I just received a $2 off coupon for Sunday's show in my e-mail. If anyone else didn't get one, PM me with your e-mail address and I can forward it to you. Note that the forwarded e-mail coupon will only get you $1 off, but what the hey ....
As for the February cat show in San Francisco, I can definitely do the Sunday show; Saturday the 19th I'm busy. KAK is right about the San Mateo show - that one is not to be missed!
Edit: Well darn, the San Francisco show in February has been cancelled.
Thanks RedHedd, I've PMed you. Also, KAK...keep your eyes out for coupons in the paper as well;)
I can't wait! :D Shows are so much fun. Hmmm...I'm curious about the one in San Mateo. Is it a big one? We'll have to definitely plan a group outing for that one!
**hugs**
Thanks for posting those, KAK. Any of them look good to me. Just let me know which ones you all can attend. :)
RedHedd, I also received the same $2.00 off e-mail. I guess we now have to prove that we're on the list.:) I also have a $1.00 off coupon that I found in the Friday's Mercury News "Eye". It's on page 41. I can also bring this along and also another copy of my discount e-mail.:)
I'm getting very excited and I'm looking forward to this cat show.:)
Does anyone serve their cats 'Meow Mix' food? We received some for Christmas and I gave the kids some last night. I'd forgotten some of the nuggets are treated with red dye. Cassy doesn't do well with it. It's a 16 oz box, with 1 serving gone. It goes against the grain to throw it away. Please let me know and I'll bring it tomorrow.
Nope, no Meow Mix in our house. Sorry.
My boys are also on very strict urinary tract diets so no Meow Mix allowed in my house.;)
See you tomorrow. Yippee!
Just saw this thread. I'm thinking of coming to the show, but I'm singing in two services tomorrow and can't get there till after 1:00. But once I'm there, I'll look around for KAK, AmberLee and RedHedd.
Just be prepared to throw me to the ground if I start to buy any jewelry or tee shirts. :rolleyes: I'm BROKE!

Aren't you lucky I didn't see this post till we got home from the show?Quote:

Thanks to Mr. WolfLady, here are the PetTalkers in all our glory:
Left to right -- DonJuan'sMom; ReddHed; KrazyAboutKats; WolfLady; and AmberLee. Proof that the rain held off for a few minutes at least!
We were standing in front of ReddHed's new red car, isn't it gorgeous? So new she'd just put gas in it for the first time today!
Not all my photos turned out??? Here is a shot of Isis, a blue-eyed beauty up for adoption at the Humane Society's booth. WolfLady fell madly in love with her and wanted to take her home as a playmate for her Marius. (Wonder if he'd have been a thrilled?)
Here's a sample of the colors at the show. The rings and ribbons were in Burgundy, Black, White and Silver. Very elegant!
HERE's an example of the colors. D'oh!!!
It looks so wonderful!!! I'm so glad you all had fun.
Tell me. How was the SHOPPING?????
One of the vendors, Hidy-Tidy was selling some lovely cabinets that hid kitty litter pans. They seemed too big to me, but I fell madly in love with the tile trivets they were selling.
Cassy put his seal of a-paw-vral on this one:
This is what it looks like without a cat standing on it:
Here both trivets are sitting side by side with a tube of "Cat Candy" on it -
We had a good selection of vendors. Some I hadn't seen before. I'm guessing there were about 20 with wares as varied as cat furniture, snuggly beds, lots of shirt vendors, a cat-material seller for quilters and craft types, lots of jewelry vendors (you've GOT to see the gorgeous set KAK bought in saphire blue!!! Gorgeous), cat toy and suppliers.... Three different rescue groups were working together. This is the show that gives attendees a vote for best in show, too. We PTers went CRAZY with that one, as I'm sure you guessed! Oh! We talked KAK into trying French Vanilla cappachino (sp?) for the first time -- we might have made a convert to our favorite tipple! (WolfLady and I, I mean!)

Exxxxcccccceeeeelllent! The only thing that would have made it better was if you had made it, too. Bummer you weren't feeling up to it. Maybe the next cat show you can come up?
Oh, Eeeeeeddddddwina!!! One of the vendors had a selection of dozens and dozens of cat hats, each more gorgeous than the last. If I weren't quite so broke, I had a couple I was thinking of torturing Olivia with.... They were SO CUTE you can't believe it.
Here is the website for the Tile trivets , just to tantalize you!
The shot of the Sphinx being judged didn't turn out. :o :( but the sight of the judge holding his sweet little tiny tail and describing the fine points of it's muscalture (sp?) was exceedingly sweet.
And a gorgous gray tuxie girl, about 6 years old, won in household pets division. Simply gorgeous!
OMG! Thanks for posting the pictures Amberlee and taking a picture of Isis for me. She was just breathtaking. Can you imagine 2 white chugs??!! That would have been so cute. I guess that's why Aaron goes to these shows with me....to keep me in check. I would have adopted that cat in a heartbeat! :o
*swoon*
Kelly, there was an absolutely gorgeous fawn Somali! I think all of us PTers voted for her as spectator's choice! :D
The shopping was great! I was restricted (again, thanks to Aaron! :o LOL LOL) in the number of purchases, but there will be other catshows! I got myself a pair of cute little earrings. I should have bought one of the t-shirts I saw, but hopefully that vendor will be at the next show!
**hugs**
Great pics! I LOVE my new car! That was it's first "long" ride outside of San Francisco. I found myself "cruising" home at 80 mph! :eek:
NoahsMommy we all bought cat-themed earrings. I guess we'll all have to wear them at the Barbecue in July!
AmberLee I LOVE those trivets! I just might have to order some online!
We all fell in love with the Somalis. I went online to do more research. Petfinder has a few up for adoption, but they're all back east. Darn! Although I'm sure my two wouldn't want a new sibling!
A good time was had by all and now my two have gotten their obligatory after-cat-show grooming. No matter what I do, they will NEVER look like those show cats. I love them to bits anyway! :D
Sorry I couldn't make it to this one!! :( :( From the way the weather has been acting up the past couple of days (er.. weeks), and the shower forecasts, I just didn't trust the weather.
It looks like you guys had a lot of fun though.. I wish I could have made it! I will definitely try to make it to the next one! :D (The one in March?)
P.S.
I hope to see some of you next Monday, at the dog park meeting! :) http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...threadid=67627
Yes, we sure had a great time today. I wish it didn't have to end. Oh well, now back to reality.;) Thanks for posting the pictures AmberLee. I just wasn't in the mood to take pictures today.
I bought a very cute cat necklace and earrings to match. Here's a picture of it. It was hard to take a clear picture of it but the silver round things are little cat heads.

Here are the other 2 pairs of earrings that I bought. They're from Jewelia Designs and her web address is www.jfadams.net/Jewelia/.

The lady would also change the stone color for you if you wanted her too. So I picked out some of my favorite colors. RedHedd bought the same kind of earrings as the second cat earring picture only in gold.
And your jewelry is even cuter than the photos reflect. What fun memories they'll bring to you over the years!
