You
may
think
that
all
you
see
at
a
cat
show
are
pretty
faces
Toyger
Bengal kitten
Singapura named Maybelline
Somali
Maine Coon
But
some
cat
show
kitties
like
to
make
*funny*
faces
 |
I am fierce vampire! |
 Abyssinian
|
And I like to sing! |
All
the
kitties
want
affection
 Bengal
|
Scratch my chest and I’ll show you my beautiful green eyes |
And to play
 |
I will sit on my sister until you give me the feather toy. |
 Bengals
|
*My*
feather toy!
|
But the thing they don't tell you about cat shows is that they are love-fests!
This
Bengal
girl-cat is named "BengalXpress Kaluha"
Of course even the most loving cats can get a little cranky
after hours of looking beautiful for the crowd
Bengal
But in the end, yep, it’s a love-fest.
Bengal kitten and her auntie
There was kissing
American Curl
And kitties sleeping together!
American Curls
And even interracial kissing!
Siamese and Chausi
But
he’s
saving
his
love
for
mom
This
Egyptian
Mau,
Rocky, is now a Supreme Grand Champion!
 Balinese |
Jakey
feels
his
kisses
are
private.
He
stuck
his
tongue
out at
me
for photographing mom's kiss. |
Some
seem
patient
and
loving
until
you
find
they’ve
been
tattooing
numbers on your hand when you’re not looking
Burmese
Some
like
a
baby-hug
Burmese
But if you look around you'll find more kissing is going on!

Some like both a hug
Japanese

*and* a kiss

Here’s the judge giving the Pixie Bob kitten a little hug
His
name
is
kitten in the 2009/2010 season and a regional winner.
And here’s a big hug for a big Pixie Bob
Notice his hands - some Pixie Bobs are polydactyl
which means they have more than 5 fingers or toes - cool!
Here’s a polydactyl kitty’s paw. You can see he’s got 7 fingers and 2 or 3 “palms”
Polydactyls
can
pick
up
food
as
though
they
have
opposable
thumbs!
This kitty's turned to the bottle!
Ragdoll
After just a few drinks her tongue is lolling!
Savannahs are *really* big
Maddie, Savannah kitten
You
can
see
this
rare
black
Savannah’s
arm
is
almost as long as his mom’s and
she’s really tall
(5’9”)
Savannah (named Barack)
Barack wants a kiss
And what about the Scottish Folds?
Yes! She wants a kiss!
Scottish Fold
A big wet kiss!
Scottish Fold
Curlilocks isn’t quite sure what he wants
Selkirk Rex
But this big guy wants a belly rub!
Siberian
