Today the Breed Club show of Neocat was held.

Chenoa won her second CAP.

Baileys his last CAPIB, so he now is a International Premior also. He also won BIV.

Jarod became Best of Honour Class in the Shorthair division.

Qelvinn won Excellent 1 and was BIS BSH male kitten 3-6 months.

And last but definitely not least CC won her Excellent 1, became BIV (Best Selkirk Rex) and won BIS female kitten 6-10 months 'Other Breeds'.

A very good day for the cats!!!

The long dreaded moment was finally there. Paco was moving.

He moved all the way to Florianopolis, which is an island just along the coast of Brazil. Maura and her husband came to pick him up themselves and Geneviève staid home to welcome them.

They were visiting relatives in Europe, so a small detour to the Netherlands was a small thing. As the already had a seperate suit case for Paco filled with toys, we are certain that he will be spoiled rotten and will be treated like a king.

We are so going to miss you Paco!!! Who knows maybe we'll visit one day.

Raymond in the mean while was at the show in Antwerp (Belgium).

It was Chenoa's first time back to the show benches since a long time. She won her first CAP, got a special price from the judge and was NBIS.

Jarod won his third and therefore last CACE which made him a European Champion!!! He also was NBIS.

Today is Callista's first birthday. Hoorah!

And as expected we are at the show in Oud Gastel.

It was a super day. It seldom happens that the day flies by.

Madinka won her second CACIB. Barbara was also there with her litter sister Meetsi! It was very funny to see both girls together after all that time. Meetsi won her first CAC and later on also became BIV !!! Barbara and Meetsi congratiolations!!!

Cassie won a 'special price Honour Cllass' after a lot of hassle. Something had gone wrong with the organisation and the judging of the Honour Class did not go as it should. But we think they've handled it great and we even got a cup for 'Honour Class' home.

Jarod won his second CACE and was NBIS, which he lost from a gorgeous Bengal (who later on went to become BOB SH).

Baileys won his second CAPIB and became BIS male neuter BSH. What was even more fun.... from the 8 BIS cats (and even the BOB), 6 came from our ring and all owners were sitting a the same table with us. We threw quite a party in our ring!

Girls, same show next year???

As we were travelling all the way to Velbert (Germany) for a catshow, we left home on friday evening and checked into a hotel which was 15 minutes away from the show hall. It was definitely worth our while (the hotel and the show).

Baileys won his first CAPIB, Madinka her first CACIB and became BIV of all Bicolors her judge had seen that day. Jarod won his first CACE and became Rassesieger (Best Selkirk Rex) and was NBIS.

We were very impressed by the show cages there. They where 70x70x70 (cm's off course) in size. We had 4 cages and the 2 cages next to us where empty. It ment that we had 4,2 meters of space to settle in. It was so luxurious!

The NVVK-show in Dordrecht.

Baileys won his last CAP, so he now also is a neuter champion (Premior) and also was NBIS. 

Madinka got her last CAC and that makes her a Champioen now.

It was Qelvinn's first show being only 14,5 weeks old, and he won Exc1 and was NBIS.

Unfortunately like the years before the cats we very impressed by the running kids on the balcony above the rings where we were seated. This resultet in a trip to the night GP for Geneviève because a kitten from a friend freaked up and tried to escape her grip by biting and scratching her. It wasn't the kittens fault, it were those damn running kids. So after the visit to the GP Geneviève had a tetanus shot and antibiotics as a bonus to the show day. The owner had to undergo the same. We hope that next year the organisation will be stricter about the children running around at a show or that the parents will keep their children in line. A cat show is NOT a playground!!!

The NKU-SARA show in Rotterdam. We collected all title points we needed. Jarod now is a Great International Champion. 

For the complete results we refer to: Showresults 2007

Early in the morning to Heinenoord.

Ambaràn got tested for HCM for the sixth time and Dilayla for the second time.

With them everything was also okay.

Today Prue (renamed Lilo) moved to the Steen family in Beverwijk.

And again it's a lot quieter in the house. Prue just loves to cuddle, so we are definitely going to miss her.

We're glad that Paco is still staying with us a little while longer.

The new show season starts today. We travelled to St. Job i/h Goor in Belgium.

Orissa got a nice judge's report with Exc 2.

Madinka won her first CAC.

Jarod his second CAGCI and became BIV (Best Selkirk Rex) over 10 cats.

It was Baileys first time on the show bench after he left his balls at the vet and he won his first CAP and became BIV and BIS.

A great start of our show season!!!

It was quite exciting, the tripp might needed to be cancelled because of the footh and mouth brake outs in the UK. So we were keeping our fingers crossed.... luckily the ban on shipping (domestic) animals was cancelled. So around 5.45 a.m. we were in the car to Calais. The crossing with the train went smoothly and before we knew it we were driving to the east of England (which was also about three hours). We were so happy to finally see Ollie (Liam) again and wow he has grown so much!!! He's almost surpassing his sire Baileys in size already so it's promising for the future. We were also very happy to see Stefen and Claire again. We were very lucky because Stef was celebrating his birthday. So after a round along all their pets we settled down in the sunlight garden with the other guests. Most important was off course that we finally were able to take CC (Cleverclogs) in our arms. We did not wait for her as long as Stefan and Claire had to wait for Ollie (about 7 months), but she was worth every second of the 4,5 month we had to wait. What gorgeous other kittens they had! We tried to sneak some extra ones in the travel crate, but when Ollie settled down in there, there just wasn't any room left. He probably thought he was going back to his mom and dad with us. Unfortunately we couldn't leave our cats alone another day so we had to travel back home the same day. Else we'd definitely would have staid longer. Around 0.15 a.m. we were back home.

Madinka en Lola had their first test on HCM today. All was okay. 

They were also tested on PKD (negative off course).

Also today Sylvester (Orestes) moved. He spent a long time searching for his mommy(s), but settled down real soon after that.

We have a busy day scheduled so we're out and about ealy in the morning.

First we take Daisy (8 years) and Baileys (5 years) to Heinenoord for their HCM test. It was Daisy's fifth time. But it's still nervewrecking. And because Daisy was neutered in 2005, we since then only test her every two years. For Baileys this was the fourth test. Baileys was neutered in march this year so we will continue to test him every two years. Everything was ok.

Today Claire and Stefen came over from the UK to collect Ollie (Liam).

We are really going to miss him, but know he is in good hands!!!

See you soon Ol!
