Vot and Crazy Forest are heading to a cat show. It is Vot's first adult show and the very first show for Crazy Forest who will compete as a Household Pet. Vot is trying to show Forest what it takes to be a show cat.

First, you don't want to be left behind! Vot encourages Forest to wait on the luggage or in a carrier.

Forest has had his first bath and would rather play with the towels...

...and make faces from the tub than get ready to travel.

At the show hotel Vot knows it is important to get a good night of "beauty sleep".

Forest makes this a challenge...

... and finally Vot gets pushed onto the floor

...where he spends the rest of the night!

In the morning Vot can't get anyone up...

especially Forest who has decided that the morning of the show is a perfect time to catch up on her sleep.

At the cat show Vot knows the importance of preparation and works on his grooming and pre-competition stretching.

Forest finds grooming boring and unnecessary.

Vot also knows the importance of meeting and greeting new fans ... and posing for a few photos.

Forest is only interested in spending time with his buddy.

In the ring Vot knows you must to be alert when the judge goes by so she will see all of your fine qualities.

Forest thinks it is up to the judge to FIND her fine qualities.

Vot believes you should humbly accept your victories because such victories are HARD to achieve (he received six best of breed wins out of ten rings with four finals to became a Champion in his first adult TICA show).

Forest doesn't think this is so hard... as she wins Best HHP Kitten in her first ring...

and in her second ring and in her third ring and in her fourth ring, fifth, six, seventh...

And humble... well she may need to work on that!

Especially after winning Best of the Best HHP Kitten in Show!

So now Vot is back home at Adventure Beach. Champion SnoPride Double D Vot of Adventure Beach will go to other shows.

And Crazy Forest? Well she is back to doing what she does best...being a loveable (and quite self centered) household pet who happens to have a few trophies and a few memories of once being a show cat.
