Thread: ulster siamese and all breed cat show 2/11/2013

We had our annual show today! unfortunately zelda had to be withdrawn as the vet wasn't happy with her ear( over produces wax) but Mr Marshall Bravestarr did amazingly well! He got his 1st in open breed class ( his 2nd PC) and a 1st and 3rd in the side classes! Poor Marshall was very stressed today though, i think possibly because Zelda wasn't there and that he just doesn't like to be shown so I'm debating wether we try for the 3rd PC to get his Premier Title and then stop showing or just stop showing now.

just editing pics so ill post them up in a bit!

Very well done Marshmallow!

Very well done Mr M {was waiting for photos to be posted before posting.....!!!!!!} what a shame about Zeldas ears,if they were just ordinarily waxy I think it was a bit mean to vet her out as infected/mites cause real black sticky type wax but....... In fact I always thought if one cat out of a household was vetted out for anything that could be deemed infectious then any other animal from the same household had to be vetted out too so does seem a bit strange but a jolly good job they didn't.... We persevered with Merlyn to get him made up to a premier champion,he hated it bless him & I always tried to get as many of his side classes with the same judge that he had for the main part in the hope that they wouldn't want to get him out for side classes,sometimes it worked others it didn't..... we then intended retiring him from showing altogether when someone suggested FiFE & he bloomed,the fact that you handle your cat & no one else unless they make BIS panel is so much more relaxing for them....Merl made it right to the top so might be worth trying a different format.......
Will pop back again & see if photos have arrived.........xxx

thanks for the info jckerrison! the vet was really rude about the whole thing and yes my thoughts exactly why let one cat in! the same vert also pulled another MC out of the show into isolation as he had a twitchy eye after the opens had been judged! zelda has been to the vets 3 times about her ear been on all the meds nothing helps.... just over produces the stuff! we dont have fife shows here yet so maybe if they start i might consider it, we have tica but it involves too long of a journey. we did have a holisitic craft fair in the other half of the hall and a lot of cat owners said their cats were "off" that day... maybe a scent set them of?

heres a few pics!
1. marshall the grump!
2. my friends "moggy" who shows some real MC traits
3. BIS winner
4. princess my fav russian blue

6 - my friends sphynx kitties
7 - shadow the maine coon owned by my breeders ( marshall beat him!)

also some at home shots since the kitties are more themselves and dont look grumpy ( well apart from zelda "screaming" at the camera)!

awwwww I always love to see pics of those two - I am sorry for the favoritism, but especially likkle Zelda who I have a soft spot for, being Mini-Coon and all that...
also, I did go on your blog a few times, Christine - love that video of them helping you put your laces on.... ;-)
cuddles to both!
