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.
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.

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.

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.
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.

Ha! Too true. . . I think the next weekend I know I can claim a break is that first full weekend in November. After that, maybe I'll get a break the weekend of the International. Luckily I'll be hitting the holiday season (on a school teacher's schedule) so I'll have some breaks to look forward to during the work week.

I have just entered my open cat, Safiya and my sister's spayed cat, Zahra into a one day show in Longview, Wa. Hopefully we can socialize them enough to be OK with the trip between now and then. My sister's cat has a leg-up on mine since she brings her to my parents place every few weekends and lets her run rampant all over the house. Zahra is a beautiful little girl and is very outgoing. Safiya is open with me and very friendly with visitors, but I will be bringing her out with me to feed stores and such to get her used to crowds.

There is one TICA show and one CFA show I want to go to in November but I'm not sure yet if I can make it. The TICA one is near Milwaukee so I would have to stay overnight.

They're not shows but there are three more Halloween contests I'm hoping to enter this month! So far I've entered three costume contests, and we got first place in all three. I had my cat Harlequin dressed as Little Red Riding Hood and Bianca my German Shepherd as the Big Bad Wolf.

I'm going to a CFA show Dec. 12-13 in Phoenix, taking all my HHP girls. I've also entered Merlin as an alter but don't expect him to do anything. He'll be just over 8 months old and is pet quality rather than show quality. The main reason I entered him is because I don't want to leave him home alone for two days. I might not have a house left standing when I get home.


Heather is entering Willow (Goldy) in the same show, show I'll get to see her then.
