Brill Gillie best get the camera out :evillaugh: :evillaugh:
-
We need as many peeps as poss to join in with this so loads of money can be raised.
Instructions and prizes etc to be posted ;D ;D
Camera's at the ready ;D ;D ;D
-
Ooh this looks like fun ;D Defo gettin camera at the ready lol
-
Does that not seem like rather too many categories Gill?
-
Hi Des, loads of classes at the start as thats where we get the money raised from so we wanted to do loads to raise more money for Minimopsical :) ;)
-
i just think there might be too many, and it might have the wrong effect, I know I personally wouldn't bother with half of them cos it is offputting having so many, and trying to remember them when the cats are doing daft things - plus, aren't these pics being posted on the forum for the judging? Isn't that going to affect those of us who already have a slow connection to the site?
-
It shouldn't effect your connection speed on dial up no more than if ya view pics now hun. The pics will all be in the thumb nail format and you will need to click to view them. This way it allows a quicker page loading and ya'll be on broadband soon so ya will be amazed at the speed of broadband.. i couldn't go back to dial up now i would be waitng for hours for pages to load. I soo used to them loading instantly on broardand. You must have lots of patience! :Luv:
Thats ok if ya no want to enter all the classes, it wasn't meant to be for a single slave to enter all of them, but so everyone has a good choice of what they want to enter. We may end up with some classes with no entries. It totally up to you what ya wanna enter hun. ;) We wanted also to do loads so that every cat can enter so helping to raise more money which is our ultimate goal. :donate: :donate2:
-
The classes are designed to give everyone a chance of entering their cat in a class because this will be the easiest place to pick up a win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It will get harder from then on, cos in the next stage the class winners will be grouped, so much less groups and harder to win.
Also because some classes will be hard to win it gives a chance for the cats to maybe get through in another class.
All cat shows have loads of classes. It doesnt matter how many or how few, its all just fun to raise money for Minimopsical.
I would love to get everyone involved and when the rules are put up shortly you will see that this Cat Show has certain pro active things to get peeps involved :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
I hope you will find at least one category to enter your cats in Desley ;D
-
I hope it speeds things up Tan, cos I dont have enough time or patience at the mo for it!!
Gill - I hope I do, but to be honest, a list of 80+ is incredibly offputting to me, and I lose interest, esp as I have a lack of time, and the comp is so slow!!
-
More classes means more chance to win ;D And you dont' have to (or are expected to) enter them all!
btw - what is the difference between classes 10 and 11? Doesn't 11 incorporate 10? Mosi would come into the other semi longhair category - but is that class 10 or class 11? And are there any pedigree longhairs that wouldn't go into class 1? (assuming all the persian varieties and breeds are classed as persian).
-
I understand about the speed but all you have to do once entries open is fill in entry form and send me the pictures, rules up shortly, and if you look under non-pedigrees, there is a color class available so thats very easy and also an age class under the joint category, both are near the top.
If you have the same picture that fits the criteria for more than one category for the same cat , then you will only need one picture of each cat.
you are not gonna have to post the picture only the fee to tan and piccy to me, every thing else will be done for you. ;D
If you dont wanna enter you can donate if you wish but hope you can find enough time to enter one category cos its taken a very long time for me to set it all up and loads more of my time has gotta be used yet.
-
Believe me Des ya will def see a huge diff on broadband from dialup ;D and if ya dont there's something wrong with ya braodband. Who are ya going with?
xx
-
Even slow broadband is a million times faster than dial up ;D ;D
-
I do hope so - going with TalkTalk Tan.
Gill - I do want to enter the competition, but just the list of categories is off putting with it being so long
-
Sorry Desley but we have already explained why it is long. ;D
-
You don't have to enter every catagory - just pick one that best suits your picture(s). If you look at it this way, it actually makes it easier to enter.
(I've just re-read that, and it may come across as patronising, but that's not my intention - honest.)
-
I know I dont have to enter every category, my prob is that there are so many it is going to be hard to work out which ones suit my pics, and then I get fed up and lose interest!! Esp coming so soon after having to pick pics and captions for the diary (which I haven't even finished yet!!)
-
Entries dont open till 1 May and that is 6 weeks away yet ;D
-
ive not started the diary yet...ooops
-
Only 6 weeks Gill it will take me that long to get mine to stay still long enough :rofl: :rofl:
-
If you dont wanna enter you can donate if you wish but hope you can find enough time to enter one category cos its taken a very long time for me to set it all up and loads more of my time has gotta be used yet.
Well done Gill. So pleased to see there is a category for black cats. Everybody knows how difficult they are to photograph - always end up looking like a big black blob which tends to disadvantage them when up against multicoloured cats. This way we can all submit our big black blobs and hope for the best :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
Just a quick question. Most of my best cat pics were taken before I had a digital camera (the digital ones are all of the black blob ;D). They are scanned into my computer but obviously not very high resolution. Can I still submit them?
-

Welcome to the confuddled world of cat showing, Des! :evillaugh: Believe me, this is easier than trying to pick out classes in a championship show, takes me weeks to figure out which ones to enter Pearl in! :rofl:
-
Yes Carol you can submit any that you have, obviously the better the quality the easier it is to see the cat, sorry black blob :rofl: :rofl:
-
Can we have a hitler kitty class, pretty pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :wish: :donate2:
-
No sorry but Class 65 will probably suit ;D
-
Gill are these classes duplicated?
41 - sleeping cat and 70 Sleepy cat? if they are diff, would Dozy cat then be tha same as sleepy cat?
Ta hun thanks for doing all this :thankyou:
:cat laugh:
-
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek :shify:
Yes I think that class 41 is a duplicate, so will take that one out but leave in Sleeping cat and Dozy cat.
If there is another idead for Class 41 that we do not have alread, let me know or it will be an unused class ;D
Thank you for pointing it out but please dont find any others unless you do it now :rofl: :rofl:
-
Unless you've changed it while I wasn't looking, I couldn't see a class for cats grooming themselves, just each other.
-
No I havent changed it while you were away :rofl: but that can now be Class 41 thanks Dave ;D ;D ;D
-
Bilbo has cordially requested a 'Best Orange Flavour Cat with One Eye Working on a VW' class if at all possible? :-:
-
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ;D
There is a class for the ginger Moggies and also one for disabled cats, and am sure that Mr Cheeky will fit in many other classes too :rofl: :rofl:
Soooooooooooooo noooooooooooooo sorry, all classes are full again 8)
-
You still aint answered my question :sigh: :no no:
what is the difference between classes 10 and 11? Doesn't 11 incorporate 10? Mosi would come into the other semi longhair category - but is that class 10 or class 11?
So which class does Mosi enter in the ped section? He's a semi longhair but he's not a NFC, maine coon, birman or ragdoll 8)
-
Sorry missed your question, will go and look ;D
-
Ok these are pedigree classes, is Mosi a pedigree?
If he is and he is a semi longhair and not a MC or NWF etc, then Class 10 will be for him but also Class 11 ;D, cos that ones for all the pedigrees who have long or semi long hair. Gives an extra chance if he doesnt win his basic class :rofl: :rofl:
10. Other Semi-Longhair (excluding NFC, Maine Coon, Birman and Ragdoll
11. Long Hair and Semi Longhair
-
Carl Bilbo will win the ginger class but he may face stiff opposition from his old friend Minimopsical in the disabled class :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
Now now, I dont think there is any will about this and this kinda stuff is for the canvassing weeek please ;D
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr need eyes in the back of my head 8)
-
Carl Bilbo will win the ginger class but he may face stiff opposition from his old friend Minimopsical in the disabled class :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Its in the bag(gins) Teresa. It was like the scene from Saturday Night Fever when I mentioned the Cat Show, both of them preening and brushing. Bilbo even had a bib on when he ate his tea.
-
Oooo i won't be so sure Carl ;) There's some Gingies in stiff opposition :evillaugh: :evillaugh: (not mentioning names ere Gill :shify:)
-
Paddy's very anxious. Says he knows his meowmy is hopeless at all this posting piccies thing and he just hopes that nice Mrs Tan lady will be able to do something with his piccies. He says he will e-mail them to Mrs Tan Lady if Mrs Tan Lady cant get his meowmy to do it. He's never heard about these cat show thingies before and dunt rate them much anyway, but this has got all of the Purrs pals on, so it's different........ :shy:
(an he sez his meowmy is fuffy at pooterin stuff - shoulda seen her trying to get colours on the cat basket last night - sheesh!) :Crazy:
-
No worries hun all ya need to do for the cat show is email ya pics to Gill with the form as we are posting them all up for the classes etc. ;)

Hi Ruth they are cool shame you have GREEN when you are in the red team :na na naa na: :na na naa na:
-
After asking for a class for cats grooming themselves, I've just noticed : "77. Washing". Is this the same as grooming, or does it refer to bathing, such as before a cat show?
-
Hmm good point Dave. Show Boss will be on tonight to letcha know :)
-
I think I will let the owner/carers make there own decision of what the classes mean in these two cases :evillaugh: :evillaugh: :evillaugh:
-
Ok Tan you can sort this :censored: thread out again, none of those posts should be on it grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
This thread is mine and just for the classes and thats why its locked :sick:

Now Modesses you need to learn to modify and delete stuff and set up a poll so get cracking on this thread :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
The green reds and pinks are soooo confusing, well i guess its the green party gone mad, they have devolved into shades :evillaugh: :evillaugh: :evillaugh:
-
Thought I would just pop in and see how the other half work :shify:
Not very well it seems :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
Aye aye boss! :rofl: hee
-
Very quick and stupid question (before Dr Who comes on) - Which class do Tortie-tabbies go into???
Many Thanks
Lyn
-
Hmm It can be class 21 & 22 and any relevent open class ;D
-
Hmm It can be class 21 & 22 and any relevent open class ;D
Ok just to complicate things a little futher - Miss Fearne (who I want to enter) is mainly Tortie & White - but she has tabby bits (Left leg red tabbie, right leg black tabbie, tabbie tail, little M thing on her forehead) :Crazy:
So thats class 21, 22 & possibly 23 anymore???
PS: You people are going to bankrupt me :rofl:
-
Hmm that then qualifies for class 21, 22, 23, hee hee but we dont have an M mark class :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
just a quick question ... when will the email addresses be going up that we need to send our pics to.
-
Yes soon hun xx
-
We are just calaberating on the colour classes to confirm which babe should be going into which in the non ped sections classes 13 to 23 and will post to make those groups clearer.
-
Have sent you an email....
-
Ok i made a boo boo on the colour non ped classes (soory i was getting carried away with excitement :rofl: )
The classes between 13 and 23 are for babes as follows
13. White - Solid colour
14. Black -Solid colour
15. Black and white -Solid colour
16. Blue/Grey -Solid colour
17. Blue/Grey and white -Solid colour
18. Ginger/Red Tabbys
19. Ginger/Red Tabbys and white
20. Tortie Calico and Dilute
21. Tortie - (all other than Calico and Dilute)
22. Tabby - (all other than white and tabby)
23. Tabby and white
Basically your babe should fit into one of the colour classes as above which best describes his or her colouring. If ya have any questions maybe it's best not to ask me :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl
-
Don't mean to be picky but I don't think you can get solid ginger/red non-pedigrees, same for ginger & white. Every ginger cat I've ever seen has been of the tabby variety, I just did a search on google images and only ginger tabbies came up there too :scared:
I've already entered Tiggy in the ginger class - do I need to change it?
-
Hi Hun
very good point. Will check with the others. :Luv: :cuddle:
-
Just to try and clear! the confusion over the colour classes. 8)
All gingers/ reds are red tabbys but but because there are so many ginger/red cats on Purrs, I deliberately split them from other tabbys.
So yes Helen you are right that Tiggy goes in the ginger class and also that there is no such thing as a ginger/red solid colour ;D
I will amend tans post below to reflect this.
Sooooooooooooooo all tabbys of any colour cept red/ginger belong in the tabby class ot if also with white , then tabby and white class.
Reds/gingers have a class of there own and all other collours are as Tan posted solid colours and solid colour and white.
One other small point is that any non-pedigree cats that have some spots or mackrel markings will go into tabby classes and as bengals are pedigrees and have there own classes, we dont jave a problem , with mackrels, marbles or spots :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
I know somebody has mentioned about tabby torties, well they go in the tortie class unless dilute or calico and they go in that class. ;D
wow, I hope this covers all the cats now but if you dont know which colour class your cat belongs in, please post here and we will try and untangle our brain cells and work iy out for you. :shify: :shify: :shify:
-
Hi there. Thought I had best get my act together and am beginning to compile my photos. Sorry if this has been asked before (haven't got time to trawl thru all posts on this thread) but category 81 (Best friends) will by definition have more than one furry feline in photo. Er do I enter same photo twice for each puddie in pic? :rofl:
-
No, the price is per photo, so if it has 2 cats in, its still £1 ;D
-
Great thanks hun. ;D
Just pop the pic of them both on one of the babes forms. so for instance i sent in one of Gizzy and Rio and put that pic and entry on Rio's form. As Gilly says it £1 only for that pic.
£1 per photo per class. :thanks: :thanks:
-
Does it matter which is the first named cat for the purposes of deciding where to send the pic?
-
Hi Dave
I sent in 2 different pics of Billy and Freddie togther, one under Freddie's entry and another under Billy's entry as I couldn't decide whose entry to put the best friends photo on and it all goes to a good cause. Hope that's OK ladies?
-
"a cat can only enter a class once"
Now I am worried. Did I do wrong Gill by entering best friends photos of the duo for Billy and then a different one for Freddie? If so, can you delete the one from Freddie's entry please Gill?
-
Yes thats great Rosella thanks hun and thanks for the payment too.
Ooo getting exciting now ;D ;D
Dave nope no worries which babe is named 1st. If ya have an entry form per babe and he/she is entered in different classes, you can send all those pics with the form to one mod together.
You send it to the mod that has been allocated the lowest class you have chosen. Ie My Rio was say entered in class 25, 47,52, i sent all them to Ellie who has been allocated the lowest class of 25.
If ya can name all the pic files with the cats name and class number that pic is entering so we don't get any mistakes to the right class.
Thanks so much :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
Think thats ok hun as they are diff pics but will let Gilly confirm when she is on tonight :Luv:
-
Cheers Tan. I'll see what Gilly oracle has to say.
Hope you're picking up tips for the rules for your cat show Dave!
Can't believe I have this difficulty as, if you turned the clocks back only a few months, the idea of me having one, let alone two, photos of these 2 boys together was but a distant dream :Luv: Oh dear, could that be construed as canvassing on the wrong thread? :scared:
-

:) It's great Billy and Freddie are close now hun :) I didn't notice any canvassing ;)
We will prob could do with some tips from Dave. We learning all the time to to make things fair :rofl:
-
Tell me what is "darby and joan" class LOL :Crazy:
-
Oh meant to say this is a freakin nightmare...Do you know how long and the difficulty i had trying to find a "smiley" photo of cody :rofl: (ok how hard it was choosing one LOL)
-
I'm learning too, and with a similar steep learning curve! :rofl:
If I can think of anything helpful I will of course pass it on, but so far you're doing great. It's important to keep it fun, and you've done that IMHO. I'd like to win something obviously, but I'm just looking forward to taking part.
You've also managed not only to keep it fair, but to make it obvious that it's fair.
-
Tell me what is "darby and joan" class LOL :Crazy:
Fur babes that are getting on in their years :)
-
oh ok then ta..i still have no idea as to why though LOL. :Crazy:
-
http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-dar1.htm (http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-dar1.htm) This link should help.
-
Rosella, yes the two pictures are OK in this class, under the 2 different names, but would not be OK for other classes ;D
Darby and Joan, I think you got the answer..................older cats :rofl: :rofl:
-
Thanks dave, never heard of that before.
-
Have often heard the phrase Darby and Joan but had no idea it had such a history. Really interesting
Cheers Dave
Also thanks for that Gill. Glad I don't have to choose which entry gets withdrawn after all.
-
For the red/red tabby non ped class does that have to have absolutely no white on at all? I'm not sure whether Jaffa goes into class 18 or 19. He has a small amount of white on his chin, as a lot of gingers do, but no white anywhere else - does that class him as ginger and white? or just ginger? :rofl:
-
Susanne can u send me a copy of a picture of him and I will tell you , thanks ;D
-
Sorry Gill - didn't send you a pic. But I've decided the white on his chin is so minimal that it would be daft to call him ginger and white since he has no white at all anywhere else.
-
I got all Jaffa's and am hard pressed to see any white so he's gone in the Ginger/Red class.
Also S.. moved your Mosi ones for 32 to 38... you typo'd the number.
-
OK thats fine Susanne ;D
-
I got all Jaffa's and am hard pressed to see any white so he's gone in the Ginger/Red class.
Also S.. moved your Mosi ones for 32 to 38... you typo'd the number.
Ah right - it may have been class 31? Is there anything else for class 31? If not the one I put for 32 will be for that (juvenile rather than adult) - I may have got the classes mixed up as Jaffa goes into class 32 (adult) and Mosi into 31 (juvenile)
-
Nope was 38, 2 entries for that one, see the names of the files you sent me and the class (at least that's what I figured since you named the photos for the class as well).. you sent for 31 too so that one sorted.
-
ah right - yes there should be 2 entries for class 38
-
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: sounds like double doutch to me :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
