I can't quite believe it but Velvet and I headed off to our first TICA show on saturday and my boy did me sooo proud - He came home a TICA champion :Luv:
There were 150 cats there in total and around 80 bengals (can you imagine 80 bengals in one room!). Velvet obtained 4 x 1st colour, 1 x 1st in Division, 2 x 2nd Division, 1 x 3rd Division in four rings. He also obtained 1st in colour and 3rd in Division in the Bengal Cat Congress. The icing on the cake was of course when american judge Susan Lee finalled Velvet, announcing he was her 5th favourite bengal and 8th best cat in show. :Luv:
This gave Velvet a total of 310 points plus the final he needed to make him Champion (CH) Gayzette Lightning Strike ;) I am sooo proud of my boy!!!
Rainbow also had a good day, kitten class was very competitive having 32 bengal kittens in it! My girl obtained 1 x 1st in colour, 1 x 2nd in colour and 2 x 3rd in colour She also obtained a 3rd in colour in the bengal kitten congress and narrowly missed the final. Excellent result for my baby :Luv:
Best of all, we finally met Sam (Fussy Furball) - it was lovely to meet you Sam. Hope the benglys lived up to their pics ;)

Couple of pics of my boy. In the first one he is being judged in one of his four rings, the second one is in his final where he received 5th best bengal and 8th best cat (and his CH of course!) and the final one is a tired if rather triumphant velvet at the end of his very successful day :Luv:
Apologies the quality of my pics does seem to go downhill at these shows LOL.

Congratulations Linda and Velvet. :Luv: :Luv:
80 Bengal's in one room, Heaven.
He is one super boy. Though Lenny just has the edge, I love that boy.
Zubi slept with us last night, and he slept on my pillow purring in my ear..... it was fab. So relaxing and reassuring.
Any news on the Novells???. Hope Nova is feeling ok and not getting too nervous. Big hugs and kiss' to her.xxxxx

Thanks everyone, its been a fab weekend as I am sure you can imagine :evillaugh: Even better no work this week ;)
No word on the NoVels yet Gail, promise I will let you know. ;)
-
is Novel code for something or am I being dense?
-
He is such a picture perfect boy... well, simply a puuurrrrrfect boy for that matter!! :Luv:
Don't worry Linda, the excellent subject matter makes up for any level of photographing skills :evillaugh: :evillaugh: :evillaugh:
-
Wow! I've not seen many Bengals in my time but that colour really is striking! Is it normal for the colours to be so distinguished? That has to be one of the most beautiful tabbies I have ever seen (i would say the best but I can't forget my little angel moggie "Humbug" on the Bridge, and that's just cos I'm biased!)
-
Great result and I have never seen a bengal live yet and 80 in one room , my goodness ;D
Is that Novelles :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
Linda..... more pics of Rainbow pls.. Pls make it so.. Really, between you and Sam I would think you're trying to deprive us!!
-
LOL Ruth, I have a confession to make..............I forgot my camera too :evillaugh:
The pics I have of Velvet were as a result of me nicking a camera off a breeder who was there showing so I could capture my boy in his moment of glory :rofl:
The kindly person then e-mailed them to me last night LOL.
I promise I will have more pics of Rainbow v soon. On holiday this week so have lots of opportunity ;)
-
Just typical! :evillaugh:
I think all of us are going to hold you to that. I've been having serious bengly withdrawal recently!
-
Congratulations - what a stunning cat!
-
Best of all, we finally met Sam (Fussy Furball) - it was lovely to meet you Sam. Hope the benglys lived up to their pics ;)
Ahh that's so sweet Linda ... I'm sure meeting lil ole me wasn't really the highlight of the day :rofl: As for the Benglys living up to the pics ... YES YES YES ... infact they are 100% better in the flesh fur - you can't cuddle a picture ;)
Congratulations to Champion Velvet and Rainbow :Luv:
-
Thanks Sam x
Rainbow did tell me that her cuddle with you was the highlight of her day so no arguments ok ;)
-
:blow kiss:
-
Oh Linda I wish I had known as Lutterworth is not far from me and I could have had a bengly cuddle :shy: and met you of course ;)
:1st place: to Velet and Rainbow :Luv: :Luv: you must be such a proud Mummy ;D
Love and cuddles to my wee Nova :Luv: :Luv:

Velvet and Rainbow say thank you and Nova sends her Auntie Ellie big hugs :hug:
-
Well done to your gang Linda - bet you're proud of your twosome! ;D
I'm thinking of trying TICA in the new year - there are two shows in MK that look like possibilities, so we may bump into you there I hope.
-
Hi Witty, thanks so much, I am very proud :Luv:
Yes I do plan on doing more TICA in 2008, was good fun! Hopefully we will meet at one ;)

Cool, will PM you re my TICA plans as and when I get them sorted out. ;)
Perhaps we can bench together if we do the same shows? I have friends who show with TICA (both HP & ped) who have invited me to bench with them too. The more the merrier! ;D
-
Yes that would be great Witty :Luv: Look forward to hearing from you :)
