I don't think so, Gill.  I didn't get to see the household pets but I did have a browse at the entrants in the catalogue and I don't think Pearl was listed.

I went but I wasn't feeling well and didn't last the day.  I left about 3pm - first time ever I've left before the final judging.  Managed to do a bit of shopping for the boys before I left.  They got a new scratching post for the hall, a danish cosy bed, some tasty food and a few small toys.  I have no idea what made me buy the bed as I don't normally bother with cat beds since they sleep on the bed. sofa etc.  When I got it home I realised it was too small for them really - I must have forgotten they were big cats!  I thought at one point it might have to go into the auction but they have both investigated it and had a sleep in it and Jaffa seems to love it.  He has to really squash himself up to get in, but seems comfy.  Sorry auction.  The show seems to get smaller each year.  It is still a big show, but there is only about  half the stalls/shops there were when I started going many years ago.  I used to struggle to visit everything and see the cats.  There also seemed fewer people there, in the  morning at least.  And the usual lack of places to sit.  I still like it and will probably go next year, but it's not quite the day out it used to be.  I believe a maine coon won the big title.

Hope you all had a fab time! A lack of funds prevented us from going this year. Oh well maybe next year.

I can't go as have tonnes and tonnes of knitting and crocheting to do before xmas.  Beginning to think my mum thinks I am a robot as she is taking orders off her friends and then phoning them through, I have told her do not promise just say she will phone me to check and let them know from now on.  Had it where I only needed to do 2 sets of the Poinsettia last night now have it at 6 due to my mum promising that I will do them.  Have explained to my mother that there are 45 pieces to each set that needs to be crocheted and assembled and that I still have things to do for myself and other people so will get around to the ones she has accepted when I get to them and some may be disappointed.

Thanks - dunno now - just thinking about getting back for the feeding/litter tray round which has got a bit bigger since fostering...... :tired: Usually start around 4pm and if I leave it much longer than that Chico up the top of the garden will start whingeing and distrubing the neighbours  :scared: Suppose I could leave him in the grooming room all day...have to think....

Anyone going this year?
Purrs meet-up?

Thought I'd ask now as if yes to both questions it gives a good length of time to get all organised and to find cat sitters if needed. Or to arrange transport etc.

Bumping up this thread as it is now less than 2 weeks away

A Purrs stand is a fantastic Idea - but surely you have to pay to have a stand??

I think its about £140 quid. Don't know how many people can go in free to help on the stand though!

As a Crufts addict I would say the Supreme is only vaguely comparible - certainly no where near the scale as Crufts or anywhere near the amounts of Crufts Shopping and not as hands on and a lot, lot less people. It's very enjoyable though. I really enjoyed myself.

Fingers crossed, I'm going to try and make it this year.
