GOOD NEWS STORY

This precious kitty, Ruby Button was competing in the GCCFI Supreme Cat Show on Sunday October 11 , in Ballinteer Community Schoo and, not only did she win Best of Colour in her category and achieve enough Firsts to get her Grand Master Cat certificate , but also when it came to the judging for Best in Show she was brought up and put in the WINNER'S pen for BEST NON-PEDIGREE IN SHOW!!

This was beyond our wildest dreams!!

Ruby Button had a very hard start in life, living rough with her mother and siblings until she was rescued by Cats' Aid Dublin, when she was 9 weeks old. So this is a really big achievement for her.

Her prizes are a 7.5kg (16.5 pounds) bag of Leonardo brand cat food and a beautiful Tipperary Crystal vase.

She will also get a very special rosette (ribbon). Naturally Ruby Button was spoilt with treats when she got home.

We are SO proud of her.

This is what the Judge wrote in her report:

"GCCFI SUPREME SHOW October 11 2026

Cat No 70 S*x FN DOB 18/07/2016 Place 1 Cert Grand Master

Halloween can be a frightening and stressful time for cats. So, here are a few tips to keep them safe during this period

* Keep your cat indoors where possible. During the next few days, try to keep your cat indoors. Fireworks (which have already started) can spook even the most chilled cat and cause them to run away and become disoriented.

* Take extra care when opening doors to trick or treaters, so your cat doesn't escape accidentally.

* Give them a safe, quiet place to retreat to: offer them a quiet comfortable place, away from the noise.

* Help reduce outside noise: Leaving a radio or television on at a comfortable volume can help mask some of the unfamiliar sounds coming from outside.

* Keep Halloween treats out of reach: Sweets, chocolate and other Halloween treats can be dangerous for cats.

* Choose decorations carefully: Cats are naturally curious and playful, so make sure decorations, candles, lights and other Halloween items are kept safely out of reach where necessary.
Some cats also enjoy chewing on things like soft plastic and straw, which can accidentally be ingested and cause stomach problems.

* Avoid dressing your cat in costumes: While dressing pets up for Halloween might seem like fun, many cats can find costumes uncomfortable or stressful.

* Check their microchip details. Make sure your cat’s microchip information is up to date in case they become frightened and run away. If your cat isn’t microchipped, speak to your vet about getting this done.

* Other stress relief aid can be used, such Feliway and Pet Remedy and toys filled with Valeriana and Catnip. These can be easily found in most pet shops.
