Arcadia California January 15-16 My first cat show.

I was showing Kutabays Tidal Wave of Bellagio A.K.A. Titus

Titus got 500 points but didnt get his final for his Championship title.

His hair was sticking up due to the blowdrying I did the night before the show!

Note to self, dont do that again!!! :)

Here is a quick pic I got of him in his show cage.

CABAZON, CA  March 12-13 2005

This show was by far the greatest show I think I will ever experience. I just had so much fun!!!

I was showing the following cats:

CH Kutabays Tidal Wave of Bellagio---AKA "Titus"

Jungleroads Limited Edition of Bellagio-AKA "Chops"

This show at Cabazon had a Bengal Congress each day. Which means one judge each day judges nothing but bengals and gets to final TEN Bengals! Which means more chances for finals for us Bengal owners.

The morning of the show everyone is setting up and getting ready and grooming and eating. The Bengal congress started in ring 6 with Judge Jeff Roberts. This was a first congress for alot of us Bengal Breeders so we were all very excited. I was praying Titus would be in the top ten. When going thru the top ten I noticed that Jeff had put up ten, then nine, then eight, and so on. I was wondering if he had left Titus' number up there on accident. I was gripping my camera for the life of me antisipating what number his ribbon was going to be, but still just as thrilled he made the top ten. Then to my suprise it was the top five. I wispered to Natalie of Kutabays (my very good friend and mentor who I couldnt have done this without) "He's in the top five Natalie!!!!" (silently giggling to myself). Then it was down to the final two bengals. "Ducati" of Summermist Bengals and MY BOY??? I was, as you could imagine, wanting to jump out of my skin. But my knees were really knocking! Jeff took out my boy explained what he liked and said he was in the top two.

Jeff then asked the crowd of Bengal spectators "I bet your wondering what Im gonna do?" (something to that effect. And took out Ducati and said what he liked about him and placed him second!!! I really really wanted to just friggin cry. But I knew I couldnt. I think Jeff suprised me as much as he did the crowd. A SNOW? AND A MARBLE????? FIRST???? Out of all the beautiful Bengals these wonderful breeders gave him he picked my boy first!!! I just couldnt beieve it. I stood the rest of the day looking at Titus and the ribbon and total disbelief. I really was expecting to wake up from a wonderful dream. I still am!!! LOL

The second day in Heather Roberts Bengal Congress he got fourth!!! I was still just as flabbergasted. I mean I knew when I bought Titus from Natalie he was a gorgious well put together boy complimented by a wonderful house cat loving temperment. But to have the judges see him and see him as I do just still makes me speechless. Titus got two more finals this weekend including another first in Mr. Roberts Specialty ring and another 8th in Mrs. Roberts Specialty ring. A total of FOUR Finals in one weekend. I just couldnt believe my eyes. WHAT A WONDERFUL SUPRISE!!!!!

I want to thank Natalie Sullivan and her mom Angela for taking me in and showing me everything, and to the judges who saw my boy for what he is! A CHAMP!!! Thank you so much!

    This was the show at the Pet Expo. I loved this show. We were in the breed booth

    with my baby boy Titus and my new silver from Gogees, Geranimo! There was

    also a small agility course there so the boys got to run and play.

    This was Geranimo's first time in a show hall. He was not showing but only there for

     the breed booth. Thank you Chuck and Connie Pealer for helping us out!!!

   TITUS got three finals in this show!!! And he became a DOUBLE GRAND!

  One BEST CAT in a Specialty Ring

  One Eighth best Cat in a Specialty Ring.

  And one 2nd Best cat in an Allbreed Ring.

  TITUS was a really good boy at this show.

We showed Titus, Jerry, Piper and Leo! WOW! We had our hands FULL! I will never show that many cats again. Now that my husband is home MAYBE! LOL!

We had a great show, with our two marbles being as cute as can be, and making a big debut! Our little brown marble girl, Piper, got a seventh best kitten final in the first bengal kitten congress. Over 110 bengal kittens from all over the world attended this show, and to even place in color and division is remarkable! But to final! PHEWWW! We were very pleased! Our little boy Leo held his own, although he got no finals, he did place in color and division, either first, second or third, in almost every single ring!

Titus got a THIRD BEST CAT in Jeff Roberts Specialty Ring! YAYYYY!!!!!

This was the TOUGHEST competition. And we LOVED seeing all the beautiful bengals and what the future holds for this breed! We are thrilled to be among some of the most ethical and moral breeders there are! Congrats to everyone!!!
