing quiet sensitive cats.

Bengal kittens can be especially noisy. They all settle down as adults for the most part.

I'm surprised that Ty was vocal. He was quiet as a mouse at the 2 shows prior to this one. Maybe he was just chiming in with the others?

He was better then most of the Bengals in the Ring.
Ty meowed in the truck on the way to the show also but that is because he was not allowed to be loose in the truck.
Jay Bangle gave him 4th place in Bengals and Faye gave him 5th in Benglas on Sunday.

Many of the Bengals at our shows are very vocal but I wouldn't have them any other way. I love their dispositions!
