Thread: Mr Marshall Bravestarr has his first show in 3 days!

The very very best of luck to you both....
One very important thing missing for your list is vaccination record,my friend & I always say as long as you have the cat & vacc record you can beg,steal or borrow everything else from people at the show or even buy it...!
I always say to people the first show is a learning curve & all the cats seem to have certain amount of days they need for the coat to settle after a bath,I find it is better with mine to have a whole day afterwards for them to dry,especially if they don't like a hairdryer & on that day do nothing to them,then the next day have a good grooming session,comb them through,slicker brush them up,use a bit of grooming powder in important places if necessary & then hopefully on the day except for a little bit of primping you don't have to worry too much at all.... Is your breeder going to help you with the bathing for the first time or are you going in at the deep end......
With the nails I always find it a help to do them a few days before the bath & they then wear down any rough bits but yep remember to have them with you on the day too.
He looks a super fella & the best of luck to you both,if you are doing the bathing remember to rinse,rinse,rinse & when you think you have done enough rinse again then what I think is the most important thing is take note of his coat from day 1 & I bet there will be a day when you think cor he looks good wish it was the show today & then work back from that to his bath day,when they are younger & the coats finer they do seem to settle quicker but my adult brown boy needs a Weds bath for a Sat or Sunday show,my new girl I done two days before the first two times but she always seemed to look better with an extra day so she too now gets her bath on the Wednesday,as I said earlier all a learning curve....
Have fun,enjoy & photos please....xxx
