Was a nice trip to Palmy yesterday for the Palmerston North Cat Club - NZ show. Took Charlie for a cruise to see how she would handle the drive and being relatively confined for a day 😅 She did very well imo, I was so proud of her. She's such a well rounded wee gal that's always ready to explore! I love her SO much! Still kicking myself for not entering her - not that she's perfect show type - but just to gauge how she would handle it and get judges feedback - especially one in particular!! I didn't get any photos, but Sharon Kalani from TICA (USA Judge - not pictured) was brilliant to watch! Absolutely gutted I missed her judging the MCs as she is a wealth of knowledge. Incredibly patient, understanding, and happy to educate in a delightful manner. Her commentary was informative, and her interaction with the crowd made you feel included. Would definitely make an effort to attend any shows she was judging at!! If anyone knows whether she has a page to follow, I'd love a link 🙏 I've tried searching (which is how I know her name 🤭) but no luck - Just a personal one. Thanks to Jo for taking us both with her 💕 It was really nice to put some names of breeders to faces, and chat with some avid maine c**n fans. We handed out a few cards so if we met you yesterday and you have found us here.. Hi! 👋 Will definitely enter her in a show this year so keep an eye out for which one! Possibly Palmy in July 🤔 definitely Patches & Pointed Inc in Napier in Sept (if we don't do Palmy OR if we do, and she doesn't enjoy it). Would love to attend the National show in Auckland in 4 weeks for learning purposes, but not sure I'll make it. We'll see 👀
