Another great show - competition (numbers) between the lower Fargo show and the higher Minneapolis show.
8 out of 8 rings for finals again. So he was 22 out of 24 rings with finals for his 3 kittens shows. Average (for kitten score) - 34.6 - puts him about 10th/11th for the region (based on last year's scores) and not sure what nationally. It would probably be 21-30th nationally. He SHOULD take Best Ocicat Kitten Region and Nationally.
Of course we have no idea for the rest of the season in the kitten class, so we will see.
Here's the breakdown:
Saturday: 6th Best AB kitten (Julie Nicholls, Australian judge)
10th Best AB Kitten
3rd Best AB Kitten
3rd Best Specialty Kitten
Sunday: two 6th Best AB Kitten
5th Best AB Kitten
5th Best SP Kitten
While he made 8 out of 8, he was NOT in a good mood. There were a lot of females in heat (kitten and adult) and it just made him more hissy, etc. in almost every ring. We did our best to separate them as much as possible.
So he's on vacation from shows till in August now - get the chance to settle down and then hit the adult alter classes. Hopefully in a few shows he will collect the 6 finals he needs - he did very well as a kitten making top 5 AB, hope he can repeat that in the adult classes where it really counts.
Our Ocicat friend from Florida brought her 8 month old girl (championship) who was coming into heat (didn't help Jack much being right next to her). She did very well - her girl got the required 6 finals! So she will go to the next show to collect the rest of winners ribbons and be a 2 show Grand! Ann was very pleased and we finally got to meet in person.
