One more from the Darak cat show in Ølstykke on Sunday. Caithlin watches two British ladies on the other side of the aisle. Dushara Cathal Caithlin (Somali), 06.08.2017. Olympus OMD EM5 Digital Camera

This weekend Caithlin was at Darak's two-day show in Ølstykke, Denmark - her first since last November. On both days she won her CAPS certificates and was nominated for the stage show by judges Laura Scholten and Vladimir Isakov. But she was not the only great cat present, so this time she did not win Best In Show in her category. On Sunday however, Laura Scholten awarded her Best Veteran, so she brought home a trophee and food prize after all... :) Dushara Cathal Caithlin (Somali) at Darak's show in Ølstykke, Denmark, 25.09.2016.

On Sunday Bastian once more won the Best In Show (housecat) at the Darak cat show in Vallensbæk. Judge Flavia Capra fell for his round tomcat face, just as we did when we first saw him at the shelter... Simple Minds: Glittering Prize (1982). Posted for the Eyes of March group.

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).

Not my cat, but the amazing German Rex cat "Kaiser vom Hause Hamann", who won Best In Show (Gr.IV male) at the show in Strøby on both Saturday and Sunday. The curly German Rex breed is still fairly new to Scandinavia, so my friends Miiaa Gråsten and Kevin Prahl of One World cattery in Malmö were of course over the Moon with joy.

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.

Not my cat, but I can't help getting charmed by this little flat nosed tabby lady. Her name is CC Qi and she is owned by our friend Lene Mathews, who is disabled and uses a wheelchair. At the shows CC Qi usually sits on her owner's lap and gets wheeled around the hall... :) Alacoccios CC Qi (Exotic Shorthair) at Darak cat show, Virum, Denmark, 05.03.2016.

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

Rags with judge Fabio Brambilla, who gave him his 11th CAPS (Certificat Aptitude au Premium Supreme de Beaute). Rags now is Supreme Premier - a title that we have been working towards for almost three years. Dushara Tatters and Rags (Somali) at Darak Cat Show in Dragør, 10.08.2014.

Rags gets a final briefing from his trainer before going on the judge's table. Actually he does not need much advice as he has about 40 show days in all by now... Dushara Tatters and Rags (Somali) at Darak Cat Show in Dragør, 09.08.2014. Olympus E-.400 Digital Camera - shot by my wife Lene.
