Details: January Cat Show, San Jose, CA

[RedHedd]

Nope, no Meow Mix in our house. Sorry.

[krazyaboutkatz]

My boys are also on very strict urinary tract diets so no Meow Mix allowed in my house.

[AmberLee]

See you tomorrow. Yippee!

[Don Juan's mom]

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. I'm BROKE!

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

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!

[AmberLee]

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?)

[AmberLee]

Here's a sample of the colors at the show. The rings and ribbons were in Burgundy, Black, White and Silver. Very elegant!

[AmberLee]

HERE's an example of the colors. D'oh!!!

[NoahsMommy]

It looks so wonderful!!! I'm so glad you all had fun.

Tell me. How was the SHOPPING?????

[AmberLee]

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:

[AmberLee]

This is what it looks like without a cat standing on it:

[AmberLee]

Here both trivets are sitting side by side with a tube of "Cat Candy" on it -

[AmberLee]

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?

[AmberLee]

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!
