Thread: the good and the bad sideof cat shows

indeed , i know that i have been lucky as eric seems to have got over this so quickly ..only the odd sneeze ...but he was so depressed the first couple of days and i know the vet hated me going in and saying ...'hes just not eric' ...not very helpful to him. i am glad you tinies are ok and hope that roco and beau get better soon ...not nice when your babes are ill ... we worry so very much over them

Hope all goes well with the babies. Yes its wonderfull to do well at the shows , but its very scary bringing something back when you have very vunreble babies at home.

Hope Beau and Roco get better soon, thinking of you! XxX

Beau is much better and is fast returning to his friendly, purring, nosy self but Roco is still ill, if it wasn't for Viyo she wouldn't have eaten for three days now! We've never brought a virus back from a show before, I guess we were just unlucky this time, but it has scratched our Supreme trip there is no way they will be well enough for that.

I've just had two older girls neutered too so they need a bit of TLC. and so far the tinies are fine, I now completely change my clothes before I go into their bedroom I will only relax once they're inocculated, so only another six weeks to go!

i hope they all make a speedy recovery

We've twice bought fleas back from GCCF shows I know its not life threatening or anything but still bloody annoying. I know we didn't take them with us so they must have been picked up there. I show a white cat so theres no chance of missing them! Hope everyone makes a full and speedy recovery

Was it at Godmanchester? I overheard two fellow show goers complaining about the venue, evidently someone was spun at a vetting in there due to fleas, when she didn't have any problems at home, by all accounts the place is flea paradise, as it is a rescue centre... Woodgreen springs to mind.

Acually people do get turned away at shows when they should have kept kitty at home, someone tried to show their cat after it had burnt a circle of fur off on their Aga... needless to say the vets thought it was ringworm!
