I'm going to a cat show this weekend (meeting up with another TCS member) and we were wondering if it is likely they will let us take pictures. Anyone know?
Here in NZ you don't need to ask the owner if a picture needs to be taken. It's usually sort of flattering.Originally Posted by GoldenKitty45
Sure - if you are taking pictures in the benching area, just ask the owner if you can take a picture of their cat. In the judging rings, its ok, but do NOT use a flash when you take the picture.
Where's the show and what association?
Its the Hamilton Cat Fanciers Cat Show in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. I am meeting Imunsie (owned by Kismet and Cello). This will be our very first cat show and we are both very excited.Originally Posted by GoldenKitty45

I would definitely ask before just assuming I could take a photo. My hubby loves Abyssinians so I hope there are some at the show.Originally Posted by GoldenKitty45
I just think its polite to ask first. After all, the owner might position the cat a little better for a good picture for you. And when people have wanted Charlie's picture, they always ask first.
Yes, try to touch a Sphynx - first touch is probably the strangest feeling to pet a cat with no furAnd compare to a Cornish if there is one. People are shocked to find how soft they are cause they usually think they are course or wire feeling or something. Let me know if any Oci's are at the show (don't think there will be).
Of course! Unfortunately, with my senior moments unless I write down these things, they get trapped inside my brain never to see the light of day again.Originally Posted by GoldenKitty45
Sounds like you had a great time getting to see them all. Am surprised and pleased there was two Oci's there. Did you happen to ask the colors? Can't wait for the pics
