1373.0. "A little bragging - A lot of CFF Info" by TOPDOC::TRACHMAN () Tue May 17 1988 15:25

    
    
    I would like to announce that Katenka Dolly ZhivagoCat
    is now a CFF Grand Companion Cat, as of this past Sunday.
    
    Katenka achieved Companion Cat on Saturday and Grand Companion Cat
    on Sunday. She also won two Morris Tropies this past weekend in
    Albany - one for highest cumulative score for the show and the other
    for highest scoring Tabby and White in Show.
    
    Needless to say, she has a very proud Mom!

    What are the guidlines for showing a household pet? Do I understand
    that if they have been declawed they will not be accepted?
    
    Barbara

    Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    What is BNN Cable TV? Is that a local cable station?

    Thanks !   She is a very sweet baby.            
    
    RE: 1
    
    Well, to show a household pet:
    
    First you will need to get in touch with the entry clerk
    for the show you want to enter - There is a show in
    West Springfield MA that is still accepting entries
    for both household pets & apparent purebreds (household
    pets that look like a purebred but either pet quality or
    not registered - entry clerk is Bev Hardacre 617-688-6790).
    The entry clerk will explain all you need to know about
    dressing your cage with drapes, what grooming tools you
    will need.  The cat must be clean - bathed before the 
    show - both front and back nails must be clipped - ears
    clean and the cat must be healthy and up-to-date on all
    shots.  As long as your kitty can be handled by a strange
    person, that's about all that's needed.  You will know
    by trying him in one or two shows.  
    Also, if you don't want to bathe the cat yourself, you
    can take him to a groomer - lots of folks do that for
    many different reasons.
    Yes, if they are declawed they can not be shown.
         
    RE:2  Deb, I guess that is a cable station in Boston.  I get
    the feeling that I probably won't get to see it unless they
    tape it and show it at some show on a video machine.  
    The banquet is open to the public - any one interested can attend
    the dinner (for a $$) and the award ceremonies. Top Ten winners
    will be asked to submit color slides to be put up when the award
    is presented to the owner of that cat.

    Congratulations to the two of you.
    
    I met little miss precious and she is absolutely gorgeous.....
