Same here - I get to shows fairly early as I have a stall and the cat(s) - so happy to help set up and whatnot - my next show is the Blackpool and Preston in March (Preston), then Northern Birman Club in April (Sheffield)

I follow a 3 show rule to see if they like it

Gypsy's next show will be her deciding show - she enjoyed her first show but hid under her vet-bed for the second show - so Preston will let me know whether or not she enjoys it

Indy is a complete hussy and loves it now I give him a double pen - single pens are too small for him to move/stretch so he got stressed.

Hi Jo , heres a pic of Ozzy at a recent show, and this is how he is at all of his shows lol very relaxed, as you see the pen door is open but he makes no effort to run off , we are usually sat next to his pen chatting with him etc, Sometimes when we remember to take it we attach a purpose made shelf to the front of his pen and he will stretch out on it and lay there quite happily.good luck........Chris.

Ive taken 2 of mine to shows and they were like chalk and cheese

Rex who is the most sociable creature at home loving cuddles and attention absolutely hated the shows, and spent more time hissing and spitting. I took him twice and decided to call it a day as he obviously wasnt happy.

Pinky Dinky on the other hand was a real diva when she went out, wanted to come out and greet everyone. When the novelty of strangers cuddles and stroke wore off she was happy just to sit on my knee and watch the world go by.


They are all different so just go out and give it a try, i didnt have a mentor either, I got some great advice on here and just went for it

The Club website is a bit out of date at the moment but the show is on the 25th March 2012 at Preston College, St Vincents Road, Fulwood. Entry details and forms should be out early in the new year but the GCCF site is a good one to see what is on where and when the details (schedules etc) are out the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy

If you want any more details on the club let me know - I am on the committee

Thank you
