Oberon's show diary - Capital LH CC

Something’s up….. I’m a pretty smart cat and I just KNOW when Mummy’s up to something.
GD Pr Morninglory King Oberon

Monday: There are clear signs that there’s something BIG happening …
- our big splashy-face water bowls have been moved! Mummy’s put some tiddly, piddly ones down. No good for going diving in!
- the really big blowy dryer-thing has come out of the cupboard.
- no fish for supper (a sure sign that Mummy’s planning something; we always have fish for supper on a Monday).
(Oberon’s Mummy: Oberon’s approach to eating cooked fish is to go face down into the bowl and get as much of it on his bib and ruff as he can so fish is off the menu on show prep days.)
And….
OH NO!!! The cat-flap is closed! How will we get out into our garden to check on the frogs, and the squirrels – and the fish in my pond???

Tuesday Morning: The game’s up…..Had my usual morning grooming (Mummy cleans my eyes, combs me right-side up and sunny-side up) but then Mummy started running the big bath. Had a LOVELY long soak (I do love having a bath and I could stay in there all day; I gave Mummy lots of kisses she got nearly as wet as I did). Then she put me in a snuggly towel and we went downstairs to sit on the floor; I sat underneath the big blowy dryer whilst Mummy combed out my coat and tickled my feet. I was under there for ages…..then when I was dry she powdered me all over and tickled my feet again.
Supper-time: Cat-flap’s still closed…. Oh no…. here she comes with the powder again. Combed again and more feet tickling.

Wednesday: Morning and evening routine: Eyes, combed right-side and sunny-side up, powdered my coat and then tickled my feet. (Oberon’s Mummy: It’s not tickling - I’m trying to get his feet clean!) Cat-flap’s still closed, but Mummy carried my out into the garden to inspect my pond. Everything’s okay.

Thursday: Eyes, combed, powdered and feet tickled three times today! Still no fish for supper…..cat-flap’s still closed but I noticed that Hero and Tinkerbell (my cousins) were allowed out to play for a while.

Friday: Another day of intensive tickling! Three times today but I must say, my coat looks and feels beautiful and I’m getting quite excited! My show carrier is in the hall, so I’ve spent the day inside, checking it out. Still no fish for supper… !

Saturday: Got up in the dark! Had breakfast then Mummy put me under the big blowy dryer to get all my powder out and now it looks like it’s been snowing in the living room! Then Mummy carried me outside into the cold air and turned up upside down; it was really good fun! Eventually, once all of the powder was out of my coat, I climbed into my carrier and we went off in the dark for a Big Adventure.

I had a really happy day because I made some new friends and cuddled up to some nice ladies in white coats who were showing me off to the Important Judges. When Mummy came back (I think she’d been shopping for fish) she was really pleased and gave me big cuddles. The Important Judges gave me some beautiful flower-things (rosettes for Grand PC, PC, BOB) and a big shiny cup. Just when I thought it was all over, a nice lady in a white coat put me into my carrier and I went to see some more Important Judges. They cuddled me for a while, and then I was allowed back to my pen to see Mummy. (Oberon’s Mummy: Oberon was nominated for BIS and won Best Male Neuter.)

 

show day

I slept all the way home in the car and then I got home – oh joy of joys! – the cat-flap was open and I went out to sit by my pond! The stars were out and I had a lovely evening telling Hero, Tinkerbell and Candy all about my trip out with Mummy.

Back home

 

Sunday: Had a long lie in….Phew – everything’s back to normal! The splashy water bowls are back, the big blowy dryer is back in the cupboard, I only got groomed once today and….we had fish for supper!!!!!!!

 

 

I hope everyone is aware that I am even more important
