Bench Neighbors

Best of the Best at Raleigh! This cat was rescued from a crack house by this couple and lovingly brought back to health and not only shows but was one of the top winners at the Raleigh show. This is just one of the many heartwarming stories you hear from people who show in the pet division.

One of my favorites activities at a cat show is hanging out with my bench neighbors. I call them "my comrades in the trenches", other times I call them "my neighbors". These are two of "my neighbors" at the Raleigh show. They not only had 9 cats they were showing, some of them were white and had long hair. For any cat person in the know, this is a sign of someone who takes grooming seriously and possibly has OCD. One of the things that impressed me about this lovely couple was that they were also groomed impeccably every day. I decided that they would be my grooming guru's and studied them. My makeup and hair improved each day from my studies with them. I found out later that he is also a TICA judge.
