Cat Show

The Stretch

We drove over yesterday to Seaside OR. We stopped at the Convention Center which is a nice facility to visit the CFA cat show put on by the Emerald Cat Club from Vancouver, WA. It was busy yet not as much as the one held last month in Albany. Not as many vendors. The weather was cold and wet with snow on the pass headed to and from Seaside back to Portland area.
We watched a number of the judging sessions though it is nice to see the household cat judging. I have included a picture of the Best Cat selected in the household cat category. This cat was rescued and brought to Oregon from Atlanta. He was quite cute in behavior. After the announcement he was "best cat", he laid down to take a rest. Shortly after he decided playing with the cat wand toy was worth a stretch (see below).

Toybob Cats

This show was the debut of the Toybob cats from Russia. They had some kittens there who were adorable. The price ranges from $1500 pet to upwards of $3000 or so for breeding cats. The kittens were calling my name wanting to find a home with us.

Show Hall

This is a big cat show in numbers of entries and the gate. Here is the show hall off across the convention center at the Holiday Inn near the airport.

Scooper Bowl

At lunch time, they had the scooper bowl for young people. You had to scoop as many Jelly Beans from the cat litter box as you could in 1 minute and demerits for too much litter.

It was fun to watch and I did get a video of the activity. Here is a photo.

Kitty In Window

How much is that kitty in the window. The one with the cute little sweater since we don't have a haricot. This is either a Sphynx or a Rex cat but couldn't tell for sure at the distance.
