I'm back.....

Felix returned to the show ring on 5th December, after over a 3 year break because of his liver/bile problem. We decided to participate as its a small 1 day show, so pressure should be acceptable. Besides, its a good bye present to Auntie Zellen, who took good care of him since he came to our family. 

We didn't realize time passed so quickly. At 5 years 8 months, we thought he is at the prime of age. But in the show, he is the second most senior, and within his group, he is the oldest. But has he lost his charisma?

We found he has improved a lot. Though a bit frightened during the first ring, as he tried to walk out of the stage, other than that he just let it be. In the second ring, he is a lot calmer, and energetic. He sat up straight and paid more attention to the surrounding.

While waiting/resting in his shelter, he seemed very much at home - nosy, walked and looked around and even poke his head out. Ate dry cat food a few times (not 1 or 2 pieces, but over 15 pieces) and even drank some water. Initially, he slept well only when my hand touches him, but at the latter part of the day, he just nap on his own.

Unfortunately, Felix's appeal doesn't fit the taste of local judges, but in our mind, he's the winner in his own right - he has grown and mature. So, this day's effort is not wasted, but its unlikely he will be back in the ring regularly.
