Ccmacey, no, she's not a British Blue at all. Pearl is a little non-ped of indeterminate parentage. She may have some pedigree somewhere in her ancestry, but to be honest, there is no way of telling.
Gods yes Tan, I am very proud of my little girl. And I suspect my pics are good because I have a very sweet and picturesque subject...
Team Pearl will hit the show bench in the new year, we've just had our entry for our next show confirmed. Of course I'll keep y'all posted.
It isn't so bad showing, Tan. The basics are pretty simple, but non-peds have it harder because the judging is so subjective, especially in the miscellaneous classes. I mean how can one objectively judge a cat like Pearl against a big, handsome chunky Maine Coon lookalike?
The main rules to remember are things like not advertising your or your cat's presence at a future show (so you can't say which show you're going to - unless it is non-GCCF), making sure that your cat is healthy and has no scabs, no bald bits, clean ears etc to get through vetting in and not talking to the judges while they are working. A lot of stuff is just common sense really and as I've found out, there are a lot of very helpful and friendly people.
