A walk outside offers a good opportunity to check the news, look for birds and find out what the neighbour cats are up to... Dushara Tatters and Rags (Somali), 13.04.2017 Olympus OMD EM5 Digital Camera

Here it is Bastian's turn, but both boys still have great fun playing with their Catch-Me-If-You-Can - also known as " Petlinks Mystery Motion ". Bastian (mixed breed), 17.04.2017. Olympus OMD EM5 Digital Camera

Rags posing elegantly - as muscular and well trimmed as when he was neutered 5½ years ago. Bruce Springsteen: Born to Run , 1975 His harnes is just a standard H-type and I don't recall where we got it. The leash is a spiral "bungee" that came with Snow White's Come-with-me-Kitty harness. Much more from my walks with Snow White and Rags in the album " Walking the cat " and also in the video " Snow White Goes Walking " Dushara Tatters and Rags (Somali), 13.04.2017 Olympus OMD EM5 Digital Camera

On Sunday Rags and I crossed the waters and went to Sydkatten's show in Malmö, Sweden. Rags already has reached the top title of Supreme Premier, but was awarded his HP (Honoury Prize) all right by Jørgen Billing in Class 2. Best ruddy Somali neuter of the Day was our friend Carlos - and rightfully so. Rags is a fine looking cat, but Carlos is perfect. Later Rags went on to the special Veteran class. Having recently celebrated his 10th birthday, this was his first appearance as a "Group IV Over-10 Veteran". Judge Luigi Comorio chose him to win the trophy - and lots of food to bring home. But the wins aside - most important is that Rags enjoys going to shows. Much of the day he can sit on my lap and enjoy cuddles from the visitors. His kind personality makes him the perfect ambassador for the Somali breed. Dushara Tatters and Rags (Somali) at Sydkatten's show, Malmö, Sweden, 09.04.2017. Olympus OMD EM5 Digital Camera
