On Sunday Caithlin was at Racekatten's show in Køge, Denmark. Her judge in Class 6 Helene Lis awarded her the CAGPIB certificate and nomination for the stage show. On stage the panel voted her Best in Show (group III, female, neuter). This was her 6th Best In Show and 11th Nomination in 12 shows... :) Sorry for the poor vidcap quality.

Rags decides to pull rank by seating himself in Bastian's favourite chair. The newcomer gets the footstool... Dushara Tatters and Rags (Somali) & Bastian (mixed breed), 23.09.2015 Olympus OMD EM5 Digital Camera

Bastian resting in his new favourite chair. It used to be mine, but I can sit elsewhere... ;) Bastian (mixed breed), 20.09.2015. Olympus OMD EM5 Digital Camera

Just one look from Caithlin was all it took to persuade Bastian to move down from the chair she wanted... Dushara Cathal Caithlin & Dushara Tatters and Rags (Somalis), Bastian (mixed breed), 18.09.2015 Olympus OMD EM5 Digital Camera

Men don't have to say much to have a meaningful conversation... ;) Dushara Tatters and Rags (Somali) & Bastian (mixed breed), 18.09.2015 Olympus OMD EM5 Digital Camera

Added to Explore 19.09.2015 late in the day - and dropped the next morning... Bastian so much wants his new housemates to play catch with him. Caithlin is interested, but still a bit reluctant and if he gets too close she'll call out for Rags to help her...

Rags also wants to play, but at the same time he has to show some dignity to maintain his position as First Cat of the House... Bastian (mixed breed) & Dushara Tatters and Rags (Somali), 16.09.2015 Olympus OMD EM5 Digital Camera

He loves playing in the rustling tunnel, although it is almost too small for him. Bastian (mixed breed), 13.09.2015. Olympus OMD EM5 Digital Camera

A peaceful scene from last night. Rags and Caithlin are to be respected, so Bastian waits patiently for his turn. Dushara Tatters and Rags, Dushara Cathal Caithlin (Somalis) & Bastian (mixed breed), 16.09.2015 Olympus OMD EM5 Digital Camera

Bastian loves the feather wand and all the other toys here in his new home. He is very playful and runs around chasing all kinds of objects. At first this behaviour scared Rags and Caithlin, but now they have gotten used to him... Bastian (mixed breed), 13.09.2015. Olympus OMD EM5 Digital Camera

Three days after bringing them together the tensions are almost gone and they can sit together in a fairly relaxed manner. Bastian (mixed breed), Dushara Tatters and Rags & Dushara Cathal Caithlin (Somalis), 15.09.2015 Olympus OMD EM5 Digital Camera

Here Rags and Caithlin are confirming their friendship after the ordeal, while Bastian is looking. :) The "bringing together" of Bastian and the Somalis have been completed according to plan and in relative harmony - i.e with a minimum of hissing and growling and no serious fighting. They don't love each other, but they can be in the same room - well done for adult cats aged 5 to 8½...
