Felix tried his luck and got himself a birthday present

This posting, similar to others is really for our record purposes, as part of our memories of the  children's life path, rather than to show-off. We trust our blog readers would understand.
 
This cat show was quite a challenging one, as its a 2 day show (24-25th March 2018). The worst part was that it started late on the first day, at around 2pm - the time which Felix would usually have his afternoon nap. Unfortunately, he had wasted some energy during the 2 hour delay as the absence of tables, means he was being confined to the pet carrier and was on the alert at all times.
 
Though the results for each ring varied greatly, he made 2 new records for himself - (1) Got first place in 2 rings (something which we never dream of, though he did got a second and third in earlier competitions), and (2) Rosettes for all the 12 rings.
 
Another encouraging development was that he was willing to eat some food/snack while on the competition site, meaning that he was getting accustomed to the game.

Day 1:

Ring 1 - 1st
Ring 2 - 7th
Ring 3 - 6th
Ring 4 - 6th
Ring 5 - 8th
Ring 6 - 10th

Day 2:



Ring 1 - 4th
Ring 2 - 9th
Ring 3 - 10th
Ring 4 - 9th - Felix was really unlucky in this ring. His actual position should be 7th, and the judge didn't realized he made a mistake until he awarded the rosettes for the 7th place. As judges usually award the rosettes from 10th place up and once the announcement was made, it would not be changed.
Ring 5 - 1st
Ring 6 - 5th

So Felix ended up with a rainbow of rosettes, in time as his 2 year old birthday present:




 
See how proud both his sisters were of bim!
