I've found that it's ok to take pics, but to be polite it's always best to ask first. If no one was around, I have taken pics without permission, but if someone is around, it's just polite to ask. But for the most part, people are more than happy to show off their babies.

I agree with Moosmom, you need to check out the Sphynxes and the Rex's. They are definitely different and really neat to see in person.

Here are a few pics of my mom's Ragdoll. I call him Cranker because he is such a cranky kitty. The complete opposite of everything you've ever heard about Ragdolls.






As you can see, he's a very beautiful cat, he just doesn't have the personality to match his looks.

sasvermont also had a Ragdoll named Gabe who, unfortunately, was needed at RB. If you do a search for Gabe, you should be able to see pics of him. His personality was similar to the Crankers, but he was a great cat and it was a huge loss for SAS and us here at PT when he passed away. RIP Gabe.

But you'll have a blast at the show. Another interesting breed we saw at the last one we went to was a Maui something or other. Very exotic looking. But I prefer the big ol' Maine Coones. Big fluffy cats - you gotta love 'em.
