Entered

Heath is entered in our local cat show this weekend. Two days, ten rings. My biggest worry is getting him bathed the day before. He will sit in the bath tub while I wash a dog and supervise the whole process, but if I try to wash him, he turns into a biting, clawing banshee. It's a bit tricky holding on to an  eighteen pound cat that wants to leave. Husband has located our cage curtains from two decades ago, the last time we showed a Household Pet, and I've run the iron over them. I think the actual show will be comparatively relaxing compared to competing with the dogs in agility. All I have to do is figure out when to get him to which ring, and I can sit back and watch.

This show is full circle from the show we saw Heath at a year ago as a kitten and fell in love him. His ears are normal now, and his coat has grown in from his surgery. Hopefully, his outgoing, confident personality will overcome his lack of early show experience. We should have new pictures and a report next week of how things go. Wish us luck!


I'm ready, put me in the game!
