Arcadia TICA Show Pictures

I'll be honest in that sphynx cats are not my personal favorite. I think they're absolutely beautiful and unique, but they aren't for me. I do appreciate them, though. A friend of mine has a female sphynx who is extremely sweet and friendly, as well, and I have grown to adore her. But, I prefer my kitties furry! And, the furrier the better!

I hope you don't take offense to what I wrote above. I think sphynx are fabulous cats (and they are SO soft!) but I would rather just visit with them and not own them. Though, I will say this: they have the best personalities! I really do think they're wonderful cats. And, who knows, maybe there is a sphynx somewhere in my future.

That all being said, I think your sphynx cats are gorgeous. I have always loved Cleo. And, Wrinkles is just so darned cute! I haven't seen much of Polar, but if that is him in those pictures below, well, he's absolutely stunning!

I don't know much about showing, but I've kept up with your threads and I am so happy to hear that Cleo behaved well at the show. She's such a sweet cat and beautiful to boot and so it's wonderful that she is coming around. And, congrats to Wrinkles for doing better now that she is being shown as an adult. And, how exciting is it that Polar is just starting out and doing so well?! I'm really thrilled for you!

Congrats with your kitties. They're so special and I know how much you love them through your posts here. I'm grateful to be able to experience them through you...

Alison, I got to say... you just have great way with words, and your posts are just a joy to read

Jacky, there is not much to say for me, other than stunning! I a amazed how BIG and gorgeous Polar has become - I mean, this is a postcard kitty! Fantastic pictures of fantastic cats!

Cleo... oh well, she is just Awesome! I LOVE her last picture... Priceless expression!

It is great to know she behaved so well!!! You have amazing kitties!

How wonderful that Cleo enjoyed her day.

Polar looks like a photogenic boy, very nice pics of him.

I still think there is hope to get Cleo back in the ring one day

I have to agree with Alison - I prefer fur on my cats. I do like the Sphynx only due to their personalities - they are like the Rexes. I had Cornish. My mom never got used to those curly cats and thought they were ugly. I couldn't even get her to pet one!

Great pics Jacky

Your babies are so incredibly stunning! I would LOVE to have a Sphynx someday!

Polar Bare is a natural for the camera. Keep working with him, you have a promising young man!

Have you been to the Arcadia show hall before? Perhaps there was something a little different that set Cleo at ease. . . at the next show, you might want to show up early and work with her in the rings before the judges arrive. Even if you don't enter her for competition, that will give her a positive experience and teach her that showing is safe again.

I'm envious of your quick turnaround for the photographs
