She will be fine. Nana has had 50 years of experience and I'm 99% sure that she will have them before then, Nana isn't as confident.Originally Posted by mews2much
I hope she will be ok.
They always have kittens at the wrong time.
My Coco could not live with me before and the day we moved to a place that took cats she had kittens.
I had to leave her where she had been staying.
I don't think it's the wrong time - you have control over when pedigree cats have their kittens (to some extent). Flutterby is supposed to be going to stud on Friday and yes the kittens will be due Boxing Day.
For me it's not an issue about whether the cats will handle it (Fluffy & Tales are so laidback) it's me and my grumpiness after 3 or 4 shows in a row.Originally Posted by FerrisCat
I'll be out and about quite a bit this month through December, but these days I don't know where I'm going almost up until the show closes. Lots of factors to consider. . . I'm training some kittens and will be showing them as adults. I'm averaging 2-3 shows a month now, but will be hitting the trail harder once it's time to start competing for granding points.
This weekend I will be at Liberty Trail (Cherry Hill NJ) on Saturday and Southern Dixie (Richmond, VA) on Sunday. Can't say much about where I'll be after that! Nothing is in stone until the entries are in, and even then. . .
As for doing shows every weekend. . . some cats can handle it, others can't, and some even actually need to be out every weekend lest they forget how to show! It all depends on the cat in question. Plus, you do not need to make your cat compete in every ring. This way you don't risk them getting burned out in a ring that wouldn't have rewarded them anyways.
