hi i have only shown once under gccf so a newbie. whatis the diff -tica and fife. do you have to dress the pen in curtains and drapes as i have heard. only want to show my girl

Hi,

You don't have to if you don't want to, its just a bit of fun. You could just put the basics in the pen and no one would worry.Or even just a basic set of curtains for the front. I must admit I really enjoy using the drapes, the other option is using a sturdi shelter, the good thing with Tica shows is you can just ask for benching space and put a sturdi on the bench.

They aren't cheap but they are extremely useful in the fact that they are your own pen so you know that no other cat has been in them, thus reducing the risk of your cat getting any sort of infection. They are like pop up tents and are in various colours and patterns.You can even secure them on the back seat of a car and the cat can travel to the show in them which means you can have a litter tray in use. I have two and would not be without them now. This is a known supplier of sturdi shelters in the UK http://www.kit4kats.co.uk/shop/sturdi.php. If you decide to look at drapes I have to recommend Anna Davidson, I have several sets of her drapes and she can make them as fancy or as basic as you like. Take a look, they are seriously addictive lol http://www.classycatdesigns.co.uk they are very reasonably priced too. If you want to try a Tica show you maybe even able to borrow a set just to see if your girl likes the Tica/fb way of showing before you commit to buying any.

hi so i wouldnt feel out of it if i didnt dress pen up. what goes in the pen as only got all white. might be best if igo along and look first at a fife

hi thks very much for info. will go to a fife show and have a look. still unsure as what diff is. the drapes look fantastic on that site not sure if for me. be best if did a show to borrow a set but where from

Hi,

You could ask on here,Im sure someone could bring some to a show for you.Its too bad Im over here because I could lend you a set,I have lots lol.

For your first show you could just put gccf blankets in the pen, I even know someone who just had Anna make them a set of single drapes.

Good luck. If you have any more questions then there are a few folk on here who do FB and Tica, do you have a show lined up yet?
