Hi. Anyone that loves cat shows must go see this one:International Cat Show. It's in San Mateo from Nov.17-19th. It's only held once a year and it's usally held in different locations. They also had it here last year and I went and enjoyed it very much. I hope that some of you will be able to attend this year.
Just let me know which day we all agree on. I've been wanting to go to a cat show soon and now we can! YIPPEE!
Thanks for letting us all know about this, Tracey! I'm would like to go this year, so let's decide what day would work best for everyone!
**hugs**

I have a cat-loving friend who wants to join us, but she's only available to go on Sunday.
I'm available either Sat. or Sun. so either day will work for me. If we go on Sunday then we would be able to see which cat gets "Best In Show" and also which are the best in the other categories if we stay long enough.:) I'm really looking forward to this show.:) I guess I'll have to call AmberLee about it because she's not online very much any more.
I just wanted to bump this thread up and let you know that I talked to AmberLee today and she'll be able to go either on Sat. or Sun.:) She'll either call me or e-mail me to let me know the details. Her computer is still down so she has very limited online time right now.
I think Sunday will work better for me, as I'm working at the vet hospital on the 18th (that Saturday).
Would anyone want to go on Sunday?
**hugs**
I can go either Sat. or Sun. and I think that RedHedd said that her friend could only go on Sunday so that's the day that she'll probably be going. I received an e-mail from AmberLee but she still doesn't know which day she'll be going. If she can only go on Sat. then I may end up going both days.:) Don Juan's Mom is also interested but I haven't heard when she can go yet. It's almost November so we really need to get this mini PT meeting organized.:) I can't wait for the cat show.:D
Sunday also works for me :D
Yippee skippees. I've been on the phone w/KAK and it's tentatively agreed that she and I and the lady I'll be rooming with that weekend will be going both days.
I was so pleased that they'll be hosting another feline agility exhibit again. I've only seen it once, but it amuses and intrigues me so... I know Livvy and Cassy COULD do it, although I don't think either WOULD do, especially in public. (Nothing like a cat, eh?)
So Sunday will be the primary PT sociallizing day, it sounds like.
Don't forget the online coupon for $1 off entries. I think we all love bargins. And maybe the Metro will have coupons, too?
I can't wait.:D I had a blast last year and I know I'll have even more fun this year. There's so much to see and breeds of cats that I've never seen at cat shows before.:)
What time will every one be arriving? We should set up a meeting place because it's a very large show.
Terrific! Sunday it is! What time are y'all getting there?
My surgeon has given me permission to travel......should I or shouldn't I????? :confused: ;) It all depends on cost at the moment. Not promising anything but looking into it. :D
Aw c'mon Slick! Just Do It! :D
It would be wonderful to see you again.:D I hope that you'll be able to make it.:)Quote:

I'm not sure now. I want to investigate the cost of going to Columbia Falls, MT for Corinna's service. Realistically, it would only be about a 10 hour drive across BC then whip across the border to MT. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do. :(
I certainly understand. Keep us posted - although I KNOW you will.Quote:

She's often had assignments for her church on Sunday... I'm guessing she won't be free till 11 so we can't get there until 12:30 or 1 or so... I'll try to get in touch by phone with Carla and KAK tonight.
Cool, I'm glad that Sunday will be the primary meeting day, but that's cool for those of you going both days! :D
I'm thinking 1pm would be a pretty good time to meet up. I may bring a friend who has never been to a cat show before with me if I can convince him to come along.
Is there a website and directions somewhere?
**hugs**
Karen, I'm glad that you'll be able to make it on Sunday.:) The link to the International Cat Show is on page one and is in the first post.;)
The website includes a $1/person coupon; do look around for it!
12:00'ish (or later) will be fine for me too on Sunday. I'm going to try and bring a couple of friends who have never been to a cat show either.
Do let us know if you decide to come, although it would be nice to go to Corinna's service too.Quote:

:o
For a 1pm meet-up time, where would be a good place to hook up?
**hugs**
Like we did in the past - at the registration table right up front?
Sounds good to me! :D
Hmmm...they don't have rescues or Russian Blue kitties available for adoption at these things, do they?? :p
I don't know if they have rescues but I think that they usually have different breeds for sale in both cats and kittens.:)Quote:

My male Tomo was entered last year as well as the father to one of other kittens I have entered this years. I have included a photo of Tomo.Quote:

Tomo sure is handsome.:) I'll be sure to be on the look out for him.:)
Thanks for the compliments on Tomo, but he will not be there this year, but one of his daughters will be, Kia Kaha (which means be strong in Maori) will be. She is a black smoke with gold eyes.Quote:

I'm going to be house manager at a show in Palo Alto on Sunday, so I would probably want to go Saturday after my audition at noon.
BTW, there is a print ad with a $1 discount on admission in today's San Jose Mercury News.

Welcome to Pet Talk, LaPermCats! :D You will love it here. We will all definitely stop by to see you at the show. I really find it fascinating to talk with breeders of show cats and would love to see Kia Kaha in "purrson" ;)
All, just FYI, I'm supposed to find a lady named Marva in the Orientals isle of the show. She has an available oriental, and several kittens, and this is another breed I have always loved along with the Russian Blue. She said she would be happy to talk to me about the breed and if it would be a good fit for me :D Who wants to come with me? :p
The available kitty is Zephyr, and you can find him on the Kittens page. Click on the Kittens link in the nav bar on the left, and scroll down. He's underneath Midas, who has already found a home.
