Hi there! I am interested in showing my kitten Strider as a neutered pet. It'd just be for fun! I'm still unsure if I will actually do it so I'm just trying to learn now. TICA shows only come to my area once or twice a year and even then it is a 4 hour drive. I would never be able to travel all over the country attending shows. Would it even be worth it for me to show Strider just those one or two times a year? Or is it pretty much a rule to travel fair distances to attend shows? I really wish I could find some smaller scale shows to attend for fun. I can't seem to find anything like that though. Thoughts? Thank you!

Unfortunately, it is sometimes very difficult for your kitty to be "show ready" if they only go once or twice a year. Most show cats show quite a bit for 1 or 2 years and then retire. BUT if your guy enjoys shows and you keep him well socialized, it might be a great twice a year event for you two to enjoy together. He sure is cute!
