A brilliant result lotsofcats. I look forward to reading the judge's report when posted on the GCCF site - the show results are already there but not the judge's - its a bit to soon. How's Blackberry now she's home? Oh & have you stopped beaming from ear to ear yet Blackberry was fine when she got home, just hungry. I have only just stopped beaming tonib.

I would like to get her up to her Master Cat champion level cia but I wouldn't go above that. Blackberry does not like to travel in the car at all, she cried all the way there on Saturday so I would have to choose venues as near as possible. I could do the Bristol one as it's only a bit further away and I could do the same venue as Saturday next year and hope that there is a different judge. I'm glad you all had faith in her! I know she is pretty, it was how she would handle it that I was uncertain about.

I love the way you say it has to suit both of you - perfect - surely it cant just be about the owner can it. A pretty face always wins - through in all walks of life

A pretty face always wins - through in all walks of life Apparently cia with the Household Pets at shows (Moggies) the judges concentrate more on the way the cats behave and their nature, rather than their looks. I take that with a pinch of salt.

Oh wow - she does sit pretty and she also appears to be quite a big cat - or is that just the picture?
Your daughters nails are something else, just amazing.

Glad you liked the nails - they took her ages to do. We though that Blackberry looked quite small when she was at the show, but there was a lot of large breeds there, Maine Coons, Norwegian Forests, Rag Dolls. She weighs just under 5kg so she's not a small cat. If I show her again I will pay extra to have the double sized cage as the standard cages are so small.

She looks really good in the photos lotsofcats. The rosettes look good too I hadn't realised Blackberry was a large medium cat size. Roman & Osiris are 5.5 Kg but Lexie is only 4 (ish) & Penny was supposed to be 4Kg or less. Obviously not big in relation to the big boys you have but still not small. Your daughter put a log of effort in those nails, I can't even keep mine nicely shaped & usually land up smudging any nail polish I put on - which is a rare occasion!

I'm the same tonib, I'm hopeless with my nails, I always wear nail varnish but it has to be quite a pale colour or I get it all over the edges.

Lovely pictures of Blackberry. And your daughter's nails. Wow. She must wear gloves to protect them. Only take them of when she is not using her hands.

The cats on the nails have gone now, they had started to chip. My daughter uses designs chosen from a nail plate and then she coats the chosen pattern from the stamping plate with black nail polish, scrapes off excess polish and then rolls a stamper over the nail to transfer the design. She then paints in the design on each nail with her chosen colours and coats with clear nail varnish. I wouldn't have the patience.
