Guess what we saw at the Supreme

lol Sarah, those with hundreds of rosettes were a bit OTT weren't they. So glad I got to meet you and the gorgeous Quando yesterday. Beautiful boy!

As were Kays Kisses and Cory. Stunning kitties! Very lovely to meet you too yesterday Kay (even thought I am still trying to get my head round the genetics thing lol)

i looked for Cory & kisses, but had forgotten what pens Kazz had said they were in.

As for colour genetics, I gave up on that years ago, I've reaslied I just don't get it & I don't really need it either.

Lots of people stopped to read it and ask about the breed and the local breeder had done leaflets which I handed out so for us the publicity generated for our breed by boards was invaluable.

HOWEVER I only put 3 Intermediate Certificates up and corresponding rossies - I did rather think as on one board 22 Premier Certificates was excessive and showed they are unsporting by continuing to show in that class when attained the title instead of moving up?

For me this was Quando's bowing out of competitive showing under GCCF until the breed attains championship status to allow other cats to attain the ICs required.

The downside was that people felt the need to shove their faces to Q's pen to look at him and despite announcements asking people not to pet cats through the cages people kept sticking their fingers in

I think the Supreme should have ropes up like in museums beyond which only owners can go as all the announcements about being considerate to the cats seemed to go ignored

I agree with the rope idea totaly stop people touching the cages. And the idea of the board "informing about the breed" is great I mean me and Alex were totaly lost at some points and Alex had to read what breed we were looking at and we thought we knew. But were wrong on serveral occasions.

Your board was great Sarah and Quando is a gorgeous cat.

You should have rung Alex and we could have refered to the oracle ie my envelope with info of cages on.

Cory and Kisses are stunning.

Thanks Kazz.

It would have been lovely to see you Kelly but I didn't have any time to look around the stalls. Both Cory and Kisses were quite far apart and then I my friend had her colourpoint there who I bred and also the Colourpoint Cat Club stall. So I spent most of the day going backwards and forwards.
I had a look at Quando, Sarah, he is very stunning but unfortunately you weren't there. I did intend going back but you know what it is like.
It was lovely to meet Alex, Kazz, Charlie, Jac and of course Cellidah. Sorry I misse Erin, Elaine and Dawn.

I did enjoy myself though.

As said to Kazz, that is very deceptive; they are as tough as old boots! Although they can very cleverly play on that image: oh the sweet, wee little kitty...they are a smart breed,,
Sorry to hear about the pain, and hope you're feeling much better today......
