When is your first show? Kitten season is a quick 4 months so you probably already have a few hundred points by now and are getting ready to move into CH. My Siberian spay is 8th in Region 1-9 Premiership, wrapping up the season for her second and final national win. Just 3 shows left for...

"Been to a cat show"....then the next logical step is to focus on your education. I suggest finance or software for the highest earning potential, flexible hours, and lowest debt. Becoming a veterinarian....if you are in the top 2% of your undergraduate class you have a good chance of being...

As long as she is altered by 8 months and is never declawed, the household pet (also known as companion cat) class is perfect for her. Start bathing her every few weeks to get accustomed to a beauty routine. I have never gotten bitten or scratched b/c my cats were trained to tolerate the baths...

@vansX2 , you should show your Turkish Vans in CFA - there are 2 show in MSP (Sept and Jan), and then numerous others in IA, KS, MO, IL, WI, etc. We'd love to see you there... they would be the only Turkish Vans that I have seen in 15 years, I think. This year there were zero Turkish Vans shown...

The result! Not too thrilled the one is going to sport the meatloaf pose for her Regional Winner plaque/website photo, but maybe next year she will want to stand up.

I express them at home. Warning sign it needs to be done is runny stool. Then I peek at that area when he is walking with his tail up, which is how he always walks. If I can see the glands (slightly open holes), I need to express them. Then they will return to their usual state - no hole...

Larry Johnson is the show photographer. He doesn't have a color palette on his site like some of the others, but I will certainly ask his opinion. I have seen brown tabby MC and NFC on red and it looks nice. I'm sure whatever we come up with will be great - much better than anything I could...

I have had 4 LH and 1 SH cat. I prefer LH b/c of the breeds I like - they are more laid back and quiet than the oriental breeds. My one LH had the "wrong fur type", so while it was luxuriously soft and fluffy, she had matts on her hips and underarms even though I brushed her every few days. I...

All of my cats have always had green backdrops for their portraits. It looks nice, but I'd like to try something new. Next month my 2 Siberians will get new portraits. Any opinions on a different background color for this guy (the collage)? Here he is as a RW kitten, GC, and soon to be GP. My...

NFC are pretty rare. I have had 2, and could not find one within 10 hr drive that met my standards for type and was not closely related to my first one who died of HCM Featherland, Lostwoods, Angel forest, Catequil, Oklahomacats are all great. So I switched to Siberians. Slava and Charodey...

I have only owned Siberians and Norwegian Forest Cats, and I don't know if their coat is greasier than Ragdolls, but I always bathe 2 days before the show, but that is after having bathed them a week before the show and three weeks before. I degrease (Dawn), then shampoo, then use color...
