I'm so pleased with him as there was so many lovely cats there.

  12/01/08 - Blaze was entered into the West Country Cat Club Show and gained a first in her open class, and a best of breed. She also gained a third in one of her side classes. I am thrilled with her result as this is my first show and hers. She is usually quite uneasy when taken out if the home, but in the show she behaved brilliantly. She was a little shaky to begin with, but soon got into the swing of things. A great day all round.
