The winning moment caught on camera... Posted for the " Happy Caturday " theme "If your cat were a famous person". Today Bastian was at the Darak cat show in Vallensbæk. First he competed against 3 other male "house cats" and judge Elena Zagorskaya declared him the winner. At the stage show he met the winning female, Miss Bilka, who was World Winner 2013 and still wins most of her shows. It ended in a tie, so Boris Lupan was called in as a referee judge and he chose Bastian for Best In Show. A great feather in his cap... :) Bastian (mixed breed) 04.03.2017 (vidcap).

Yesterday our shelter adoptee Bastian was at Racekatten cat show in Nærum to pick up the club's Top Cat award for being the Best Housecat (mixed breed) in 2016. The Somalis stayed at home, but Caithlin was awarded three prizes for her achievements in the previous season: No.1 Veteran (all breeds, shared 1st), No.2 Category IV (male/female, fertile/neuter) and No.5 Neuter (all categories). On the table Bastian once more performed flawlessly and the judge Lene Glem loved his looks and personality. She awarded him Best In Show housecat (mixed breed), but also recommended that he should not gain any more weight.. ;) Bastian (mixed breed) at Racekatten cat show in Nærum, Denmark, 05.02.2017.

Yesterday at Racekatten's cat show Bastian once more competed in the mixed breed category. Here are some vidcaps from the stage show... The judge Åsa Hammarlund particularly liked his fine mackarel markings and the fact that he looks like a "real housecat" without showing any signs of having other breeds in him. And also his wonderful temperament - once more he was relaxed and confident on the judge's table and among all the other cats. In a close competition the judge awarded him Best In Show mixed breed . He has now proven that his first win was not just a lucky strike - he is a perfect housecat and a great show cat too... Last summer Bastian was sitting in a cage at a shelter - now he is representing all the great adult cats that are waiting for adoption. We are so grateful we found him. ♥ :) Caithlin was at the show too and won her 4th CAPS certificate on the way to her next title. Judge Eric Reijers nominated her for the stage show, which was won by another fine neuter. She did however win a Best In Show Veteran in Cat.IV, which explains the second trophe on the picture... :) Bastian (mixed breed) at Racekatten cat show in Hvidovre, Denmark, 08.05.2016.

Bastian was so cool I could place him on my chair and he would remain seated. He seemed to enjoy all the new impressions and also getting cuddles from the visitors to the show.

Bastian too has now won a Best In Show - just like Rags and Caithlin. On Saturday he was at the Darak cat show and competed against other mixed breed cats. The judge Laura Scholten liked his looks and personality, so she nominated him as best male. Later on stage he beat the best female and became Best In Show mixed breed. This was only his second show, but all the way through he was relaxed and confident and I believe the show was a good experience for him. Half a year ago Bastian was a homeless shelter cat - now he is an example of what great adult cats are up for adoption. We are so proud of our sweet and gentle boy.♥ :) Bastian (mixed breed) at Darak cat show in Virum, Denmark, 05.03.2016. Olympus OMD EM5 Digital Camera
