BARBECCO CHIEF CHIRPA - Did us all proud again. His breeder Marian and Frank were there to see how their little boy was now growing into a handsome young lad. He was also charming the judges and I have to thank Jackie Reed for her lovely comment written on her judging slip about Chirpa saying that he was a LOVELY BOY. I was very touched and felt very proud.

KERNOW CAT CLUB SHOW 3rd April 2010 |
|
Today was BARBECCO CHIEF CHIRPA'S coming out show. He travelled well up to the show but initially when going in and going through the vetting in he was a little anxious and shaking. It didn't take Chirpa long to relax and get into the swing of things. He enjoyed all the attention and lapped it up.
Chirpa did very well in all his classes achieving -
1st and BOB in his open class
and four 1st's and one 2nd in his miscellaneous classes |

KERNOW CAT CLUB SHOW 3rd April 2010 |
|
|
For Chirpa's first show he did very well and took it all in his stride once he got the hang of things.
After an exhausting day showing off and winning over the judges Chirpa decided to take it easy at the show and chill out.

KERNOW CAT CLUB SHOW 3rd April 2010 |
|
This was Paige's first Adult show. As she is barely just over 9 months I really wasn't sure if we would get anything. Also at the show was Lynne with Star our little foster girl and again it was her first Adult class. Lynne and I waited with great anxiety for the results, there was alot coming out that were being witheld so our anxiety grew. Eventually both our results arrived at the same time and we could not believe it. We both got 1st and best of breed and awarded our first challenge certificates towards our championship status. I think if the judges had been in the results room we would have kissed them so I suppose it was lucky they were off still judging.
Paige Cherry's results -
Open Class 1st and BOB and CC awarded.
Misc Classes one 1st and two 2nds.
I would like to thank our OPEN CLASS judge for both Paige and Chirpa, Mary Kalal and all the other judges and stewards for making the day so special for us. |

WESSEX CAT SHOW 6th March 2010 |
|

Well done to HERMIONE as she won her open class and has now achieved the title of CHAMPION. I am sooooo pleased as she is the first Champion in my feline family and also the first champion for her breeder. I do think Hermione knew this as she was showing off at the show and rubbing herself against her 1st certificate every time someone looked at her. Hermione is now free to have a break from the shows and go off and have kittens. But do watch this space as Hermione's daughters Grace, a Caramel Tortie (owned by Ann and Scott) and Paige Cherry will be hitting the show bench soon to hopefully follow in both Mum and Dads footsteps. |

West Country Cat Club Show 16th jan 2010. |
|
I do always enjoy this show and have to say that this year was especially good as I had three Carbeile Kittens being shown and I also spent the day stewarding which I always thoroughly enjoy.
CARBEILE OH SO GRACEFULL - 1ST & BOB (caramel tortie point Siamese)
I am really pleased to Congratulate Ann and Scott Parry on taking Grace, one of Hermione's babies from last year, whom won 1st in her Open Class and BOB. This was the first time Ann and Scott had shown so I do hope they enjoyed themselves. I also have to say a special thankyou to Jenny who helped enable Ann and Scott to show Grace.
ADSETAM ONEFORSO - HERMIONE also got 1st & BOB and her 2nd CC so we are trying our very best to get her third to make her up to Champion.
CARBEILE TALLULAH BELL - 1ST & BOB
(Blue point Birman)
Well done to Zara and Shaun, this is the second time that they have shown Tallulah and seem to be really getting into the swing of this showing malarky, considering they are very new to showing. So well done for giving it ago.
As For CARBEILE PAIGE CHERRY - 2nd in Open Class - she decided that she wasn't playing today and choose to ignore everyone.
Well we can't have everything, but I am really pleased to see that some of my kittens are getting onto the show bench and most importantly seem to be enjoying themselves.
WELL DONE TO EVERYONE. |

The National Cat Show 28th Nov 09 - Hermione |
|
|
Hermione had a really good day today. She won her open class and got best of breed, but is was very close. She also got 2 other 1st and a 3rd in the Misc classes. So all in all she did very well. We will be doing a more shows over the winter in the hope that we can work towards her champion status. |

Paige is still happy to grace the show bench and on this occassion had some absolutely Fab kittens to compete with. She did get a 2nd in the open and a 1st and 3rd in the misc classes. As she is still a baby she has plenty of time to grow and blossom. |

THE CAMBRIA CAT SHOW 10/10/09 |
|
|
This was Paige's first show and I was a little worried as she isn't the most out going of kittens but it turned out I needn't have worried as she took it all in her stride and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Paige got first in her open class but didn't do so well in the Miscellaneous classes. The competition was very tough and there were alot of fabulous kittens there. Also with Paige still being very young she needs time to blossom, as I am sure she will. I was very proud of her and will be showing her again in the near future. |

Somerset Cat Club Show 6th June 09 |
|
|
My Mum joined with us today (pictured with Boji) and also a friend of mine with her mum. We had a great day with all the cats and there owners, fussing over Boji and of course shopping.
Boji had a good day and enjoyed all the fuss but unfortunately his premier certificate was withheld so although he was given first in his open class no certificate this time. Although withheld certificates for many exhibitors seemed to be the order of the day. I look forward to reading the judges report.

Bristol & District Cat Show 18/4/09 |
|
|
Boji had a blue day today as he got 2nd in his Open class and 2nd in two other classes.
But we were not blue as it was a lovely day and his competitor whom came first was a lovely Barbecco Red Tabby point, which is good news as Hermione's kittens will be half Barbecco's so we hope to achieve the same good looks.
That is not to say that Boji isn't also a handsome chap. As far as I am concerned he is always the best looking, but I am of course bias !!! |

The Wessex Cat Show 7/3/09 |
|
|
This was the first time that I had shown 4 cats and for Noly it was her first show just to see how she would do.
Hermione and Boji both did better than what I expected. They are half brother and sister, sharing the same dad, Alfacentory Herculis Hero, affectionately known as Leo by his owner Ms Kelly Grimmett of Destrier Cats.
All in all everything went well and we (including the cats) had a very enjoyable day. There were a few minor dramas but this just all adds to the fun of it.
We both look forward to the next show we do but probably not so many cats as it is now time for the girls to start thinking about going to see their new boyfriends!!!! |

Boji Stone at The Wessex Cat show 7/3/09 |
|
|
After Boji Stone's last efforts at a cat show I was a little worried about how he would do as he turned into psycho puss as his last show (I think he hates the travelling).
We arrived very early for the show and gave Boji Stone plenty of time to settle prior to going into the show hall. This seemed to do the trick and he was far more settled.
Boji Stone went on to win his 1st open class and Best of Breed giving him his 1st premier certificate.
Boji Stone also achieved another 1st and a 3rd in the miscellaneous classess. |

Hermione at The Wessex Cat show 7/3/09 |
|
|
Well, Hermione managed to cause a drama at the show as there was apparently some debate about her being pregnant (which she isn't) but luckily she wasn't disqualified for which we are grateful, as she went on to win her open class but the CC was witheld (hopefully will find out why when the report comes out).
Hermione also got a 2nd and two 3rds in the miscellaneous classes. |
|
|
|
|
Piper-holly at the Wessex cat show 7/3/09 |
|
|
This was Piper-holly's second show and again she thoroughly enjoyed herself. Especially her new cat nip toy that took quite a beating in her pen.
Piper-holly got 1st in her open class but as with the West of England show she was up against the same beautiful chocolate boy who took best of breed.
Piper-holly also got a 3rd in the AC Siamese Balinese kitten (6-9 months) |
|
|
|
|
Noly at The Wessex Cat show 7/3/09 |
|
|
Noly took her first show in her stride and seemed to enjoy the whole process. She didn't achieve top results but I think this may have something to do with her passion for food and having a tummy twice the size of her little head. It was good experience for her and hopefully as she gets older her body will start to grow more in-proportion.
Noly got 2nd in her open class, the first position was witheld as she was the only entry (bless)
She also got a first in the non-breeders miscellaneous class. |

PIPER-HOLLY West Country Cat Club 17/1/09 |
|
|
This is Piper's first time in the show ring and we found that there was alot of competition in the kitten class. She seemed to enjoy herself and was contented to either sleep or role around showing off when people were looking at her.
RESULTS
Open Class 1st place. BOB went to a lovely little boy who was in the next cage, I think Piper was perhaps showing off for his benefit !!!!
Piper didn't do so well in the Miscellaneous classes with the best result as a forth. But I have to admit that the competition was very tough with some very lovely looking kittens, but as Piper's human mummy I will always be biased.
I plan to show Piper again and hope that we can do a little better in the Miscellaneous classes.

HERMIONE West Country Cat Club Show 17/1/09 |
|
|
This is also the first time Hermione (Adsetam Oneforso) has entered into a show. And for a first timer she did well and appeared to be quite relaxed.
RESULTS
Open class 3rd place, this was a big class so did well to come third.
Misc class AC Siamese/Balinese Tabby, Tortie or Tortie Tabby.
1st place - again another big class so was really pleased with this.
Misc class AV Debutante Adult - 2nd place.
We are looking to show again so hopefully Hermione will get a few more rosettes to add to her collection. |

TAMNAVULIN Southern & South Western Birman Cat Show. Sept |
|
|
This is the first time that Tamnavulin has been to a show and although she is a good breed quality girl she has a few faults that would mean she wouldn't do well against the big boys and girls so we decided to enter into the pet quality classes. She won first for best female and overall best pet Birman. She seemed to thoroughly enjoy the whole event and we also had a bonus that one of the top judges had a look at her and gave some very good feed back on her quality and type for which we are really grateful. The club and show is really friendly and welcomes anyone with pet quality Birmans giving them the opportunity to try out the show world. This is a good day and alot of fun for everyone, even the cats seem to enjoy themselves. They also have classes for non pedigrees, so if you have a cat that likes to show off you can always enter them into the show. |

OBAN. The Southern & South Western Birman 2nd Sanction Sho |
|
|
This is now the third year on the trott that Oban has entered this show as Exhibition pet quality Birman. Oban always does very well in the pet quality classes and currently he has achieved the most rosettes out of all of my cats. This year he won best pet Birman male, second in best presentation and third for best personality. He loves doing this show as it is a small but very friendly environment, so if you have a pet quality Birman why not give it a go. |
|
|
|
|
OBAN. Southern & South Western Birman Cat Club Sh |
|
|
Oban was shown at the Southern and South Western Birman Cat club 2006 and 2007. This is held in Swindon usually in September. Oban enters into the pet quality classes as he cannot compete with the big boys as he has a white run on one of his legs.
In 2006 which was the third exemption show Oban got 1st in his open class pet quality. 1st for best blue eyes Any pet quality Birman. 1st for AC pet quality Birman and 2nd for AC visitor pet quality Birman. He was also awarded judges favourite at this show. In 2007 the show was now a 1st sanction show and went as an Exhibit of Pet Birmans and he won 1st for best presentation. |
