Pictures From The Pleasanton Cat Show

[RedHedd]

Ooh Yes! There were sphinxes! Two of them - one reminded me of MooShoo, but they were hidden behind that dark screening that some of the show cages have and almost impossible to get a good picture of. I wanted to pet one, but their owners were nowhere to be seen - probably in the judging rings.

That bunny-butt Japanese Bobtail (male named Kirby) was SO entertaining and playful and another one we got to pet. His brother was a cute, odd-eyed orange and white with a little orange tail pom-pom.

Oops, I goofed up what was supposed to be a group picture when WolfLady and NoahsMommy arrived...



GinasArkInc turned out well, WolfLady's not bad, KAK's turned away. You can almost see RedHedd and Noah'sMommy behind the front row. Sorry guys...

Here is the odd-eyed Japanese Bobtail at play. He and his brother had DELIGHTFUL personalities. Isn't he a cutie-pie?

Another view of Bobtail being enticed to play...

Arrgh. This little cutie-pie LOVES to go riding on Meowmie's shoulder. We loved this little guy to pieces. I'm forgetting his breed though... He's a something Brown, and the most beatiful, smooth pelt you can imagine.

We greatly admired how handsome he stood out against his Meowmie's spring green top!

This is just a 'mood' shot showing how the judging booths were decorated. They had a basic theme of 'April showers bring May flowers' with decorated hats, shiny glass beads to represent rain drops, and cascades of flowers up the light supports. Each judge had a different color, and each judge also had a different color ribbon to present... Mainly pastels.

Very eye-catching and effective.

A cat, and meowmy, leaving the ring ... a view of the yellow judges ribbons on the display rack.

This cat looks like the Abby called "Eric the Red" that we loved on earlier, but now my memory's playing up...

Great pictures. Looks like you all had a good time.

Nice to see all you lovely ladies too!

[shais_mom]

great pics!!
Looking forward to hearing about the weekend and seeing the pics!

[RedHedd]

Great pics, AmberLee! That beautiful brown kitty was a Havana Brown - I wanted to pet him so bad! His fur was so sleek and shiny!

[AmberLee]

Havana Brown ... I KNEW it was a place name Brown, but couldn't for the life of me remember.

Blessings for relieving my mind!

Hee, hee.

Oh, and yes this is the cat show that has the book sale as an extra fund raiser. I resisted to a certain extent, and merely got 24 books.* (Probably the most in our little group...)

NoahsMommy and WolfLady were interested in the books, too. I didn't notice if the others in our group did, too.

* Mainly mysteries, and many with an animal them. One book WL urged me to get was "Thor", which apparently has been enthusiastically endorsed here at Pet Talk!

Looks like alot of fun! I'm sorry that I didn't make it. I went skydiving in Santa Rosa that day...I was 2 1/2 hours late to that reservation, so there was no way I was going to make it to the cat show. Maybe next time!

[Killearn Kitties]

It looks great! Lots of lovely cats to cuddle and admire. Wish I'd been there!
