The Biggest International Cat Show 2008
Cat Fanciers Society of Indonesia or CFSI in short is having their very first 4-ring show and this biggest cat show in Jakarta, Indonesia was held from 29th-30th November. The judges for this historic show were Karen Lawrence (AB), Nancy Dodds (AB), Edward Maeda (AB) and Donna Fuller (AB). I was invited by CFSI to be one of their Ring Clerk and I am honored to be able to clerk for Karen Lawrence. She is certainly one funny lady and clerking under her is really entertaining and fun. The show was held in a shopping complex, POIN Square, approximately 35 minutes from the main city of Jakarta.
There were participants from Malaysia as well as Thailand but due to unforseen circumstances, the Thai exhibitors could not make it for the show. There were 149 cats registered in this show and I must say I am certainly impressed with the number in their second show just after 7 months from their very first.
