Betty's World Show Kittens

Betty's Beauties

Just before I went to the World Show, Betty and Cracker were due their kittens anytime from the Sunday (23rd October) to the Tuesday (25th October). She'd shown signs of going into labour on Monday but not much happened thereafter and so I was on the phone to our vet and even took poor Betty up for him to examine- he told me not to panic but you see, Blue Boo and I were going to Poland on the Thursday and Steve doesn't "do" midwifery!

Anyway, Betty thankfully had the girls on Wednesday  26th October just in time and all was well. Her three girls are just gorgeous: 2 Black Torties and a Blue Tortie Blotched Tabby.They are all growing very well and are very sociable and very beautiful. Please scroll down for photos of the babes. If you'd like to know more then please phone Ali on 0208 529 8114.

Blue Tortie Blotched Tabby Girl- On Hold

World Winner's Show 2011, Poznan Poland

Well, I'm very late in posting this. It's been such a busy time and I just don't get chance to sit down at the computer.

We went along with several friends to the World Winner's Show in Poland on a road trip- it was a long way, but brilliant fun. Well, it was fun once I'd got the rear windsreen in the Audi replaced having driven the car out the garage in a blind panic at 6 a.m. without closing the tailgate... that was an expensice mistake. We had to book another crossing on the Eurotunnel and meet everyone in Germany. We met up with Fred and Andrea there and of coure our collective new stud cat Fatty whom they bred.

Still, Blue Boo and Cecilia's cat Alfie settled down in the back of the car with their litter trays and food and water and thoroughly enjoyed themselves in the hotels. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves eating and drinking lots in the hotels! Fatty proved to have the most superb temperament and he fitted right in with John and Caroline in their room.

The show was amazing- over 1500 cats from all over- Scandinavia, Germany, France, Greece, most of Europe plus Israel and Brazil. The trade stands were fantastic and so cheap compared to the UK. our pens attracted a lot of attention as we'd decorated them for Hallowe'en.

Alfie won BIV- we were over the moon. Fatty was 3rd in a big and strong class, and poor Blue Boo came 2nd to a cat mainly because his judge prefered Black cats to Blue cats. Still, the experience was great and the cats behaved impeccably.

We had the chance to make new friends and chat with old ones too- I'd go again if I can, but you need a cat with a bomb proof temperament. Blue Boo even came out on a harness for a walk- and he isn't even harness trained!
