Stella started to experience "what is competition" and "charitable drive".
Like her brothers and sisters, we believe that Stella should try her best to help less fortunate children. She tried hard in cat shows to apart from winning rosettes, to win "goodies" as well. But unfortunately, sponsorship doesn't always work out well, so Stella wasn't too successful by this means.
Luckily, during December, there were 2 competitions giving out cat food as prizes. As mummy is often pretty well prepared for this, she dug out from the album collection, submitted them and then went on charitable drive plea for support. Fortunately, Stella was able to master sufficient "LIKE" to stay within the top 10 and got her share of the pie.
1) Hosted by Vetmacy: 30 cans of Hills cat food
2) Hosted by: Hills Nutrition HK: 120 cans of Hills cat food, 5 bags of Hills dry food, a cat scratcher, a cat teaser
The above prizes were being given to 3 cat volunteers, helping less fortunate children in Tsimshatsui, Mongkok, Prince Edward and Shamshuipo.
Another type of competition is cat show. We chose to be a regular participant in Feline Fanciers Federation (FFF) 2024 cat shows in Hong Kong. Compared with the CFA which is an international organisation, FFF is Asia focused. and they run fewer shows in HK each year. Hence, less time consuming and costly, and less tiring to human and cat, and yet we could have a rough idea how Stella stands against peers in Asia.
Overall, Stella performed to our satisfaction, as she won 3 awards:
- Regional Winner: Hong Kong Best Alter
- National: 13th Best Regional Alter
- National: Best Condition
So overall, a pretty rewarding year for Stella!
