Maybe someday I'll come out your way!
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that? The head peep went to a cat show a few months ago and really enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteGood looking show!
ReplyDeleteI have never been to a cat show and have always wanted to check one out. Looks like so much fun.
ReplyDeleteWay back when my mom was a little girl and a cat lover of the highest order, she went to this show in Minneapolis several years in a row. It brings back memories for her.
ReplyDeleteSuper post, we've never been to a cat show... must put it on the bucket list! ;)

Sounds like fun! I love going to cat shows--unfortunately, I understand the one near us (National Capital Cat Show) isn't happening this year, which is so disappointing!
ReplyDeleteDang it, Angel and Chuck have their holistic vet visit that day, and it's so hard to get the appointments! Are you going, Caren?
ReplyDeleteI was supposed to start a job today, but the manager's husband became ill so now I don't know what is up. If I go will depend on if I am working and if so, if I have to work on Saturday. If I am not working I wouldn't go til after 12...........let me know if you can make it!
DeleteThat should be a whole lotta fun.

Awww on all the cats except that last one. That's an acquired taste kind of cat.
ReplyDeleteI linked this post to Awww Mondays.
Have a purrfect day Cody. My best to your wonderful mom. ♥♥♥
It'd be fun to see all the different breeds in one place!
ReplyDeleteI've never been to a cat show, but I think it would be interesting to see.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Mom likes those shows. She likes the Lynx kitty
ReplyDeleteLily & Edward

I went to a local cat show many, many years ago and I remember it being so much fun! I would definitely go if I was there...I haven't seen one around here in ages.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a pawsome cat show ! Purrs
ReplyDeletewowee! Gorgeous duo! and thanks for the great book! The library and our children thank you!
ReplyDeleteyou are most welcome!!!!! Enjoy!
DeleteI have never been able to go to a Cat Show and how I would LOVE to attend one.
ReplyDeleteMom Paula says if she were in the area; she'd definitely go. She used to attend them all the time, but they don't come to SC anymore.
ReplyDeleteI would love to go... I would love to meet Caren and Cody! But we are too far away.

You are so sweet! It's not a given that we are going! Doubting I am....there is another, much bigger one coming in November.....that one I am 99% sure I will be at :)
DeleteAnyway, would LOVE to meet you! xoxo
Pawesome stuff, as Penny barks! A Cat Fanciers Cat Show, indeed! Rumour has it that Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar, has been asked to be a guest speaker. Pawhaps, not!
ReplyDeletePenny's fictional human,
Gary :)
Wish we could go!!
ReplyDeleteThere is a CFA show here the following weekend - Sept. 24! That is unusual as CFA doesn't usually have shows here, so I'll be excited to see how these shows differ from the TICA shows I've been to.
ReplyDeleteThe mom may have to check out this show!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like an awesome show. If we lived there, we would totally want to go!
ReplyDeleteOur mommy has been to two cat shows in Portland just to see Summer! And her human Janiss too of course! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, we have to say, it would be a fun event...but meowmy has to be at work that day...go figure.
ReplyDeleteBut it still would be a bit of a drive from here at any rate. You know, she has nevfur been to any cat show! Though she has been to a couple of doggy shows, MOL! (Way before she had any furs of her own...)
Looks like a good time!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun thing to do and see lots of different cats. Have a great day Caren.
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful to actually go to a Cat Show! Never have been,
ReplyDeleteSomeday we'd love to go to a cat show it looks like it would be fascinating .
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Wednesday...
Noodle and crew
Wish we were closer! Thanks for sharing the great pics. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to a cat show in years, but they are a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteMy human goes to cat show ... from time to time. That's where she met my mother. Ronrons

Cat Shows are great. I go for the vendors for cat-kitch.
ReplyDeleteLast year I went to my first cat show and loved it! I got to see some amazing breeds of cats that I had only seen pictures of.
ReplyDeleteI would be interested to see a cat show like that.
ReplyDeleteOur mom and dad have attended cat shows, but we've never been shown. Only Merlin has the personality for it, and he doesn't quite match up to the Sphynx breed standard.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for coming to my birthday celebration! - Merlin
Thank you for finding us and becoming our newest friends. We will be following your blog closely
ReplyDeleteyou are most welcome and THANK YOU!! We have cut down our blogging BIG TIME.............but...........we will be here at least a little bit each week!!!!!! Thank you!
DeleteWish it were not so far away. I'd love to go to that one. They haven't had one in Green Bay for about 5 years now. It's about time we had a big one.
ReplyDeleteMakes Mom miss her Cat Show vending days!

Such an interesting competition! I'm really regret that I live so far away from the venue. Btw, hope that you'll post some amazing pics from this event soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the post. I have never been to a cat show really i'm kind of curious about what will the cats be doing there
