Question Re: Cat Show Help / Preperation
What a wonderful article - and just in time! I am entering my very first show this Saturday and Im so nervous that everytime I think about it, I feel sick!!

There seems to be so many things that I have to take with me, I have no idea how Im going to carry it all - plus of course my cat carrier!! Does anyone have any tips or advice they could share with me please?

Dana/Jane xx

Re: Cat Show Help / Preperation
Either have a small trolley to put everything on, or use a small suitcase on wheels. If you can get a carrier on wheels or with a shoulder strap even better. Whatever you choose theres not a tremendous amount of room under the pens.

Re: Cat Show Help / Preperation
What you may want to do is take the cat in to the show, vet in & pen her whilst you go back to your car for the rest. No real reason or need to struggle through it if you give yourself plenty of time. Usually, if you aim to get to a show well before vetting closes you will have ample time to set the cat/s up before the hall closes for judging.

Re: Cat Show Help / Preperation
great information thank you. looking forward to having a go with my new girlie but really wish you didn't have to stay the whole day! Why is it everybody has to stay until 5 or 5.30?

Re: Cat Show Help / Preperation
The catalogues usually say 5-5.30 but most of the time they will let you go at around 4.30, once all judging is finished and the public are no longer coming in.

Bobby's mode of transport from the car into the show hall.

Thats the 'official' end of the show (although it may end slightly earlier). Its out of curtesy to other exhibitors and any members of the public who have paid to get in. It would be a bit disappointing for them if they made the effort to come along only to find most of the cats had been packed up and taken home Best in Show is usually held at the very end and it isn't always decided til fairly late in the day who will be involved. How annoyed would you be if your cat was nominated for best in show and you'd already gone home! Hope you have a great show day
Steve - you spoil that cat!
