CAT SHOW

WE MADE IT TO THE CAT SHOW IN LAS VEGAS.  THE SHOW WAS HELD IN A LARGE CONVENTION CENTER.  ONE ROOM WAS SET UP WITH FIVE JUDGING RINGS, SURROUNDED BY CAGES.  THERE WERE FIVE JUDGES, AND AT LEAST THREE RINGS WERE GOING ALL THE TIME.

THE SECOND ROOM WAS WHERE THE CAT OWNERS HAD THEIR CAT KENNELS SET UP ON LONG ROWS OF TABLES.

THE CATS ARE JUDGED ON CONFIRMATION.  DID I REALLY THINK THEY WOULD HAVE THEM LEASHED AND TROTTING AROUND A SHOW RING?  OR JUMPING THRU HOOPS?

AFTER WATCHING THE JUDGES DO THEIR THING AWHILE, WE TOURED THE OTHER ROOM AND THE WAITING CATS.  IT WAS FUN TO SEE THE DIFFERENT PURBRED CAT BREEDS, LIKE SELKIRK REX, RAGDOLLS, MAIN COONS, SIAMESE, PERSIANS, ETC.  WE SAW HAIRLESS CATS, CAT WITH SO MUCH HAIR THEY LOOKED LIKE GRANDMAS DUST MOP, AND CATS SO SKINNY THEY LOOKED LIKE YOUR SWIFFER MOP.

WITH THE PACKERS AND BEARS GAME ON OUR MIND WE PICKED OUR PERSONAL “BEST OF SHOW”.

CATS 006

THIS BEAUTIFUL RED CAT AND IT’S FLUFFLY TAIL REMINDED US OF A RED FOX. WITH KICK-OFF AT 1:15 LOCAL TIME WE DIDN’T EVEN FIND OUT WHAT BREED IT WAS.  TIME TO HEAD OFF THE STRIP, THE LAND OF $8 BUDWEISERS, AND HIT FREMONT STREET.

WAIT… WAIT….. WHAT ABOUT YOUR QUEST FOR SPOTTED CATS?  MORE ON THAT IN THE NEXT BLOG.

I think that's an Abysinian. Pretty, aren't they? And they are very sweet cats, too.
