Tubby & Peanut's Mom,

I've shown MooShoo and Maya Linn at cat shows. They normally don't allow exhibitors to leave the building until the show is over with.

The best time to get there is noon. If you get there when the doors open, most of the exhibitors are too busy preparing and grooming their cats to stop and talk to you. Plus they're not that great about letting you pet their animals. BTW, ALWAYS ask if you may pet them first. People are REAL funny about that too. Some will say no, but MOST are very accommodating, as long as you use a hand sanitizer (take some with you or, sometimes they'll have it on hand).

I absolutely LOVE going to cat shows, and miss showing my two champs. It can be VERY expensive to show them. And I think it's more for breeders than anything else.

I enjoy talking to the different cat breeders (especially the Sphynx breeders), asking them questions about the care of the Mooman.

Go, have a GREAT time and don't forget to take pictures!!! Make sure you look for the Sphynx and Devon Rex cats (Devon Rex is basically a Sphynx with short wavy fur).
