After a long day at the cat show, this little guy is taking a well deserved rest.  Thank you Karousel Kats Cat Club for putting on a fun show this past weekend in Reading, Pa.!  Since there were many spectators (include a lot of children with questions galore!), the judges did an outstanding job of displaying the cats and talking about the breeds.  I have some favorite images to post, so the rest of this week is hereby declared ‘cat week’ on the blog!  Enjoy!

This image is from the Karousel Kats show last Spring in Reading, Pa.  I love the colors in this image!  Oh, and the cat is pretty adorable, too!

The CFA (Cat Fanciers’ Association) World Cat Show was held this past weekend at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center, Oaks, Pa.  It’s a huge event with two cat shows running simultaneously and a total of 16 rings.  In addition, there is a “Meow Mall” for shopping, cat agility, lectures, demonstrations, and more!  Here’s a beautiful Oriental taking center stage in judge Bob Zenda’s ring.

How can anyone resist a kitten?  Especially one as adorable as this?  I haven’t met a kitten that I didn’t fall in love with instantly!

In my last post I mentioned that show cats often have a chance to play while on the judges table.  This sweet kitty was all about keeping both eyes on the dragonfly wand toy that the judge was holding.  My cats love toys…especially Brewster.  When he was first brought to the Siamese Cat Rescue Center, he had no clue what to do with a toy that was introduced to him.  Now, he’s a toy-aholic!  Catnip filled toys are his favorite.  We highly recommend fresh organic catnip toys handmade by Linda from The Catnip Cafe in Phoenixville, Pa.  http://www.thecatnipcafe.com/  Brewster and Savannah received two new toys from the show last weekend that are guaranteed not to fly under the refrigerator!  🙂
