 :1st place: Minxy, Star and Pinball  :wow:

I have to say Lottie, I'm not sure where I stand on cat shows as I can only think how my own cats would react (it would NOT be good :evillaugh:) but I can honestly say your lot look like they were born to show - could they be any more relaxed about it?  :Luv2:

A friend of mine off another board was there too with her two Selkirks and her household pets - I think you may have been in some rings with her?

Oooo yes Pinball had one of the Selkirks in the Novice side class with him and their DLH female in the Debutante class!

Congratulations Lottie!!  Your gang looking more gorgeous as ever, no wonder they did so well!!  But in case I missed something, who's that handsome hunk Pinball??

Thank you!  ;D Pinball is my new little man who I've had for just over a month now, his daddy is Minxy and Star's daddy  :) He's a sweetie but very sensitive (ie a big girls blouse and rather fond of pink)

Awww I didn't know the team had a new addition!!  Pinball is lovely, I already love him (sensitive or not) ;D :Luv:

Aw well done Lottie :Luv:

I have to admit as much as Pinball and Minxy are lush, Star just makes me :drool;

I had a long haired moggie as a teenager, Smokey, who looked just like Star, same deep blue coat and white paws and perfect triangle on his face.

Perfection.

Congratulations to you and your stunningly beautiful cats.  My favourite is the handsome Pinball, I can't get over how huge his darling ears are.  If he's ever looking for a new home, I'd like to be on the list, please

They look so relaxed about it and are all beautiful cats - I have a soft spot for Star though!

A Little Show Brag!
« Reply #1 on: July 07, 2008, 20:18:09 PM »
Yesterday I took Minxy (Sunrise Sunset), Star (Starlight Express) and Pinball (Pinball Wizard) to a show down in Wigan. It was a new venue and it was really nice, the rows were very well spaced out and not one cat all day at the show went potty (usually there's at least one that throws a hissy fit) and it was nice to see all the cats (and exhibitors!!) looking so relaxed.

 It was slightly chaotic for me showing 3 cats on my own though especially when 2 of the cats were in a side class together!

Competition was very stiff with so many absolutely stunning cats and the groups for Nomination and side classes were huge. I would have hated to be the judges making the decisions as at times it was so so close between the cats.

Pinball came 2nd in his class and he came 3rd in the Novice side class. I was so proud of him as he's only just turned 4 months old so he's a little baby and he was so good. He was perfectly happy in the pen and just slept all day apart from a mad 15mins with a pingpong ball before lunch  :evillaugh: He even let the judge hold him upside down like a baby!

Star won his class, won Best In Variety and was Nominated for Best In Show. He also came 3rd in the Breeder side class after the judge spent ages deciding between all the cats in it.

Minxy won her class, won the Nomination for Best in Show and also won the Breeder class! Minxy is a good girl and just sat on the chair next to me whilst she was waiting for the judge to finish judging the cat before her.

The judges kept asking me how old Star and Minxy were and confirming their date of birth etc as I think they were struggling to believe that they really were just 7 months and 5 days old as they are rather on the large side!

I cannot begin to express how emotional it was for me that both of Boopy's kittens got down to the final 3 for the Best in Show Panel. Neither of them won it but it was still an amazing day and I am so proud of both of them and my little Pinball  ;D :Luv:
