Moonlight looks a real pretty girl.....does she ever come inside or can she not even bear the other cats company for a moment?
As for the rosettes....In my earlier post I did mention that its a little different over here in the uk, At some shows they just seem to quite literally throw rosettes at the cats just for turning up!
Also some of the ways they are judged are different.....for instance "Evvie" will compete against a cat that has won best of breed in the bengal open class.....and she will win over it in the female oriental kitten class.....sometimes it doesn't make much sense, .....But hey "we're British" :rolleyes:
Just to give some perspective, In our last show I don't think
any of the 253 cats
didn't get a rosette.....Also the bengal breed is more established in the u.s, Meaning more bengals enter the show....in the u.k any general cat show is lucky if it has more than 10 out of 250 that are bengals.....The shows in the u.s seem to be much harder judged and much more competative aswell as the extra numbers of bengals, So Daggers rosette
is quite a big achievement for a young boy
Anywho......one rosette...or a million rosettes.....it's all good!
What matters most is the taking part.....And maybe also the fact that someone wearing a white coats and a judges badge thinks your handsome bengal boy is better looking and sings a better song than someone elses handsome bengal boy!
But the best of all is hearing members of the public comment about your cat as they're walking around.....about how her coats looks or how vocal he is, etc etc.........Thats the proudest moment for me and is worth more than all the rosettes in the world!
