The biggest problem seems to be that its the same old judges....several times I have been showing a particular colour to find that a judge is doing that class at five consecutive shows!!!

Personally I feel that there has to be a bit more vigellance on the part of show managers.....I`ll probably get shot for saying this but some seem to be really out of touch with the cat fancy!! Perhaps in this age of IT a database could be set up into which all show/judge appointments could be entered and then show managers could see at a glance who has done what and where??

Having said that there are some really good show teams out there who really are in touch and do make it a fantastic day for the exhibitors and do make an effort to find different judges....

Another problem I`ve encountered recently is conflicting show dates...another communication problem...and I now find myself with divided loyalties between two shows.....its a shame because all the clubs need to make their shows viable....

Perhaps its time for clubs to actually communicate with there membership to see what they want from a show??]]>

We now have the Orientals and Siamese split in the Imperial and since then some cats from what I can see have had it very easy....

There was a day when open classes alone had loads of competition and you were lucky if you went home with a CC or PC so as far as I`m concerned competition is healthy....

Lets face it one mans meat can be another mans poison so everyone is in with a chance...

We should be looking towards raising the standards so to do that you need to have the good cats entered.....do we really want mediocre titled cats???]]>

My name is jane too! I am a new member, a bit shy really. I just wanted to browse the forums to look at info about havana cats, as I am hoping to adopt an adult baby, I am noy sure whether to have one or two. You seem to be a very knowledgeable oriental cat lady. I would love to hear a story about one of your havana cats.

It is a beautiful day here in Stourbridge.

Please could anyone tell me where to get information on:

How to prepare him for showing?
What vacc he will need?
What shows would be suitable?
How many classes he could be entered for?

I am going to the siamese cat club show in Milton Keynes on saturday to get the feel of a show and it would be good to have a chat with anyone else who is going.

Thanking you all in advance for any help I get.
