I took Pinball to a show on Saturday and he did so well :) None of the judges seemed keen on finalling the Norwegians unfortunately and so only 2 Norwegians got 1 final each.
Pinball was told he is of outstanding type and that his behaviour was inpeccable for an boy (it seemed almost every female at the show was calling so most boys were being a bit temperamental although Pinball just went for chatting them up through the pen dividers :evillaugh:) however he did get moaned at that he was moulting everywhere despite being brushed constantly and the heat of the show hall didn't exactly help that.
He's a funny boy as at home he's quite nervous with people and if a stranger tried to pick him up he'd probably panic but at a show he struts round his pen and then he's a perfectly relaxed boy for judging and sits in his pen in the ring quite happily and lets them handle him no problem. Noone believes me that he's the world's biggest wuss at home :evillaugh:
In 6 rings he got:
6 Best in Colour
6 Best In Division
6 Best of Breed
He got finalled by 1 judge and was 5th Best Longhaired Cat
He didn't quite get enough points to get his next title but he only needs to win 70 points at the next show to get it.
Here’s my boy! (sorry pics are a bit rubbish this time)

Have to say both boys looking wonderful and both a credit to you Lottie with all the extra work both are causing you what with moulting and tube feeding!
Congratulations to Pinball - he is quite the hunk!
