Show Bengals |

|
of Rosettea Cattery |

Below are a few fun pictures of my experiences at an average weekend cat
show. I travel from coast to coast across Canada & the U.S.A. to show
my Bengals. It has been a wonderful experience for me, as I have met many
interesting people and seen many beautiful cats along the way!

Typical
spectator turn out at any given cat
show. |
|
|
|
I
display up to 4 plexi-glass cages which
are use for exhibition only. The
public has a great view of my Bengals as
the cats are able to relax peacefully in
their beds. |

Avalanche
is all primped up before he goes into the judge's
ring! |
|
| Cat
shows are held throughout the year and a 'champagning
cat' may show 1 to 2 shows monthly.
This career is not meant for the average
cat. These show cats must enjoy
traveling by car or airplane, staying away
from home in hotels and being handled by
strangers (the judges). |
|
It
takes a very special cat to be a great
show cat!!! |

Regional
& National Awards |
|
At
the end of the show season both Regional
& National points are totaled. |
|
|
After
Avalanche's points were added up, he received
Regional top honours of 'Best
Kitten' in Ontario.
|
|
Once
the Regional Awards are calculated, then
the National Awards are celebrated at our Awards Banquet Dinner. There the
trophies are awarded.
Avalanche received top honours of 'Best
Kitten' in Canada. This is the
highest possible award that is handed out
in the Kitten Class by the Canadian Cat
Association. |

Millwood Inner Safari of Rosettea CNW
|
|
Safari
was my first show Bengal. He was the
ambassador of the Bengal breed into Canada
in the mid 90's. He handled
wonderfully with the judges and made the
audience gasp as he was placed on the
judge's table.
During Safari's show career, he achieved 5th
Best Cat Nationally and 4th
Best Cat Regionally. This was quite
an honor for the Bengal breed at the time. |

Rosettea Sunday Sizzler CNW
|
I
also enjoyed showing one of my pet Bengals
named Sizzler. He was shown as an
Alter.
During his show season, he competed neck'n
neck against a judge's Abyssinian
cat. Not that I am saying that there
was any prejudice, but Sizzler ended up
winning 2nd Best Alter
Nationally and 2nd Best Alter
Regionally! |
