New Cats On The Blog :: BSD Junction Cat Show 2007 :: August

BSD Junction with collaboration with Cat Fanciers Society of Indonesia (CFSI) had organized a cat show on July 28th, 2007 at BSD Junction Mall approximately 30 minutes from Jakarta town. I was invited again to Jakarta to be their guest judge for the event. There are 74 cats mainly consisting Persians and Exotics inclusive of 3 Maine Coons. They had 3 main categories; Imported Pedigree, Local Bred Pedigree and Non-Pedigree.

Here, I would like to take the oppurtunity to thank Ibu Eva for inviting me to the show and she and her crew had showed great hospitality during my brief stay in Jakarta. To Pristi and Permana for assisting me during the show; my 3 lovely Ring Stewards whom had assisted me for cleaning up the cages and guide the exhibitors to their respective judging cages.

This show is very important to CFSI since they had associated with one of the largest cat association in the world, The Cat Fanciers’ Association (CFA). Ibu Eva had invited me to share my knowledge and experience with them on how to run a CFA show. I sat with the CFSI club committee and discuss with them on preparations, registrations, show formats etc over dinner, a day before the show.

On show day, I’d spent a brief moment to explain to the exhibitors on CFA show formats as well as their responsibilities as CFA exhibitors.

Here are some of the pictures taken during the show.

Here are the winners with their cats for the competition.

The winner for Judge Preference of Non-Pedigree, a very fluffy white Persian mix. The tail was totally awesome and it has the bushiest tail in this cat show.
