Torties are one on their own I really hope she continues to behave her self as she will be shown at more shows in the future they have a real taste for it now.
The report on her is excellent 1 she was shown in the class 3-6 months!, and the comments on her coat have way surpassed anything we could imagine, Amber wanted to keep her but then we had not got a new boy lined up.. shame really but she has a fabulous home and thats what matters!!
:smile:
Congratulations Amber on your breeding lines,what a stunner,you can see not only the pride but the love in the face of the owner,what a day for you all....x
Van harte gefeliciteerd met het mooie resultaat - to both you ladies, and the gorgeous Ember of course.:smile:
Well done, Amber, and to mum for her guidance!
She is itching to get on here but she is class.. to top it all she got a 9.5 for her Dutch things can not get better for her today!
Also the Owner Sandy is going to send us the taped report and written report, its in Dutch but its something to keep... I thought they would not be allowed to show her as she had a couple of week before been spayed but they did!!
You must be a very proud mum, Debbie :smile:
Congratulations, that's fab news - bet you are both very proud indeed!
Simply beautiful ! congratulations to you both x
Thank you all for your nice words I am so please I had a great day at school I have got the highest marks in Dutch, and I am the only non Native and my girl did so well, nothing could be nicer than this xxxxx AJ:nod:
I am very proud of her!! she is the best!! x
Lovely kitten, well done, I love her firey colours...
We went to a TICA show on Sunday... it was absolutly awful!
Oh my goodness, what was wrong??Quote:

There was hardly anyone there, which surprised me, although about half the cats there were Bengals. Everyone seemed to be in their own clique, and had been there the day before!
A certain someone was chatting to one of the American judges like they were besties!
The Canadian judge's steward hadn't even got us down in her notes so after hasty rejigging of pens this judge assessed our kitten by squeezing her muzzle... nothing else, as far as she was concerned that squeeze was all she needed to do!
In my opinion the judges were bored by the whole thing and couldn't wait to get home, the show was the worse one we have ever been to, I'm sure Fey got lots of points but as I wouldn't join TICA if they paid me! We'd had enough by 2.30 and left, I can assure you that it was nothing like our usual showing days, it was like a 1970's farce of a cat show... I'll never go TICA again ever, ever, ever!

We went to a TICA show on Sunday...
Who did you take ...?
Have just been onto the Tica forum & it looks as if the people running the show realised there were some problems & are trying to get them sorted before the next show.
Some lovely photos though,one is of a maine coon kitten,no name & I thought it looked like Fey but the picture of her on your site doesn't show her face quite enough to pick up on the markings.Most probaly you didn't take her anyway & thats the end of Detective Jackie trying to be clever !!!!
[quote=jckkerrison;9661]She went to a show in the Netherlands, I am having all my cats pets pass ported now Just started so I am going to come back to the UK again to show.Quote:

But one can never have to many cats!!
Next year we are keeping a few girl Maine-coons back and these will be shown also. very exciting plans for the future.
My Next show is in January! here
And then I will keep you posted will be nice to meet up!
Hi all
I can't find pix of the horrible show, actually I do feel sorry for the organizers as they all seemed really nice people. We did take Fey or Acoonamatata Phaedra as she is officilally known... we were at the same venue in September and had the pleasure of watching Alison Lyall and her steward handle our then 14 week old kitten. They were fantastically kind and kissed and cuddled her (and the other kittens they judged whilst we were in the gallery) they put her, gently on the table and gave her a propper assesment, then they gave her another cuddle... a great way to show a very young kitten that people were friends... no muzzle squeezing for her or the other kittens. I just felt that the TICA thing was a total waste of time... I was considering dual registering as the hype on TICA sounds good... Ha Ha it was anything but; perhaps if we had been members or gone on day one it may have been different; I will never find out!
I'd love to meet up at our West Country shows, I'm not that good at the showing lark but it gets me out of the house...
Hi Tivicoons,
Try putting in www.facebook.com/album should take you straight to a link that gives the show name & date,there are 106 pictures on there & the one that I wondered about was no 87,it looks as if the person was wearing green so if you were in pink ...!
Don't take the link off of here as it will ask for a log in put it straight into tool bar....
Then I will keep you informed of when I will eventually get over, its nice to see stewards looking after your kittens, a bad steward makes for an unhappy kitten.
Debbie
Hi Jackie
Yes that must be Fey, she was in my daughters arms at the time, I couldn't get to the pics though... I think facebook hates me! But Verity was wearing a very green coat and the only other kitten at the show was a silvier tabby... so I think you have indeed tracked us down!
Don't know how else to get you there,you can just see the green of your daughters coat but it is a full faced relaxed picture of Fey,she looks beautiful,I think the pictures were taken by a Janet Haynes,can you not get in touch with someone involved with the show & see if they can help you get to it...?I have to say the lady took some great pictures of the cats & people there.
Can not find this?/Quote:

Hi Debbie,I originally got the link from the UK TICA forum & it took me straight to it,I have managed to save it into favourites but obviously no good to anyone there, which is a pity because it is a great picture of Fey plus about a hundred more photos of other cats & their owners which were really great to look at,I don't know if the people who ran the show have a club site which perhaps they might be put on too....
Oh Thanks for letting me know.. I thought it was me, had so much to do this week my brain hurts!! and I click things and they go no where!
I have had a look tonight on face book but could not find it!!
Thanks for letting me know..
Debbie
