Purebliss Arrakis - her first show
Saturday 25 February '06
5.30am - Tim's already up and getting things together, make sure we have everything we need for the show. Arrakis (Kis) has to be brushed, check her ears are clean, clean out any sleep from her eyes, make sure she has cleaned herself properly after visiting her litter tray. She has a drink of water and just a few bics, but no breakfast until she arrives at the show, there's a long journey ahead.
6.30am - Debbie turns in the drive and picks us both up and off we go, Debbie has her Birman with her today for showing.
We call in on the way to pick up two Birman cats belonging to someone who can't manage to get there today, it's a shame for her cats not to go, so we will take them and look after them today.
Next call at Melton to pick up Gina and her cat, another Birman. Looks like we are well and truly out numbered today, 4 Birmans and 1 Bengal kitten.
Lovely show, good to meet up with friends and see all the cats and kittens. It's lovely to see kittens seen in previous shows are growing into beautiful adults.
Kiss is lovely in vetting in, although very quiet. She didn't travel too well, emptied her bowels and didn't feel well enough to clean herself.
Cleaned Kiss up and gave her a good cuddle. Set up her pen and gave her another cuddle.
Kiss settled down in her pen and I went to have a look how Gina and Debbies cats are doing.
Gave Kiss another good cuddle, lifted her up above the pens so she could have a good look around to help settle any fears she may have, after all, it's her first show and we want her to enjoy her day.
10am - we all get asked to leave for judging of the open classes to take place. We all go for our breakfast and it's our chance to look at the catalogue to see who else has been entered, if we haven't already recognised them, or if there are some new cats we haven't seen before.
12.30pm - we are now allowed back with our cats/kittens. Straight to Kis to see how she is. Give her a cuddle and make sure she's settled and give her a little lunch. Although she seems quiet, she seems to be taking it in her stride.
Results are up - Kis has her first in her Open class and Best of Breed. She gets second in a side class. Nothing in the other two classes, but when you consider one has 14 entered and the other has12 entered she's done OK.
Long day and glad to be on our way home. Both Kis and myself had an enjoyable day.
