There are three cat shows posted in the near vacinity of San Jose, CA in the next few months.
Jan. 3 &4, 2004 at the San Jose Fairgrounds. Cat Fancy Assoc.
Apr. 3 &4, 2004 at the Pleasanton Fairgrounds. Cat Fancy Assoc.
Jun 5 & 6, 2004, location TBD (probably San Jose?). TICA
KAK and I have talked by phone and are planning on attending at least the first one. PM either of us, or post here if you would like to car pool or meet us there.
The first one looks very doable to me right now. I can't think far enough ahead to April or June, but because they're on a weekend and in the SF Bay Area .... put me down as a "definitely maybe" for those. I haven't been to a cat show in EONS! This will be fun! YAY! :)
Oops, missed your response. Sounds great!
I look forward to going to the one on Jan.3rd or 4th. I always have a great time.:D
KAK and I compared notes and would like to go on Sat. 3 Jan -- be there when it opens (probably 9 a.m.) if all goes according to plan.
Does this work for you, too, RedHedd?
10:00'ish would be better as I have to drive down from the City. Takes about an hour and I don't like getting up at the crack o' dawn on Saturdays. I'll look up directions on the 'net.
What if we meet at the cat show itself then? We could pick a meeting place like Ring One at 10:30 (would this give you enough time to look around?) for instance.
KAK and I are Cat Show fanatics, you could recognize us from our photos here and the gleam in our eyes/ digital cameras slung around our necks. {grin!}
[Just rereading this thread and was SHOCKED at my bad grammar; wish I could claim it was a typo. sigh!]
Do these shows ever have a suitable category for a felis tabbyus giganticus ? Like the one I've got reclining on my iMac at this very moment?
Not sure if I can make the show. I'm unemployed :mad: at the moment and Jan. 3 & 4 are just a little too close to rent day.
NOTE: Don Juan is NOT fat. He's long enough to put his paws in the small of my back when he wants my attention. ;) I'm watching his rations, ever since nice Dr. J. suggested that he was getting a little plump.:rolleyes:
uh-oh he just fell off! :eek:

That sounds perfect. I'll PM you my phone #s.Quote:

TOP CATS WITHOUT HATS COMPETE IN SAN JOSÉ
Hundreds of fancy felines are traveling to San José to compete for “Top Cat” at the 20th Annual Tails & No Tales Cat Show. Although these cats are not in hats they are combed, fluffed and groomed to a T and ready to strut for the judges to see. This competition is big they say, the largest cat show in the entire South Bay. You’ll see Persians, Siamese and Ocicats too or perhaps the mysterious Birman's for you. With 33 distinctive breeds the show will have cats to suit everyone's needs.
The cat show is open to the public Saturday, January 3, 2004 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday, January 4, 2004 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds, 344 Tully Road, San José. Admission is $7 for adults, $5 for seniors, and $3 for children under 12.
In addition to the judging activities, which will take place throughout the show, you will have the opportunity to see the cats up close while they are waiting to compete and ask the exhibitors any questions you may have. There will also be a wide variety of cat-related items, such as grooming supplies, toys, cat trees and gift items for sale. Little cat lovers are invited to participate in our coloring contest and have their pictures displayed at the show. In addition, you will also have an opportunity to participate in our Peoples Choice Award and vote for your favorite cat.
Proceeds from previous shows have been donated to non-profit organizations such the Winn Feline Foundation, Cat Purebred Rescue, Town Cats of Morgan Hill and the Humane Society of Santa Clara Valley.
Tails & No Tales Cat Club is a member of the Cat Fanciers Association. CFA, a non-profit organization dedicated to the welfare of cats, was founded in 1906 and is the world's largest pedigreed cat registry.

I've never been to a cat show! I wish I could go. Jan is to busy for me, but maybe the later ones.
Oh, this is the show that does the People's Choice awards? I LOVE that contest! Double yippees!!
Hi DJ's mom --
Would love to meet up with you. Sorry that the timing's bad for you. Maybe one of the ones in the spring will be better for you.
Sunday's SJ Mercury News has a dollar-off ad for the "Tails and No Tails" show January 3 & 4. It's in section E (Arts & Entertainment) on page 4, next to the CD reviews.
Don Juan wants to know why I have to go and look at any other cats when I have HIM.
Liz
Hee, hee, hee. And from a cat's perspective, this is a TOTALLY understandable question.Quote:

Oh! Wolflady PMd me. She'd love to join us, but she's working until 1:30 on Saturday. Assuming she can leave directly after work, she still can't make it until 2:30. Do you think we have the stamina to hold out till she gets there?
She was wondering if we could go Sunday instead? Sunday is do-able for me, but not nearly as good for my schedule as Saturday. Thoughts?
