Today at Racekatten's show in Friheden, Copenhagen, Rags participated for the first time in the Danish "Pensioner" class for over 10 year olds - and judge Alexey Shchukin awarded him the trophee. He also was awarded an HP (Honoury Prize) in Class 2 by Charles Spijker. As always Rags enjoyed going to the show and all the cuddles and attention from prominent visitors - among which were our Flickr friend Ghita and her husband. :) Dushara Tatters and Rags (Somali). 07.05.2017.

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

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 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.
