Tabby Point Siamese Show....


Red made his show debut yesterday at the Tabby Point Siamese Show, with a strange outcome!!!

It has transpired that Red isn't actually a red tabby point he's a cream tabby point (which is a dilute of red!)

Due to this, he wasn't placed in any classes except one side class (where he came second out of 5 cats), which was quite a disappointment However, I spoke to some of the judges afterwards and it was indicated that had he been registered correctly he would have done really well, perhaps even making best of breed!!

So, I'll be re-registering him and taking him back out to a show as soon as possible!!!

Here are some pics of yesterday............

That must have been confusing and frustrating. He is very beautiful and looks like he was well behaved

Whatever colour he's supposed to be, he is still a winner in my eyes Charlie!

These colours can be so confusing I think Fran had the same problem over colour with Bliss, didn't she?

I have no idea on breed colours etc but is a shame there was confusion and he didn't win.

Gorgeous cat

It is confusing, Mags!!!

Red's can come in different shades/brightnesses too - so I just thought he wasn't a vert bright red, or that it hadn't developed much yet. I never considered that he could be a cream

Yes, Fran did have a similar problem with Bliss. From what I gathered at yesterday's show - it can happen quite a bit. At least I'm finding out now though and it's still early days.

As always - I know I brought the best cat home with me!!!

Still a good experience for his first show, and now "red" is "cream," he can start winning!

How frustrating for you, Charlie, but it's early days, and once he's reregistered it will be a whole new ballgame! Rosettes galore!

Aww Charlie that must have made you feel both bad and good! Yes confusing to say the least. A good pointer for the future shows though. Well done.

Re: Tabby Point Siamese Show....


What a shame Charlie but at least you have got it sorted while he is still a kitten. The reds and creams can be very difficult to identify the correct colour because of the range of red/cream. You can have a hot cream or a pale red. All very confusing.

He is gorgeous though and I am sure he will excel at his next show.
