This weekend I took the boys to a show arranged by the TICA club "Viking Cats" in Store Merløse. So far Bastian has only competed in FIFé, so this was his first experience with the TICA format, where the cats are on the judging tables more than once. By Sunday evening, after 12 rings and 12 finals, he had gathered enough points for the title "Quadruple Grand Master" . Here he is judged by Delsa Rudge, who awarded him a 1st place in her Household Pet Specialty final on Sunday. Bastian (mixed breed), 04.06.2017. Canon HFM46 Video Camera (vidcap)

Few cats would do this in front of a complete stranger, but with judge Åsa Broing Bastian pulled all the tricks - including rolling on his back for a good belly rub...

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).

On Saturday Bastian was at Katteklubben's cat show in Rishøjhallen, Køge, where judge Ad de Bruijn once more awarded him Best Housecat (mixed breed) for his temperament and coat condition.

On Saturday Bastian won his 5th Best In Show for Housecats (mixed breeds). The judge Ad De Bruijn really appreciated his personality and nominated him as best male for the panel. And on stage he took first over a lovely tortie female. Video from the show: Bastian at the Cat Show . On Sunday Bastian did not win nomination, but ended as an honorable runner-up after the very seasoned show cat Gold Nugget. Only fair as both are equally good cats - and also because Nugget's owner has announced his retirement from the shows after a great career. Caithlin is a bit tired of shows at the moment, so I only took her there on Saturday. She won her 9th CAPS certificate, so now she needs just two more for the Supreme Premier title, but we will take it slow... Bastian (mixed breed) at Darak's show in Strøby, Denmark, 05.11.2016.

The Swedish FIFé judge Hans G. Lindberg has unexpectedly died on November 21st 2016. The cat world will gratefully remember him for fair judging and for his evident love for every cat he handled. RIP, Hans. Vidcap collage of Rags with Hans Lindberg at Racekatten show in Sorø, February 2016. Dushara Tatters and Rags (Somali), 07.02.2016.

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.

Yesterday I took Rags to Racekatten's show in Sorø. Caithlin is taking a short break from the shows. so in her absence Rags stepped in. And he surpassed all expectations by becoming nominated and later winning the Best In Show (Category 4 neuter m/f). It's only his 5th Nomination and 2nd BIS in 34 FIFé shows, but when an old circus horse smells the sawdust, it dances. And he sure did... :) Sorry for the poor vidcap quality.

Then Bastian was inspected, handled, litfted and turned around by with judge Jörgen Frithiof - and he took it all in his stride... Bastian (mixed breed) at Racekatten cat show in Herlev, Denmark, 06.12.2015. Canon Digital Video Camera
