OMG...the cat show was such and eye-opener for me, and I can tell ya that Amberlee is such a sweetheart!!! We had a blast!! Good recap on the show, girl!! LOL LOL We were entertained for a good 6 hours there, and the surprising thing is that it was a pretty small show...not like the huge ones that will have every breed of cat. I would really like to go to a big show to see what the difference is, and see all of the breeds. In any case, we'll definitely go to another show when one comes around!!
I was really surprised at seeing some of the cats "in person". A lot of them like the Bengals and the oriental shorthairs and Abbys(did you know they came in 4 colors??!!) were a lot smaller than I imaged them to be...of course, I've only seen pics of them. So, it was really neat to see what they looked like close up. Amberlee is right...I was so taken with some of the cats that was there with the SFO Persian rescue (they have all kinds of cats along with persians). There was this absolutely sweet himilayan cutie that I would have taken in a heartbeat. We also fell in absolute LOVE with the ragdoll kitties! Oh! So gorgeous!!! There was this lady that was showing ragdolls, and she was very nice. My mom and I talked to her a few times, and she laughed when she saw us walking by her kitties again! LOL LOL I said I had to have one last look before we left!
I always imagined people involved in show would be a little snooty, and granted...I did see some people that were like that, I also met some really nice people that were showing (like the lady with the ragdolls), and there were quite a few people that were really informative if you asked questions. So, all in all, my first cat show experience was a positive one, and you could tell the people showing their cats really loved them! I told Amberlee that I should enter my Marius in the HHP (house hold pet) competition! LOL LOL
There were lots of neat little booths with cat products and collectibles, and I gave in and splurged and bought a "cat lamp" candle holder and a really nice soft bed for my baby. Those cat trees that Amberlee mentioned were absolutely gorgeous! The prices were really reasonable too! I collected quite a few cards and stuff, so I'll post any URLs that I may have from my collection for ya'll to look at!!
Anyway, I should get off of here for now...but I just had to drop in and say hello and tell you all that that cat show was a blast and I'd definitely go again!!! Ya gotta come out for a visit Purrley!!Miss you!
