Does anyone think i should show him?

Welcome, what breed is Topaz (I love that name) , is he a pedigree cat or do you want to show him as a house hold pet.
Showing is a lot of work. I will give you an idea of what i have to do for a show.
~ Get ready the show curtains and brushes and combs.
~ Food and water packed
~ Litter box
~ Then clip the nail. A must!
~ Then Bath the cat.
~ When I show a cat he/she has to have a bath
~ Shampooing several times to be sure they are squicky clean and rinsed for at least 15 minutes to get all the shampoo out.
~ Drying the cat and making sure that the coat looks its best.
~ You do not want to show a dirty cat You want them to look their very best. With Jaxon it takes over 2 hours to groom!
~ After grooming you do not want to handle to much because you can transfer the oil from your hand to the coat.
~ Show here run from $45 to $48 per cat to show.
~ But once you get to the show it is alot of fun.
~ New friends to make, cats to look at, things to buy or not.
~ You don't always win so being a good looser is a great lesson to learn.
~ When you do win a ring, you know all your work you did was well worth it.
~ But the best thing is to have fun, winning is not everything.
~ Loving your cat because in your eyes he is the best there is.
~ I would go to a show and ask questions and watch first to see if it is something you really want to do.
~ You have to be willing to do what it takes to show a cat. Alot of work is needed. Bathing can be fun but not always.

Let me know if you have any questions. I have a show coming up the end of the month and I will be showing Jaxon, Sanuye, and "Q". Boy what a day I will have bathing the three of them, I hope the dryer holds out. I know I have enough Cat Shampoo to last

Good Luck,
Stella
