But Mosi wants to know what's wrong with red 'uns 

nothing at all Mosi  it was just that this little girl was so tiny and petite and young that she looked particularly appealing with her little squirrel tail tucked over her nose

And Jaffa will want to know that too

I think I have lost my heart to a silver somali kitten who was particularly adorable 

They are  My next Somali is going to be a usual silver (or maybe a blue silver cos I love blues).

Well I almost left the National with a cheeky little Devon Rex kitten in one pocket and a sublimely chunky tipped BSH in the other...  So you're not alone, Jo! 

P.S. Non-peds are still the best tho!

thanks witty - I never doubted it, having been a breeder myself at one point in time. My only problem was parting with the kittens once i had seen them born and raised them to 16 weeks - they were all my babies!!!

And that somali - well, what more can I say!!

Ahhhhhhhhh, you can find a show calendar here: http://www.gccfcats.org/showsnew.html

Glad you had a lovely day at the show Jo!  I really hope you'll be tempted to join the ranks of exhibitors again! 

The people involved with the cat fancy are cat lovers like any other - it's just the odd bad one that gives the rest of us a bad name. On the whole, those that I know are impressed with what they've seen of Purrs, especially the way the board has dealt with rescue cases and if Purrs can get a stand at some shows, then that would be wonderful.

will see what I can find out!

I went to the show yesterday and spend a lovely afternoon surrounded by lots of lovely purr-pussies showing off their full glory. There was a wide class of moggies and non-pedigrees which were adorable but I think I have lost my heart to a silver somali kitten who was particularly adorable 

Loki, who is to be uncle to Misty, won best of breed - he is a gorgeous red (cream?) NFC and adored all the attention he was getting during the day. His cage was so covered in awards you could barely see in by the end of the day!! and what gorgeous rosettes - some even christmas themed, with little tartan bows and tiny pine cones!! It is almost tempting to start showing again, just to get my hands on some of these - they are lovely and of course Smidgen would win friendliest kitten hands down (not that I am biased at all you understand! ).

This is the cat fancy that particularly helped Misty when she was on the outer with her owner, so to be congratulated on their responsible approach to breed cats I feel. They are very impressed with the work we do here on Purrs and have offered us an opportunity to have a stall at their show if we want. It is not too far from mine, so if there is any interest, and the next show does not coincide with a hectic month at work, am happy to see what I can do. Any ideas, pm to me and we can discuss.
