Elena’s show report:
WCF & FIFe Show 14-15.10.2006 from St.Petersburg, Russia

"Koshachyi Assamblei meaning "Cats Assembly" took place in St.
Petersburg. It was arranged by the two cat clubs Eylur (WCF) and Astarta (FIFe).
These shows were not big. Last year it was a united show with monobreed rings for the cats from both systems.
WCF doesn’t allow united shows anymore; therefore two separate shows took place during that weekend.
At the WCF show Siberians were judged in 14.10.06 by the Austrian TICA AB judge, Mr.Vlach Kurt and in 15.10.06 by Russian WCF AB judge Mrs. Beninja Vlada.

Me and my cats

I was at the WCF show the first day with my older boy EC (FIFe)
GrandEuroCh (WCF) Jonathan-Timange (# 019): He obtained his CACM which
is a title of candidate to become World Champion. I took part in both
days with my younger boy Edelweiss Yurik of Fialka (# 068) at the FIFe
show. This was his first show in an adult class. I'm happy he
did well.

Special comment:

An EXO kitten Odri # 033 (owner & breeder Vasilieva L.T.) was the best kitten of the 1st group. I’m not a fan of this breed, but this kitten is really something like a little toy. She won over a very big Persian boy. Enjoy her picture!


#033 Odri Best Kitten category EXO

Personal opinion of the show:

Personally I was very impressed by very professional judgement of the Danish judge, Mr.Per Hilfling-Olesen (AB FIFE judge) He is evidently a true cat lover.

It was also my first FIFe show by the new system; with only one Best of the Best panel for neutered cats, juniors and kittens. BTW Best of the Best was a Main Coon, a junior cat.

I was surprised by this new system; according the new show rules, for example, a cat - who was neutered due to knicked tail (or any other genetic defect) - can compete against a breeding cat. This issue puzzled me at this FIFe show.

Next show is in Petersburg 04-05.11.2006 organized by the cat club "Bastet".
Until then!
