Today was our 4-H cat show, the fastest I have ever been to, it was over in just about an hour. My cat is nothing special, well he is, he is gorgeous, has an amazing personality, but a shelter kitten, as purebred as he may look, blue points. I am also the club president and this was the first time the leader ever asked me to do anything, or gave me any responsibility as minimal as it was. Then the judge went through the class, I won, placed above the Egyptian Mau, that belongs to my friend, that was exciting, she won last year. Then they went through all the classes, and I had the highest score overall, so got the huge Grand Champion trophy. This was a happy ego trip.

Congratulations! 4-H is a big deal here too and my intern recently finished 1st in several categories with his horse.
I love cats too and have had 3 Siamese and 1 Persian kitty. They are glorious animals!
When do we raise glasses, BTW?

Congrats, Breyerchic! That is great!
Growing up, I was big in 4-H for many, many years. Then my kids were in it a few years also.
Would love to see you post a photo of your grand champion cat! My daughter (Ivygirl) is a huge cat fan and would like to see it as well!
Farmgirl p.s. -- Isn't your screen name somehow reflective of Breyer collectible horse figurines?

How exciting! I got to be the 4-H cat judge at fair a few years ago. My favorite event was the cage decoration. Everyone worked so hard!
Congratulations! To you and your kitty!

Thanks everyone.
Yeah my name is from Breyer Horses, the collectible plastic ones.
Annie, Cage decoration is so much fun, but I have been so busy I didn't get it done this year.
I don't know how or where to post a pic, but I can email you one farmgirl, is your adress in your profile?

Congrats, breyer! I grew up in the wrong part of the country for 4-H, but my mom has many fond memories of it.

Whoo-hoo! I don't know much about 4-H, but what little I do know makes me wish that I had participated in it growing up. Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :
Beautiful cat, breyerchic! Thanks for sharing the photo! He definately does look like a purebred siamese. What all do they look for when judging a cat?

pretty much the care it has recieved, so dirt, loose hair, weight, eyes, anything you can control, then if it is a tie on that the general bone structure.
