... your One-Stop about the happenings in Asian cat fancy

This is my second time as FSM-CFA exhibitor and I took this oppurtunity to enrol my mix-Persian, Speedy for this show. I had ‘pumped’ Speedy so that he’ll be gaining some weight but he gained approximately 200gm (4.9kg now). Since Speedy a fussy eater and he does not eat much in 1 go, I had to resort feeding him 3-4 times a day by adding nutrition supplements such as ginseng in powder form (for pets), Nutrical (his favorite) and Brewer Yeast. Grooming him is also another challenge since Speedy had long and ‘cottonish’ fur and blow dry him needs hell lots of patience and time. Getting Speedy to sit on the grooming table is no easy task since he don’t usually sit long at 1 spot for long. Therefore, a lot of short breaks (and Nutrical) are needed to get him 100% dry.

Here he is in the 4 days 3 nights in Melaka:

Above: Nope!! This is not Speedy. This is Speedy’s roomate, FullMetal. He is a Maine Coon and he had been ‘harrassing’ Speedy knowing Speedy is a newbie. Behind FullMetal is another Maine Coon called Chiu Kuan and mind you, that is my bed!!

Above: This is Speedy, the moment I had opened his carrier. Since he had been…. ‘prospered’ for the past month, he could not get his entire body into the side cabinet.

Above: Anyway, it does not took Speedy hiding for long since I had prepared his favourite meal, Frisian Tuna with Shrimp and after he had finished his asumptious meal, he walked around checking his other roomates and explore the entire room.

Above: OK. 1st day of show day. Here he is standing proud and anxiously waiting for his turn to be judged.

Above: Here is Speedy with Judge Ayumi Ueda. Speedy got 6th place under her judging.

Above: Here is Speedy with Judge Allan Raymond. Speedy also got 6th place under his judging.

Above: Here is Speedy with Judge Yukiko Hayata. Speedy got 9th place under her judging.

Above: Here is Speedy with Judge Jan Rogers. Speedy got 2nd under her judging.

Above: Here am I, been called upon by Jan Rogers (and so is the other cat owners under the Household Pets) to share stories about the cat.

Above: Here is Speedy with his winning rossettes. He is kinda exhausted after came home from Melaka and he eventually slept the whole day. Anyway, I am so proud of him, whether he wins or not.
